Tekst piosenki
[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
Housekeeping, housekeeping, ah, ah
I remember you was conflicted, misusin’ your influence
Sometimes I did the same (Houskeeping)
Abusin’ my power, full of resentment
Resentment that turned into a deep depression
I found myself screamin’ in a hotel room, ah
Lucifer was all around me
So I kept runnin’ until I found my safe haven
I was tryna convince myself the stripes I got
Makin’ myself realize what my foundation was
Coyotes in the room, and I run it, and I run it
But while my loved ones was fightin’ a continuous war
Back in the city, I was enterin’ a new one
A war that was based on apartheid and discrimination
[Bridge 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Ay, on my momma, nigga (RIP 'Pac though)
I’m a be the greatest to ever to do this shit
On my momma though, like, on the dead homies
Ay, Sounwave, turn this shit up, nigga, turn this shit up
Sounwave, turn this shit up, nigga
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Tell me who the bitch-nigga hatin’ on me, uh
Jumpin’ on my dick, but this dick ain’t free, uh
Uh, To Pimp a Butterfly another classic CD
A ghetto lullaby for every one-day emcee, uh
Nigga, now RIP you
My diligence is only meant to write your eulogy, uh
[Bridge 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Alls my life I has to fight, nigga, alls my life I…
Hard times like, „God” Bad trips like, „Ya”
Nazareth, I’m fucked up, homie, you fucked up
But if God got us, then we gon’ be alright
[Hook: Pharrell Williams]
Nigga, we gon’ be alright
Nigga, we gon’ be alright
We gon’ be alright
Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon’ be alright
Nigga, we gon’ be alright
Huh? We gon’ be alright
Nigga, we gon’ be alright
Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon’ be alright
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Uh, and when I wake up
I recognize you’re lookin’ at me for the pay cut
But homicide be lookin’ at you from the face down
My MAC-11 even boom with the bass down
Schemin’, now let me tell you ’bout my life
Painkillers only put me in the twilight
Where pretty pussy and Benjamin is the highlight
Now tell my momma I love her, but this what I like, Lord knows
Twenty of ’em in my Chevy, tell ’em all to come and get me
Reapin’ everything I sow, so my karma come in heaven
No preliminary hearings on my record
I’m a motherfuckin’ gangster in silence for the record
Uh, tell the world I know it’s too late
Boys and girls, I think I’ve gone cray
Drown inside my vices all day
Won’t you please believe when I say…
[Pre-Hook: Kendrick Lamar]
Wouldn’t you know, we been hurt, been down before
Nigga, when our pride was low
Lookin’ at the world like, „Where do we go?”
Nigga, and we hate po-po
Wanna kill us dead in the street for show
Nigga, I’m at the preacher’s door
My knees gettin’ weak and my gun might blow
But we gon’ be alright
[Hook: Pharrell Williams]
Nigga, we gon’ be alright
Nigga, we gon’ be alright
We gon’ be alright
Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon’ be alright
Nigga, we gon’ be alright
Huh? We gon’ be alright
Nigga, we gon’ be alright
Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon’ be alright
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
What you want? You a house? You a car?
Forty acres and a mule? A piano? A guitar?
Anything, see, my name is Lucy, I’m your dog
Motherfucker, you could live at the mall
I can see the evil, I can tell it, I know it’s illegal
I don’t think about it, I deposit every other zero
Thinkin’ of my partner, put the candy paintin’ on the Regal
Diggin’ in my pocket, ain’t a profit big enough to feed you everyday
My logic — get another dollar
Just to keep you in the presence of your chico, ah
I don’t talk about it, be about it, everyday I sequel
If I got it then you know you got it, heaven, I can reach you
Pet dog, pet dog, pet dog, my dog, that’s all
Pick back and chat, I trap the back for y’all
I rap, I black on track so rest assured
My rights, my wrongs, I write ’til I’m right with God
[Pre-Hook: Kendrick Lamar]
Wouldn’t you know, we been hurt, been down before
Nigga, when our pride was low
Lookin’ at the world like, „Where do we go?”
Nigga, and we hate po-po
Wanna kill us dead in the street for show
Nigga, I’m at the preacher’s door
My knees gettin’ weak and my gun might blow
But we gon’ be alright
[Bridge 3: Kendrick Lamar]
I keep my head up high, I cross my heart and hope to die
Lovin’ me is complicated, too afraid, a lot changes
I’m alright and you’re a favorite, dark nights in my prayers
[Gunshot]
[Outro: Kendrick Lamar]
I remember you was conflicted, misusin’ your influence
Sometimes I did the same
Abusin’ my power, full of resentment
Resentment that turned into a deep depression
I found myself screamin’ in a hotel room
I didn’t wanna self-destruct
The evils of Lucy was all around me
So I went runnin’ for answers
