[DJ Dahi:]
I said I’m geeked and I’m fired up (fired, fire)
All I want tonight is just get high up (high, high, high)
Girl, you look so good, it’s to die for (die for)
Ooh, that p—y good, it’s to die for (on fire)

[Kendrick Lamar & Rihanna:]
It’s a secret society
All we ask is trust
(All we ask is trust)
All we got is us
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Kung Fu Kenny now
My resume is real enough for two millenniums
A better way to make a wave, stop defendin’ them
I meditate and moderate all of my wins again
I’m hangin’ on the fence again
I’m always on your mind
I put my lyric and my lifeline on the line
And ain’t no limit when I might shine, might grind
You rollin’ with it at the right time, right now
(Only for the dollar sign)

Real friends, how many of us?
How many of us, how many jealous? Real friends
It’s not many of us, we smile at each other
But how many honest? Trust issues
Switched up the number, I can’t be bothered
I cannot blame you for havin’ an angle
I ain’t got no issues, I’m just doin’ my thing
Hope you’re doin’ your thing too
I’m a deadbeat cousin, I hate family reunions

You can stay the night
We can go bowling it ain’t like before

Thinkin’ they s–t and they couldn’t get cab money from me
Some bad chicks didn’t get pass the bridge
