Blue Faces Lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

[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 

Photos 

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 shit, 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 fuck 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 sex 

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 killed 

Play with me and he will kill 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
