Backwards

[Chorus: Kevin Parker] Only go backwards lately Every part of me says, "Go ahead" I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again Feels like we only go backwards, darling [Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar] And we'll be screamin' out no rules, no rules Feel the energy we go through, I told you Pump my fist like I'm supposed to, I showed you My vision of the unsocial, it's so cool Look around me and you'll see the scene, who to blame? See my generation has no shame, I play the game How I see it, this is inside the future, this is nothin' that you're used to I refuse to play the victim, my religion is to move ya Out your power position, my army head-on collision Can't harm me out of my own skin, government need assistance Every time that I zone in, nothin' is more convincin' Than tellin' you that I won't bend, break, or fake partition I can't, this is my life design, this is me takin' mine's This is what I live for, this is me takin' yours This is more than C4, this is what happens when We ready to build and destroy, I hope that you enjoy [Chorus: Kevin Parker] It feels like I only go backwards lately Every part of me says, "Go ahead" I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again Feels like we only go backwards, darling [Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar] I live my life a rebel, a vigilante, devils try to get at me Pedal through this underworld, undertakers won't catch me System ain't no system for justice if you would ask me I'll tell you everything is corrupted, don't you walk past me With the condescended look, I can tell you're pretendin' Like you my friends and you just a henchman, I feel relentless I feel the tension in the air, thick enough to cut through it Or cut you with it, I'm cut from a cloth that bred a nuisance Trespass on your property, I am properly aimin' To go against your democracy, this is me changing faces 'Cause I can stand alone and die alone as long as I got pride The victory of fight is all in my eyes The night is young and I can see your demise, I'm waitin' for it You can't ignore it, you live dormant, I die enormous Big as the lies you tell, I can tell that you feel defeated The truth will set you free and to me that's the only reason, capisce? [Chorus: Kevin Parker] It feels like I only go backwards lately Every part of me says, "Go ahead" I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again Feels like we only go backwards, darling [Outro: Kevin Parker] It feels
