I am a sinner who's probably gonna sin again

Lord, forgive me!

Lord, forgive me!

Things I don't understand

Sometimes I need to be alone

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

I can feel your energy from two planets away

I got my drink, I got my music

I would share it, but today I'm yelling

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Look inside of my soul

And you can find gold and maybe get rich

Look inside of your soul and you can find out it never exist

I can feel the changes

I can feel a new life, I always knew life can be dangerous

I can say that I like a challenge and you tell me it's painless

You don't know what pain is

How can I paint this picture

When the color blind is hangin' wit' ya?

Fell on my face and awoke with a scar

Another mistake livin' deep in my heart

Wear it on top of my sleeve in a flick

I can admit that it did look like yours

Why you resent every making of his?

Tell me your purpose is petty again

But even a small lighter can burn a bridge

Even a small lighter can burn a bridge

I can feel the changes

I can feel the new people 'round me just wanna be famous

You can see that my city found me

Then put me on stages, to me that's amazin'

To you that's a quick check

With all disrespect, let me say this

I am a sinner who's probably gonna sin again

Lord, forgive me!

Lord, forgive me!

Things I don't understand

Sometimes I need to be alone

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

I can feel your energy from two planets away

I got my drink, I got my music

I would share it, but today I'm yelling

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

I'm tryna keep it alive

And not compromise the feeling we love

You're tryin' to keep it deprived

And only co-sign what radio does

And I'm lookin' right past ya

We live in a world, we live in a world on two different axles

You live in a world, you livin' behind the mirror

I know what you scared of

The feeling of feeling emotions inferior

This shit is vital, I know you had to

This shit is vital, I know you had to

Die in a pitiful vain, tell me a watch and a chain

Is way more believable, give me a feasible gain

Rather a seasonal name

I'll let the people know this is somethin' you can blame

On yourselves, you can remain stuck in a box

I'ma break out and then hide every lock

I'ma break out and then hide every lock

I can feel the changes

I can feel the new people 'round me just wanna be famous

You can see that my city found me

Then put me on stages, to me that's amazin'

To you that's a quick check

With all disrespect, let me say this

I am a sinner who's probably gonna sin again

Lord, forgive me!

Lord, forgive me!

Things I don't understand

Sometimes I need to be alone

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

I can feel your energy from two planets away

I got my drink, I got my music

I would share it, but today I'm yelling

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

You ain't heard the Coast like this in a long time

Don't you see that long line?

And they waiting on Kendrick like the first and the fifteenth

Threes in the air, I can see you are in sync

Hide your feelings, hide your feelings

Now what you better do

I'll take your girlfriend and put that pussy on a pedestal

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Walk out the door and they scream it's alive

My New Year's resolution is to stop all the pollution

Talk too motherfuckin' much, I got my drink, I got my music

I say bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

Bitch, don't kill my vibe!

K-Dot, get in the car, nigga!

Come on, we finna roll out!

Nigga, I got a pack of blacks and a beat CD

Get yo' freestyles ready!
