Whitney Alford/Kendrick Lamar：

You really need some therapy

Real n***a need no therapy f**k you talkin' about

Nah nah you sound stupid as f**k

S**t everybody stupid

Yeah well you need to talk to somebody

Reach out to Eckhart

Kendrick Lamar：

I come from a generation of home invasions

And I got daddy issues that's on me

Everything them four walls had taught me made habits bury deep

That man knew a lot

But not enough to keep me past them streets

My life is a plot twisted from directions that I can't see

Daddy issues ball across my head told me "f**k a foul"

I'm teary-eyed wanna throw my hands I won't think out loud

A foolish pride if I lose again won't go in the house

I stayed outside laughin' with my friends they don't know my life

Daddy issues made me learn losses I don't take those well

Momma said "That boy is exhausted" he said "Go f**k yourself

If he give up now that's gon' cost him life's a b***h

You could be a b***h or step out the margin" I got up quick

I'm chargin' baskets and falling backwards tryna keep balance

Oh this the part where mental stability meets talent

Oh this the part he breaks my humility just for practice

Tactics we learned together sore losers forever daddy issues

Sampha：

Early mornin' wake-ups

Ah

Practicin' on day-offs

Bottled up no chaser

Neat no chaser

Ah day-offs

Tough love

Ah

Bottled up no chaser

Ah

Neat no chaser

Ah

Neat no chaser

Ah

Neat no chaser

Ah

Neat no chaser

Kendrick Lamar/Sampha：

I got daddy issues that's on me

Lookin' for "I love you" rarely empathizin' for my relief

A child that grew accustomed jumping up when I scraped my knee

'Cause if I cried about it he'd surely tell me not to be weak

Daddy issues hid my emotions never expressed myself

Men should never show feelings being sensitive never helped

His momma died I asked him why he goin' back to work so soon

His first reply was "Son that's life the bills got no silver spoon"

Daddy issues f**k everybody go get your money son

Protect yourself trust nobody only your momma'n'em

This made relationships seem cloudy never attached to none

So if you took some likings around me I might reject the love

Daddy issues kept me competitive that's a fact n***a

I don't give a f**k what's the narrative I am that n***a

When Kanye got back with Drake I was slightly confused

Guess I'm not mature as I think got some healin' to do

Egotistic zero-given f**ks and to be specific

Ah

Need assistance with the way I was brought up

Ah ah

What's the difference when your heart is made of stone

And your mind is made of gold

And your tongue is made of sword but it may weaken your soul

My n***as ain't got no daddy grow up overcompensatin'

Learn s**t 'bout bein' a man and disguise it as bein' gangsta

I love my father for tellin' me to take off the gloves

'Cause everything he didn't want was everything I was

And to my partners that figured it out without a father

I salute you may your blessings be neutral to your toddlers

It's crucial they can't stop us if we see the mistakes

'Til then let's give the women a break grown men with daddy issues

Sampha：

Early mornin' wake-ups

Ah

Practicin' on day-offs

Ah day-offs

Tough love

Ah

Bottled up no chaser

Ah

Neat no chaser

Ah

Neat no chaser

Ah

Neat no chaser

Ah

Neat no chaser
