#KendrickLamar Lyrics

I place blame when you still
I tend to blame you even when it's not entirely your fault.

Place shame when you steal
I feel ashamed when you act in a way that goes against my morals.

Feel like you ain't shit
I feel like you're worthless and insignificant.

Feel like you don't feel, confidence in yourself
I sense that you lack self-confidence and don't recognize your worth.

Breakin' on marble floors
I'm emotionally breaking down, probably metaphorically collapsing on the luxurious marble floors beneath me.

Watchin' anonymous strangers tellin' me that I'm yours
I'm watching people recognize and associate me with you, even though I don't feel like I want to be associated with you.

But you ain't shit I'm convinced your talent's nothin' special
I've come to the conclusion that you're not that special, talent-wise.

What can I blame him for
I'm wondering what I can accuse him of.

Nigga I can name several
I can come up with several reasons that I could blame him for various things.

Situation had stopped with your little sister bakin'
The situation could have been avoided had you taken care of your responsibilities.

A baby inside, just a teenager where's your patience
Your younger sister was pregnant while she was still a teenager, and it shows your lack of patience in the situation.

Where was your antennas
Where was your intuition during this situation?

Where was the influence you speak of
You preach about being influential, but where was it when your sister needed it?

You preached in front of 100,000 but never reached her
You gave speeches to thousands of people, but none of it reached your sister when she needed it most.

I fuckin' tell you, you fuckin' failure you ain't no leader
I'm telling you that you're a failure and are not a true leader.

I never liked you, forever despise you I don't need you
I never really liked you, and now I forever despise you. I don't need you in my life.

The world don't need you, don't let them deceive you
The world doesn't need you, don't let anyone deceive you into thinking otherwise.

Numbers lie too, fuck your pride too, that's for dedication
Statistics can be misleading, so don't let your pride interfere with your dedication to your craft.

Thought money would change you, made you more complacent
You thought that money would make you change, but instead, it made you complacent.

I fuckin' hate you, I hope you embrace it
I truly hate you, and I hope you accept it because I can't pretend otherwise anymore.

Lovin' you, lovin' you, not lovin' you, one hundred proof
My love for you is real, but sometimes I hate you with every fiber of my being.

I can feel you vibin', recognize that your ashamed of me
I can sense that you're ashamed of me, even if you don't openly express it.

Yes I hate you too
I hate you just as much as you hate me.

¡Abre la puerta! ¡Abre la puerta tengo que limpiar el cuarto!
This is a clip of a housekeeper asking someone to open the door so they can clean the room. It's unclear how it relates to the rest of the song.

Are you the reason why mama and them leavin'
Did you contribute to our mother leaving us?

No you ain't shit, you say you love them, I know you don't mean it
You are worthless, and I know that you don't actually love them.

I know you're irresponsible, selfish, in denial, can't help it
I know that you're irresponsible, selfish, in denial, and unable to change your ways.

Your trials and tribulations a burden, everyone felt it
Everyone has experienced the negative effects of your problems and issues.

Everyone heard it, multiple shots, corners cryin' out
Everyone was aware of the gunshots and the sounds of people crying on the street corners.

You was deserted, where was your antennas again?
You were abandoned, but where was your intuition?

Where was your presence, where was your support that you pretend?
You weren't around to provide support even though you pretend like you were.

You ain’t no brother, you ain’t no disciple, you ain’t no friend
You aren't a true brother, disciple, or friend to anyone.

A friend never leave Compton for profit or leave his best friend
A true friend would never leave their hometown for money or leave their best friend behind.

Little brother, you promised you’d watch him before they shot him
You promised to watch your little brother before he got shot.

Where was your antennas, on the road, bottles and bitches
You weren't using your intuition in this moment either, as you were too busy partying and indulging in alcohol and women.

You faced time the one time, that's unforgiven
You were sentenced to jail, and that's not something that can be forgiven.

You even faced time instead of a hospital visit
You chose to go to jail instead of visiting someone in the hospital.

You should thought he would recover, well
You should have thought that your brother would recover.

The surgery couldn't stop the bleeding for real
The surgery wasn't enough to stop him from bleeding out.

Then he died, God himself will say 'you fuckin' failed'
Your brother died, and even God would say that you failed him.

I know your secrets nigga
I'm aware of your deepest, darkest 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're depressed and that it's affecting you in two ways.

I know you and a couple block boys ain’t been speakin' nigga
You and a few of your old friends from the block aren't on speaking terms anymore.

Y'all damn near beefin', I seen it and your the reason nigga
You and your former friends are almost fighting, and it's your fault.

And if this bottle could talk I cry myself to sleep
If this bottle could talk, it would reveal that I cry myself to sleep.

Bitch everything is your fault
You're to blame for everything, bitch.

Faults breakin' to pieces, earthquakes on every weekend
My faults are consuming me and causing chaos in my life.

Because you shook as soon as you knew confinement was needed
You panicked and became unstable as soon as you knew you would have to face consequences for your actions.

I know your secrets
I'm aware of your secrets and your true nature.

Don't let me tell them to the world about that shit you thinkin'
Don't make me reveal your deepest thoughts to the world.

And that time you I'm bout to hurl
And just thinking about those things makes me feel disgusted and nauseous.

I'm fucked up, but I'm not as fucked up as you
I'm not in a great state of mind, but at least I'm not as fucked up as you are.

You just can't get right, I think your heart made of bullet proof
You can't seem to do anything right, and it seems like your heart is immune to emotional pain.

Shoulda killed yo ass a long time ago
I should have killed you a long time ago.

You shoulda filled that black revolver blast a long time ago
You should have taken your own life a long time ago.

And if those mirrors could talk it would say 'you gotta go'
If the mirrors could talk, they would tell you that you need to leave.

And if I told your secrets
If I were to reveal your secrets to the world.

The world'll know money can't stop a suicidal weakness
The world would learn that money can't cure the weakness and suicidal tendencies that you possess.
