Song 11

[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
Alls my life I has to fight, *****
Alls my life I...
Hard times like, "Yah!"
Bad trips like, "Yah!"
Nazareth, I'm ****ed up
Homie, you ****ed up
But if God got us, then we gon' be alright

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
*****, we gon' be alright
*****, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
*****, we gon' be alright
Huh? We gon' be alright
*****, we gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Uh, and when I wake up
I recognize you're looking at me for the pay cut
But homicide be looking at you from the face down
What MAC-11 even boom with the bass down?
Schemin', and let me tell you 'bout my life
Painkillers only put me in the twilight
Where pretty ***** and Benjamin is the highlight
Now tell my momma I love her, but this what I like, Lord knows
Twenty of 'em in my Chevy, tell 'em all to come and get me
Reaping everything I sow, so my karma come in heaven
No preliminary hearings on my record
I'm a mother****ing gangster in silence for the record, uh
Tell the world I know it's too late
Boys and girls, I think I gone cray
Drown inside my vices all day
Won't you please believe when I say

[Pre-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
Wouldn't you know
We been hurt, been down before
*****, when our pride was low
Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?"
*****, and we hate po-po
Wanna kill us dead in the street fo sho'
*****, I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin' weak, and my gun might blow
But we gon' be alright

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
*****, we gon' be alright
*****, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
*****, we gon' be alright
Huh? We gon' be alright
*****, we gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
What you want you, a house⁠? You, a car?
40 acres and a mule? A piano, a guitar?
Anything, see my name is Lucy, I'm your dog
Mother****er, you can live at the mall
I can see the evil, I can tell it, I know it's illegal
I don't think about it, I deposit every other zero
Thinking of my partner, put the candy, paint it on the Regal
Digging in my pocket, ain't a profit big enough to feed you
Every day my logic get another dollar just to keep you
In the presence of your chico... Ah!
I don't talk about it, be about it, every day I sequel
If I got it then you know you got it, Heaven, I can reach you
Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, my dog, that's all
Bick back and Chad, I trap the bag for y'all
I rap, I black on track so rest assured
My rights, my wrongs; I write 'til I'm right with God

[Pre-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
Wouldn't you know
We been hurt, been down before
*****, when our pride was low
Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?"
*****, and we hate po-po
Wanna kill us dead in the street fo sho'
*****, I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin' weak, and my gun might blow
But we gon' be alright

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
*****, we gon' be alright
*****, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
*****, we gon' be alright
Huh? We gon' be alright
*****, we gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright

[Outro: Kendrick Lamar & Thundercat]
I keep my head up high
I cross my heart and hope to die
Lovin' me is complicated
Too afraid of a lot of changes
I'm alright, and you're a favorite
Dark nights in my prayers

[Poem: Kendrick Lamar]
I remembered you was conflicted
Misusing your influence, sometimes I did the same
Abusing my power, full of resentment
Resentment that turned into a deep depression
Found myself screamin' in the hotel room
I didn't wanna self-destruct
The evils of Lucy was all around me
So I went runnin' for answers

Song 12

[Verse 1: King Princess]
Wasted on your love
Wasted on the things you don't remember about yourself
The way you turn me on
It's easy to forget all of the ways you scare me, too, yeah
You come for all my words
Lovingly examining the angles of my point of view
You hand me only parts
But I can see the facets of your love that you don't want me to

[Chorus: King Princess]
All of my love
Swing and a miss every time that we talk
And now all I got is pieces of us
Oh, how my luck goes down when we talk
And now all I got is pieces of us

[Verse 2: King Princess]
Well, I'm the second one
He was first, and now I'm here without a clue of what to do
I take it personal
Constantly comparing all my actions to the ones you knew

[Chorus: King Princess]
All of my love
Swing and a miss every time that we talk
And now all I got is pieces of us
Oh, how my luck goes down when we talk
And now all I got is pieces of us

[Post-Chorus: King Princess]
Our love, our trust
No matter which way you cut it
There's pieces of us
Our love, our trust
No matter which way you cut it
There's pieces of us

[Bridge: Ilsey & Amandla Stenberg]
Our love, our trust
No matter which way you cut it
(There's pieces of us)
Our love, our trust
No matter which way you cut it
(There's pieces of us)
Our love, our trust

[Chorus: King Princess]
All of my love
Swing and a miss every time that we talk
And now all I got is pieces of us
Oh, how my luck goes down when we talk
And now all I got is pieces of us

[Post-Chorus: King Princess]
Our love, our trust
No matter which way you cut it
There's pieces of us
Our love, our trust
No matter which way you cut it
There's pieces of us

[Verse 1]
How could we be so close but miles apart?
'Cause something tells me that's not who we are
Baby, nobody else could know my heart like you do
Oh, like you do

It could be easy just to give it up (don't give it up)
Baby, we both know that's not who we are (who we are)
So let's just fall back in, back to the start like it's new
(Oh, like it's new)

