Poetic Justice
Lamar Kendrick Lyrics

Every second, every minute, man I swear that she can get it
I am constantly infatuated with her and believe that she is desirable at any given moment

Say if you a bad bitch put your hands up high, hands up high, hands up high
If you consider yourself confident and powerful, show it proudly and confidently

Tell 'em dim the lights down right now, put me in the mood
Requesting a change in the ambiance to create a more intimate and sensual atmosphere

I'm talking 'bout dark room, perfume
Referring to a dimly lit room with a touch of fragrance for a seductive setting

Go, go
Encouraging a forward, adventurous approach

I recognize your fragrance (hol' up)
I am familiar with your distinct scent and it grabs my attention

You ain't never gotta say shit (woo)
There is no need for you to verbally express yourself because your presence speaks volumes

And I know your taste is
I am aware of your preferences

A little bit (mmm) high maintenance (ooh)
You require a certain level of effort and attention

Everybody else basic
Compared to you, everyone else is ordinary and unremarkable

You live life on an everyday basis
You approach and navigate life with a confident and unique perspective

With poetic justice, poetic justice
Our connection and relationship is filled with artistic and meaningful significance

If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room, would you trust it?
In a difficult or challenging environment, would you believe in the potential for beauty and growth?

I mean I write poems in these songs dedicated to you
I express my feelings and admiration for you through the lyrics of my songs

When you're in the mood for empathy, there's blood in my pen
When you yearn for understanding and emotional connection, my lyrics convey deep emotions and experiences

Better yet where your friends and them?
I am curious about the company you keep and the people you associate with

I really wanna know you all
I have a true desire to understand and get to know all aspects of your life and personality

I really wanna show you off
I am proud to have you by my side and want to present you to the world

Fuck that, pour up plenty of champagne
Disregard all inhibitions and celebrate with an abundance of champagne

Cold nights when you curse this name
During difficult times, when you express frustration or anger, my name is often mentioned

You called up your girlfriends and
You sought support and advice from your close female friends

Y'all curled in that little bitty Range I heard that
You and your friends huddled closely together in a small Range Rover, as I have heard

She wanna go and party, she wanna go and party
She desires to engage in social events and celebrate

Nigga don't approach her with that Atari
Don't attempt to impress her with something outdated or obsolete

Nigga that ain't good game, homie, sorry
That approach is not effective or impressive, my apologies

They say conversation, rule a nation, I can tell
Communication is considered essential and influential in relationships and society, and I understand its importance

But I could never right my wrongs
I am unable to correct the mistakes I have made

'Less I write it down for real, P.S
Unless I genuinely express my remorse and intentions through writing, it won't have a lasting impact, postscript

You can get it, you can get it
You have the ability to obtain whatever you desire

And I know just, know just, know just, know just, know just what you want
I am fully aware of your desires and preferences

Poetic justice, put it in a song
By incorporating our experiences and emotions into a song, we create poetic justice and deep meaning

I really hope you play this
I genuinely desire for you to listen to this song

'Cause ol' girl you test my patience
Your actions and behavior sometimes challenge my level of tolerance

With all these seductive photographs and all these one off vacations
The provocative images and frequent spontaneous trips add to the complexity of our relationship

You've been taken
You have been captivated or enamored by someone else

Clearly a lot for me to take in
It is overwhelming for me to process and comprehend everything that is happening

It don't make sense
The situation or circumstances are confusing and illogical

Young East African Girl, you too busy fucking with your other man
You, a young woman of East African descent, are preoccupied and engaged with another man

I was trying to put you on game, put you on a plane
I attempted to educate and elevate you, even offering trips to different locations

Take you and your mama to the motherland
I wanted to bring both you and your mother to your ancestral homeland

I could do it, maybe one day
There is a possibility of me fulfilling these desires, although it may take time

When you figure out you're gonna need someone
Once you realize that you will require a partner or support system

When you figure out it's all right here in the city
When you come to understand that everything you need is available in our current location

And you don't run from where we come from
And you embrace and acknowledge our shared background and origins

That sound like poetic justice, poetic justice
This scenario aligns perfectly with the concept of poetic justice

