Pour up (drank) Head shot (drank) Sit down (drank) Stand up (drank) Pass out (drank) Wake up (drank) Faded (drank) Faded (drank) Now I done grew up 'round some people livin' their life in bottles Granddaddy had the golden flask, backstroke every day in Chicago Some people like the way it feels Some people wanna kill their sorrows Some people wanna fit in with the popular, that was my problem I was in a dark room, loud tunes Lookin' to make a vow soon That I'ma get fucked up, fillin' up my cup, I see the crowd mood Changin' by the minute And the record on repeat, took a sip, then another sip Then somebody said to me Nigga, why you babysittin' only two or three shots? I'ma show you how to turn it up a notch First you get a swimming pool full of liquor, then you dive in it Pool full of liquor, then you dive in it I wave a few bottles, then I watch 'em all flock All the girls wanna play Baywatch I got a swimming pool full of liquor and they dive in it Pool full of liquor, I'ma dive in it Pour up (drank) Head shot (drank) Sit down (drank) Stand up (drank) Pass out (drank) Wake up (drank) Faded (drank) Faded (drank) Okay, now open your mind up and listen me, Kendrick I am your conscience, if you do not hear me then you will be history, Kendrick I know that you're nauseous right now and I'm hopin' to lead you to victory, Kendrick If I take another one down, I'ma drown in some poison, abusing my limit I think that I'm feelin' the vibe I see the love in her eyes I see the feeling the freedom is granted as soon as the damage of vodka arrived This how you capitalize, this is parental advice, then apparently I'm over-influenced by what you are doin' I thought I was doin' the most 'til someone said to me Nigga, why you babysittin' only two or three shots? I'ma show you how to turn it up a notch First you get a swimming pool full of liquor, then you dive in it Pool full of liquor, then you dive in it I wave a few bottles, then I watch 'em all flock All the girls wanna play Baywatch I got a swimming pool full of liquor and they dive in it Pool full of liquor, I'ma dive in it Pour up (drank) Head shot (drank) Sit down (drank) Stand up (drank) Pass out (drank) Wake up (drank) Faded (drank) Faded (drank) I ride, you ride, bang One chopper, one hundred shots, bang Hop out, do you bang? Two chopper, two hundred shots, bang I ride, you ride, bang One chopper, one hundred shots, bang Hop out, do you, bang? Two chopper, two hundred shots, bang Nigga, why you babysittin' only two or three shots? I'ma show you how to turn it up a notch First you get a swimming pool full of liquor, then you dive in it Pool full of liquor, then you dive in it I wave a few bottles, then I watch 'em all flock All the girls wanna play Baywatch I got a swimming pool full of liquor and they dive in it Pool full of liquor, I'ma dive in it Pour up (drank) Had shot (drank) Sit down (drank) Stand up (drank) Pass out (drank) Wake up (drank) Faded (drank) Faded (drank)
