I’m growin my cedar, my champagne warm I had to struggle to make it, I die for my chov Used to call my dislexic, it was a challenge to read Mother helped me at night until I finally achieved Sometimes I look in the mirror, I can’t believe I’m alive Disrespect for the niggas who wanna take me alive Wishing death on you nigga we never see eye to eye Somehow I pray for you niggas, at the very same time See I was raised in the south, you helped your brother to shine I watched everything change, in the blink of an eye Rappers wanna be ballers, ballers wanna be rappers When the liquor endorsments, worth more than your masters Here’s a toast to siroc, all my boys on the block I might be drunk on the couch, But I’m raising the bar, aha, Raising the bar.
[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 Bitch don’t kill my vibe, bitch don’t kill my vibe I can feel your energy from two planets away I got my drink, I got my music I would share it but today I’m yelling Bitch don’t kill my vibe, bitch don’t kill my vibe Bitch don’t kill my vibe, bitch don’t kill my vibe
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar] Look inside of my soul and you can find gold and maybe get rich Look inside of your soul and you can find out it never exist I can feel the changes, I can feel a new life I always knew life can be dangerous I can say that I like a challenge and you to me is painless You don’t know what pain is How can I paint this picture when the color blind is hanging with you Fell on my face and I woke with a scar Another mistake living deep in my heart Wear it on top of my sleeve in a flick I can admit that it did look like yours Why you resent every making of this Tell me your purpose is petty again But even a small lighter can burn a bridge Even a small lighter can burn a bridge
[Bridge: Kendrick Lamar] I can feel the changes I can feel the new people around me just want to be famous You can see that my city found me then put me on stages To me that’s amazing To you that’s a quick check with all disrespect let me say this
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar] I’m trying to keep it alive and not compromise the feeling we love You’re trying to keep it deprived and only co-sign what radio does And I’m looking right past you We live in a world, we live in a world on two different axles You live in a world, you living behind the mirror I know what you scared of, the feeling of feeling emotions inferior This shit is vital, I know you had to This shit is vital, I know you had to Die in a pitiful vain, tell me a watch and a chain Is way more believable, give me a feasible gain Rather a seasonal name, I’ll let the people know this is something you can blame On yourselves you can remain stuck in a box I’m a break out and then hide every lock I’m a break out and then hide every lock
[Bridge]
[Hook]
[Outro] You ain’t heard a chorus like this in a long time Don’t you see that long line And they waiting on Kendrick like the first and the fifteenth Threes in the air I can see you are, in sync Hide your feelings, hide your feelings now what you better do I’ll take your girlfriend and put that pussy on a pedestal Bitch don’t kill my vibe, bitch don’t kill my vibe Walk out the door and they scream it’s alive My New Year’s resolution is to stop all the pollution Talk too motherfucking much, I got my drink I got my music I say bitch don’t kill my vibe, bitch don’t kill my vibe Bitch don’t kill my vibe, bitch don’t kill my vibe
