[Hook: Tank] I said she see no evil, she don't hear nothing at all You want to see tomorrow, you promise not to talk Say we on our way now, I'mma see you again And when they ask you questions, you just answer What happened then? What happened then?
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar] I live this life at a pace that anyone can go Know your place and dedicate your role, to the faith that you'll die alone Trace your steps when I do step in a fire of broken bones And I require my heart's desire and when I reap what I sew I bought my momma a Benz, my boobie a Jag A car for my dogs, with a roof full of glass But still I be feeling like none of my light never casts Out of that black cloud that's been watered down since my first chopper blast But fuck that, I'm not worried, even when it's scary Skirt off makin' them hurt off I should have hurt them in a hurry Dirt off all under my fingers, dirt all of 'em gon is gone Shirt off when precedure, resuscitation came early I need you to keep quiet as a mouse Which is ironic cause rats is what I'm talking about I'm hearin the sonics of gun fire The whispers, the silent cries even though I know it's an eye for an eye
[Hook: Tank] I said she see no evil, she don't hear nothing at all You want to see tomorrow, you promise not to talk Say we on our way now, I'mma see you again And when they ask you questions, you just answer What happened then? What happened then?
[Bridge: Tank] I was born a soldier, ride or die for mine Tattooed tears and a lawyer, tried to give me life Heaven can you hear me? I know that hell can So heaven can you heal me? I'm only just a man

[Hook: Tank] I said she see no evil, she don't hear nothing at all You want to see tomorrow, you promise not to talk Say we on our way now, I'mma see you again And when they ask you questions, you just answer What happened then? What happened then?
