Kendrick Lamar - Blue Faces lyrics

[Kendrick] 2 tears in the bucket I cry with you But I could never lie with you I could never afford not to afford! I could never put my plans to the side with you! I could never see a red light Like a deer with the headlight I freeze up when I reup See I barely had patience And you're relating Only the moment to complete us Why you hate to work for it? Went to work for it See a nine to five was so jive turkey But when Thanksgiving came, checks didn't hurt me You plead the fifth I read the fifth amendment We both criminals with bad intentions They say time heals all But if I could shortcut My success, Corvettes by tomorrow But why you so sad? Walking around with them blue faces They say I'm down on my luck And it's something I gotta have Blue faces Walking around with them blue faces I hit the bank today and tell them color me bad Blue faces Get that new money, and it's breaking me down My home girl got a credit card scam She got a scholarship to college but she don't give a damn Intuition got a black woman wishin' She sayin' this on the phone with the noodles in the pan I know you, woman, I console you, woman You feel like the universe owes you, woman Oh the anticipation, hoping you could make it Women don't prosper chasing education But you're talented, and can't handle it And your homegirls can't be your manager 365 times four, plus more Can't get it right, tell me, do you got the stamina? But ain't no money like fast money Even today I'm considered a crash dummy A rapper chasing stardom, how can I fast forward? My accolades better than all them But why I'm so sad? Walking around with them blue faces They say I'm down on my luck And it's something I gotta have Blue faces Walking around with them blue faces I hit the bank today and tell them color me bad Blue faces Get that new money, and it's breaking me down I love god, I love speed, I love drank, I love me I love oceans in the deep, I love me I love women, I love me I love God But I'm scared of god speed Sometimes Wrote this song like I never went home and made it You know the poverty stricken the lyrical broke boy and baby Somebody say Kendrick American they sho' is crazy And I said "why?" The he looked me in the eye He said homie you messed up You breaking my good luck You wishing for miracles Living through sh**, you're crying hysterical Settle for everything, complain about everything Say your soul crack, my world amphetamines You projects ain't it, I live in the hood You living to keep warm I'm living to pay rent I paid my way through Praying to Allah You played your way through dealing with Wi-Fi Go f** yourself, you talking to strangers Same thing go for the ones you came with We all came on the boat looking for hope And all you can say is that you're looking for dope These days ain't no compromise Your pain ain't mine half the time A brand new excuse ain't nothing to me See I made my moves, with shackled feet Cape Town, Cape Town, Cape Town, Cape Town Cape Town, Cape Town, Cape Town Corn row kenny I wanna get the mixed dashboards triple digits, skrr I wanna get the mixed dashboards triple digits, skrr, skrr Corn row kenny So many plays on me I finesse Palisade views with some s** I lost a lot of love for missionary This the first time I react Me and Top is like a Kobe and Phil A father figure play with him, he get k**ed Play with me and he will k** you himself TDE the mafia of the west Move in silence, yeah, we juggin' like that Act of violence, yeah, we juggin' like that I did a lot of dumb things in my past Love will give me hope and I won't relapse Dave just bought a new nine eleven Almost thought I'd seen another plane crash Q just bought a brand new McLaren Rock-a-lack about to buy the projects Rashad got his son dripping in gold Me I'm 'bout to let my hair down the holes Ali 'bout to let his hair down the holes Top billing that's a million a show Might blow the [?] Soul Might tell Obama be more like Punch Sounwave got a Grammy this year Mack [?], but he do what he want Level two, level two No I'm not done You ain't gotta tell me that I'm the one I could put a rapper on life support Guarantee something that none of you want Then hold me down and they yell something like Rent is like twenty five hundred a month What if I empty my bank out and stunt? What if I empty my bank out and stunt? You ain't gotta tell me that I'm the one You ain't gotta tell me that I'm the one You ain't gotta tell me that I'm the one You ain't gotta tell me that I'm the one You ain't got, you ain't got You ain't got, you ain't You ain't gotta tell me that I'm the one Yes I'm the one
