Kendrick Lamar Watch The Party Die
[Verse 1]
I think it's time to watch the party die
This shit done got too wicked to apologize
It's different, get him whacked and disqualified
We even kill the killers 'cause they like taking innocent lives
Burn a whole village, we start over, it's really that time
Why reason with these niggas if they can't see the future first?
Why argue with these clowns if the circus is well at work?
Just walk that man down, that'll do everyone a solid
It's love but tough love, sometimes gotta result in violence
If you parade in gluttony without giving truth to the youth, the graveyard is company
Just tell us what casket to choose
They party more than bitches, tell me what are you working for?
They glorify scamming, you get chipped over this credit card
Influencers talked down 'cause I'm not with the basic shit
But they don't hate me, they hate the man that I represent
The type of man that never dick ride 'cause I want a favor
The man that resides in patience
So where the soldiers at?
The one's that lost it all and learnt to learn from that
A thirst for life
Head inside a book 'cause he concerned with that
Information that'll change his life because he yearns for that
Dedication, finding out what's right, 'cause he can earn from that
I feel for the women that deal with the clown and nerd shit
Can't blame them, today they ain't really got much to work with
How many bitches harder than a lot of you niggas?
Would trade all of y'all for Nip, I can't be proud of you niggas
[Chorus]
God, give me life, dear God, please give me peace
Dear God, please keep these lame niggas away from me
Dear God, keep me shining, the f..ck do they really think?
Pocket watching, you must be the police
God, bless these words, dear God, bless how I think
Dear God, draw the line, they tryna confuse 'em with me
Dear God, please forgive me, you knowin' how hard I tried
I think it's time for me to watch the party die (Uh-huh, huh)
Get 'em gone, we gon' watch the party die (Uh-huh)
Send 'em home, we gon' watch the party die
[Verse 2]
I think it's time to watch the party die
Street niggas and the corporate guys, the rappers that report the lies
I need they families mortified
We can do life without 'em, get they bodies organized
Tell me if you obliged
No more pillow talkin', jump starting neighborhood wars
Dirty mackin' bitches because your spirit is insecure
The flashy nigga with nasty decisions using money as a backbone
I want his head cracked before he's back home
The radio personality pushing propaganda for salary
Let me know when they turn up as a casualty
I want agony
Assault and battery
I see a new Earth filled with beautiful people making humanity work
Let's kill the followers that follow up on poppin' mollies from
The obvious, degenerates, that's failing to acknowledge the
Hope that we tryna spread, if I'm not his vote
Then you need to bring his f..cking head or film that shit in Hi-res
[Chorus]
God, give me life, dear God, please give me peace
Dear God, please keep these lame niggas away from me
Dear God, keep me shining, the f..ck do they really think?
Pocket watching, you must be the police
God bless these words, dear God, bless how I think
Dear God, draw the line, they tryna confuse 'em with me
Dear God, please, forgive me, you knowin' how hard I tried
I think it's time for me to watch the party die
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I wonder what Lecrae would do
Fuck these niggas up or show 'em just what prayer do
I want to be empathetic, my heart like Dee-1
But I would—
It's time to get these devils out the way
Heavy metals on my sword we settle hard disputes today, the ghetto Hollywood divorce
Say hello to your future fate
The culture bred with carnivores, you let 'em snack, they eat your face
The signatures is being forged
They wonder why I'm not enthused to drop
The more visible you get, the more your spiritual is tried
It's cynical to say I know these artists petrified
The end result in jail by Jezebel or drugged up full of lies
Critical, I know my physical is tested all the time
I'm pitiful, sunken place soon as I'm questionin' my pride
I'm seeing ghosts, blackin' out, relapsing one thought at the time
I spare no feelings that ain't mine
I'm in my feelings when I slide, I mean
A nigga wonder what Lecrae would do
Terrace Martin said I'm mentally with layers, true
I flood the market with my best regards, I paid your dues
And so it's up if you ain't one of ours, it's bad news
My nigga Jay Estrada said I gotta burn it down to build it up
That confirmation real as f..ck
It ain't too many real as us
Lockin' in to what I trust
Looking outside, the kids live tomorrow 'cause today the party just
Died
