00:00Que reflejan tu mirada, la noche tu y yo
00:30I don't know how to make friends, I'm a lonely soul
00:32I recollect this isolation, I was four years old
00:35Truth be told, I've been battling myself
00:37Trying to navigate the real and fake
00:39Cynical about the judgment days
00:40I did past life, progression lines, here and here fuck me up
00:43Reincarnated on this earth, 400 plus
00:46Body after body, lesson after lesson
00:48Let's take it back to Michigan in 1947
00:51My father kicked me out the house, cause I wouldn't listen to him
00:54I didn't care about his influence, only love what I was doing
00:56Gifted as a musician, I played guitar on the grand level
00:59The most talented where I'm from, but I had to rebel
01:02And so I'm off in the sunset, searching for my place in the world
01:05With my guitar up on my hip, that's the story I'm thrilled
01:08I found myself with a pocket full of money and a whole lot of respect
01:11While the record business loved me, I was head of rhythm and blues
01:15The women that fell to their feet, so many to choose
01:17But I manipulated power as I lied to the masses
01:20Died with my money, gluttony was too attractive
01:23Reincarnated
01:29Another life, it placed me as a black woman in a chitlin' circuit
01:37Seductive vocalist, as the promoter hit the curtains
01:40My voice was angelic, straight from heaven, the crowd sobbed
01:42A musical genius, what the articles emphasized
01:45Had everything I wanted, but I couldn't escape addiction
01:47Hair on needles, had me in fetal position, restricted
01:50Turned on my family, I went wherever cameras be
01:53Cocaine, no private planes for my insanity, self-indulge
01:56Discipline never been my sentiments, I needed drugs
01:59To me, an eight-bar was like penicillin', fuck love
02:01My happiness was in that brown sugar
02:03Sex and melodies gave me hope when nobody's looking
02:06My first assistant was a small-town scholar
02:08Never did a Quaalude till I got myself around her
02:11My daddy looked the other way, he saw sin in me
02:14I died with syringes pinched in me
02:16Reincarnated
02:17My present life is Kendrick Lamar
02:28A rapper looking at the lyrics to keep you in awe
02:30The only factor I respected was raising the bar
02:33My instincts sent material straight to the charts
02:36My father kicked me out the house, I finally forgive him
02:39I'm old enough to understand the way I was living
02:41Ego and pride had me looking at him with resentment
02:44I close my eyes, hoping that I don't come off contentious
02:47I'm yelling, father, did I finally get it right?
02:49Everything I did was selfless
02:51I spoke freely when the people needed me, I helped him
02:53I didn't gloat, even told him no
02:55When the vultures came
02:56Took control of my fleshly body when the money changed
02:59Son, you do well, but your heart is closed
03:01I can tell residue that linger from your past creates itself
03:04Father, I'm not perfect, I got urges, but I hold them down
03:06But your pride has to die
03:08Okay, father, show me how
03:09Tell me every deed that you done and what you do it for
03:12I kept 100 institutions paid
03:13Okay, tell me more
03:14I put 100 hoods on one stage
03:16Okay, tell me more
03:17I'm tryna push peace in LA
03:19But you love war
03:20No, I don't
03:20Oh, yes, you do
03:21Okay, then tell me the truth
03:22Every individual is only a version of you
03:25How can they forgive when there's no forgiveness in your heart?
03:28I can tell you where I'm going
03:29I can tell you who you are
03:30You fell out of heaven cause you was anxious
03:33Didn't lack authority, only searched to be heinous
03:35Isaiah 14 was the only thing that was prevalent
03:38My greatest music director was you
03:43It was colors, it was pinks, it was reds, it was blues
03:46It was harmony in motion
03:47I sent you down to earth cause you was broken
03:49Rehabilitation, not psychosis
03:51But now we here now
03:52Centuries you manipulated man with music
03:55Embodies you as superstars to see how you moving
03:57You came a long way from garnishing evilish views
04:00And all I ever wanted from you was love and approval
04:02I learned a lot, no more putting these people in fear
04:05The more that world is diminished, the more it's not real
04:08The more light that I can capture, the more I can feel
04:10I'm using words for inspiration as an idea
04:13So can you promise that you won't take your gifts for granted?
04:16I promise that I use my gifts to bring understanding
04:18In the dark?
