What's wrong nigga? I thought you was keeping it gangsta? I thought this what you wanted? They say if you scared go to church But remember He knows the bible too My baby when I get you get you get you get you I'ma go head to ride with you Smoking lokin' poking the deja till I'm idle with you 'Cause I (want you) Now baby when I'm riding here I'm riding dirty Registration is out of service Smoking lokin' drinking the potion you can see me swerving 'Cause I (want you) I want you more than you know I remember you took me to the mall last week baby You looked me in my eyes about 4 5 times Till I was hypnotized then you clarified That I (want you) You said Sherane ain't got nothing on Lucy I said you crazy Roses are red violets are blue but me and you both pushing up daisies if I (want you) My baby when I get you get you get you get you I'ma go head to ride with you Smoking lokin' poking the deja till I'm idle with you 'Cause I (want you) You said to me You said your name was Lucy I said where's Ricardo? You said oh no, not the show Than you spit a little rap to me like this When I turned 26 I was like oh shit You said to me I remember what you said too, you said "My name is Lucy, Kendrick You introduced me Kendrick Usually I don't do this But I see you and me Kendrick Lucy give you no worries Lucy got million stories About these rappers I came after when they was boring Lucy gone fill your pockets Lucy gone move your mama out of Compton Inside the gi-gantic mansion like I promised Lucy just want your trust and loyalty Avoiding me? It's not so easy I'm at these functions accordingly Kendrick, Lucy don't slack a minute Lucy work harder Lucy gone call you even when Lucy know you love your Father I'm Lucy I loosely heard prayers on your first album truly Lucy don't mind 'cause at the end of the day you'll pursue me Lucy go get it, Lucy not timid, Lucy up front Lucy got paper work on top of paper work I want you to know that Lucy got you All your life I watched you And now you all grown up then sign this contract if that's possible" Get you get you get you get you I'ma go head to ride with you Smoking lokin' poking the doja till I'm idle with you 'Cause I (want you) Now baby when I'm riding here I'm riding dirty Registration is out of service Smoking lokin' drinking the potion you can see me swerving 'Cause I (want you) I remembered you was conflicted Misusing your influence, sometimes I did the same Abusing my power full of resentment Resentment that turned into a deep depression Found myself screamin' in the hotel room I didn't wanna self destruct The evils of Lucy was all around me So I went runnin' for answers Until I came home