[Pre-Chorus]
All I want from you is devotion
Tired of going through these emotions
Running all the red lights just to see you tonight
Make it right

[Chorus]
Make it feel like it's the first time we fell in love
Nothing like the first time that we touched
Everything we've lost I need it the most
Baby, now's the time to pull me in close
Don't hold me like you already know me
I'm not leaving 'til I get you to show me
We could fall in love just like
Just like the first time, the first time

[Verse 2]
Got my attention, now we're eye to eye
Love and affection never wants to die
Remember how we kept this love alive
Float on a kiss, baby, straight to the sky

[Pre-Chorus]
All I want from you is devotion
Tired of going through these emotions
Running all the red lights just to see you tonight
Make it right

[Chorus]
Make it feel like it's the first time we fell in love
Nothing like the first time that we touched
Everything we've lost I need it the most
Baby, now's the time to pull me in close
Don't hold me like you already know me
I'm not leaving 'til I get you to show me
We could fall in love just like
Just like the first time, the first time

[Bridge]
All I want from you is devotion
Tired of going through these emotions
How could we be so close but miles apart?

[Chorus]
Make it feel like it's the first time we fell in love
Nothing like the first time that we touched
Everything we've lost I need it the most
Baby, now's the time to pull me in close
Don't hold me like you already know me
I'm not leaving 'til I get you to show me
We could fall in love just like
Just like the first time, the first time

Sometimes I start believing in things that aren't real
And my friend likes to deceive me in the way that I feel but

 

[Pre Chorus]
All these things don’t happen to anybody like you
These things don’t matter to anybody but

 

[Chorus]
Oh, you seemed so happy to everybody you knew
These things don’t happen to anybody like you

Sometimes I start concealing
The way that I work in my head
Can't take it anymore
I won't stop feeling the weight of my world and

[Intro: Tyler, The Creator]
Okay, okay, okay, okay
Okay, okay, oh

[Verse 1: Tyler, The Creator]
You live in my dream state
Relocate my fantasy
I stay in reality
You live in my dream state
Anytime I count sheep
That's the only time we make up, make up
You exist behind my eyelids, my eyelids
Now I don't wanna wake up

[Pre-Chorus: Tyler, The Creator]
20/20, 20/20 vision
Cupid hit me, Cupid hit me with precision, I
Wonder if you look both ways
When you cross my mind, I said, I said
I'm sick of, sick of, sick of, sick of chasing
You're the one that's always running through my day dreams, I
I can only see your face when I close my eyes

[Chorus: Kali Uchis & Tyler, The Creator]
Can I get a kiss?
And can you make it last forever?
I said I'm 'bout to go to war
And I don't know if I'ma see you again
Can I get a kiss? (Can I?)
And can you make it last forever? (Can you?)
I said I'm 'bout to go to war (I'm 'bout to)
And I don't know if I'ma see you again
(Uh, switch it up)

[Verse 2: Tyler, The Creator]
I said, okay, okay, okay, okie dokie, my infatuation
Is translatin' to another form of what you call it? (Love)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, I ain't met you
I've been looking, stop the waiting
'fore I stop the chasing, like an alcoholic
You don't understand me, what the **** do you mean?
It's them rose tinted cheeks, yeah it's them dirt-colored eyes
Sugar honey iced tea, bumblebee on the scene
Yeah I'd give up my bakery to have a piece of your pie
Yeugh!

[Pre-Chorus: Tyler, The Creator]
20/20, 20/20 vision
Cupid hit me, cupid hit me with precision, I
Wonder if you look both ways
When you cross my mind, I said, I said
I'm sick of, sick of, sick of, sick of chasing
You're the one that's always running through my day dreams, I
I can only see your face when I close my eyes
(So)

[Chorus: Kali Uchis]
Can I get a kiss? (Can I get a kiss?)
And can you make it last forever? (Make it last forever)
I said I'm 'bout to go to war ('Bout to go to war)
I don't know if I'ma see you again (See you again)
Can I get a kiss? (Can I?)
And can you make it last forever? (Can you?)
I said I'm 'bout to go to war ('Bout to)
And I don't know if I'ma see you again

[Outro: Tyler, The Creator & Kali Uchis]
Okay, okay, okay, okay
Okay, okay, okay, oh
La la, la la la la, la la
La la, la la la, la la
Okay, okay, okay, okay
Okay, okay, okay, oh
La la, la la la la, la la
La la, la la la la
One more time?

Song 16

Spoiler

[Verse 1]
Started out as a local love
Nothing really physical
I fell, nice and clean, the way you portrayed yourself to me
Through that screen, I wanted to believe everything
And then this local love went beyond the insular
You took me for an 8-year ride though you were never by my side
I always wanted to believe
Now this is what I'm questioning

[Chorus]
As if you couldn't tell, I'm mad as hell
I won't forget, so why should I forgive?
Supply me with one reason why, boy?

