Do It Again
Kendrick Lamar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I tell a disc jockey "press play" while I press up on a girl
In a mist that I smoke in the air
The reflection of lights that glare
She'll be out of control like a hydroplane in plain sight I might have to stare
And that's power steering, a power trip will see my appearance
Pile of hundreds all on a prowl like vampires in the darkest dungeon
Speakers bumpin', drinks is pouring
That's real big, pop my color, pop that lid
Flashin' lights, model types, vixen show me much love
Put the bottles on that ice, drink like we supposed to
Fire burning, heads is turning, all I see is energy
So eventually we'll do this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
We'll do this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
Smoke like this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
We'll do this 'til the moon is dropping day break watching
Then do it again
Some people stay home and sleep, me I go out at night
All seven days of the week, I live the party life
I got my dogs with me, you can bring some of your friends
We going hard 'til the sun come up and do it again
I got a drink in my hand they playing my favourite song
This girl that's dancing on me ain't' got no panties on
And she gonna come back to my hotel, don't tell
Anyone about us, I'm here to party all night
Flashin' lights, model types, vixen show me much love
Put the bottles on that ice, drink like we supposed to
Fire burning, heads is turning, all I see is energy
So eventually we'll do this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
We'll do this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
Smoke like this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
We'll do this 'til the moon is dropping day break watching
Then do it again
Come to my section (my section)
And down some of this liquor
Then tell me what it hit for
Gon be some things I don't remember
So take some camera phone pictures
Come to my section (my section)
And down some of this liquor
Then tell me what it hit for
Gon be some things I don't remember
So take some camera phone pictures
Flashin' lights, model types, vixen show me much love
Put the bottles on that ice, drink like we supposed to
Fire burning, heads is turning, all I see is energy
So eventually we'll do this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
We'll do this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
Smoke like this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
We'll do this 'til the moon is dropping day break watching
Then do it again

Line by Line Meaning
Every day I try to escape the realities of this world
I try to avoid facing the harsh realities of life every day
So, I tell a disc jockey "press play" while I press up on a girl
I ask the DJ to play music while I flirt with a girl
In a mist that I smoke in the air
I smoke weed in the air
The reflection of lights that glare
The lights reflecting on the girl make her look attractive
She'll be out of control like a hydroplane in plain sight I might have to stare
She'll be dancing wildly and I might have to watch her
And that's power steering, a power trip will see my appearance
I have control over the situation and I look confident
Pile of hundreds all on a prowl like vampires in the darkest dungeon
I have a lot of cash and I'm spending it like vampires in a hidden place
Speakers bumpin', drinks is pouring
The music is loud and the drinks are flowing
We in the house, we paid the mortgage, tyrannosaurus
We own the place and we're partying like kings
That's real big, pop my color, pop that lid
It's a big deal, I'm wearing expensive clothes and popping champagne
Smoke like this 'til the sun come up (the sun)
We're going to smoke weed until the sun comes up
Some people stay home and sleep, me I go out at night
Some people prefer to stay home, but I like to party at night
All seven days of the week, I live the party life
I party every day of the week
I got my dogs with me, you can bring some of your friends
My friends are with me and you can bring your friends along
This girl that's dancing on me ain't' got no panties on
The girl dancing on me is not wearing any underwear
And she gonna come back to my hotel, don't tell
I'm going to take her to my hotel and keep it a secret
Come to my section (my section)
Come to my area of the party
And down some of this liquor
Drink some of this alcohol
Then tell me what it hit for
Let me know what you think of the drink
Gon be some things I don't remember
I might forget some things that happen
So take some camera phone pictures
Take some photos with your phone to remember the night

@espantapajaross
Todos los días trato de escapar de las realidades de este mundo
Entonces le digo a un disc jockey "presiona play" mientras presiono a una chica
En una bruma que fumo en el aire
El reflejo de las luces que brillan
Ella estará fuera de control como un hidroavión a plena vista, podría tener que mirar
Y esa es la dirección asistida, un viaje de poder verá mi apariencia
Montón de cientos, todos al acecho como vampiros en la mazmorra más oscura
Altavoces chocando, las bebidas se derraman
Nosotros en la casa pagamos la hipoteca, tiranosaurio
Eso es muy grande, abre mi color, abre esa tapa
Luces intermitentes, tipos de modelos, vixen muéstrame mucho amor
Pon las botellas en ese hielo, bebe como se supone que debemos
Fuego ardiendo, los oídos giran, todo lo que veo es energía
Así que eventualmente haremos esto hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Haremos esto hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Fuma así hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Haremos esto hasta que la luna se caiga viendo el amanecer
Entonces hazlo de nuevo
Algunas personas se quedan en casa y duermen, yo salgo de noche
Los siete días de la semana, vivo la vida de fiesta
Tengo a mis perros conmigo, puedes traer a algunos de tus amigos
Vamos duro hasta que salga el sol y lo haremos de nuevo
Tengo un trago en mi mano, están tocando mi canción favorita
Esta chica que está bailando sobre mí no tiene bragas
Y ella volverá a mi hotel, no lo digas
Cualquiera de nosotros, estoy aquí de fiesta toda la noche
Luces intermitentes, tipos de modelos, vixen muéstrame mucho amor
Pon las botellas en ese hielo, bebe como se supone que debemos
Fuego ardiendo, los oídos giran, todo lo que veo es energía
Así que eventualmente haremos esto hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Haremos esto hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Fuma así hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Haremos esto hasta que la luna se caiga viendo el amanecer
Entonces hazlo de nuevo
Ven a mi sección (mi sección)
Y un poco de este licor
Entonces dime por qué golpeó
Serán algunas cosas que no recuerdo
Así que toma algunas fotos con la cámara del teléfono
Ven a mi sección (mi sección)
Y un poco de este licor
Entonces dime por qué golpeó
Serán algunas cosas que no recuerdo
Así que toma algunas fotos con la cámara del teléfono
Luces intermitentes, tipos de modelos, vixen muéstrame mucho amor
Pon las botellas en ese hielo, bebe como se supone que debemos
Fuego ardiendo, los oídos giran, todo lo que veo es energía
Así que eventualmente haremos esto hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Haremos esto hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Fuma así hasta que salga el sol (el sol)
Haremos esto hasta que la luna se caiga viendo el amanecer
Entonces hazlo de nuevo
