Lyrics
I am a sinner who's probably gonna sin again Lord, forgive me! Lord, forgive me! Things I don't understand Sometimes I need to be alone Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! I can feel your energy from two planets away I got my drink, I got my music I would share it, but today I'm yelling Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Look inside of my soul And you can find gold and maybe get rich Look inside of your soul and you can find out it never exist I can feel the changes I can feel a new life, I always knew life can be dangerous I can say that I like a challenge and you tell me it's painless You don't know what pain is How can I paint this picture When the color blind is hangin' wit' ya? Fell on my face and awoke with a scar Another mistake livin' deep in my heart Wear it on top of my sleeve in a flick I can admit that it did look like yours Why you resent every making of his? Tell me your purpose is petty again But even a small lighter can burn a bridge Even a small lighter can burn a bridge I can feel the changes I can feel the new people 'round me just wanna be famous You can see that my city found me Then put me on stages, to me that's amazin' To you that's a quick check With all disrespect, let me say this I am a sinner who's probably gonna sin again Lord, forgive me! Lord, forgive me! Things I don't understand Sometimes I need to be alone Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! I can feel your energy from two planets away I got my drink, I got my music I would share it, but today I'm yelling Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! I'm tryna keep it alive And not compromise the feeling we love You're tryin' to keep it deprived And only co-sign what radio does And I'm lookin' right past ya We live in a world, we live in a world on two different axles You live in a world, you livin' behind the mirror I know what you scared of The feeling of feeling emotions inferior This shit is vital, I know you had to This shit is vital, I know you had to Die in a pitiful vain, tell me a watch and a chain Is way more believable, give me a feasible gain Rather a seasonal name I'll let the people know this is somethin' you can blame On yourselves, you can remain stuck in a box I'ma break out and then hide every lock I'ma break out and then hide every lock I can feel the changes I can feel the new people 'round me just wanna be famous You can see that my city found me Then put me on stages, to me that's amazin' To you that's a quick check With all disrespect, let me say this I am a sinner who's probably gonna sin again Lord, forgive me! Lord, forgive me! Things I don't understand Sometimes I need to be alone Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! I can feel your energy from two planets away I got my drink, I got my music I would share it, but today I'm yelling Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! You ain't heard the Coast like this in a long time Don't you see that long line? And they waiting on Kendrick like the first and the fifteenth Threes in the air, I can see you are in sync Hide your feelings, hide your feelings Now what you better do I'll take your girlfriend and put that pussy on a pedestal Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Walk out the door and they scream it's alive My New Year's resolution is to stop all the pollution Talk too motherfuckin' much, I got my drink, I got my music I say bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! Bitch, don't kill my vibe! K-Dot, get in the car, nigga! Come on, we finna roll out! Nigga, I got a pack of blacks and a beat CD Get yo' freestyles ready!
