watch the party die

Kendrick Lamar

I think it s time to watch the party die
This shit done got too wicked to apologize
It s different, get him whacked and disqualified
We even kill the killers
cause they like taking innocent lives
Burn a whole village, we start over, it s really that time
Why reason with these niggas
if they can t see the future first?
Why argue with these clowns if the circus is well at work?
Just walk that man down, that ll do everyone a solid
It s love, but tough love sometimes gotta result in violence
If you parade in gluttony without givin truth to the youth
The graveyard is company, just tell us what casket to choose
They party more than bitches
tell me, what are you working for?
They glorify scamming, you get chipped over this credit card
Influencers talked down cause I m not with the basic shit
But they don t hate me, they hate the man that I represent
The type of man that never dickride cause I want a favor
The man that resides in patience, so where the soldiers at?
The one s that lost it all and learnt to learn from that
A thirst for life, head inside a book
cause he concerned with that
Information that ll change his life
because he yearns for that
Dedication, findin out what s right
cause he can earn from that
I feel for the women that deal with the clown and nerd shit
Can t blame them
today they ain t really got much to work with
How many bitches harder than a lot of you niggas?
Would trade all of y all for Nip
I can t be proud of you niggas

God, give me life, dear God, please give me peace
Dear God, please keep these lame niggas away from me
Dear God, keep me shinin , the fuck do they really think?
Pocket-watching, you must be the police
God, bless these words, dear God, bless how I think
Dear God, draw the line, they tryna confuse em with me
Dear God, please forgive me, you knowin how hard I tried
I think it s time for me
to watch the party die (Uh-huh, huh)
Get em gone, we gon watch the party die (Uh-huh)
Send em home, we gon watch the party die

I think it s time to watch the party die
Street niggas and the corporate guys
the rappers that report the lies
I need they families mortified
We can do life without em
get they bodies organized, tell me if you obliged
No more pillow-talkin , jump-startin neighborhood wars
Dirty-mackin bitches because your spirit is insecure
The flashy nigga with nasty decisions
usin money as a backbone
I want his head cracked before he s back home
The radio personality pushin propaganda for salary
Let me know when they turn up as a casualty, I want agony
Assault and battery, I see a new Earth
Filled with beautiful people makin humanity work
Let s kill the followers that follow up
on poppin mollies from
The obvious, degenerates, that s failing to acknowledge the
Hope that we tryna spread, if I m not his vote
Then you need to bring his fucking head
I ll film that shit in hi-res

God, give me life, dear God, please give me peace
Dear God, please keep these lame niggas away from me
Dear God, keep me shinin , the fuck do they really think?
Pocket-watching, you must be the police
God bless these words, dear God, bless how I think
Dear God, draw the line, they tryna confuse em with me
Dear God, please, forgive me, you knowin how hard I tried
I think it s time for me to watch the party die

Sometimes I wonder what Lecrae would do
Fuck these niggas up or show em just what prayer do?
I want to be empathetic, my heart like Dee-1
But I would?
It s time to get these devils out the way
heavy metals on my sword
We settle hard disputes today, the ghetto Hollywood divorce
Say hello to your future fate
the culture bred with carnivores
You let em snack, they eat your face
the signatures is bein forged
They wonder why I m not enthused to drop
The more visible you get, the more your spiritual is tried
It s cynical to say I know these artists petrified
The end result, in jail by Jezebel
or drugged up full of lies
Critical, I know my physical is tested all the time
I m pitiful, sunken place soon as I m questionin my pride
I m seein ghosts, blackin out
relapsin one thought at a time
I spare no feelings that ain t mine
I m in my feelings when I slide, I mean
A nigga wonder what Lecrae would do
Terrace Martin said I m mentally with layers, true
I flood the market with my best regards, I paid your dues
And so it s up, if you ain t one of ours, it s bad news
My nigga Jay Estrada said
I gotta burn it down to build it up
That confirmation real as fuck, it ain t too many real as us
Lockin in to what I trust, lookin outside
The kids live tomorrow cause today, the party just died
