Father Time (feat. Sampha) - Kendrick Lamar

I see those multicolored Tears are bleeding from your eyes I see the rainbow and the darkness at the same time I guess that's what you call is life And you could enter mine, when you can't imagine anyone else Ooooh, imaginary stairs, I'm out here on the edge I know it's just a temporary view (girl) Won't you help me? And invite your light To wake my desire I needed something new Won't you help me? And invite your light To wake my desire See, when I see a movie and my mind's a'ite Staring through the keyhole just to catch some sunlight Start the flicker, take the picture, yeah I'm layin' with you And I wouldn't want to be anywhere else Oh, imaginary stairs, I'm out here on the edge I know it's just a temporary view (girl) Won't you help me? And invite your light To wake my desire I needed something new Won't you help me? And invite your light To wake my desire I feel you falling into my arms Scrawling out my skin Won't you invite you light To wake my desire I'm feeling shot down here Won't you help me? And invite your light To wake my desire I know it's just a temporary view (girl) Won't you help me? And invite your light To wake my desire I needed something new Won't you help me? And invite your light To wake my desire I said I'm spinning, I'm living, I'm having broad vision I wonder if you could vision it Sometimes you just need an escape I understand that's why you have to fly away Spin, I'm livin', I'm having blurred on blurred vision I know that's why you had to live it

Shadows and stones This place isn't ours anymore I can't be alone Oh, it all reminds me of our war I try scrubbin' it off when I'm in the shower I stare at myself in the mirror for hours I've held it all in but I can't go much longer And it's time (Southside, Southside, Southside) It's time (R.I.P. my nigga smoke Dawg) (R.I.P. my nigga fifty shot NSK, free my nigga 10K) (Shoutout Puffy L'z, my nigga 47, my nigga Poy) Growin' up in, in, in, in my hood You know what I'm sayin'? I've lost a lot of people And I can't let it go This feelin' I have won't settle Won't stop rainin', we're at sea level And this pain is never gentle It anchors me into the rubble But I'm breathin' fine Oh, I'm breathin' fine (Awhoolay, Ano Gang) And it's time (eighty seven hitters, nigga) Time, oh And it's time Time, ayy (to pray) (Southside, Southside, Southside) Grievin' the birth of a new day That's not a great place That's not a great place So, it's time, it's time Ohhh it's

Father time's over there, looking over my shoulder I'm here soaking up the sun and thinking I ain't gettin' no younger Crashing waves clawing at the shore That's been going on forever and more There's somethin' 'bout the sun in Mexico that burns different And this island smells familiar Don't remember what I can't forget Still living this dream, and it ain't over yet Ain't over yet Married young, worked hard to raise four children Played every bar in every small town that would have me Finally met a record man who signed me Said he liked the way my star was shinin', hit the road Man, that ain't no place to start a family But that highway looks familiar Don't remember what I can't confess Still living this dream, and it ain't over yet When was the last time We did somethin' for the first time, baby? Been a long, long time Uh-huh, uh-huh Oh, it's been a long, long time, baby Oh, been a long, long time Uh-huh, yeah, yeah Hard right to the head, left hook to the body Ain't nobody goin' down, but they sure taking a beating And the songs we sing won't change it No matter how loud we play it, I can see it I just don't know what to do about it Yeah, history looks familiar Don't remember, but we can't forget Still living this dream, and it ain't over yet Still living this dream, and it ain't over yet It ain't over yet And father time's over there, looking over my shoulder

Mama doesn't want me to do bad oh no I'll end up dead I know Mama doesn't want me to do bad oh no I'll end up dead I know And I can't blame her soul Cause I'm out of control I can't blame her soul Cause I'm out of control Baby doesn't want me to do bad oh no I'm an ass I know Baby doesn't want me to do bad oh no I'm an ass I know And I can't save her soul Cause I'm not in control And I can't save her soul Cause I'm not in control I'm not in control Who tf brought this fucking bad through my yard Who tf brought this fucking bad through my yard Pink Floyd poster hanging on my wall Pink Floyd poster hanging on my wall Aye the wall yea yea

Falling through these waves of emotion Falling through these waves of emotions I fell in love with a new girl I fell in love with a new girl Falling through these waves of emotion Falling through these waves of emotions I fell in love with a new girl I fell in love with a new girl

(I choose me) The pressure's taking over me, it's beginning to loom Better if I spare your feelings and tell you the truth Lately, I redirected my point of view You won't grow waitin' on me I can't live in the matrix, huh Rather fall short of your graces, huh This time I won't trade places, huh Not about who's right, who's wrong, huh Evolve, the only thing known, huh Ask me when I'm coming home, huh Blink twice again, I'm gone I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry She woke up in the morning for the daily news I was so low and mourning through the family feuds Baby, I told you a story and laid down all the rules Still, you won't grow waiting on me I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry 'Cause all of it's toxic Girl, I'm not relevant to givin' on profit Personal gain off my pain, it's nonsense Darlin', my demons is off the leash for a moshpit Baby, I just had a baby, you know she need me Workin' on myself, the counselin' is not easy Don't you point a finger, just to point a finger 'Cause critical thinkin' is a deal-breaker Faith in one man is a ship sinking Do yourself a favor and get a mirror that mirror grievance Then point it at me so the reflection can mirror freedom She told me she need me the most, I didn't believe her She even called me names on the post, the world can see it Jokes and gaslightin', mad at me 'cause she didn't get my vote, she say I'm trifflin' Disregardin' the way that I cope with my own vices Maybe, it's time to break it off Runaway from the culture to follow my heart I realized, true love's not savin' face But unconditional, when will you let me go? I trust you'll find independence If not, then all is forgiven Sorry I didn't save the world, my friend I was too busy buildin' mine again I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry I choose me, I'm sorry