You were so new to this life but God damn you got adjusted
You were inexperienced in this lifestyle initially, but you quickly adapted and assimilated

I mean I write poems in these songs, dedicated to the fun sex
I express my desires and experiences of passionate and enjoyable intimate moments through the poetry in my songs

Your natural hair and your soft skin, and your big ass in that sundress (ooh)
I am captivated by your authentic appearance, smooth skin, and your attractive figure accentuated by a sundress

Good God, what you doing that walk for?
Wow, your confident and enticing walk grabs my attention

When I see that thing move, I just wish we would fight less
Your movements evoke a desire within me to have fewer arguments and disagreements

And we would talk more
Instead of engaging in conflicts, we should prioritize open and honest communication

And they say communication save relations, I can tell
It is widely believed that effective communication is crucial for maintaining healthy relationships, and I agree

But I can never right my wrongs unless I write them down for real
I can only truly rectify my mistakes by sincerely expressing them in writing

P.S
Postscript, an additional note or message

Every time I write these words they become a taboo
Whenever I write these lyrics, they become controversial or forbidden topics

Making sure my punctuation curve, every letter here's true
I take great care in structuring my sentences and ensuring the authenticity of every word

Living my life in the margin and that metaphor was proof
I often exist on the outskirts or boundaries of societal norms, and this metaphor serves as evidence

I'm talking poetic justice, poetic justice
I am referring to the concept of poetic justice, where actions and consequences align artistically

If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room, would you trust it?
If I informed you that there was beauty and growth in the midst of darkness, would you have faith in it?

I mean you need to hear this
It is important for you to listen and understand this message

Love is not just a verb, it's you looking in the mirror
Love is not solely an action, but also involves self-reflection and self-acceptance

Love is not just a verb, it's you looking for a maybe
Love is not limited to action, but also involves seeking possibilities and potential

Call me crazy, we can both be insane
People may consider us to be irrational, but we can embrace and enjoy our shared madness

A fatal attraction is common
An intense and dangerous allure is often found in relationships

And what we have common is pain
Our shared experience is filled with emotional anguish

I mean you need to hear this
It is vital for you to listen and fully comprehend this message

Love is not just a verb and I can see power steering
Love is more than an action, and I can perceive a sense of control and influence in our connection

Sex drive when you swerve, I want that interference
When your desire intensifies or becomes more unpredictable, I desire to be a part of it

It's coherent, I can hear it, mmhm
It is logical and understandable, and I can comprehend the message clearly

That's your heartbeat
That is the sound of your heart pulsating

It either caught me or it called me, mmhm
It has either captivated my attention or summoned me to respond

Breathe slow and you'll find gold mines in these lines
If you take your time to understand and analyze these lyrics, you will discover valuable and profound messages

Sincerely, yours truly
With genuine sincerity and authenticity, from me to you

And right before you go blind
In the moments leading up to losing sight or clarity

P.S
Postscript, an additional note or message

I'm gon' ask you one more time, homie
I am going to pose the question to you once more, my friend

Where is you from? Or it is a problem (ask him if he here for Sherane)
What is your place of origin? Or is there an issue with that? (Inquire if he is present for Sherane)

Ayy, you over here for Sherane, homie?
Hey, are you here because of Sherane, my friend?

I don't care who this nigga over here for
I am not concerned about the intentions or affiliations of the person standing near us

If he don't tell me where he from, it's a wrap I'm sorry
If he fails to disclose his origin, the situation will be concluded, and I apologize

Hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, we gon' do it like this, okay?
Wait a moment, we are going to handle this in a certain manner, alright?

I'ma tell you where I'm from, okay?
I am going to disclose my place of origin, alright?

You gon' tell me where you from, okay?
You are going to share your place of origin with me, alright?

Or where your grandma stay, where your mama stay
Or the locations where your grandmother and mother reside

Or where your daddy stay, okay? Fuck with all this talkin'
Or the location where your father resides, alright? Forget all this unnecessary conversation

As a matter of fact, get out the van, homie
In fact, exit the vehicle, my friend

Get out the car before I snatch you out that motherfucker, homie
Exit the car before I forcefully remove you from it, my friend
