[Kendrick Lamar]

I need some water

Somethin' came over me

Way too high to simmer down

Might as well overheat

Too close to comfort

As blood rush my favorite vein

Heart beat racin' like a junkie's

I just need you to want me

Am I askin' too much?

Let me put the head in

Ooh, I don't want more than that

Girl, I respect the cat

I promise just a touch

Let me put the head in

It's okay, she said, it's okay

[Kendrick Lamar & RAT BOY]

Yeah, I need everybody's motherfuckin' hands up right now

I need everybody's motherfuckin'

Door and his Nike Air Rattles

Rush the fire exit, no time for battles

Well I, I never expected

This that new, new shit

This that new, new shit

Wake up in the mornin' thinkin' 'bout money, kick your feet up

Watch you a comedy, take a shit, then roll some weed up

Go hit you a lick, go fuck on a bitch

Don't go to work today, cop you a fit

Or maybe some kicks and make you

Door in his Nike Air Rattles

Rush the fire exit, no time for battles

Well I, I never expected

Wake up in the mornin' thinkin' 'bout money, kick your feet up

Watch you a comedy-

Hol' up

Wake up in the mornin' thinkin' 'bout money, kick your feet up

Watch you a comedy, take a shit, then roll some weed up

Go hit you a lick, go fuck on a bitch, don't go to work today

Cop you a fit or maybe some kicks and make it work today

Hang with your homies, stunt on your baby mama

Sip some lean, go get a pistol, shoot out the window

Bet your favorite team, play you some Madden

Go to the club, or your mama house

Whatever you doin' just make it count

I need some water

Wake up in the mornin' thinkin' 'bout money, kick your feet up

Hop in the shower, put on your makeup, lace your weave up

Touchin' yourself, call up your nigga, tell him he ain't shit

Credit card scam, get you a Visa, make him pay your rent

Hop on the 'gram, flex on the bitches that be hatin' on you

Pop you a pill, call up your bitches, have 'em waitin' on you

Go to the club, have you some fun, make that ass bounce

It's whatever, just make it count

[Kendrick Lamar]

I need some water

Somethin' came over me

Way too high to simmer down

Might as well overheat

Too close to comfort

As blood rush my favorite vein

Heart beat racin' like a junkie's

I just need you to want me

Am I askin' too much?

Let me put the head in

Ooh, I don't want more than that

Girl, I respect the cat

I promise just a touch

Let me put the head in

It's okay, she said, it's okay

I wake in the mornin', my head spinnin' from the last night

Both in the trance, feelings are dead, what a fast life

Manager called, the lobby called, it's 11:30

Did this before, promised myself I'd be a hour early

Room full of clothes, bag full of money, call it loose change

Fumbled my jewelry, 100k, I lost a new chain

Hop on the bird, hit the next city for another M

Take me a nap and do it again

We all woke up, tryna tune to the daily news

Lookin' for confirmation, hopin' election wasn't true

All of us worried, all of us buried, and our feelings deep

None of us married to his proposal, make us feel cheap

Still and sad, distraught and mad, tell the neighbor 'bout it

Think they agree, parade the streets with your voice proudly

Time passin', things change

Revertin' back to our daily programs

Stuck in our ways, lust

Lately, I feel like I been lusting over the fame

Lately, we lust on the same routine of shame

Lately, lately, lately my lust been hiding (Lately)

Lately, it’s all contradiction

Lately I’m not here

Lately, I lust over self

Lust turn into fear

Lately, in James 4:4 says

Friend of the world is enemy of the Lord

Brace yourself, lust is all yours

I need some water

Somethin' came over me

Way too high to simmer down

Might as well overheat

Too close to comfort

As blood rush my favorite vein

Heart beat racin' like a junkie's

I just need you to want me

Am I askin' too much?

Let me put the head in

Ooh, I don't want more than that

Girl, I respect the cat

I promise just a touch

Let me put the head in

It's okay, she said, it's okay
