Freedom lyrics by Beyonce Ft Kendrick Lamar

Tryna rain, tryna rain on the thunder
Tell the storm I'm new
I'm a wall, come and march on the regular
Painting white flags blue
Lord forgive me, I've been running
Running blind in truth
I'mma rain, I'mma rain on this bitter love
Tell the sweet I'm new
I'm telling these tears, "Go and fall away, fall away"
May the last one burn into flames
Freedom, freedom, I can't move
Freedom, cut me loose
Singin', "Freedom, freedom, where are you?"
'Cause I need freedom too
I break chains all by myself
Won't let my freedom rot in hell
Hey, I'mma keep running
'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves
I'mma wade, I'mma wave through the waters
Tell the tide, "Don't move"
I'ma riot, I'ma riot through your borders
Call me bulletproof
Lord forgive me, I've been runnin'
Runnin' blind in truth
I'ma wade, I'ma wave through your shallow love
Tell the deep I'm new
I'm telling these tears, "Go and fall away, fall away"
May the last one burn into flames
Freedom, freedom, I can't move
Freedom, cut me loose
Singin', "Freedom, freedom, where are you?"
'Cause I need freedom too
I break chains all by myself
Won't let my freedom rot in hell
Hey, I'mma keep running
'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves
Ten Hail Marys, I meditate for practice
Channel 9 news tell me I'm movin' backwards
Eight blocks left, death is around the corner
Seven misleadin' statements 'bout my persona
Six headlights wavin' in my direction
Five-O askin' me what's in my possession
Yeah I keep runnin', jump in the aqueducts
Fire hydrants and hazardous
Smoke alarms on the back of us
But mama don't cry for me, ride for me
Try for me, live for me
Breathe for me, sing for me
Honestly guidin' me
I could be more than I gotta be
Stole from me, lied to me, nation hypocrisy
Code on me, drive on me
Wicked, my spirit inspired me
Like yeah, open correctional gates in higher desert
Yeah, open our mind as we cast away oppression
Yeah, open the streets and watch our beliefs
And when they carve my name inside the concrete
I pray it forever reads

Freedom, freedom, I can't move
Freedom, cut me loose
Singin', "Freedom, freedom, where are you?"
'Cause I need freedom too
I break chains all by myself
Won't let my freedom rot in hell
Hey, I'mma keep running
'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves
What you want from me?
Is it truth you seek? Oh father can you hear me?
What you want from me?
Is it truth you seek? Oh father can you hear me?
Hear me out
I had my ups and downs, but I always find the inner strength to cool myself off
I was served lemons, but I made lemonade

Poetic Juice lyrics by Kendrick Lamar Ft Drake

[Intro - Kendrick Lamar:]
Every second, every minute, man, I swear that she
can get it
Say if you a bad bitch put your hands up high,
hands up high, hands up high
Tell 'em dim the lights down right now, put me in
the mood
I'm talking 'bout dark room, perfume, go, go
[Verse 1 - Kendrick Lamar:]
I recognize your fragrance, hold up, you ain't never
gotta say shit, uh
And I know your taste is, a little bit hmm, high
maintenance, uh
Everybody else basic, you live life on an everyday
basis
With poetic justice, poetic justice
If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room,
would you trust it?
I mean I write poems in these songs dedicated to
you when
You're in the mood for empathy, there's blood in my
pen
Better yet, where your friends and 'em? I really
wanna know you all
I really wanna show you off, fuck that
Pour up plenty of champagne, cold nights when you
curse this name
You called up your girlfriends and y'all curled in that
little bitty Range I heard that
She wanna go and party, she wanna go and party
Nigga don't approach her with that Atari, nigga, that
ain't good game, homie, sorry
They say conversation rule a nation, I can tell
But I could never right my wrongs 'less I write it
down for real, P.S
[Hook - Kendrick Lamar:]
You can get it, you can get it
You can get it, you can get it
And I know just, know just, know just, know just,
know just what you want
Poetic justice, put it in a song
You can get it, you can get it
You can get it, you can get it
And I know just, know just, know just, know just,
know just what you want
Poetic justice, put it in a song
[Verse 2 - Drake:]
I really hope you play this, 'cause ol' girl, you test
my patience
With all these seductive photographs and all these
one off vacations
You've been taking clearly a lot for me to take in, it
don't make sense
Young East African girl, you too busy fucking with
your other man
I was tryna put you on game, put you on a plane
Take you and your momma to the motherland, I
could do it
Maybe one day when you figure out you're gonna
need someone
When you figure out it's alright here in the city and
you don't run from where we come from
That sound like poetic justice, poetic justice
You were so new to this life but Goddamn, you got
adjusted
I mean I write poems in these songs dedicated to
the fun sex
Your natural hair and your soft skin and your big ass
in that sundress, ooh
Good God, what you doing that walk for?
When I see that thing move, I just wish we would
fight less and we would talk more
And they say communication save relations, I can
tell
But I can never right my wrongs unless I write 'em
down for real, P.S
[Hook - Kendrick Lamar:]
You can get it, you can get it
You can get it, you can get it
And I know just, know just, know just, know just,
know just what you want
Poetic justice, put it in a song
You can get it, you can get it
You can get it, you can get it
And I know just, know just, know just, know just,
know just what you want
Poetic justice, put it in a song
[Verse 3 - Kendrick Lamar:]
Every time I write these words, they become a
taboo
Making sure my punctuation curve, every letter
here's true
Living my life in the margin and that metaphor was
proof
I'm talking poetic justice, poetic justice
If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room,
would you trust it?
I mean you need to hear this, love is not just a verb
It's you looking in the mirror, love is not just a verb
It's you looking for it, maybe, call me crazy, we can
both be insane
A fatal attraction is common and what we have
common is pain
I mean you need to hear this, love is not just a verb
And I can see power steering, sex drive when you
swerve
I want that interference, it's coherent, I can hear it,
uh-huh
That's your heartbeat, it either caught me or it called
me, uh-huh
Read slow and you'll find gold mines in these lines
Sincerely, yours truly and right before you go blind,
P.S

