I get really emotional listening to this and it really hits the soul. I feel for all people out there battling your own mind everyday, you are not alone.
[Intro: Kendrick Lamar] I pop the pain I slide the pain I pop the pain away I slide the pain away [Pre-Chorus: Blxst] I hope I'm not too late to set my demons straight I know I made you wait, but how much can you take? I hope you see the God in me, I hope you can see And if it's up, stay down for me, yeah [Chorus: Amanda Reifer] Shimmy, shimmy, coco puff Serafina, flame in us Where I'd be without your love Rest your wing and trust, I feel you Deep (I feel), deep (I feel), deep (I feel), deep Deep (I feel), deep (I feel), deep (I feel), deep [Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar] Do you love me? (Okay) Do you trust me?(Okay) Can I trust you? (Okay) Don't judge me (Okay) I'ma die hard, it gets ugly (Okay) Too passionate, it gets ugly (Okay) (Mmm, ah-ah) I wonder where I lost my way (Mmm, ah-ah) Been waiting on your call all day Tell me you in my corner right now When I fall short, I'm leaning on you to cry out We all got enough to lie about My truth too complicated to hide now Can I open up? Is it safe or not? I'm afraid a little, you relate or not? Have faith a little, I might take my time Ain't no saving face this time [Pre-Chorus: Blxst] I hope I'm not too late to set my demons straight I know I made you wait, but how much can you take? I hope you see the God in me, I hope you can see And if it's up, stay down for me, yeah [Chorus: Amanda Reifer] Shimmy, shimmy, coco puff Serafina, flame in us Where I'd be without your love Rest your wing and trust, I feel you Deep (I feel), deep (I feel), deep (I feel), deep Deep (I feel), deep (I feel), deep (I feel), deep [Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar] I got some regrets (I-I-I, yeah) But my past won't keep me from my best (I-I-I, yeah) Subtle mistakes felt like life or death (I-I-I, yeah) I wanna see the family stronger I wanna see the money longer You know that I'd die for you (I'd die for you) I get emotional about life The lost ones keepin' me up at night The world be reminding me its danger I still risk it all for a stranger If I told you who I am, would you use it against me? Right or wrong, no stone, just love to send me [Pre-Chorus: Blxst] I hope I'm not too late to set my demons straight I know I made you wait, but how much can you take? I hope you see the God in me, I hope you can see And if it's up, stay down for me, yeah [Outro: Blxst] Baby, you make me pray for London Yeah, 'cause if I want it all without you involved I guess it's all for nothing
That's what I've been doing since the song dropped, and I feel happier and that my family is stronger and our money is going to stay longer! I have nothing but respect for his wisdom.
The mixing on this song is fucking amazing. Kendrick go in soo hard on this right here, straight up BANGER! He aint like all them trappers and oppas who just be usin dat *AUTHENTIC views* dawwwt cawwwwm jawwwwn to get they hits up to go HAM... SMH seem like anyone can glow up these days... SMH
i love the message this song sends, instead about brooding about your past failures and mistakes he puts it all behind him and looks to a bright positive future. I IOVE IT
Im sure I'm not alone when I say this song literally latches on to my emotions and just choke hold them shits😫😭Every time he hits "I got some regrets" I ball like lil kid thinking about the shit ive done and been through. This has been my #1 favorite off the album
The part that gets me, "If I told you my truth , would you use it against me, no stones thrown just love to send me?" Everybody got a truth to tell, but we scared wed lose the ones.
This is my favorite song of all time. I saw another comment on here, credit goes to them, who said this song feels like a hug to someone that is deprived of one or something along those lines, and I feel like that perfectly describes how I feel about this song. The vibe is perfect, the singing from Kendrick, Blxst, and Amanda is immaculate. And the lyrics…oh my god. It’s not very often when a song that nearly everyone can relate to is written, the only other song I can think of where everyone can relate is Family Business by Kanye. Everyone goes through shit in their life, whether it be something small that may not be that deep in the long run to trauma that has haunted them their entire life. We’ve all made mistakes in our life. We’re all scared to open up. However, our strive to overcome our demons and become the best people we can be defines us for who we are. The message of the song is so powerful and has never failed to cheer me up in my darkest hours. I won’t get too into it but this song no lies has saved and changed my life. Thank you Kendrick Lamar for releasing the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard on both a lyrical and sonic level, and thank you to the writers and producers for making this song.
I love this song so much. I've been listening to this for a while now and suddenly the second verse made me tear up today. Screaming out the lyrics like there's no tomorrow. I really do believe in pushing towards a better tomorrow; I hope this feeling is the same for you guys too ❤
This song seems to have an almost Wyclef Jean vibe. This is a great song for relaxation mode. I loved so much of Wyclef Jean's music over the years. A rebirth of the style is awesome.
