Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" (edited for radio as "Trick, Don't Kill My Vibe"… Read Full Bio ↴Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" (edited for radio as "Trick, Don't Kill My Vibe" or simply "Don't Kill My Vibe"), is a song by American hip hop recording artist Kendrick Lamar, from his major-label debut studio album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (2012). The song, produced by frequent collaborator Sounwave of Top Dawg Entertainment in-house production team Digi+Phonics, heavily samples "Tiden Flyver", by Danish electronic group Boom Clap Bachelors. It was originally intended to be a collaboration with American singer Lady Gaga, but her contributions were ultimately excluded from the final recording due to timing issues. A remix of "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" featuring American rapper Jay-Z was released as the album's fifth single on March 19, 2013, with the original version and another remix featuring British recording artist Emeli Sandé later being released.

The song's music video, directed by The Lil Homie and OG Mike Mihail, notably ends with an abrupt cut to a black title screen reading "Death to Molly", intended to be a criticism by Lamar of glorification of the drug MDMA in contemporary hip hop music. "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" peaked at number 28 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart, also reaching the top ten on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts.

Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe
Kendrick Lamar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am a sinner
Who's probably gonna sin again
Lord forgive me
Lord forgive me
Things I don't understand
Sometimes I need to be alone
Bitch don't kill my vibe
Bitch don't kill my vibe

I can feel your energy from two planets away
I got my drink I got my music I would share it but today I'm yelling

Bitch don't kill my vibe
Bitch don't kill my vibe
Bitch don't kill my vibe
Bitch don't kill my vibe

Look inside of my soul and you can find gold and maybe get rich
Look inside of your soul and you can find out it never exist
I can feel the changes
I can feel a new life
I always knew life can be dangerous
I can say that I like a challenge and you tell me it's painless
You don't know what pain is
How can I paint this picture
When the color blind is hanging with ya?
Fell on my face and I woke with a scar
Another mistake living deep in my heart
Wear it on top of my sleeve in a flick
I can admit that it did look like yours
Why you resent every making of this?
Tell me your purpose is petty again
But even a small lighter can burn a bridge
Even a small lighter can burn a bridge

I can feel the changes
I can feel the new people 'round me just want to be famous
You can see that my city found me put me on stages
To me that's amazing
To you that's a quick check, with all disrespect let me say this

I am a sinner
Who's probably gonna sin again
Lord forgive me
Lord forgive me
Things I don't understand
Sometimes I need to be alone
Bitch don't kill my vibe
Bitch don't kill my vibe
I can feel your energy from two planets away
I got my drink I got my music I would share it but today I'm yelling

Bitch don't kill my vibe
Bitch don't kill my vibe
Bitch don't kill my vibe
Bitch don't kill my vibe

I'm trying to keep it alive and not compromise the feeling we love
You trying to keep it deprived and only co-sign what radio does
And I'm looking right past ya
We live in a world, we live in a world on two different axles
You live in a world, you living behind the mirror
I know what you scared of, the feeling of feeling emotions inferior
This shit is vital, I know you had to
This shit is vital, I know you had to
Die in a pitiful vain, tell me a watch and a chain
Is way more believable, give me a feasible gain
Rather a seasonal name, I'll let the people know this is something you can blame
On yourselves you can remain, stuck in a box
I'ma break out and then hide every lock
I'ma break out and then hide every lock

I can feel the changes
I can feel the new people around me just want to be famous
You can see that my city found me put me on stages
To me that's amazing
To you that's a quick check, with all disrespect let me say this

I am a sinner
Who's probably gonna sin again
Lord forgive me
Lord forgive me
Things I don't understand
Sometimes I need to be alone
Bitch don't kill my vibe
Bitch don't kill my vibe
I can feel your energy from two planets away

Bitch don't kill my vibe

You ain't heard the coast like this in a long time
Don't you see that long line?
And they waiting on Kendrick like the first and the fifteenth
3's in the air I can see you are in sync
Hide your feelings, hide your feelings now what you better do
I'll take your girlfriend and put that pussy on a pedestal
Bitch don't kill my vibe
Bitch don't kill my vibe
Walk out the door and they scream it's alive
My new year's resolution is to stop all the pollution
Talk too motherfucking much, I got my drink I got my music

I say bitch don't kill my vibe
Bitch don't kill my vibe
Bitch don't kill my vibe
Bitch don't kill my vibe

K-Dot, get in the car, nigga!
Come on, we finna roll out!
Nigga, I got a pack of blacks and a beat CD

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Kendrick Lamar's "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe" are reflective of the rapper's personal struggles with fame. Lamar acknowledges his own sins and need for forgiveness but also reminds listeners not to kill his vibe, or the positive energy and creativity that he possesses. He emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself and not allowing others, specifically those with the desire for fame and money, to compromise individuality and artistic expression. Lamar also touches on societal themes of inequality, as he recognizes the differing life experiences between himself and those who live behind a metaphorical mirror.

