    Euphoria Lyrics

    Eurt Si Em Tuoba Yas Yeht GnihtyrevE
    Euphoria

    Them super powers gettin' neutralized, I can only watch in silence
    The famous actor we once knew is lookin' paranoid and now spiralin'
    You're movin' just like a degenerate, every antic is feelin' distasteful
    I calculate you're not as calculated, I can even predict your angle
    Fabricatin' stories on the family front 'cause you heard
    Mr. Morale
    A pathetic master manipulator, I can smell the tales on you now
    You're not a rap artist, you a scam artist with the hopes of being accepted
    Tommy Hilfiger stood out, but FUBU
    Never had been your collection
    I make music that electrify 'em, you make music that pacify 'em
    I can double down on that line, but spare you this time, that's random acts of kindness
    Know you a master manipulator and habitual liar too
    But don't tell no lie about me and
    I won't tell truths 'bout you

    Shoo, shoo, shoo,Shoo, shoo, shoo
    Bee, bee, bee, bee, bee, bee


    Yeah, I'm out the way, yeah, I'm low, okay
    Yeah, the island right here's remote, okay
    I ain't thinkin' about no reaper

    Nigga, I'm reapin' what I sow, okay
    Got a Benjamin and a Jackson all in my house like I'm Joe, okay
    Hellcat, made his homeboys and them type sell they soul, okay
    Everybody wanna be demon 'til they get chipped
    By your throwaway

    And I might do a show a day, once a lame, always a lame
    Oh, you thought the money, the power or fame would make you go away?
    Have you ever played have-you-ever?
    Okay, nigga, let's play

    Have you ever walked your enemy down like with a poker face?
    Have you ever paid five hundred thou' like to an open case?
    Well, I have, and I failed at both, but I came out straight
    I hate when a rapper talk about guns, then somebody die
    They turn into nuns, then hop online, like "Pray for my city"

    He fakin' for likes and digital hugs
    His daddy a killer, he wanna be junior, they must've forgot the shit that they done
    Dementia must run in his family but let it get shaky
    I'll park his son

    The very first time I shot me a Drac', the homie had told me to aim it this way
    I didn't point down enough, today, I'll show you I learned from those mistakes
    Somebody had told me that you got a ring, on God, I'm ready to double the wage
    I'd rather do that than let a Canadian nigga make Pac turn in his grave
    Cutthroat business, you got shit twisted
    What is it? The braids?
    I hurt your feelings? You don't wanna work with me no more? Okay
    It's three G.O.A.T.s left, and I seen two of them kissin' and huggin' on stage
    I love 'em to death, and in eight bars, I'll explain that phrase, huh
    It's nothin' nobody can tell me, huh,I don't wanna talk on no celly, huh
    You know I got language barriers, huh

    It's no accent you can sell me, huh
    Yeah, Cole and Aubrey know I'm a selfish nigga
    The crown is heavy, huh

    I pray they my real friends, if not, I'm YNW Melly
    I don't like you poppin' shit at Pharrell, for him, I inherit the beef
    Yeah, fuck all that pushin' P, let me see you push a T
    You better off spinnin' again on him, you think
     About pushin' me

    He's Terrence Thornton, I'm Terence Crawford, yeah, I'm whoopin' feet
    We ain't gotta get personal, this a friendly fade, you should keep it that way
    I know some shit about niggas that make Gunna
    Wunna look like a saint

    This ain't been about critics, not about gimmicks, not about who the greatest
    It's always been about love and hate, now let me say I'm the biggest hater
    I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress
    I hate the way that you sneak diss, if I catch flight, it's gon' be direct
    We hate the bitches you fuck, 'cause they
     Confuse themself with real women

    And notice, I said "we," it's not just me, I'm what the culture feelin'
    How many more fairytale stories 'bout your life 'til we had enough?
    How many more Black features 'til you finally feel that you're Black enough?
    I like Drake with the melodies
    I don't like Drake when he act tough

    You gon' make a nigga bring back Puff, let me see if Chubbs really crash somethin'
    Yeah, my first one like my last one, it's a classic, you don't have one
    Let your core audience stomach that, then tell 'em where you get your abs from
    V12, it's a fast one, baow-baow-baow, last one

