Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Hold, hold onto each other
Hold, hold onto each other
(This is what the world sounds like)
Nah, f–k you, n—a

You got me f–ked up
F–k you, f–k you

I swear, I’m tired of these emotional ass, ungrateful ass b—hes (shut the f–k up)
Unstable ass, confrontational ass dumb b—hes
You wanna bring a n—a down even when I’m tryna do right
We could go our separate ways right now
You could move on with your life, I swear to God

F–k you n—a, you love a pity party, I won’t show up
Always act like your s–t don’t stink, motherf–ker, grow up
Forever late for s–t, won’t buy s–t, sit around and deny s–t (man)
F–k around on a side b—h, then come f–kin’ up my s–t
What? F–kin’ up yo’ s–t? You must be bleedin’ and more s–t
B—h, I don’t know s–t, f–k yo’ feelings (you some on h-e s–t)

We met as children,
Red clay on our hands,
Brown sun burned bodies,
Smiles as we watched long days…
Melt into southern sunsets,

With time I got older,
I yearned to leave,
My Mom didn’t like you,
The taste of peaches,
I remembered on my lips,

I went home,
Where I felt right,
Sometimes I missed you,
But I didn’t think of you often,
I gave up Peaches for Apples,

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)

Yeah, original crooks, original heads. We doin’ it like this

Word up!

I woke up in the morning, hopped on a train I saw my man
He had an L in his hand, hide it from the beast
At least I catch a bus before I hit my block
I take a mega hit frontin’ on the good chip lollipop
Move the hop so I can put the hip in the grip
Everybody slip so I can take a trip to the dip
Dig a deeper hole microphone control with soul
Look at my hot eye’s tell me how could you be cold
I’m coming to you from the underground, with a thunder sound
#1 question, “Yo how can I be down?”

[Verse 1]
I am Posdnous
I be the new generation of slaves
here to make papes to buy a record exec rakes
the pile of revenue I create
But I guess I don’t get a cut cuz my rent’s a month late
Product of a North Carolina cat
who scratched the back of a pretty woman named Hattie
Who departed life just a little too soon
and didn’t see me grab the Plug Tune fame
As we go a little somethin’ like this
look ma, no protection
