Lyrics 818 and Heartbreak Outro - Derrick Lamar

They say
As an artist
You come up with some of your best material
When you deal with pain or heartbreak
Well this was 818 and Heartbreak
And if you made it this far
You a real one

Yea
August eighteenth, two thousand and eighteen
The day we met we was like the A-Team
Long before your best friends hating
It was just us and a vibe
Crazy to think how that shit was able to die
A bunch of bullshit,
Bullshit backed by lies

I would've never thought that we would have to sever ties

But
I promised you that your demise would be televised
I'm looking at it thru an open different set of eyes

I only did the shit that I did cuz I was a solid nigga
I was never a much the way you swallowed dick up

Come on now let's keep it real you know the reason why,
But we gon keep that little secret between you and I

You had one job to do that was to be truthful
You was mediocre at best but I always called you beautiful

Would've never gave you that dough if I knew we wasn't gon be together
Took the bullshit you said as the truth but now
I see you clever
My daughter was writing you letters
I was in the other room busting a nut up on your chili pepper
Tattoo that's on your right ass cheek
We tried to run it back with no track meet

You lucky I didn't have you fat ass beat
Throwing a rock thru my window?
I got some rider bitches on end Hoe
Shit could easily switch like Nintendo

You playing with fire
I could've aired yo ass out
And that's word to Samiya

You manifested me?
I gave you the absolute best of me!
But I can see it wasn't destiny
I had you down on both knees you was blessing me
But at the
End of the day it was disaster for the recipe

You had your friends all thinking I was crazy
But never talked about the way you played me
Told me all of the hater shit your friends speak
But never told them about
Korean BBQ and twin peaks
Bella Siena for Mother's Day
Yo Homegirl walked by our table
But you chose to look the other way

That's how I knew I was the secret
You even hid me from Victoria
I tapped yo ass and felt victorious

Like Victor Freeze I was all about Nora
You should change your name to Whore-a
The 818 had us tore up

Who fucked you in your old job in the break room?
Who fucked you in the twin peaks restroom?
Who would've made the fuckin best groom?

You left that nigga cuz he wouldn't put a ring on it
After that I gave you my mic
For you to sing on it
And you sung for a whole four years
But was a hoe for the whole four years
Restraining order for the popo fears

Nigga we could've stayed cool
But you tried to play a real one for a straight fool

After I opened up about my issues
You was a gold digger for the rich dude
And tell Ashley she a bitch too
Bitch

Cuz I know she was the one that carried out that plan
But I ain't tripping so I choose to be a bigger man
And I won't speak on all the shit you said about your friends
But you a snake it's in your nature
Had to wash my hands

That's it
Na mean
818 and Heartbreak
It didn't have to be like this
Even if
We wasn't gon
Really make it happen
Like
I thought we was like
Friends
I thought we was more than
It is what it is tho
It's Dotty
