squabble up
Kendrick Lamar Lyrics

God knows
Only a higher power understands my true essence and struggles.

I am
I exist as a complex individual with a multifaceted identity.

Reincarnated, I was stargazin'
I've undergone personal transformations, while dreaming of greater things.

Life goes on, I need all my babies (gyah, gyah)
As time progresses, I need to ensure I've taken care of my loved ones.

Woke up lookin' for the broccoli
I arose seeking financial gain or success, symbolized by 'broccoli' (money).

High-key, keep a horn on me, that Kamasi
I'm openly prepared for challenges, likening my readiness to the boldness of Kamasi Washington.

IP, ownership, the blueprint is by me
I focus on intellectual property and self-made success; I'm the architect of my achievements.

Mr. Get Off, I get off at my feet
I'm the one who rises above adversity; I stand strong on my own.

(When I hear music, it makes me dance)
The power of music uplifts me and inspires me to express joy and freedom.

(You got the music, now is your chance)
With opportunities presented, it’s time to make the most of them.

A yee nigga couldn't try me in the tri-state
No one from my region would dare to challenge me.

Buddy pass, bet I get him splashed 'til he hydrated
I can elevate friends to new heights, ensuring they thrive.

Bounce out, know he spook town, eyes dilated
Engaging with the environment, I sense the tension, for others are on edge.

I got the money and the power both gyratin'
I possess both wealth and influence, and I'm in a constant state of movement and progression.

I feel good, get the fuck out my face
I'm in a positive space; negativity or interruption is unwelcome.

Look good, but she don't got no taste
She may have a pleasing appearance, but her choices lack substance or discernment.

I walk in, walked out with the safe
I've entered a situation and successfully secured valuable resources.

Mando, let me know what the play
I need clarity on the next steps or strategies to pursue.

What the fuck? I got hits, I got bucks, I got new paper cuts
In disbelief, I acknowledge my success through numerous hits and profits, along with fresh challenges.

I got friends, I got foes, but they all sitting ducks
I have allies and adversaries, yet they’re all vulnerable and unable to take action.

Hit his turf and get crackin', double back like a deluxe
I approach challenges head-on and return stronger, like an upgraded version.

Fifty deep, but it ain't deep enough
Even with many supporters, it feels insufficient for the challenges I face.

Fuck a plea, there he go, beat him up
I reject any notion of backing down; I'm ready to confront opposition directly.

Fallin' from my money tree and it grow throughout the months
My wealth is consistently increasing, a product of continuous effort.

Spit a loogie at the camera, speed off, yeah, it's us
I’m unapologetically confident and rebellious, leaving a bold impression.

I feel good, get the fuck out my face
I'm currently in a good mental space; I wish to reject distractions.

Look good, but she don't got no taste
Her appearance may catch the eye, yet her choices lack depth.

I walk in, walked out with the safe
Entering a situation confidently, I emerge having secured my interests.

Mando, let me know what the play
Please inform me of the strategy or next course of action.

Squabble up, squabble up
Let’s engage in conflict or competition, rallying together.

Squabble up, squabble up
Reiterating the call to unite and prepare for challenges.

Squabble up (mh-mh), squabble up (mh-mh)
Encouraging camaraderie in the face of adversity with an upbeat tone.

Squabble up (mh-mh), squabble up
Emphasizing action and the pursuit of collective strength against difficulties.

Hol' up (hol' up), where you from? (Where you from?)
I'm inquiring about someone's background or origin to gauge their identity.

Bye, bitch (bye, bitch), I'm finna go dumb (finna go dumb)
I’m dismissing negativity and preparing to express myself boldly.

Sideways (sideways), bunk skunk (bunk skunk)
I’m taking an unconventional approach, rejecting conformist expectations.

Fever (fever), I'm on one (I'm on one)
I’m in a heightened state of excitement or intensity, fully immersed.

Thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, baby rockin' it
The bass reverberates, setting a rhythmic backdrop that energizes the moment.

Quid pro quo, what you want? 'Cause I'm watchin' it
It's a give-and-take situation; I’m perceptive and aware of exchanges.

Work on the floor, let me know if you clockin' it
I'm attentive to the actions occurring; I need confirmation of awareness.

Brodie won't go, but I know that he poppin' it
My friend may be hesitant, but I recognize their potential or talent.

It was woof tickets on sale 'til I silenced it
There was empty talk happening until I intervened for resolution.

Pipe down, young, these some whole other politics
Be quiet, the situation at hand involves complex dynamics requiring caution.

Bitch with him and some bitch in him, that's a lot of bitch
There are conflicting personas at play, suggesting emotional turmoil and complexity.

Don't hit him, he got kids with him, my apologies
I'm refraining from violence because he has responsibilities that need consideration.

Ghetto child, it was Black & Milds with the Smirnoff
Reflecting on a background where simple pleasures stem from modest beginnings.

Yeehaw, we outside, whoadie 'bout to kill him off
Celebrating the moment, while hinting at impending confrontation or action.

Blaps on blaps, it's a fact, this a brick of raw
Emphasizing undeniable skill or success, asserting my authenticity in the game.

Tell me why the fuck you niggas rap if it's fictional?
Questioning the authenticity and credibility of others' artistic expression.

Tell me why the fuck you niggas fed if you criminal?
Challenging the integrity of those who claim struggles yet live comfortably.

"Ayy, Dot, can I get a drop?" I'm like, "Nigga, nah"
I trust my instincts and am selective about who I help or share with.

Ace boon coon from the Westside to Senegal
I'm loyal to my roots, acknowledging connections from my local scene to international.

It's a full moon, let the (ah) wolves out, I been a dog
With the emergence of night, I'm embracing my feral, untamed nature.

I feel good, get the fuck out my face
I'm in a positive state; I wish to dismiss any negativity or distractions.

Look good, but she don't got no taste
She may appear attractive, but her decisions display a lack of discernment.

I walked in, walked out with the safe
I confidently entered, leaving with secured resources through skill.

Mando, let me know what the play
Clarify the next steps or plans I should follow.

Squabble up, squabble up
A call to action, encouraging unity for inevitable challenges.

Squabble up, squabble up
Repeatedly urging everyone to prepare for confrontation together.

Squabble up (mh-mh), squabble up (mh-mh)
Encouraging collective engagement in facing obstacles, seasoned with a rhythmic vibe.

Squabble up (mh-mh), squabble up
Reiterating the spirit of readiness and camaraderie in the face of trials.
