DNA Lyrics by K.Flay

Solutions

2019

[Verse 1]
Started when I was 23
Actin' like my daddy
I know, I know
I recognize parts of you in me
The parts that can't find peace
My soul feels old

[Pre-Chorus]
I made decisions to prove I was different
But you follow me like a ghost
Now I'm a little bit lit and I'm pleading the fifth
As I'm making a toast

[Chorus]
People say I look like you
They say that I got your eyes
My mother says I'm tough like you
Even in the ways that she don't like
And I can't change it, didn't choose my blood
But I made up my mind
That I don't want to be like you
But either way, I got you in my DNA
My DNA

[Verse 2]
I try to just play pretend like I didn't fall apart
I'm lonely, like am I the only one?
When blockin' out the shame stops workin'
Can't you tell, can't you tell that I'm hurtin'?
Hold me if you love me, come show me

[Pre-Chorus]
Found myself down on the pavement
No matter which way that I turned, I was low
But you went before me and traveled the stories
Of places that I shouldn't go

[Chorus]
People say I look like you
They say that I got your eyes
My mother says I'm tough like you
Even in the ways that she don't like
And I can't change it, didn't choose my blood
But I made up my mind
That I don't want to be like you
But either way, I got you in my DNA
My DNA
My DNA
My DNA

[Bridge]
The T-shirt you gave me in '96
It's bleached and it's faded, but it still fits
And I know that you thought that you fucked up
'Cause I used to too, but then I grew up
Now I'm the same age you were when you had me
And I'm not ready to be anybody's daddy
You and I, we both sing the same blues
I wish that you were here so I could thank you

[Chorus]
I know that I look like you
I see it in my own two eyes
My mother says I'm tough like you
Even in the ways I know she likes
And I'm not angry, didn't choose my blood
But I made up my mind
I know that I'm just like you
'Cause either way, I got you in my DNA
My DNA
My DNA
My DNA
My DNA