    Headshot for the year, you better walk around like Daft Punk

    Remember?
    Ayy, Top Dawg, who the fuck they think they playin' with?
    Extortion my middle name as soon as you jump off of that plane, bitch
    I'm allergic to the lame shit, only you like bein' famous

    Yachty can't give you no swag neither, I don't give a fuck 'bout who you hang with
    I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress
    Surprised you wanted that feature request
    You know that we got
    Some shit to address

    I even hate when you say the word "nigga," but that's just me, I guess
    Some shit just cringeworthy, it ain't even gotta be deep, I guess
    Still love when you see success, everything
    With me is blessed

    Keep makin' me dance, wavin' my hand, and it won't be no threat
    I'm knowin' they call you The Boy, but where is a man? 'Cause I ain't seen him yet
    Matter fact, I ain't even bleed him yet, can I bleed him? Bet
    When I see you stand by Sexyy Red
     I believe you see two bad bitches

    I believe you don't like women, it's real competition, you might pop ass with 'em
    Let's speak on percentage, show me your splits, I'll make sure I double back with you
    You were signed to a nigga that's signed to a nigga that said he was signed to that nigga
    Try cease and desist on the "Like That" record?

    Ho, what? You ain't like that record?,"Back To Back," I like that record
    I'ma get back to that, for the record
    Why would I call around tryna get dirt on niggas?
     Y'all think all my life is rap?

    That's ho shit, I got a son to raise, but I can see you don't know nothin' 'bout that
    Wakin' him up, know nothin' 'bout that
    And tell him to pray, know nothin' 'bout that

    And givin' him tools to walk through life like day-by-day
    Know nothin' 'bout that

    Teachin' him morals, integrity, discipline, listen, man, you don't know nothin' 'bout that
    Speakin' the truth and consider what God's considerin', you don't know nothin' 'bout that
    Ain't twenty-v-one, it's one-v-twenty if I gotta smack niggas that write with you
    Yeah, bring 'em out too, I'll clean 'em out too

    Tell BEAM that he better stay right with you
    Am I battlin' ghost or AI? Nigga feelin' like Joel Osteen
    Funny, he was in a film called "AI"
    And my sixth sense tellin' me to off him
    I'ma blick niggas all in they coffin,Yeah, OV-ho niggas is dick riders

    Tell 'em run to America, they imitate heritage, they can't imitate this violence
    What I learned is niggas don't like the West Coast
    And I'm fine with it, I'll push the line with it
    Pick a nigga off one at a time with it
    We can be on a three-hour time difference

    Don't speak on the family, crodie,It can get deep in the family, crodie
    Talk about me and my family, crodie?
    Someone gon' bleed in your family, crodie
    I be at New Ho King eatin' fried rice with a dip sauce and blammy, crodie
    Tell me you're cheesin', fam

    We can do this right now on the camera, crodie
    Ayy, fuck y'all niggas, I don't trust y'all niggas
    I wave one finger and thump y'all niggas like mmm

    Field goal, punt y'all niggas, they punk y'all niggas, nobody never took my food
    Whoever that's fuckin' with him, fuck you niggas, and fuck the industry too
    If you take it there, I'm takin' it further
    Psst, that's somethin' you don't wanna do

    Ooh
    We don't wanna hear you say "nigga" no more
    We don't wanna hear you say "nigga" no more

    Stop

    Euphoria Meaning

    In his lyrics, Kendrick Lamar addresses his personal approach to success with a clever wordplay: "Got a Benjamin and a Jackson all in my house like I'm Joe." Here, he refers to money, using the names of prominent figures on U.S. currency—Benjamin Franklin and Andrew Jackson—while also alluding to Joe Jackson, the famous father of the Jackson family. I Hope You Enjoy This euphoria kendrick lyrics This line suggests Kendrick sees himself as a paternal figure within the hip-hop community, perhaps positioning himself as a mentor or authority figure over other artists, including Drake.

    Kendrick doesn't hold back in his criticism of Drake, taking aim at what he perceives as superficiality and a lack of authenticity. He makes this point clear with the line: "Tommy Hilfiger stood out, but FUBU never had been your collection." This highlights Drake's preference for mainstream, trendy brands over those rooted in the African-American community, like FUBU, which stands for "For Us, By Us.
