Crucify, cru-crucify me

Crucify, cru-cru

SZA:

I can't recall the last time I took advice from anyone

Shaped like a figure eight who trusts pretty girls anyway?

And I can't recall the last time I took advice from anyone

I'm sure I'll be the death of me

And I can't recall the last time I took love from anyone

I called daddy, who's got one anyway?

Not me

Are you hating youself?

Do you really hate me?

Are you hating yourself?

Was it worth it?

Would you do it again?

Aren't you tired of always making amends?

I know you hate me now

I bet you hate me now

Bring on the thorny crown

Crucify me

Kendrick Lamar:

Cross my heart then I hope to die with a peace of mind (a peace of mind)

Piece together my brain soon as this beat rewind (beat rewind)

Nitrogen and propane I spike your drink at times (turn up, turn up)

I make it hard to swallow this game, you throw up every line

I notice people got Napoleon complex but that's my confession

You said that we're equal but I know you're beyond gassing that I'm beyond desperate (yeah that)

6AM on a Friday morning, my darkest hours

Them heartless hours

My apartment is lost in a coffin

I'm dead to the world like I popped me a couple downers

Down & Out on my luck

Salt water all on my tux and I call, she don't pick up

Then I fall when summer is ending

I mean there's no pretending I'm stuck in my ways and you're offended

That's life, that's you, this me, that's vice

You're wrong, I'm right, that's light

I belong somewhere on ice

I'm colder a new blood type? Even colder

Cold shoulder, Born Sinner, you know? Cole showed us!

I have nothing to lose, my dark side been well in-tuned

A Gemini go show them faces

And this here just one of my moves, Babylon

SZA:

I'm really over the cryin' thing, wipin' my tears

Who cries anyway, spread like disease all over me

We did ungodly ghastly things, last night I mean

Who's God anyway?

You're mine any day

It's burning

Take me

I wanna feel

Your power

This final hour

Tell me

Are you losing yourself?

Will you lose it for me?

Are you losing yourself?

Was it worth it?

Would you do it again?

Aren't you tired of always making amends?

I know you hate me now

I bet you hate me now

Bring on the thorny crown

Crucify me

Crucify, cru-crucify me

Crucify, cru-cru
