N95 Songtext
von Kendrick Lamar

Hello, new world, all the boys and girls
I got some true stories to tell
You′re back outside, but they still lied
Woah-oh-oh-oh (yeah)

Take off the foo-foo, take off the clout chase, take off the Wi-Fi
Take off the money phone, take off the car loan, take off the flex and the white lies
Take off the weird-ass jewelry, I'ma take ten steps, then I′m taking off top five
Take off them fabricated streams and them microwave memes
It's a real world outside (take that sh- off)

Take off your idols, take off the runway, I take off to Cairo (take that sh- off)
Take off to Saint-Tropez, five-day stay, take a quarter mill', hell, if I know (take that sh- off)
Take off the front flag, take off perception, take off the cop with the eye patch (take that sh- off)
Take off the unloyal, take off the unsure, take off decisions I lack (take it off)

Take off the fake deep, take off the fake woke, take off the, "I′m broke, I care" (take it off)
Take off the gossip, take off the new logic that if I′m rich, I'm rare (take it off)
Take off the Chanel, take off the Dolce, take off the Birkin bag (take it off)
Take all that designer bullsh- off, and what do you have?


Huh, huh, ugh
You ugly as f- (you outta pocket)
Huh, two ATMs (hah, hah, hah, hah)
You steppin′ or what? (You outta pocket, huh)
Who you think they talk about?
Talk about us (you outta pocket, shoot, shoot, shoot)
Who you think they copy off? (Brrt, brrt, brrt, brrt)
Copy off us (get back in pocket)

The world in a panic, the women is stranded, the men on a run
The prophets abandoned, the law take advantage, the market is crashin', the industry wants
N- and b- to sleep in a box while they makin′ a mockery followin' us
This ain′t Monopoly, watchin' for love, this ain't monogamy, y′all gettin′ f-

Jumpin' on what the hell is that? I gotta relax when I feel (huh, facts)
All my descendants, they come in my sleep and say I am too real (huh, facts)
I′m done with the sensitive, takin' it personal
Done with the black and the white, the wrong and the right
You hopin′ for change and clericals, I know the feelings that came with burial's cries

Huh, huh, ugh
You ugly as f- (you outta pocket)
Huh, two ATMs (hah, hah, hah, hah)
You steppin′ or what? (You outta pocket, huh)
Who you think they talk about?
Talk about us (you outta pocket, shoot, shoot, shoot)
Who you think they copy off? (Brrt, brrt, brrt, brrt)
Copy off us


Servin' up a look, dancin' in a drought
Hello to the big stepper, never losin′ count
Ventin′ in the safe house
Ventin' in the sa-

Can I vent all my truth? I got nothin′ to lose, I got problems and pools, I can swim on my faith
Cameras movin' whenever I′m movin', the family suin′ whatever I make
Murder is stackin', the president actin', the government taxin′ my funds in the bank
Homies attracting the feds when I′m bracking
Look at my reaction, my pupils on skates (hold up, hold up)

Let's think about this for a second (let′s go)
Tell me what you would do for aesthetic (let's go)
Would you sell your soul on credit? (Let′s go)
Would you sell your bro for leverage? (Let's go)
Where the hypocrites at?
What community feel they the only ones relevant? (Let′s go)
Where the hypocrites at?
What community feel they the only ones relevant? (Let's go)

Huh, huh, ugh
You outta pocket, yeah, you outta pocket (this sh- hard)
You entertain the mediocre, need to stop it (this sh- hard)
You entertainin' old friends when they toxic (this sh- hard)
What your life like? Bullsh- and gossip (this sh- hard)
What the f- is cancel culture, dawg?
Say what I want about you n-, I′m like Oprah, dawg
I treat you crackers like I′m Jigga, watch, I own it all
Oh, you worried 'bout a critic? That ain′t protocol
