Kendrick Lamar Lyrics

Loving you is complicated, loving you is complicated
The relationship I have with you is not simple and is filled with many ups and downs.

I place blame on you still, place shame on you still
I continue to attribute blame or fault to you and consider you to be shameful.

Feel like you ain't shit, feel like you don't feel
I feel like you are unimportant and that you do not experience any emotions.

Confidence in yourself, breakin' on marble floors
You have a lack of self-confidence and your confidence is metaphorically breaking apart.

Watchin' anonymous strangers, tellin' me that I'm yours
Observing random people who claim that you belong to me.

But you ain't shit, I'm convinced your tolerance nothin' special
You are not important and I am sure that your capacity to accept things is not anything extraordinary.

What can I blame you for? Nigga, I can name several
I can list many things for which I can hold you responsible.

Situations, I'll start with your little sister bakin'
I will begin with the scenario of your younger sister becoming pregnant.

A baby inside, just a teenager, where your patience?
Your younger sister was a teenager and she was pregnant with a baby. Why did you not show patience in this situation?

Where was your antennas? Where was the influence you speak of?
Where was your ability to perceive issues and where was the impact that you claim to have on others?

You preached in front of 100,000 but never reached her
You spoke to 100,000 people but could not reach out to your sister when she was in need.

I fuckin' tell you, you fuckin' failure—you ain't no leader!
I tell you that you are a failure and you are not a leader.

I never liked you, forever despise you—I don't need you!
I never have and never will like you and I always have and will detest you. I do not need you.

The world don't need you, don't let them deceive you
The world does not need you, do not let anyone trick you otherwise.

Numbers lie too, fuck your pride too, that's for dedication
Numbers can be manipulated and do not always tell the truth. Stop having pride and focus on dedication.

Thought money would change you
I assumed that obtaining wealth would change you.

Made you more complacent
Instead, wealth made you more content.

Fuckin' hate you, I hope you embrace it
I hate you deeply and I want you to accept this fact.

Loving you, lovin' you, not lovin' you, 100 proof
Whether I love you or not is indisputable.

(I can feel your vibe and recognize that you're ashamed of me
I possess the ability to sense your mood and understand that you feel embarrassed because of me.

(Yes, I hate you, too)
Yes, I do hate you as well.

Housekeeping, housekeeping (what I got to do to get to you?)
This line may be interpreted differently depending on the listener's own perceptions and experiences.

¡Abre la puerta! ¡Abre la puerta tengo que limpiar el cuarto! (To you)
This line is in Spanish and can be translated to 'Open the door! Open the door, I have to clean the room!' It can be interpreted as a dialogue between the singer and someone inside the room.

You the reason why mama and them leavin'
You are the reason why our mother and others are leaving us.

No, you ain't shit, you say you love them, I know you don't mean it
You are not important and, although you claim to love them, I know that your feelings are not genuine.

I know you're irresponsible, selfish, in denial, can't help it
You are irresponsible, selfish, in denial and cannot control these characteristics.

Your trials and tribulations a burden, everyone felt it
Your difficulties and struggles have been a burden for everyone who knows you.

Everyone heard it, multiple shots, corners cryin' out
People are aware of a violent incident that happened.

You was deserted, where was your antennas again?
You were left alone, where was your ability to perceive an issue in that situation?

Where was your presence? Where was your support that you pretend?
Why were you not present or supportive in a situation that you pretend to care about?

You ain’t no brother, you ain’t no disciple, you ain’t no friend
You are not a brother, you are not a disciple and you are not a friend.

A friend never leave Compton for profit
A true friend would not leave Compton for profit.

Or leave his best friend, little brother
A true friend would not abandon his best friend and younger brother.

You promised you’d watch him before they shot him
You promised to take care of him before he was shot.

Where was your antennas?
Where was your ability to perceive an issue in that situation?

On the road, bottles and bitches
You were on the road, drinking and with women.

You FaceTimed him one time, that's unforgiven
You only video called him once, which is an unforgivable act.

You even FaceTimed instead of a hospital visit
You decided to video call him instead of visiting him at the hospital.

Guess you thought he would recover well
You probably assumed that he would recover without any issues.

Third surgery, they couldn't stop the bleeding for real
He was undergoing his third surgery but the doctors were unable to stop the bleeding.

Then he died, God himself will say, 'You fuckin' failed'
He eventually died and even God would agree that you failed.

I know your secrets, nigga
I am aware of your secrets.

Mood swings is frequent, nigga
You experience frequent mood swings.

I know depression is restin' on your heart for two reasons, nigga
I know that you are suffering from depression, and there are two reasons for it.

I know you and a couple block boys ain't been speakin', nigga
I know that you and some people from the same block have not been on good terms.

Y'all damn near beefin', I see it and you're the reason, nigga
You all are almost in a quarrel and it is due to you.

And if this bottle could talk
If this bottle had the ability to talk...

I cry myself to sleep
I cry myself to sleep because of the issues that I am facing.

Bitch, everything is your fault
Damn it, everything is your fault!

Faults breakin' to pieces, earthquakes on every weekend
Mistakes are breaking everything apart, and it feels like there is an earthquake every weekend.

Because you shook as soon as you knew confinement was needed
Your response was not appropriate when you realized that you needed to be contained.

Don't let me tell them to the world about that shit you thinkin'
I will reveal to the world the thoughts that you have in your head.

And that time you
And that one time...

I'm 'bout to hurl
I am about to throw up.

I'm fucked up, but I ain't as fucked up as you
I am messed up, but I am not as messed up as you are.

You just can't get right, I think your heart made of bullet proof
You cannot change yourself, and I believe that your heart is made up of something impervious to change.

Should've killed yo' ass a long time ago
I should have killed you a long time ago.

You should've felt that black revolver blast a long time ago
You should have experienced the impact of a black revolver a long time ago.

And if those mirrors could talk it'd say, 'You gotta go'
If those mirrors could speak, they would tell you that you have to leave.

And if I told your secrets
If I revealed your secrets...

The world'll know money can't stop a suicidal weakness
The world would realize that money cannot prevent suicidal tendencies.
