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"
He fakin' for likes and digital hugs
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
