Backwards Lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

It feels like I only go backwards baby 

Every part of me says "go ahead". 

I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again. 

Feels like we only go backwards darling. 

And we'll be screaming out "No Rules, No 

Rules" 

Feel the energy we go through, I told you 

Pump my fist like I'm supposed to, I showed 

you 

My vision of the unsocial, is so cool 

Look around me and just see the same, who to 

blame? 

See my generation has no shame, I play the 

game 

How I see it this is inside the future, this is 

nothing that you're used to 

I refuse to play the victim my religion is to 

move you 

Out your power position my army head on 

collision 

Cant harm me out of my own skin, government 

need assistance 

Every time that I zone in 

Nothing is more convincing than telling you that 

I won't bend 

Break or fake partition 

I can't, this is my life design 

This is me taking mines, this is what I live for 

This is me taking yours, this is more than c4 

This is what happens when we're ready to build 

and destroy 

I hope that you enjoy 

It feels like I only go backwards baby 

Every part of me says "go ahead". 

I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again. 

Feels like we only go backwards darling. 

I live my life a rebel, a vigilante, Devils try to 

get at me 

Pedal through this underworld undertakers 

won't catch me 

System make no sense don't feel justice if you 

would ask me 

I'll tell you everything is corrupted don't you 

walk passed me 

With the condescending look I can tell you're 

pretending 

Like you my friends and you just a henchman I 

feel relentless 

I feel the tension in the air thick enough to cut 

through it 

Or cut you with it I come from a glove that 

breed a nuisance 

Trespass on your property I am properly aiming 

to go and get your democracy 

This is me changing faces cuz I can stand alone 

and die alone as long as I got pride 

The victory and fight is all in my eyes 

The night is young and I can see your demise 

I'm waiting for it 

You can't ignore it you live dormant 

I die enormous 

Big as the lies you tell I can tell that you feel 

defeated 

The truth will set you free and to me that's the 

only reason 

Capisce
