She Needs Me
Kendrick Lamar Lyrics

I miss you, where you been?
It's been months and I haven't heard from you, I need you

It's been months and I haven't heard from you, come back to me
Come back, I need you in my life

Come back, I need you in my life
I miss you, I miss you, come back to me, I miss you

What's up baby? It's been a while
Casual greeting to a past lover who has been out of touch for some time

You been good? I've been around
Asks if the lover has been fine while he has been traveling and meeting different women

Different girls, different towns
Kendrick has been with different women in different places

To keep it real, you missing out
He is insinuating that the lover is missing out on not being with him

I'm on board, next city
Kendrick is on his way to the next city

Random call, text with me
He wants to receive a random call or text from his lover

Like I miss you so much, have sex with me
He misses his lover so much that he wishes to have sex with her

Not right now, look you know I got the ex with me
She responds that she cannot have sex with him right now because his ex is with him

She like fuck that, I don't care Dom
His ex doesn't care that he wants to be with his past lover

So selfish and that really isn't fair Dom
Kendrick believes that his ex is being selfish and unfair

Meet me here, where Dom?
She asks where to meet him

Get undressed, yeah Dom
She tells Kendrick to undress

Yeah Dom, what you need?
She asks what he needs

Some bomb head? A bag of weed?
She asks if he needs some oral sex or marijuana

Good food? Japanese?
She suggests eating Japanese food with him

That's me on page forty in that magazine
She is featured in a magazine on page forty

"Dom Kennedy" you need that
She tells Kendrick that he needs to check out the magazine featuring her

She said nobody come close, I agreed back
She claims that no one can match up to her, and Kendrick agrees

I'm the nigga who used to help her pull that weave back
Kendrick is the person who used to assist her with her hair extensions

And she need me, believe that
She still desires or needs Kendrick

That girl is smoking
Kendrick finds the girl extremely attractive

And can you believe that I'm her focus?
He is shocked that the girl is paying attention to him, given that she is so attractive

It ain't hard to see she got me open
Kendrick is attracted to her and is vulnerable to her advances

And together, we are roller-coasting, on, on, on
Kendrick and the girl are going on a ride of ups and downs

Remember dinner dates I was late? Mr. Chows
He recalls a time when he was late for a dinner date at Mr. Chows restaurant

Truant like a student, you the principal
He compares himself to a truant student and his lover to the principal disciplining him for being late

Schooled me on timing, we was both shining
His lover taught him about punctuality, and they both looked amazing that evening

Like the sun bouncing off the brightest blood diamond
They both looked dazzling and stood out like a shining diamond

I was Your Highness, you was my queen
He called her his queen and referred to himself as royalty

You got over him when I got in between
She moved on from her ex when she started seeing Kendrick

Watching Martin on TBS as it was tedious
They were watching Martin on the TV network TBS, but it was boring for them

For us to eat TV dinners every time we was famished
They would have TV dinners whenever they were hungry

But it was such a pleasure to watch you try to hold it together
Kendrick found it entertaining to see her struggle to keep the food on her plate

Every time I put the head in you would panic
She would panic whenever he inserted his penis

And come right down like an avalanche
She would quickly calm down and relax

Make your legs slant, whisper till you juicing up your pants
He would make her legs bend and whisper sweet nothings to her until she got wet

Baby how that sound? Kosher, no sir
He wants to confirm if she is okay with what he is suggesting, to which she responds positively

Wake it back up, Folgers holsters
He suggests that they have sex again, and compares his arousal to Folgers coffee

By my waistline, shot for your heart and
He claims that his gun is by his waistline and can also refer to the act of pointing a camera at her heart to capture her attention

You called it a hate crime, say you want me back
She calls the act of him ignoring her a hate crime, but also tells him that she wants to be with him again

And your girl wanna date Dom, that's high school shit
His ex-girlfriend wants to be with him, but Kendrick thinks she is being immature

4-0-1 K, we could be friends with benefits, you dig that?
He suggests that they can have a friends with benefits relationship by just having sex without any commitment

I upped and walked out, now she crying cuz
He left without explanation, and now she is crying about it

She need me, I got that Jon Brion love
Jon Brion love refers to a kind of love that is never satisfied, and that is what Kendrick has for her

Had to find love, we called it punch-drunk
He was looking for love and they called the experience of finding it punch-drunk

We was a two-piece, she was a one-punch
They were a great couple, but she was able to knock him out with one strike

You know, a knock-out, and if she was walk out
She was so amazing that he cannot resist her, and if she were to walk out again, he will be heartbroken

My heart would go black, shrivel up and drop out
Kendrick's heart would break into pieces if she were to leave him again

There we go again, what the fuck you talking bout?
Kendrick asks her what she is talking about because he is confused

We used to fuck all the time back at my momma's house
They used to have sex at his mother's house

Smoking beedies, laying on the futon
They would smoke beedies (cigarettes) and lay on a futon together

Memories I got saved up like a coupon
He has many fond memories that he treasures like coupons

And we'd be too gone off a sack of stress weed
They would get high off weed whenever they were stressed out

I was broke then, couldn't cop the best weed
He was poor back then and couldn't afford the best quality weed

Then she would just leave in a black hatchback
She would leave in a black hatchback car

Homies from the hood used to ask me if I'd tapped that
His friends used to ask him if he had sex with her

I would say yep, smiling so freely
He would say yes to his friends with a big smile on his face

That was back then, but I bet she still need me
Although this happened in the past, he believes that she still needs him now

She need me, she need me
He reiterates that she needs him

She need me, she need me
He once again emphasizes that she needs him

I would say yes, smiling so freely
He would happily confirm that they had sex before

That was back then, I bet she still need me
He is confident that she still desires him, even now

That girl is smoking
He finds the girl extremely attractive

And can you believe that I'm her focus?
He is surprised that the girl is paying attention to him

It ain't hard to see she got me open
He is attracted to her and is vulnerable to her advances

And together, we are roller-coasting, on, on, on
Kendrick and the girl are going on a ride of ups and downs
