Versuri Kendrick Lamar – United in Grief lyrics

[Part I]

[Intro: Kendrick Lamar, Sam Dew & Whitney Alford]
I hope you find some peace of mind in this lifetime
(Tell them, tell ‘em, tell them the truth)
I hope you find some paradise
(Tell ‘em, tell ‘em the truth)
(Tell ‘em, tell ‘em, tell ‘em, tell ‘em your—)
I’ve been goin’ through somethin’
One-thousand eight-hundred and fifty-five days
I’ve been goin’ through somethin’
Be afraid

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
What is a bitch in a miniskirt?
A man in his feelings with bitter nerve
What is a woman that really hurt?
A demon, you’re better off killing her
What is a relative making repetitive narratives
On how you did it first?
That is a predator, hit reverse
All of your presidents’ evil thirst
What is a neighborhood rep’table?
That is a snitch on a pedestal
What is a house with a better view?
A family broken in variables
What is a rapper with jewelry?
A way that I show my maturity
What if I call on security?
That mean I’m calling on God for purity
I went and got me a therapist
I can debate all my theories and sharing it, woah
Consolidate all my comparisons
Humblin’ up because time was imperative, woah
Started to feel like it’s only one answer
To everything, I don’t know where it is, woah
Popping a bottle of Claritin, woah
Is it my head or my arrogance? Woah
Shaking and moving, like, what am I doing?
I’m flipping my time through the Rolodex
Indulging myself in my life and my music
The world that I’m in is a cul-de-sac
The world that we in is just menacing
The demons portrayed as religionous
I wake in the morning, another appointment
I hope the psychologist listenin’

[Part II]

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
The new Mercedes whip, black G-Wagon
The, „Where you from?” It was all for rap
I was 28 years young, twenty mill’ in tax
Bought a couple of mansions, just for practice
Five hundred in jewelry, chain was magic
Never had it in public, late reaction
50K to cousins, post a caption
Pray none of my enemies hold me captive

[Refrain: Kendrick Lamar]
I grieve different
I grieve different, huh

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
I met her on the third night of Chicago
North America tour, my enclave
Fee-fi-fo-fum, she was a model
Dedicated to the songs I wrote and the Bible
Eyes light green penetratin’ the moonlight
Hair done in a bun, energy in the room like
Big Bang for theory, God, hopin’ you hear me
Phone off the ringer, tell the world, „I’m busy”
Fair enough, green-eyes said her mother didn’t care enough
Sympathize when her daddy in the chain gang
Her first brother got killed, he was twenty-one
I was nine when they put Lamont in the grave
Heartbroken when Estelle didn’t say goodbye
Chad left his body after we FaceTimed
Green-eyes said you’d be okay, first tour, sex’d the pain away

[Refrain: Kendrick Lamar]
I grieve different
I grieve different, huh

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
The new Mercedes whip, black G-Wagon
The, „Where you from?” It was all for rap
I was 28 years young, twenty mill’ in tax
Bought a couple of mansions, just for practice
Five hundred in jewelry, chain was magic
Never had it in public, late reaction
50K to cousins, post a caption
Pray none of my enemies hold me captive

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
So what? Paralyzed, the county building controlled us
I bought a Rolex watch, I only wore it once
I bought infinity pools I never swimmed in
I watched Keem buy four cars in four months
You know the family dynamics on repeat
The insecurities locked down on PC
I bought a .223, nobody peace treat
You won’t doo-doo me, I smell TNT
Dave got him a Porsche, so I got me a Porsche
Paid lottery for it, I ain’t want it in portions
Poverty was the case
But the money wipin’ the tears away

[Outro: Kendrick Lamar]
I grieve different
(Everybody grieves different)
(Everybody grieves different)
I grieve different, huh
