For Sale?
#KendrickLamar Lyrics

Whats wrong nigga?
Why do you seem off? What's bothering you?

I thought you was keeping it gangsta?
I thought you were tough and true to yourself.

I thought this what you wanted?
I thought this is what you desired and pursued.

They say if you scared go to church
People often advise going to church when feeling fearful or troubled.

But remember
However, keep in mind

He knows the bible too
Even the devil knows and can twist scripture to deceive.

My baby when I get you get you get you get you
My love, when I have you, I'll have you deeply and passionately.

I'ma go head to ride with you
I'll gladly ride with you.

Smoking lokin' poking the deja till I'm idle with you
I'll smoke and chill with you until we're completely relaxed.

Cause I (want you)
Because I desire you so much.

Now baby when I'm riding here I'm riding dirty
When I'm driving, I'm doing so illegally.

Registration is out of service
My car registration is expired or invalid.

Smoking lokin' drinking the potion you can see me swerving
I'm smoking and drinking while driving and it's affecting my ability to control the vehicle.

I want you more than you know
I desire you more than you realize.

I remember you took me to the mall last week baby
I recall when you took me shopping recently.

You looked me in my eyes about 4 5 times
You gazed into my eyes several times.

Till I was hypnotized then you clarified
Until I was deeply entranced, then you explained something to me.

That I (want you)
That I deeply desire you.

You said Sherane ain't got nothing on Lucy
You claimed that Sherane wasn't as important as Lucy in your life.

I said you crazy
I thought you were acting irrational or delusional.

Roses are red violets are blue but me and you both pushing up daisies if I (want you)
The artist is saying that if their obsession with someone goes too far, they could end up dead.

You said to me
You spoke to me.

You said your name was Lucy
You introduced yourself as Lucy.

I said where's Ricardo?
I asked where Ricardo was, thinking it was a reference to the TV show 'I Love Lucy'.

You said oh no, not the show
You responded that you weren't referring to the TV show 'I Love Lucy'.

Than you spit a little rap to me like this
Then you recited a short rap to me, like this:

When I turned 26 I was like oh shit
When I turned 26, I realized how important and powerful I was.

My name is Lucy, Kendrick
I'm Lucy, and I'm speaking to Kendrick.

Usually I don’t do this
Typically, I don't offer deals like this.

But I see you and me Kendrick
I think we could have a successful partnership, Kendrick.

Lucy give you no worries
If you work with me, you won't have to worry about anything.

Lucy got million stories
I have many interesting stories and experiences.

About these rappers I came after when they was boring
I have stories about rappers I pursued, who were uneventful or lackluster in comparison to Kendrick.

Lucy gone fill your pockets
I'll help you make a lot of money, Kendrick.

Lucy gone move your mama out of Compton
I'll help you take care of your mother by moving her out of Compton.

Inside the gi-gantic mansion like I promised
Living in a huge mansion, as I previously guaranteed.

Lucy just want your trust and loyalty
All I want is for you to trust me and be loyal to me.

Avoiding me?
Trying to evade me?

It's not so easy I'm at these functions accordingly
It's not simple to avoid me when I'm at big events or parties.

Kendrick, Lucy don't slack a minute
Kendrick, I'm always working hard and don't waste a second.

Lucy work harder
I work harder and smarter than anyone else.

Lucy gone call you even when Lucy know you love your Father
I'll call you all the time, even when I know you're spending time with your father.

I'm Lucy
I am Lucy.

I loosely heard prayers on your first album truly
I heard religious references on Kendrick's first album.

Lucy don't mind cause at the end of the day you'll pursue me
I don't mind if Kendrick mentions religion in his music, because ultimately he will still be drawn to me.

Lucy go get it, Lucy not timid, Lucy up front
I'm not afraid to go after what I want, and I'm direct.

Lucy got paper work on top of paper work
I have a lot of legal documents and paperwork that prove my success and worth.

I want you to know that Lucy got you
I want you to understand that I am capable of taking care of you.

All your life I watched you
I've been watching you your whole life.

And now you all grown up then sign this contract if that’s possible
You're an adult now, so sign this contract with me if you can.

I remembered you was conflicted
I recalled that you were struggling internally.

Misusing your influence, sometimes I did the same
You were abusing your power and influence, and I've done the same in the past.

Abusing my power full of resentment
I was using my power inappropriately and full of anger and bitterness.

Resentment that turned into a deep depression
That resentment developed into a severe and long-lasting depression.

Found myself screamin' in the hotel room
I found myself yelling alone in a hotel room.

I didn't wanna self destruct
I didn't want to destroy myself and my career.

The evils of Lucy was all around me
The dangers and temptations of working with Lucy were everywhere and hard to avoid.

So I went runnin' for answers
So I looked for solutions and help elsewhere.

Until I came home
Until I found my way back home and to myself.
