[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
Every second, every minute
Man, I swear that she can get it (Hey)
Say if you a bad chick, put your hands up high (What's up?)
Hands up high (What's up?), hands up high (Uh-huh)
Tell 'em dim the lights down right now, put me in the mood
I'm talkin' 'bout dark room, perfume
Go, go
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
I recognize your fragrance
Hold up, you ain't never gotta say it, uh
And I know your taste is
A little bit, mm, high maintenance, uh
Everybody else basic
You live life on an everyday basis
With poetic justice, poetic justice
If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room, would you trust it?
I mean, I write poems in these songs dedicated to you when
You're in the mood for empathy, it's blood in my pen
Better yet, where your friends and 'em?
I really wanna know you all
I really wanna show you off
Fuck that, pour up plenty of champagne
Cold nights when you curse this name
You called up your girlfriend
Y'all curled in little bitty Range, I heard that
She wanna go and party, she wanna go and party
Don't approach her with that Atari
That ain't good game, homie
Now they say conversation rule a nation, I can tell
But I could never right my wrongs 'less I write it down for real, PS
(One time)
[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
You can get it, you can get it, you can get it, you can get it
And I know just, know just, know just, know just, know just what you want, uh
Poetic justice, uh, put it in a song, alright (Two times, wait)
You can get it, you can get it, you can get it, you can get it
And I know just, know just, know just, know just, know just what you want
Poetic justice, put it in a song, alright
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Every time I write these words, they become a taboo
Makin' sure my punctuation curve, every letter here's true
Livin' my life in the margin and that metaphor was proof
I'm talkin' poetic justice, poetic justice
If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room, would you trust it?
I mean, you need to hear this
Love is not just a verb, it's you lookin' in the mirror
Love is not just a verb, it's you lookin' for it, maybe
Call me crazy, we can both be insane
A fatal attraction is common and what we have common is pain
I mean, you need to hear this
Love is not just a verb and I can see power steerin'
Sex drive when you swerve
I want that interference, it's coherent, I can hear it, mhm
That's your heartbeat, it either caught me or it called me, mhm
Read slow and you'll find gold mines in these lines
Sincerely, yours truly, and right before you go blind, PS
[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
You can get it, you can get it, you can get it, you can get it
And I know just, know just, know just, know just, know just what you want (Hey)
Poetic justice (Hey), put it in a song, alright (Two times)
You can get it, you can get it, you can get it, you can get it
And I know just, know just, know just, know just, know just what you want
Poetic justice, put it in a song (Alright)
[Outro: Kendrick Lamar]
If you a bad chick, put your hands up high (Ho)
Hands up high (Ho), hands up high (Uh-huh)
Tell 'em dim the lights down right now, put me in the mood (Ho)
I'm talkin' 'bout dark room, perfume
Go, go (Go)
