Bad Blood
Masen Lea Lyrics

'Cause baby, now we got bad blood
The relationship between us is now beyond repair

You know it used to be mad love
We used to have a passionate and intense love

So take a look what you've done
Reflect on your actions and how they led to this situation

'Cause baby, now we got bad blood, hey!
The consequences of your actions have led to a toxic and bitter relationship

Hey! I can't take it back, look where I'm at!
I cannot undo the hurtful things that have happened and the current state of our relationship

We was on D like DOC, remember that? (Remember that)
We were a powerful and influential duo, but now that partnership is over

My TLC was quite OD, ID my facts (ID my)
My loyalty and care for you was too much, and I was blind to the truth

Now POV of you and me, similar Iraq
Our current perspective is like a war zone, with each side hurting and fighting the other

I don't hate you but I hate to critique, overrate you
I don't wish ill on you, but I can no longer tolerate or overvalue your actions and character

These beats of a dark heart, use basslines to replace you
My heart is full of sadness and anger, and I use music to cope and fill the void that you left

Take time and erase you, love don't hear no more
I need to take time to heal and move past our failed relationship, and love doesn't abide in my heart anymore

No I don't fear no more, better yet respect ain't quite sincere no more
I am no longer afraid of losing you or the power dynamics between us, and the respect I once had for you is no longer authentic

Oh, it's so sad to
It is a painful experience to

Think about the good times
Remember the positive moments of our past

Now we got problems
Our relationship is currently in a bad place

And I don't think we can solve 'em
I am not confident that we can resolve our issues and make things better

You made a really deep cut
Your actions caused significant harm and pain

And baby, now we got bad blood, hey!
And now we are dealing with the aftereffects of that harm and pain

Remember when you tried to write me off?
Recall the time when you attempted to abandon and dismiss me

Remember when you thought I'd take a loss?
Recall the time when you believed I would suffer and fail

Don't you remember? You thought that I would need yah
Do you not recollect how you believed I was dependent on you?

Follow procedure, remember? Oh wait, you got amnesia?
Remember how you expected me to follow your rules? Oh, never mind, you conveniently forgot

It was my season for battle wounds, battle scars
I was going through a rough patch, with many emotional and psychological scars

Body bumped, bruised
My physical and mental health took a beating

Stabbed in the back; brimstone, fire jumping through
You betrayed me and left me feeling hopeless, angry, and in pain

Still, all my life, I got money and power
Despite the challenges I have faced, I have gained success and influence

And you gotta live with the bad blood now
You now have to live with the negative consequences of your actions, as I have

Band-aids don't fix bullet holes
Temporary solutions won't heal deep and lasting wounds

You say sorry just for show
Your apologies are insincere and performative

If you live like that, you live with ghosts
If you continue to act in a hurtful way, you will be haunted by the consequences of your behavior

(You forgive, you forget but you never let it go)
(You may forgive and forget, but the pain and hurt will always linger)

If you love like that blood runs cold
If you love in a toxic and unfeeling way, your heart will become cold and numb

(Think we can solve 'em!)
(I still hope that we can resolve our issues and make things better)

Look what you've done
Reflect on the harm and damage that your actions have caused

'Cause baby, now we got bad blood, hey!
The harm done to our relationship is irreparable and destructive

Now we've got problems
Our problems and disagreements have escalated

You made a really deep cut
Your actions caused significant harm and pain

And baby, now we got bad blood, hey!
Our relationship has been tainted by bitterness and resentment as a result
