[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar & Anna Wise, Kendrick Lamar]

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 yellin'

Bitch, don't kill my vibe, bitch, don't kill my vibe

Bitch, don't kill my vibe, bitch, don't kill my vibe

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]

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 colorblind is hangin' witcha?

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 makin' 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

[Pre-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]

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

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar & Anna Wise, Kendrick Lamar]

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 yellin'

Bitch, don't kill my vibe, bitch, don't kill my vibe

Bitch, don't kill my vibe, bitch, don't kill my vibe

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]

I'm tryna keep it alive and not compromise the feelin' we love

You're tryna keep it deprived and only cosign 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're 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 yourself, 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

[Pre-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]

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

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar & Anna Wise, Kendrick Lamar]

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 yellin'

Bitch, don't kill my vibe, bitch, don't kill my vibe

Bitch, don't kill my vibe, bitch, don't kill my vibe

[Bridge: Kendrick Lamar & Anna Wise, Anna Wise]

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 waitin' 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 then put that pussy on the pedestal

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar & Anna Wise, Anna Wise]

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

[Skit]

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 your freestyles ready
