Sex With Society
Kendrick Lamar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Should be played at high volume
Preferably in a residential
Life’s a bitch, life’s a bitch
But I’mma keep the pussy wet (Yep)
I’mma keep the pussy wet (Yep)
I’mma keep the pussy wet (Yep)
My dick hard, her pussy wet
And I’m born with my dick in the earth
You can tell me how much am I worth
I’mma die with my heart on my sleeve
Many die on their hands and their knees
And I’m takin’ whatever I need
And I’m raping the government fees
And you’re wasting your time
And I’m speaking my mind on whatever I think
And I think that I’m Richard Pryor
With priors of 32 fiends
And that means that I hear for higher
Tell me why are you starin’ at me?
Matta fact, man, your eyes is wired
You inspired by Kendrick the king
Maybe it’s ’cause I’m living my dream
Man, I sing what I’m living about
And the words that come out of my mouth
They requires a random routine
Of being organic granite
Then my access is granted
To represent the shit that I conceive
And I guarantee that I’mma bring
My mind, body, soul
And I sold all these records off bein’ myself
And I wish you can do the same thing, man
It’s easier than a stripper
Or tyin’ a baby shoestring
You stringing along
And really why you writing a song?
Your passion for music is never in sync
No secret societies guided me to
The world of unseen
And they tell me life is a bitch
Who gives a shit? You'll get relief
I’mma keep the pussy wet (Yep)
I’mma keep the pussy wet (Yep)
My dick hard, her pussy wet
I'mma keep the pussy wet (Yep)
(Hi, ho) I came (Bye, ho) I went
(Hi, ho) I came (Bye, ho) I went
(Hi, ho) I came (Bye, ho) I went
(Bitch-bitch-bitch-bitch-bitch-bitch-bitch-bitch-bitch, bitch
Bitch, bitch)
And I see that you envy of me
Enemigos don’t prosper
Better yet, they do die eventually
If I’m at the event you will leave
‘Cause you know and I know that
I go ham even if Muslims is seen
In my rearview I’m near you
But I don’t hear you
Can you at least breathe?
With an oxygen mask, and
The masses keep saying I’m speaking for them
And if you can imagine my madness
Then you can see where I’ve been
And the places the Louis has been
And I swear I been doing this when
You was in pajamas
Watching B-Barney and Friends
And you couldn’t harm me even with ten
Weapons of your choice riding in
Army tanks, you shot blanks
And I shot back, make your duplex bend
What the fuck you think? If I don’t think
Then I’m right back where the city sin
What the fuck you drink?
Thinking I can’t write these raps
In the Lions’ Den
When I hear that you lyin’, then?
It’s murder she wrote, ain’t no hope
You go downhill, man, where’s your slope?
Get thrown downhill tied to a rope
Tell the world to put intervals
Man, I swear this the anecdote
And they tell me that life is a bitch
Who gives a shit when you know?
And I see that you envy of me
Don’t prosper, better yet
They do die eventually
Cause you know and I know that I
Go ham even if Muslims is seen
In my rearview I’m near you
But I don't hear you
Can you at least breathe?
(Hi, ho, Bye, ho)
The lyrics to Kendrick Lamar's song "Sex With Society" can be interpreted as a commentary on the contradictions and challenges of life. The repeated phrase "life's a bitch" suggests a recognition of life's difficulties, but Kendrick asserts that he will persevere and keep pushing forward despite these challenges. The line "I'mma keep the pussy wet" can be seen as a metaphor for maintaining a sense of vitality and energy in the face of adversity.
Kendrick also references his own authenticity and individuality as an artist. He talks about being true to himself, speaking his mind, and living his dream. He uses the metaphor of being Richard Pryor, a legendary comedian known for his unfiltered and honest approach to comedy, to imply that he is unafraid to confront and address societal issues.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of envy and resistance. Kendrick acknowledges that there are those who may envy his success and try to bring him down, but he asserts that he will continue to thrive and overcome any obstacles. He challenges his critics, suggesting that they are not on his level and that their attempts to harm him are futile.

Life’s a bitch, life’s a bitch
Life can be challenging and difficult
But I’mma keep the pussy wet (Yep)
Despite the difficulties, I will stay sexually desirable and confident
My dick hard, her pussy wet
There is mutual sexual attraction and desire in the relationship
And I’m born with my dick in the earth
I am connected to the world from the beginning
You can tell me how much am I worth
Others may judge and evaluate my value
I’mma die with my heart on my sleeve
I will be unashamed and open about my emotions until the end
Many die on their hands and their knees
Some people lose their self-respect and dignity in life
And I’m takin’ whatever I need
I am assertive in pursuing my desires and needs
And I’m raping the government fees
I am critical of the government's misuse of funds and resources
And you’re wasting your time

I express my opinions and thoughts freely
And I think that I’m Richard Pryor

With priors of 32 fiends
Having past experiences and encounters with 32 addicts
And that means that I hear for higher

Why are you looking at me with such intensity?
Matta fact, man, your eyes is wired
In fact, your eyes are filled with curiosity and intrigue
You inspired by Kendrick the king
You find inspiration in the artistry and success of Kendrick, the king
Maybe it’s ’cause I’m living my dream
Perhaps because I am living out my aspirations
Man, I sing what I’m living about
I express my life experiences and beliefs through my music
And the words that come out of my mouth
The lyrics I speak are genuine and authentic
They requires a random routine
They demand a spontaneous and unpredictable approach
Of being organic granite
A solid foundation built on natural and raw elements
Then my access is granted
Once I establish this foundation, I gain access to certain privileges
To represent the shit that I conceive
To embody and express the ideas I create
And I guarantee that I’mma bring
I promise to deliver
My mind, body, soul
My whole being, my essence
And I sold all these records off bein’ myself
I achieved success by staying true to who I am
And I wish you can do the same thing, man
I hope you can also find authenticity and success
It’s easier than a stripper
It is simpler than the life of a stripper
Or tyin’ a baby shoestring
Even easier than tying a baby's shoestring
You stringing along
You are following without purpose or direction
And really why you writing a song?
And why are you even making music?
Your passion for music is never in sync
Your love for music is not genuine or aligned
No secret societies guided me to
I haven't been influenced by secret societies
The world of unseen
The hidden and unknown aspects of reality
And they tell me life is a bitch
People say life is harsh and unforgiving
Who gives a shit? You'll get relief
Why should we care? There will eventually be relief and release
I came (Bye, ho) I went
I arrived and then left
And I see that you envy of me
I notice that you are jealous of me
Enemigos don’t prosper
Enemies don't succeed or thrive
Better yet, they do die eventually
In fact, they eventually meet their demise
Cause you know and I know that
Because both you and I are aware that
I go ham even if Muslims is seen
I go all out, give my all, regardless of people's judgments
In my rearview I’m near you
Metaphorically, I am close to you and aware of your actions
But I don't hear you
However, I choose not to listen to you
Can you at least breathe?
Are you even capable of breathing, understanding the situation?
(Hi, ho, Bye, ho)