The repeated line "Bitch don't kill my vibe" functions as an anthem for self-preservation and staying true to oneself in the midst of societal pressures. Lamar acknowledges the changes that come with success, including new people who only want fame, and maintains his desire to continue creating music from the soul. He acknowledges his connection to his city and the stages that put him there, while also recognizing the easy path of seeking only quick checks and fame.

The song's lyrics serve as a representation of Lamar's personal struggles with fame, and the tension between individual expression and societal pressures. He encourages listeners to stay true to themselves and their personal values, rather than allowing others to dictate their path.

Sometimes I need to be alone
I need time to myself

Bitch don't kill my vibe
Don't bring me down with your negativity

I can feel your energy from two planets away
Your energy affects me, even from far away

I got my drink I got my music I would share it but today I'm yelling
I usually like to share my good mood, but today I need to vent

You don't know what pain is

How can I express this idea to you

When the color blind is hanging with ya?
When someone is unable to understand you

Fell on my face and I woke with a scar
I failed and it left a mark on me

Another mistake living deep in my heart
I've made other blunders that still weigh on me

Wear it on top of my sleeve in a flick
I'm open about my flaws

I can admit that it did look like yours
I can see how my mistake resembled yours

Why you resent every making of this?
Why do you dislike everything about this situation?

Tell me your purpose is petty again

You can see that my city found me put me on stages
My hometown has embraced me and given me opportunities to perform

I want to change the negative aspects of my lifestyle

I know this sounds dumb, but I’m having it rough lately, tried to take my life yesterday, but had second thoughts halfway through, tried to seek help but got turned away from a place to stay where I’d get help, feels like I’m alone, but I think it’s time I live the other way now, happy, I wanna be something someday, and I’ll comeback here when I do, thanks Kendrick

Update 1: I’ve got a job interview! After leaving my previous workplace

Update 2 applied elsewhere, the shifts that were open were few and far between, had another incident recently but out of concrete eventually grows a rose 🌹 stay strong people

Update 3: got employed again, things are looking bright, you can bounce back from darkness This is proof of that, love y’all stay safe

Update 4: been working steady, lifes rough but after all the support, i know ill make it, thank you for the love

Update 5: I’ve stumbled a lot, but damn am I happy now, been going to the gym steady and consistent for over a month now, finally getting myself in check and I’m feeling brand new, all of you deserve the best life possible and you should fight for it, if you get knocked down, stand tf back up, to all the beautiful souls out there who replied or didn’t, may you all have a blessed life, it’s the end of may 2022 and I don’t plan on quitting the gym anytime soon, been noticing changes and the fact that my mental has improved, much love to you all, thanks for everything 🙏 Love you Kendrick, forever, Bitch, don’t kill my vibe…

Update 6: Might be the finale, life has been one hell of an adventure, I’m 18 now, it’s been roughly 2 years since I tried to take my life, tried to again 1 year ago, it’s now October 2022, and life has blessed me, I woke up one day, the day I made this comment and wanted to change, change isn’t overnight, change is a healing process that takes time and energy, I’m glad I dedicated myself the way I have now however, I now have my own apartment, been going to the gym ever since I made update 5, lost 40 lbs currently and am in the best mental and physical condition of my life, I love you all, may god be on your side ❤️, thank you Kendrick for your beautiful music, and thank you god for giving me the opportunity to change my life 💯

I've listened to this song many different times but recently I listened to it while on the school bus to a game. It was one of the best feelings in my life, the relaxing feel, the sun coming from the windows and flashing into the bus, and just the way it felt like everything around me just melted into an enjoyable feel, people's voices disappeared and bad thoughts went away. It felt like I was in my own zone, where no one could disturb me. It makes me wish I could stay on that same bus forever, in that same zone, smiling as the bus went wherever it decided to go.

the first time i listened to this song was after i broke up with my abusive girlfriend, who also happened to be my first girlfriend. it popped up in my recommended since i was listening to Alright, and it autoplayed and everything just hit me. before it started playing i was having a hard time letting out my emotions, and once the chorus started i just started bawling. it helped. after that it became one of my go to songs. the next time i used it for comfort was after i had experienced a lot more life, and made some mistakes of my own. the chorus had a different meaning for me. the more i listen to this song the more i relate, the more i can draw out of it. right now i’m going through a difficult time in my life again, and here i am again. i’m grateful i have a song i can call upon for comfort, and i’m grateful to be able to share it with all of you

All I could do was take gen eds and blast this album along with Nas and Kanye's stuff I normally bumped and try to get good grades. That year I got a 3.75 my first semester.

August 2015. I first started listening to Kendrick that summer before my freshman year of high school, and these songs sounded like freshman year, especially those first few weeks and months, all those firsts, making friends, some that them are still with me, some that aren’t, trying to fit in and survive, going through turmoil and challenges, and still enjoy in every moment of that discovery phase. All those feelings and memories, small details like how the 100 degree August / September Texas heat blazed every time we walked outside, bigger details like the day I met my teenage best friend and first girl I ever fell in love with. And this album was a major part of the soundtrack to genuinely what was my youth.