The beauty with his songs as is that they get better over time. He’s not like these TikTok rappers who release multiple albums in a year and then disappear all of a sudden.
"I got some regrets, But my past won't keep me from my best" so fucking powerful, I hope everyone listening will internalize that. I love y'all. Good luck
"I'll still risk it all for a stranger If I told you who I am, would you use it against me? Right or wrong, no stone, just love to send me" When you think this is just a summer jam than you actually listen to the lyrics and realize hes talking about something deeper. Genius.
been doing it on the national stage since Swimming Pools, everybody thought that was a partying drinking song but it was about the detrimental affects of alcoholism
"Listened" to this when the album first came out. "Heard" it recently! It's a masterpiece! Really speaks to the existence of man as we navigate through all the bullshit life throws at us. We try to be soft at times but it's just so difficult to not resist vulnerability and be hard cuz of our own lives experiences! A real catch 22!
Today I am 80 days sober, and when I first heard this song I was so far gone in my addiction, now I'm hearing it sober and it brought back so many memories, emotions, feelings it hits different when now that I'm sober. Plus I think it's like a love song to the life of my life, telling her I'd drop everything just to be with her. I love you Tanna ♥️
"I get emotional about life, the lost ones keeping me up at night the world be reminding me its danger I still risk it all for a stranger"😭 That hit deep... had me rethinking my life
“I picked you up when you fell and cut your knee. I told you not to cry and held you close to me.” What Kendrick is doing here after saying, I pop the pain away, I slide the pain away, is introducing the idea of tenderness and unconditional love as an antidote to pain both physical and mental. Instead of sex, drugs and alcohol and all the other things we do to numb pain. Not something you hear often if ever in hip-hop. It’s really the most important line in the song, which is why it’s repeated over and over. Yes, that man deserved that Pulitzer. Probably more for this album than DAMN.
Kendrick lamar go in soo hard on this right here, straight up BANGER! He aint like all them trappers and oppas who just be usin dat *HIPVIEWS* to get they hits up to go HAM... SMH seem like anyone can glow up these days... SMH
As someone who has found the love of his life but also struggles with his own past, this hits me extremely hard. I mean, every single line by Kendrick and Blxst is me. This is a beautiful song for any man in love and introspective enough to want to make themselves better for the success and future of the relationship and life in general. The vulnerability it takes to speak like this to a partner can be terrifying. Trusting that love will find a way isn't always easy.
It’s been a few months this song and album as a whole came out. I see myself always coming back to this song or a different track depending on my mood. I think out of everything that’s been going on and what Kendrick has been releasing, this album is the most important one of his catalog. I see this as a catchy song but I also know people are able to heal with this album. Thank you Kenny!
The more I listen, the more of myself I hear in these words. It's like he knows what you're dealing with and makes music out of it for you to hear. TPAB & MMTBS came when I truly needed them most.
I pop the pain away, I slide the pain away I pop the pain away, I slide the pain away I picked you up when you fell and cut your knee Told you not to cry and held you close to me I hope I'm not too late to set my demons straight I know I made you wait, but how much can you take? I hope you see the God in me, I hope you can see And if it's up, stay down for me, yeah Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa puff Serafina, flame in us Where I'd be without your love Rest your wings and trust, I feel you Deep (I know you feeling), deep (know you feel) Deep (I know you feeling), deep (too deep, ooh) Deep (I know you feeling), deep (deep, know you feel) Deep (I know you feeling), deep (you) Do you love me? (Okay) do you trust me? (Okay) Can I trust you? (Okay) don't judge me (okay) I'ma die hard, it gets ugly (okay) Too passionate, it gets ugly (okay) Mmh, ahh I wonder where I lost my way Mmh, ahh Been waiting on your call all day Tell me you in my corner right now When I fall short, I'm leaning on you to cry out We all got enough to lie about My truth too complicated to hide now Can I open up?

I started to really appreciate this newest project by Kendrick just recently. Even though the song sounds very sweet and nice, I relate to the meaning of it on such a high level it is concerning. I was always a person who could become not only way too connected to the individual I have a little amount of trust, but also make myself force and eventually get a feeling like they are the one I always needed in my life and the one I will spend the rest of my years with them. Getting too comfortable with a person, having a relationship where I go all the way in describing my feelings and how I would die for my person, it eventually "gets ugly" and in the end my heart gets broken. "I still risk it all for a stranger", as the song says and after learning it the hard way of quite a few of relationships ending the toxic way, I managed to understand the importance of shaping your ideology of having any kind of a relationship with a person in order to have a normal contact with an individual. The nice sunny tune of the song makes me go back to my very first serious relationship which despite of it ending the hard way I still find to be associated with nice warm memories. This hits hard.
