Kendrick Lamar
Please Don’t Kill My Vibe
[Intro]
I am a sinner who's probably gonna sin again
Lord forgive me, Lord forgive me
Things I don't understand
Sometimes I need to be alone
It's just been one of them weeks
Ruslan
Look, I should really be workin' on my album right now
But I couldn't help myself
Please don't kill my vibe, please don't kill my vibe
Please don't kill my vibe, please don't kill my vibe
[Verse 1]
Look inside of my eyes and you will soon find a greener eclipse
Tryna get though, from the get-go
You the blacks don't miss
Hey, it could feel the strangest
It could feel like you and your best friend are now becoming strangers
I can tell you that I have failed you
But you tell me I'm brainless
And I cannot change this
How can I say the scripture
When the ? for blind, it may not hit ya
Went on the road and I came back a star
Think that I made it and I am in charge
Seeing me different and thinkin' I switched
Man, this whole process is feeling bizarre
I'm just happy to be out of my script
Tell me why you think I'm different again
Taken for granted and then we'll be missed
Taken for granted, later will be missed
[Bridge]
I can feel the changes
I can feel the same people 'round me, now they thinkin' I'm famous
My savior saved me, my city made me
And put me on stages
To me that's amazing
To you that's outrageous, hate this
But please shutup, let me say this
[Hook]
I am a sinner who's probably gonna sin again
Lord forgive me, Lord forgive me
Things I don't understand
Sometimes I need to be alone
Please don't kill my vibe, please don't kill my vibe
I can feel your energy from three planets away
I got my Word, I got my music
I would share it but today I'm singin'
Please don't kill my vibe, please don't kill my vibe
Please don't kill my vibe, please don't kill my vibe
[Verse 2]
I'm tryna to stay on the path, and not look on back to what we once was
You tryna churn into somethin'
Tip on that malt to get you that uuz
Feelin' the rapture
We live in a world, we live in a world
That wants to laugh at ya
We live in a world
I could be honest, I know they don't hear us
They carousel ? life continues propellin' us
Forward, they just wanna put us on the auction block but there's no way they sellin' us
Worth more than minimum wage
Forever you could relate
Any subliminal
Back in my criminal days, I would stil live in a way
That was reciprocal, this was nothin' I could change
So the Messiah was slain
Wow, what a miracle
Opened the door to be saved
Jesus opened the door for all of us to be saved
[Bridge] + [Hook]
[Outro]
They ? like this
Been a long time, can't you see the Lord smiling
They waitin' on ? heart, the tank is all empty
Xs in the air, and they do it by instinct
Hide your children, hide your children
We are not better than you
Please don't put any of these rappers on a pedastal
Please don't kill my vibe, please don't kill my vibe
We don't wanna hear anymore of your lies
My New Year's resolution is the Kings Dream movement
Shut your whole thing down, don't you question what I'm doing
Please don't kill my vibe, please don't kill my vibe
Please don't kill my vibe, please don't kill my vibe
