Collect Calls

[Produced by THC]

[Intro: Kent Jamz]

Look at all the bullshit I been through

If I take you home, will you tell the truth?

Look at all the bullshit I been through

If I take you home, will you tell the truth?

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]

Mama, take this motherfuckin' block off

Tryna reach you every day, collect calls

Never get through, and I go through withdrawals

Say who told you that I wanted this door

To slam shut? I just wanted to vent or

Ask you if you can give me your rent for

A attorney, I can pay you back more

Soon as I get out, yeah, every rack is yours

Commissary running low, I need help

Not too much, I'll hustle up the rest myself

K. Dot wrote me saying Marcus got killed

If you knew me, then you know how bad I feel

Quisha proved me wrong, and never came to visit

And I heard she fucking on some other nigga

And my niggas left me in the dark, blind

Mama, just get back at me this last time

[Pre-Chorus: Kent Jamz]

Men lie, wo- women lie

Men lie, wo- women

Men lie, wo- women lie

Men lie, wo- women

[Chorus: Kent Jamz]

Look at all the bullshit I been through

If I take you home, will you tell the truth?

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]

Mama, take this motherfuckin' block off

Was on a date when they had taped the block off

Pulled up, and they put me in them cop cars

Please believe me, this ain't easy, by far

You forgot you're talking to your only son

'Member when you put me in that relay run?

I was racing, chasing dreams to be the best

You had taught me that the very day I won

All I need is you to give me same support

Investigation saying that the same report

From a witness just might testify in court

D.A. say I take a deal, or take a loss

I ain't built for all them goddamn numbers

God's will; say a prayer for me, mama

If you can't, then open up the phone lines

Mama, just get back at me this last time

[Pre-Chorus: Kent Jamz]

Men lie, wo- women lie

Men lie, wo- women

Men lie, wo- women lie

Men lie, wo- women

[Chorus: Kent Jamz]

Look at all the bullshit I been through

If I take you home, will you tell the truth?

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]

Dante, if I stress to take the block off

That's the day the state had take them locks off

I could only help but do so much

Bettering yourself, your own crutch

Look at your reflection, tell me who you see

Who is your protection? G-O-D

No, it's not neglection, I have just accepted

Your fate and what its gon' be

'Member all the nights that I cried

Thinkin' that my only son just died?

Peekin' through the window, kickin' through the door

It's you they looking for, raid outside

Rather see you locked up than dead

Only you would say that I'm selfish

So before I take the stand and put this Bible in my hand

Son, let me say this

[Pre-Chorus: Kent Jamz]

Men lie, wo- women lie

Men lie, wo- women

Men lie, wo- women lie

Men lie, wo- women

[Chorus: Kent Jamz]

Look at all the bullshit I been through

If I take you home, will you tell the truth?
