Текст песни Bloody Waters - Kendrick Lamar

Meet the man in the mask
Meet the man in the mask

All those days and all that stays and
I don't keep it, I won't be here for it
All those days and all that stays and
I don't keep it though, I won't be here for it

Yes Lord, huh
Hail Mary's in the sky (Hail Mary's in the sky)
False prophets get buried alive (alive)
Head on the throne 'cause that's where I reside (reside)
Ways of the world, the weak won't survive
Something's in the water (the water), ayy, my - we lawless (lawless)
Please move with caution
Who set the fairway? (Fairway) damn right, I need all this (all this)
Yeah, Jack, I need all this, eyy

Hittas acquitted with fingerprints on the -
Screamin' we gon' make it like two-thirds of The LOX
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
Pow pow, he comes, blah blah

Blood on my hands, I'ma need hot agua
You gon' meet Jamaica, I won't say it in Patois
Hope I strike a nerve like a package of matches
You might wanna bypass, this smoke ain't gas trick

A prince-turned-pope but tryin' to do like kings do
Sweatin' in chess games, tryna move like kings move
You should slow your roll before you drown in a moat
He tried to channel balance but never found the remote

Killers on the prowl still juggin' off a lick
Still a- with a double for his -, common politics, everlastin' mayhem
Draw to stick you for' your figures, that's how they hang man
So what's your game plan if you got one?

You aimin' at passengers with a - (whoa)
The aftermath is you in the scope
It's warfare, is war fair? (No)
You understand? It's probably better you don't
Just keep a dock on standby, charter a boat
Ship set sail, planes depart
The big picture's in motion, are you playin' your part?

Before the lights get dark and the curtains get closed
Are you playin' your role?
As told by an organized criminal
When general get off my g-, I got your general

Hail Mary's in the sky (Hail Mary's in the sky)
False prophets get buried alive (alive)
Head on the throne 'cause that's where I reside (reside)
Ways of the world the weak won't survive
Something's in the water (the water), ayy, my - we lawless (lawless)
Please move with caution
Who set the fairway? (Fairway) damn right, I need all this (all this)
Yeah, Jack, I need all this, eyy

I had to be about nine when I first had seen it
Low, lows pulled up outside of the Ralph's
After a car show at Dominguez
They had a disagreement they had to air out

Just another day in Del Amo
Fo' sho, man down, mando
(Thank) thank God I never had to knock your partner off
Or be another casualty of war, amen (amen)

There's four footprints in the sand where I walk
I never claimed to be a saint at all
(Four) four Russians trippin' with hollow tips
Kalashnikov, aimed at y'all (kla, kla, kla)

No, Soulo hoe, kept it clean
Ridin' dirty, jury would have gave me 30
Herbie love buggin' out, hit the target blindfolded
Electorial college devoted

To hit the score, to write the score that's not a metaphor
Ragin' against the machinery, tapin' up the scenery
You gotta keep the piece to keep the peace, got dough
Squad up and mopped the block up for a cleanin' fee

I don't need you to change
I don't need you to change yourself (get, get away, get away)
(Get, get away, get away) but I've got to get away
I've got to get away (get, get away, get away)
From it all (get, get away, get away)
(Get, get away, get away)
Be as free as you can (get, get away, get away)
Be as free as you can (get, get away, get away)
Away from me (get, get away)
I tried to be a saint like everybody else
