Lyrics:
[Therapy Session: Helen Mirren and Kendrick Lamar] Clock Ticking HELEN Kendrick? Kendrick? Did you hear that, Kendrick? KENDRICK Um, yes, um My apologies I thought my time was up HELEN No, we can continue if you'd like So, what did you say to the lady in the parking structure? KENDRICK and LADY You took my damn parking spot! I told her I didn't take your damn parking spot HELEN And how did that make you feel, reacting that way? KENDRICK I felt decent HELEN Oh! How come? KENDRICK Because I did take her parking spot Helen and Kendrick both begin laughing KENDRICK No HELEN You texted me at 2 o'clock in the morning, "I feel like i'm fallin" Why do you feel that way? KENDRICK Life Music Begins [Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar] One of these lives, I'ma make things right With the wrongs I've done, that's when I unite With the Father, Son, 'til then, I fight Rain on me, put the blame on me Got guilt, got hurt, got shame on me Got six magazines that's aimed at me Done every magazine, what's fame to me? FUCK, Man! (And I'm tripping and falling) It's a game to me, where the bedroom at? Sleep, I ain't never had affairs with that What's fair when the hearts and the words don't reach? What's fair when the money don't take things back? It's rare when somebody take your dreams back (And I'm tripping and falling) I care too much, wanna share too much, in my head too much I shut down too, I ain't there too much I'm a complex soul, they layered me up Then broke me down, and morality's dust, I lack in trust (And I'm tripping and falling) This time around, I trust myself Please everybody else but myself All else fails, I was myself Outdone fear, outdone myself This year, you better one yourself (And I'm tripping and falling) Masks on the babies, mask on an opp Wear masks in the neighborhood stores you shop But a mask won't hide who you are inside Look around, the reality's carved in lies Wipe my ego, dodge my pride (And I'm tripping and falling) Look myself in the mirror Amityville, ain't seen nothin' scarier I fought like a pitbull terrier Blood I shed could fill up aquariums Tell all my angels, "Carry 'em" (And I'm tripping and falling) Every emotion been deprived Even my strong points couldn't survive If I didn't learn to love myself, forgive myself a hundred times, dawg [Chorus: Kendrick Lamar] I love when you count me out I love when you count me out I love when you count me I love when you count me out I love when you count me out I love when you count me (And I'm tripping and falling) (And I'm tripping and falling) (And I'm tripping and falling) (And I'm-)