I Was On My Way To A Rehab After Falling Short As A Father, A Lover, And A Man. This Song Debuted While I Was On Route And Gave Me The Strength To Get To It And Start Working On The Things I Fell Short On. I Love This Song. You’re Never Too Late If You Truly Wanna Be Better. ❤
I struggled with addiction for 12 years, I have been sober a year and have been given the blessing of a baby from God in the last year. The second verse speaks to me and is so powerful. God bless you Kendrick❤️❤️
Thank you Kendrick. God just spoke to me through you. 🙏🏿 I had a Child born 25-September-2022. She lived for 18 days. Her name was SARAFINA. The most difficult 18 of our lives. Well 17 days, she was admitted in ICU a day after she was born. We visited the hospital everyday with her mother until she passed. She's an angel of God now. She is burning bright by God's throne, just what her name means. SARAFINA means "An ANGEL of God, an angel of light. One who sits next to God." Amen🙏🏿 God SPEAKS.
OK I don't know what "skeletons in the closet" means but I'm sure it's a great thing🤣🤣 I love the range of styles in this album. So far different vibe each song. N95 has a great switch of glow and constant beat. Mirror is good too Overall all songs have hot hard in the instrumental department. All beats fit the lyrics perfect. Some songs I don't like probably just haven't grown on me yet
I just discovered this song and I am thankful to kendrick who made me realize that I am not alone in this universe to fight the demons. Good luck y'all
His music is so for the culture. He STUDIED his fans and really took in every single thing for a whole five years. This man is MORE THAN JUST AN ARTIST .. He’s a lyrical legend. No one can do it like Kendrick. Proud of this man!
When Kendrick said "should I open up, is it safe or not? I'm afraid a little" he's becoming a child again, it sounds like he's finally being vulnerable for the first time in a while, coming out of his shell that he probably was in since he was a child. Just imagine it as a scene from a movie, Kendrick finally tries to open up, his little self is still there in the shell, scared. He asks "can I open up, I'm a little scared". But then Kendrick says "ain't no saving, face this time" meaning he knows in order to win over his demons he needs to face his fears, and that's when the little Kendrick finally cracks the shell open and gets out. If that's not beautiful, idk what is
Gracias DIOS! Por hablarme a travez de esto, TE AMO🙏❤️ BENDICE EL TRABAJO DE KENDRICK Y A TODOS LOS QUE ESCUCHAMOS SUS LETRAS TOCANOS EL CORAZON PARA SENTIRTE CADA VEZ MAS CERCA AMEN.🙏❤️
If not vibing, you're dead. Grown music that makes you grab your partner & rock side to side. Even without a partner the song grabs the soul like you do.
@Citi360 Couldn't agree more. Love to see this young man take music as serious as it's supposed to be. Today many young ones are just talking over a Beat, no message, no feelings, just sex, drugs or fantasies of other things that doesn't relate to many of us.

Amanda is such a great artist. She’s so underrated. I was so happy/surprised that Kendrick decided to add her on this track. She’s gonna get her big break soon ❤
People throw this phrase around a lot but Kendrick is legitimately the GOAT. This man made an album so personal and reflective. Discography is insane and this is album is at the top for me. This album is transformative but not in the way that its used in cliches. It really transforms people when they listen to it. It has changed my life and my spouses and made us better people and better parents to our children.
I don't understand how anyone can hate on this project, this song especially, people don't understand what it takes to make such timeless music, God bless you Kdot this is amazing.
right after making the most realist song on the album. Don't ever think Kendrick doesnt set the songs in order. Right after the most realist and historic song, he puts this song.
His music is powerful, I heard Lorde called him the greatest and most influential artist of our time I totally agree, I don’t even listen or like rap too much but I have loved Kendrick for over 10 years. Kendrick actually makes moving art
Talvez eu esteja falando pra ninguém, mas não consigo ouvir essa música sem chorar. Eu me divorciei de uma mulher que era tudo pra mim porque não aguentei a barra das responsabilidades. É coisa fácil dizer pros outros o que fazer, só a gente entende a própria vida que vive, mas, seja você quem for às vezes é sobre estar presente, segurar as pontas, até pedir perdão, chorar, aceitar os próprios sentimentos pra seguir em frente.
This song is about to be on repeat! Perfect summer sound. I'm already picturing windows down, California breeze blowing, blasting this in the car.. The sound is perfect.
