Most of them gon' talk, I know, I know
Most of them gon' fall, I know, I know

You been runnin' through my mind all day
All day, all day, all day, all day, yeah, uh

Somethin' in the way you move
Radion beams castin' vibrant views
Pick me up when I fall down and out
Dust me off and show me all truth
Show me that I'll never fly alone
I fucked up so many times, but I still have you
Show me how you do it like that
Carryin' a brother is not easy on your back

Kendrick Lamar's adlibs are so underrated in this song. I could use a whole album of just Kendrick, Swae, and Khalid. That'd be fire
