Far From Here

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]

A nigga so goddamn stressed out

I feel like "fuck everything" right now

See, I've been broke too long, can't find a job to save my life

But I'll be damned if I give 'em my hand out

See, my pride is one thing I will not put aside

I'm too proud to beg, I'm sorry, Left Eye

If I don't make it in life, motherfucker, I tried

What? Uh

[Chorus 1: Kendrick Lamar]

You ever feel like nobody never understands you but you?

Not your momma, your poppa, only person is you

Not your brother, your sister, the only person is you

You ever feel like nobody never understands you but you?

Nobody, nobody but you

So it feels like, like it's only you

[Chorus 2: Kendrick Lamar]

So I'm feeling like I want to, I want to

I want to, I want to go so far from here

Very, very far from here

I need to, I need to

I need to, I need to go so far from here

Very, very far from here

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]

It seems like, you can't win for losing

Whatever you're doing turns out to be "what-are-you-doing?"

Sick of pursuing, that your time will soon come

Nobody knows the position that you in

But it's a million people out there that's going through the same thing

That feeling, hard to explain

When you just, just want to get away

Something like

[Chorus 1: Kendrick Lamar]

You ever feel like nobody never understands you but you?

Not your momma, your poppa, only person is you

Not your brother, your sister, the only person is you

You ever feel like nobody never understands you but you?

Nobody, nobody but you

So it feels like, like it's only you

[Chorus 2: Kendrick Lamar]

So I'm feeling like I want to, I want to

I want to, I want to go so far from here

Very, very far from here

I need to, I need to

I need to, I need to go so far from here

Very, very far from here

[Verse 3: ScHoolboy Q]

Away from it all

Take me out of Hell, where only Heaven can visit

The smartest astronomers, they won't even see my vision

I'm stuck on the studio couch now, thinking 'bout my daughter

Times is getting harder, another beat is slaughtered

Just press record, or

Seems like I need a mill' to keep my shit in order

Instead of problem solving

From my hat to my shoes, spirit laced with pride

Set some shit aside to help me wipe my teary eyes

Reaching for the skies, pissing on a cloud

Shitting on a bird's head, higher than a dread

As I fly through the galaxy, pain and the agony

Nothingness surrounding me

Living my life

Though it's better to write

Configuring my style to the streets, bring dark to the light

So how you feel? My nigga, I keep it real

A Schoolboy soon to be star, Mr. Lamar

[Chorus 2: Kendrick Lamar]

So I'm feeling like I want to, I want to

I want to, I want to go so far from here

Very, very far from here

I need to, I need to

I need to, I need to go so far from here

Very, very far from here
