[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
It was eye-witnessing poverty
Burning bullets allowing these walls breaking
Devour these laws trying to empower me
I thought I knew the reason you grew to love sour diesel
Smokin' like locomotive, your focus was hourly
[Verse 2: Jay Rock & Kendrick Lamar]
I used the drugs, now I fell victim
To a genie in a bottle, hope she grant my wishes (Grant my wishes)
When I’m dealin’ with troubles in life
She see me comin’, runnin’ with buckets of ice
She my gift and my curse, she really quenching my thirst
Baby my vice, got me driving with no headlights (Is that right?)
She know my thoughts, pleasures, and pain
Everybody love her and she love everybody the same
She said, "I got a plan, got a plan for ya
I might hold a couple bands for ya
Leave a message in the sand for ya”
Tell me you want me to change
Hell nah, I'm still sippin' the same
N***a, it's just like heroin
[Pre-Chorus 1: Lance Skiiiwalker]
Streets don't fail me now, need you right on time
Say, right on time
Please stay paced and ground, need you right on time
Say, you right on time
Streets don't fail me now, need you right on time
Say, you right on time
God, please lift the smile, need you right on time
Say, right on time
[Chorus: SZA]
Run away from the fire, I wanna fly downhill
Lay your head over this side, now
You keep pain on the inside, now
What's been eating you, who's been keeping you?
You’ve been beating you down, and
You’ve been keeping you higher and higher
[Verse 3: Punch]
Functioning addict, I’m high off her passion
Chasing history’s baddest, I mastered this apparatus
Rackin' my brain, I'm scared of being average
Going against the grain just tryna maintain my savage
Foolish of her to try to play towards my vanity
And foolish of me to let her do it, I love calamity
I love a challenge, nah, I love the fantasy
And this is high stakes, I risk it all for a pair of snakes
[Verse 4: Kendrick Lamar]
Caught me, your pity party had towered me
Shower me with the will that never dried
I tell you, "Put your worries and friendly doubts to the side"
I doubt that you listen, it’s stuck in your system, I tried
She’s been miserable, she’s been livin' in prison
Soaking up life’s reality, this is the visual
Baby daddy a light build, blade walkin' with high heel
Paid stalking that avenue, never knew how the light feel, I
[Pre-Chorus 2: Isaiah Rashad]
I heard you spending all your time, baby
And you could never get a dime, baby
At least a n***a got a dime, baby
It's hard to come home
It's hard to come home
[Chorus: SZA]
Run away from the fire, I wanna fly downhill
Lay your head over this side, now
You keep pain on the inside, now
What's been eating you, who's been keeping you?
You’ve been beating you down, and
You’ve been keeping you higher and higher
[Bridge: SZA & Ab-Soul]
You won’t last the night at this place
Baby, oh, you won’t last the night at this place
Man, I don’t mind it (I don’t mind it)
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
I don’t mind it (Yeah, I don’t mind)
It’s all in your mind (It’s all in your mind)
And I don’t mind
I don’t mind it, yeah
[Verse 5: Ab-Soul]
Back tryin’ to get in a n***a’s pockets
And tryin’ to wipe it, get in a n***a’s pockets
I whisper wisdom to the masses
But the wicked part about it all is I don’t mind it (I don’t mind it)
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
I don’t mind it (Yeah, I don’t mind)
It’s all in your mind
And I don’t mind
I don’t mind it, yeah
[Outro: Ab-Soul]
Yeah
I don’t mind it
It’s all in your mind
Didn’t mind
I don’t mind–