[Hook - Kendrick Lamar:]
You can get it, you can get it
You can get it, you can get it
And I know just, know just, know just, know just,
know just what you wa

Poetic justice, put it in a song
You can get it, you can get it
You can get it, you can get it
And I know just, know just, know just, know just,
know just what you want
Poetic justice, put it in a song
[Skit:]
"I'm gon' ask you one more time homie, where is
you from? Or it is a problem"
"Ay you over here for Sherane homie?"
"Yo I don't care who this nigga over here for, if he

"Hol' up hol' up hol' up, we gon' do it like this, OK?

How Much A Dollar Cost lyrics by Kendrick Lamar Ft James Fauntleroy & Ronald Isley

How much a dollar really cost?
The question is detrimental, paralyzin' my thoughts
Parasites in my stomach keep me with a gut
feeling, y'all
Gotta see how I’m chillin' once I park this luxury car
Hopping out feeling big as Mutombo
20 on pump 6, dirty Marcellus called me Dumbo
20 years ago, can't forget
Now I can lend all my ear or two how to stack
these residuals
Tenfold, the liberal concept of what men'll do
20 on 6, he didn't hear me
Indigenous African only spoke Zulu
My American tongue was slurry
Walked out the gas station
A homeless man with a semi-tan complexion
Asked me for 10 Rand [apprrox $1 USD] , stressin'
about dry land
Deep water, powder blue skies that crack open
A piece of crack that he wanted, I knew he was
smokin'
He begged and pleaded
Asked me to feed him twice, I didn't believe it
Told him, "Beat it"
Contributin' money just for his pipe, I couldn't see it
He said, "My son, temptation is one thing that I've
defeated
Listen to me, I want a single bill from you
Nothin' less, nothin' more"
I told him I ain't have it and closed my door
Tell me how much a dollar cost
[Chorus - James Fauntleroy:]
It's more to feed your mind
Water, sun and love, the one you love
All you need, the air you breathe
He's starin' at me in disbelief
My temper is buildin', he's starin' at me, I grab my
key
He's starin' at me, I started the car, then I tried to
leave
And somethin' told me to keep it in park until I
could see
The reason why he was mad at a stranger
Like I was supposed to save him
Like I'm the reason he's homeless and askin' me for
a favor
He's starin' at me, his eyes followed me with no
laser
He's starin' at me, I notice that his stare is
contagious
Cause now I'm starin' back at him, feelin' some type
of disrespect
If I could throw a bat at him, it'd be aimin' at his
neck

I never understood someone beggin' for goods
Askin' for handouts, takin' it if they could
And this particular person just had it down pat
Starin' at me for the longest until he finally asked
Have you ever opened up Exodus 14?
A humble man is all that we ever need
Tell me how much a dollar cost
[Chorus]
Guilt trippin' and feelin' resentment
I never met a transient that demanded attention
They got me frustrated, indecisive and power trippin'
Sour emotions got me lookin' at the universe
different
I should distance myself, I should keep it relentless
My selfishness is what got me here, who the fuck
I'm kiddin'?
So I'mma tell you like I told the last bum
Crumbs and pennies, I need all of mines
And I recognize this type of panhandlin' all the time
I got better judgement, I know when nigga's hustlin',
keep in mind
When I was strugglin', I did compromise, now I
comprehend
I smell grandpa's old medicine, reekin' from your
skin
Moonshine and gin, nigga you're babblin', your
words ain't flatterin'
I'm imaginin' Denzel but lookin' at O'Neal
Kazaam is sad thrills, your gimmick is mediocre
The jig is up, I seen you from a mile away losin'
focus
And I'm insensitive, and I lack empathy
He looked at me and said, "Your potential is
bittersweet"
I looked at him and said, "Every nickel is mines to
keep"
He looked at me and said, "Know the truth, it'll set
you free
You're lookin' at the Messiah, the son of Jehovah,
the higher power
The choir that spoke the word, the Holy Spirit
The nerve of Nazareth, and I'll tell you just how
much a dollar cost
The price of having a spot in Heaven, embrace your
loss, I am God"
[Ronald Isley:]
I wash my hands, I said my grace
What more do you want from me?
Tears of a clown, guess I'm not all what is meant
to be
Shades of grey will never change if I condone
Turn this page, help me change, so right my
wrongs a