[Verse 2]
The war rolled on and on, I left that land my home
We watched your hair go grey, that stressful manly shade
You wore it well, no one could tell the situation was hell
But lies shone in your eyes
As you were the first in line to use those bugs up high
The coward's weapon of choice
But you got that winner's smile
And you know how to leave ‘em moist
We can never know the hands we're in, until we feel them grip
Choking off our air supply, but I don't cry
Every day I look, every day I see
That good war music still getting written for me

[Outro]
As if you couldn't tell, I'm mad as hell
I won't forget, so why should I forgive?
No, not as long as we both shall live

As if you couldn't tell, I'm mad as hell
I won't forget, so why should I forgive?
No, not as long as we both shall live
These vital lies just don't come in my size

Song 17

[Chorus]
When you walk away, you don't hear me say
"Please, oh baby, don't go."
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

[Verse 1]
You're giving me too many things lately
You're all I need, you smiled at me and said
"Don't get me wrong, I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?"
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said
"No, I don't think life is quite that simple"

[Chorus]
When you walk away, you don't hear me say
"Please, oh baby, don't go."
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

(So simple and clean)

[Verse 2]
The daily things (like this and that and what is what?)
That keep us all busy are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said
"Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?"
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple

[Chorus]
When you walk away, you don't hear me say
"Please, oh baby, don't go."
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

[Bridge]
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

[Chorus]
When you walk away, you don't hear me say
"Please, oh baby, don't go."
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

[Bridge]
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

[Intro]
A juxtapositioning fate
Find our mutual coordinates

[Verse 1]
Moments of clarity are so rare
I better document this
At last the view is fierce
All that matters is

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Who is open chested
And who has coagulated
Who can share and
Who has shut down the chances?

[Chorus 1]
Show me emotional respect, oh respect, oh respect
And I have emotional needs, oh needs, oh ooh
I wish to synchronize our feelings, our feelings, oh ooh

[Verse 2]
What is it that I have
That makes me feel your pain?
Like milking a stone
To get you to say it

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Who is open?
And who has shut up
And if one feels closed
How does one stay open?

[Chorus 2]
We have emotional needs, oh needs, oh needs, oh ooh
I wish to synchronize our feelings, our feelings, ooh
Oh, show some emotional respect, oh respect, oh ooh

[Outro]
A juxtapositioning fate
Find our mutual coordinates

[Verse 1]
Those boon times went bust
My feet of clay, they dried to dust
The red isn't the red we painted
It's just rust
And that signature thing
That used to bring a following
I have trouble now
Even remembering

[Chorus]
So why did I kiss him so hard
Late last Friday night
And keep on letting him change all my plans
I'm either so sick in the head
I need to be bled dry to quit
Or I just really used to love him
I sure hope that's it

[Verse 2]
I knew that to keep in touch
Would do me deep in dutch
Cause it isn't the rush of remembering
It's just mush
And that signature thing
Is only growing harrowing
I should have no trouble now
To keep from following

[Chorus]
So why did I kiss him so hard
Late last Friday night
And keep on letting him change all my plans
I'm either so sick in the head
I need to be bled dry to quit
Or I just really used to love him
I sure hope that's it

[Verse 1]
Those boon times went bust
My feet of clay, they dried to dust
The red isn't the red we painted
It's just rust
And that signature thing
That used to bring a following
I have trouble now
Even remembering

[Modified Chorus]
So why did I kiss him so hard
Late last Friday night
And keep on letting him change all my plans
I'm either so sick in the head
I need to be bled dry, to quit
Or I just really used to love him
Or I just really used to love him
Or I just really used to love him
I sure hope that's it

Song 20

Spoiler

[Verse 1]
I've got tired eyes, a black sky
Making its home under my lash line
You keep on crying, babe, I don't mind
I'll keep on staring at the clock tryna pass time
In my life, it flies by
Faster than you could say, "I love you, goodbye"
"It's almost over," you say with a sigh
Will our lives be better when we make it to the other side?

[Chorus]
Ah, ah
I hope we make it to the other side
Ah, ah

[Verse 2]
18, prom queen
We spend our time thinking 'bout what we'll be doing
We walk quiet streets, not afraid of the sounds
Nothing bad ever happens in this town
Mean dreams (Ah), can't sleep (Ah)
Younger me thought this'd be more bittersweet
But we never noticed (Ah) how long it'd been (Ah)
Got too caught up in the life we were living

[Chorus]
Ah, ah
I hope we make it to the other side
Ah, ah

[Bridge]
And I hope, I hope
All of our homes have white fences
And I hope, I hope
Our smiles are wider than theirs is
And I hope, I hope
All of our dreams are kept fragrant
And I'll meet you on the pavement
When we make it to the other side

[Chorus]
Ah, ah
I hope we make it to the other side
Ah, ah
