Poetic Justice Lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

1 Every second, every minute

2 Man I swear that she can get it

3 Say if you a bad bitch put your hands up high

4 Hands up high, hands up high

5 Tell 'em dim the lights down right now, put me in the mood

6 I'm talking 'bout dark room, perfume, go, go

7 I recognize your fragrance, hold up, you ain't never gotta say shit, uh

8 And I know your taste is, a little bit hmm, high maintenance, uh

9 Everybody else basic, you live life on an everyday basis

10 With poetic justice, poetic justice

11 If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room, would you trust it?

12 I mean I write poems in these songs dedicated to you when

13 You're in the mood for empathy, there's blood in my pen

14 Better yet, where your friends and 'em? I really wanna know you all

15 I really wanna show you off, fuck that

16 Pour up plenty of champagne, cold nights when you curse this name

17 You called up your girlfriends and y'all curled in that little bitty Range

18 I heard that she wanna go and party, she wanna go and party

19 Nigga don't approach her with that Atari

20 Nigga, that ain't good game, homie, sorry

21 They say conversation rule a nation, I can tell

22 But I could never right my wrongs 'less I write it down for real, PS

23 You can get it, you can get it

24 You can get it, you can get it

25 And I know just, know just, know just, know just, know just what you want

26 Poetic justice, put it in a song, alright

27 You can get it, you can get it

28 You can get it, you can get it

29 And I know just, know just, know just, know just, know just what you want

30 Poetic justice, put it in a song, alright

31 '''Drake:'''

32 I really hope you play this, 'cause old girl you test my patience

33 With all these seductive photographs and all these one off vacations

34 You've been taking clearly a lot for me to take in, it don't make sense

35 Young East African girl, you too busy fucking with your other man

36 I was tryna put you on game, put you on a plane

37 Take you and your mama to the motherland, I could do it

38 Maybe one day when you figure out you're gonna need someone

39 When you figure out it's all right here in the city and you don't run from where we come from

40 That sound like poetic justice, poetic justice

41 You were so new to this life but goddamn you got adjusted

42 I mean I write poems in these songs, dedicated to the fun sex

43 Your natural hair and your soft skin, and your big ass in that sundress, ooh

44 Good God, what you doing that walk for?

45 When I see that thing move, I just wish we would fight less and we would talk more

46 And they say communication save relations, I can tell

47 But I can never right my wrongs unless I write 'em down for real, PS

48 '''Kendrick Lamar:'''

49 You can get it, you can get it

50 You can get it, you can get it

51 And I know just, know just, know just, know just, know just what you want

52 Poetic justice, put it in a song, alright

53 You can get it, you can get it

54 You can get it, you can get it

55 And I know just, know just, know just, know just, know just what you want

56 Poetic justice, put it in a song, alright

57 Every time I write these words, they become a taboo

58 Making sure my punctuation curve, every letter here's true

59 Living my life in the margin and that metaphor was proof

60 I'm talking poetic justice, poetic justice

61 If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room, would you trust it?

62 I mean you need to hear this, love is not just a verb

63 It's you looking in the mirror, love is not just a verb

64 It's you looking for it, maybe, call me crazy, we can both be insane

65 A fatal attraction is common and what we have common is pain

66 I mean you need to hear this, love is not just a verb

67 And I can see power steering, sex drive when you swerve

68 I want that interference, it's coherent, I can hear it, uh-huh

69 That's your heartbeat, it either caught me or it called me, uh-huh

70 Read slow and you'll find gold mines in these lines

71 Sincerely, yours truly and right before you go blind, PS

72 You can get it, you can get it

73 You can get it, you can get it

74 And I know just, know just, know just, know just, know just what you want

75 Poetic justice, put it in a song

76 ''I'm gon' ask you one more time homie, where is you from or it is a problem?

77 (Ay you over here for Sherane homie?)

78 Yo I don't care who this nigga over here for, if he don't tell where he come, it's a wrap, I'm sorry

79 (Hol' up hol' up hol' up, we gon' do it like this, okay?

80 I'mma tell you where I'm from, okay?

81 You gon' tell me where you from, okay?

82 Or where your grandma stay, where your mama stay, or where your daddy stay, okay?)

83 Enough with all this talkin'

84 (Matter of fact, get out the van homie

85 Get out the car before I snatch you out that motherfucker homie)''
