Lyrics of euphoria by Kendrick Lamar

intro

Euphoria

verse

Them superpowers getting neutralized, I can only watch in silence

The famous actor we once knew is lookin' paranoid and now spiralin'

You're movin' just like a degenerate, every antic is feelin' distasteful

I calculate you're not as calculated, I can even predict your angle

verse

Fabricating stories on the family front 'cause you heard Mr. Morale

A pathetic master manipulator, I can smell the tales on you now

You're not a rap artist, you a scam artist with the hopes of being accepted

Tommy Hilfiger stood out, but FUBU never had been your collection

verse

I make music that electrify 'em, you make music that pacify 'em

I can double down on that line, but spare you this time, that's random acts of kindness

Know you a master manipulator and habitual liar too

But don't tell no lie about me and I won't tell truths 'bout you

bridge

Shoo, shoo, shoo

Shoo, shoo, shoo

Bee, bee, bee, bee, bee, bee

verse

Yeah, I'm out the way, yeah, I'm low, okay

Yeah, the island right here's remote, okay

I ain't thinkin' about no reaper

nigg*, I'm reapin' what I sow, okay

Got a Benjamin and a Jackson all in my house like I'm Joe, okay

verse

Hellcat, made his homeboys and them type sell they soul, okay

Everybody wanna be demon 'til they get chipped by your throwaway

And I might do a show a day, once a lame, always a lame

Oh, you thought the money, the power or fame would make you go away?

verse

Have you ever played have-you-ever? Okay, nigg*, let's play

Have you ever walked your enemy down like with a poker face?

Have you ever paid five hundred thou' like to an open case?

Well, I have, and I failed at both, but I came out straight

verse

I hate when a rapper talk about guns, then somebody die

They turn into nuns, then hop online, like "Pray for my city"

His daddy a killer, he wanna be junior, they must've forgot the sh*t that they done

Dementia must run in his family, but let it get shaky

I'll park his son

verse

The very first time I shot me a Drac', the homie had told me to aim it this way

I didn't point down enough, today, I'll show you I learned from those mistakes

Somebody had told me that you got a ring, on God, I'm ready to double the wage

I'd rather do that than let a Canadian nigg* make Pac turn in his grave

verse

Cutthroat business, you got sh*t twisted

What is it? The braids?

I hurt your feelings? You don't wanna work with me no more? Okay

It's three G.O.A.T.s left, and I seen two of them kissin' and huggin' on stage

I love 'em to death, and in eight bars, I'll explain that phrase, huh

verse

It's nothin' nobody can tell me, huh

I don't wanna talk on no celly, huh

You know I got language barriers, huh

It's no accent you can sell me, huh

Yeah, Cole and Aubrey know I'm a selfish nigg*, the crown is heavy, huh

I pray they my real friends, if not, I'm YNW Melly

verse

I don't like you poppin' sh*t at Pharrell, for him, I inherit the beef

Yeah, f*ck all that pushin' P, let me see you push a T

You better off spinnin' again on him, you think about pushin' me

He's Terrence Thornton, I'm Terence Crawford, yeah, I'm whoopin' feet

verse

We ain't gotta get personal, this a friendly fade, you should keep it that way

I know some sh*t about nigg*s that make Gunna Wunna look like a saint

This ain't been about critics, not about gimmicks, not about who the greatest

It's always been about love and hate, now let me say I'm the biggest hater

verse

I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress

I hate the way that you sneak diss, if I catch flight, it's gon' be direct

We hate the bitches you f*ck, 'cause they confuse themself with real women

And notice, I said "we," it's not just me, I'm what the culture feelin'

verse

How many more fairytale stories 'bout your life 'til we had enough?

How many more Black features 'til you finally feel that you're Black enough?

I like Drake with the melodies, I don't like Drake when he act tough

You gon' make a nigg* bring back Puff, let me see if Chubbs really crash somethin'

verse

Yeah, my first one like my last one, it's a classic, you don't have one

Let your core audience stomach that, then tell 'em where you get your abs from

V12, it's a fast one, baow-baow-baow, last one

Headshot for the year, you better walk around like Daft Punk

verse

Remember?

Ayy, Top Dawg, who the f*ck they think they playin' with?

Extortion my middle name as soon as you jump off of that plane, bitch

I'm allergic to the lame sh*t, only you like bein' famous

Yachty can't give you no swag neither, I don't give a f*ck 'bout who you hang with

verse

I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress

Surprised you wanted that feature request

You know that we got some sh*t to address

I even hate when you say the word "nigg*," but that's just me, I guess

Some sh*t just cringeworthy, it ain't even gotta be deep, I guess

verse

Still love when you see success, everything with me is blessed

Keep makin' me dance, wavin' my hand, and it won't be no threat

I'm knowin' they call you The Boy, but where is a man? 'Cause I ain't seen him yet

Matter fact, I ain't even bleed him yet, can I bleed him? Bet

verse

When I see you stand by Sexyy Red, I believe you see two bad bitches

I believe you don't like women, it's real competition, you might pop ass with 'em

Let's speak on percentage, show me your splits, I'll make sure I double back with you

You were signed to a nigg* that's signed to a nigg* that said he was signed to that nigg*

verse

Try cease and desist on the "Like That" record?

Hoe, what? You ain't like that record?

"Back To Back," I like that record

I'ma get back to that, for the record

Why would I call around tryna get dirt on nigg*s? Y'all think all my life is rap?

That's hoe sh*t, I got a son to raise, but I can see you don't know nothin' 'bout that

verse

Wakin' him up, know nothin' 'bout that

And tell him to pray, know nothin' 'bout that

And givin' him tools to walk through life like day-by-day, know nothin' 'bout that

Teachin' him morals, integrity, discipline, listen, man, you don't know nothin' 'bout that

Speakin' the truth and consider what God's considerin', you don't know nothin' 'bout that

verse

Ain't 20-v-1, it's 1-v-20 if I gotta smack nigg*s that write with you

Yeah, bring 'em out too, I'll clean 'em out too

Tell BEAM that he better stay right with you

Am I battlin' ghost or AI? nigg* feelin' like Joel Osteen

Funny, he was in a film called "AI"

And my sixth sense tellin' me to off him

verse

I'ma blick nigg*s all in they coffin

Yeah, OV-hoe nigg*s is dick riders

Tell 'em run to America, they imitate heritage, they can't imitate this violence

What I learned is nigg*s don't like the West Coast

And I'm fine with it, I'll push the line with it

Pick a nigg* off one at a time with it

We can be on a three-hour time difference

verse

Don't speak on the family, crodie

It can get deep in the family, crodie

Talk about me and my family, crodie?

Someone gon' bleed in your family, crodie

I be at New Ho King eatin' fried rice with a dip sauce and blammy, crodie

Tell me you're cheesin', fam

We can do this right now on the camera, crodie

verse

Ayy, f*ck y'all nigg*s, I don't trust y'all nigg*s

I wave one finger and thump y'all nigg*s like mmm

Field goal, punt y'all nigg*s, they punk y'all nigg*s, nobody never took my food

Whoever that's f*ckin' with him, f*ck you nigg*s, and f*ck the industry too

If you take it there, I'm takin' it further

Psst, that's somethin' you don't wanna do

outro

Ooh

We don't wanna hear you say "nigg*" no more

We don't wanna hear you say "nigg*" no more

Stop
