[Part 1: Stay Ready] |
|
[Verse 1: Jhene Aiko] |
|
We do not exist in |
|
Any other instant |
|
Here in this dimension |
|
You and I are meant to be |
|
I have waited lifetimes to find you |
|
Now that you're here |
|
I can remind you |
|
Of the things you've been dreamin' |
|
Times two |
|
I promise you |
|
If you just give me 24 |
|
Man, all I need is 24 hours |
|
I promise you'll want plenty more |
|
You've probably been waiting forever |
|
So how does it sound |
|
Us on the ground |
|
Giving you my love? |
|
[Hook 1: Jhene Aiko] |
|
There's no place quite like here |
|
There's no better time than now |
|
You gotta stay ready |
|
There's no place quite like here |
|
There's no better time than now |
|
That's why I stay ready |
|
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar] |
|
Tell me find your spot with the warning that I might slip |
|
And when you climb on top that's the ultimate road trip |
|
Ride on my like your Pac got me thinkin' it's 96' |
|
I can rap on some nineties shit, wrap your leggings around my hip |
|
I'm so hip to it, tourists want to come speculate |
|
But if I stay monogamous promise this kiss will always taste like candy |
|
And yea, it's obvious momma now probably can't stand me |
|
I'm sure they're tired of this look that you have when you're antsy |
|
We gon' fuck around (Mmm), we gon' fuck around |
|
And triple through triplets of babies right now |
|
And that might break the record and no, that don't mean you're fertile |
|
That means we're fucking reckless, plus we don't use protection |
|
I find myself reading old text messages when I'm bored |
|
We find ourselves sexting 'til that connection is restored |
|
I know that sounds immature, but if we never grow up |
|
Then I wish you good luck on the seas that's inside this wall |
|
[Bridge: Jhene Aiko and Kendrick Lamar] |
|
Come to me, come, come to me |
|
Look at what you've done to me |
|
You put a gun to me |
|
Then you brought the sun to me |
|
[Bridge: Kendrick Lamar] |
|
Shine like blood diamonds |
|
Learning to have patience only cause you are timeless |
|
The universe energy doesn't lie |
|
And this chemistry is infinity at a million times |
|
I wrote a million rhymes describing your star power |
|
And after 24 bars, you get 24 hours |
|
[Hook 1] |
|
[Bridge (x2): Jhene Aiko] |
|
All that I know is right now |
|
Nothing's for sure but, right now |
|
Gotta get yours like, right now |
|
[Part 2: What A Life] |
|
[Verse 3: Jhene Aiko] |
|
I been through some shit man |
|
But I be on my shit man |
|
I decided |
|
That what you give |
|
Is what you're given |
|
So I been tryna do it right |
|
I been doin like |
|
Whatever gets me through the night |
|
What a life |
|
I'm steady always on the go |
|
You steady always on the go |
|
We steady losin all control |
|
[Hook 2: Jhene Aiko] |
|
What a life (x4) |
|
[Verse 4: Jhene Aiko] |
|
They say |
|
The truth ain't pretty |
|
But comin from that pretty mouth |
|
The truth is fitting |
|
Cuz you ain't never talkin lout |
|
And you know plenty |
|
Yea you know what I'm talkin bout |
|
Cuz you just get me |
|
Yea you so pretty |
|
If everything is dipped in gold |
|
Then baby it will never grow |
|
Everything sweet ain't sugar coated |
|
[Outro: Jhene Aiko] |
|
What a life (x5) |
|
What a life that I've been given |
|
What a life |
|
What a life that I've been living |
|
What a life |
|
What a life we die to live in |
|
What a life |
