Kendrick Lamar – N95
Lyrics
[Intro]
Hello, new world, all the boys and girls
I got some true stories to tell
You’re back outside, but they still lied
Woah-oh-oh-oh (Yeah)
[Verse 1]
Take off the foo-foo, take off the clout chase, take off the Wi-Fi
Take off the money phone, take off the car loan, take off the flex and the white loss
Take off the weird-a$$ jewelry, I’ma take ten steps, then I’m taking off top five
Take off them fabricate streams and them microwave memes, it’s a real world outside (Take that $hit off)
Take off your idols, take off the runway, I take off to Cairo (Take that $hit off)
Take off to San Dro, pay five day stay, take a quarter mill’, hell, if I know
Take off the front flag, take off perception, take off the cop with the eye patch (Take that $hit off)
Take off the unloyal, take off the unsure, take off decisions I lack (Take it off)
Take off the fake deep, take off the fake woke, take off the I’m broke, I care (Take it off)
Take off the gossip, take off the new logic, that if I’m rich, I’m rare (Take it off)
Take off the Chanel, take off the Dolce, take off the Birkin bag
(Take it off)
Take all that designer bull$hit off and what do you have?
(bit©h)
[Chorus]
Huh, huh, uh, you ugly as fu©k (You out of pocket)
Huh, two ATMs (Hah, hah, hah, hah), you steppin’ or what? (You out of pocket, huh)
Who you think they talkin’ bout? Talkin’ ’bout us (You out of pocket, shoot, shoot, shoot)
Who you think they copy off? Copy off us (Get back in pocket)
[Verse 2]
The world in a panic, the women is stranded, the men on a run
The prophets abandoned, the lord take advantage
The market is crashin’, the industry wants nigg@s and bit©hes to sleep in a box where they makin’ a mockery followin’ us
This ain’t Monopoly, watchin’ for love
This ain’t monogamy, y’all gettin’ fu©ked
Jumping on what the hell is that? I gotta relax when I feel (Huh, facts)
All of my descendants, they come in my sleep and say I am too real (Huh, facts)
I’m done with the sensitive taking it personal, done with the black and the white
The wrong and the right, you hoping for change and clericals, I know the feelings that came with burial cries (bit©h)
[Chorus]
Huh, huh, uh, you ugly as fu©k (You out of pocket)
Huh, two ATMs (Hah, hah, hah, hah), you steppin’ or what? (You out of pocket, huh)
Who you think they talkin’ bout? Talkin’ ’bout us (You out of pocket, shoot, shoot, shoot)
Who you think they copy off? Copy off us (Get back in pocket)
[Bridge]
Serving up a look, dancing in the drought
Hello to the big stepper, never losing count
Venting in the safe house, venting in the safe house
[Verse 3]
Can I vent all my truth? I got nothing to lose
I’ve got problems and pools I can swim in my faith
Camera’s moving whenever I’m moving, the family suing whatever I make
Murder is stacking, the president acting, the government taxing my funds in the bank
Homies attracting the feds when I’m bracking, look at my reaction, my pupils on skates (Hold up, hold up)
Let’s think about this for a second (Let’s go)
Tell me what you would do for aesthetic (let’s go)
Would you sell your soul on credit? (Let’s go)
Would you sell your bro for leverage? (Let’s go)
Where the hypocrites at?
What community field, they the only ones relevant (Let’s go)
Where the hypocrites at?
What community field, they the only ones relevant (Let’s go)
[Bridge]
You outta pocket, yeah, you outta pocket (This $hit hard)
You entertain the mediocre, need to stop it (This $hit hard)
You entertaining old friends when they toxic (This $hit hard)
What’s your life, life bull$hit and gossip (This $hit hard)
[Outro]
What the fu©k is cancel culture dawg?
Say what I want about you nigg@s, I’m like Oprah, dawg
I treat you crackers like I’m jigga watch, I own it all
Oh, you worried ’bout a critic, that ain’t protocol (bit©h)
