Tints
Anderson .Paak feat. Kendrick Lamar Lyrics

I been feelin' kinda cooped up, cooped up
I've been feeling trapped and confined

I'm tryna get some fresh air
I want to get out and experience new things

Hey, why you got the roof off, roof off
Why do you have the top of your car down?

You know it never rains here
It never rains in this area

And you ain't gotta flash when you takin' your picture
You don't have to show off when taking photos

You ain't gotta drown or waste your potential
You don't have to succumb to pressure and be someone you're not

Paparazzi wanna shoot ya, shoot ya
Photographers want to take your picture

Niggas dying for less here
People are getting killed for small reasons in this area

I been in my bag anyway
I've been focused and handling my business

Tryna throw a bag in the safe
Trying to protect and secure my money

Gig on tour, ensurin' my bass
Going on tour to make sure my music is heard

Wavin' my lil' ones and bathing apes
Spending time with my kids and wearing expensive shoes

Do what I gotta do bruh, do bruh
I'm doing what I need to do

Get up in my rearview mirror
Someone is following me

I can't be ridin', ridin', round that open street
I can't be driving around in public without privacy

I need tints (windows tinted) I need tints
I need my car windows tinted for privacy

(I need my windows tinted)
I need my car windows darkened for privacy

I can't be flying down that 110 with a bad bitch in my whip
I can't be driving fast down the highway with an attractive woman in my car

And it's no good for me, it's so good for them
It's not beneficial for me, but it's good for other people

I got way too much to lose, so roll your window up real quick
I have too much to lose, so please put your window up for my safety

You probably think a nigga trollin'
You might think I'm joking

Or showin' out for the cameras
Or trying to impress people watching

Fuck, I'm doin' fish-bowlin'
I'm feeling exposed like a fish in a bowl

One hunnid thou on the passenger
I have $100,000 in the passenger seat

Bitch, I'm Kendrick Lamar, respect me from afar
I'm Kendrick Lamar, please show me respect even from a distance

I was made in his image, you call me a god
I was created in God's image, some people refer to me as a god

Everybody in attendance, I'm about to perform
Everyone is here to see me perform

Everybody get offended by the shit I got on
People are easily offended by my clothing

Like, can you buy that, nigga?
Some people wonder if I can even afford my expensive clothes

Nine hunnid horse, can you drive that, nigga?
Can you handle driving a car with 900 horsepower?

A G5, can you fly that, nigga?
Can you pilot a G5 airplane?

I need tints so I can look at the snakes and posers
I need darkened windows to see people who might be fake or harmful

(I need tint) 'cause bomb is head is non-disclosure
I need darkened windows because my girlfriend has important secrets to keep

(I need tint) so I can live with a peace of mind
I need darkened windows for privacy and to feel safe

Without niggas takin' a piece of mine
Without people stealing from me

And peace be still and not do fines
I want to stay out of trouble and keep the peace

So fuck a fix it ticket, you pull me over and might see
I don't care about a minor traffic violation, but it might attract unwanted attention

One of your bitches
One of the women who work for law enforcement

Ridin', ridin', round that open street
Driving around in public without privacy

You know I like it presidential
I like things to be formal and official

Stretch it out, that's a limo
I prefer to stretch my limousine for extra space

Pull it over, let me get behind ya
Pull over so I can follow you

Where we goin' they don't need to know
It's not necessary to reveal our destination to anyone

Ghost ridin' in the Phantom
Driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom by myself

Niggas never see me comin'
People are always surprised by my success

She wanna hold me like a ransom
She wants to control me like I'm a hostage

But the money keep me runnin'
But my wealth allows me to keep moving forward

I, I think I'm 'bout to black out
I'm feeling overwhelmed and might lose consciousness

Can't see me when I act out tonight
No one can see me if I choose to misbehave

I got some moves I gotta make though
I have important decisions to make

I got the goons up on the payroll
I'm paying people to help me out

They won't see me coming
They won't be aware of my plans until it's too late

They won't see me coming no, no
They will be caught by surprise
