Lyrics

Rearview

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]

How can I change the world, but can't change myself?

How can I please the world but not God himself?

How can I have the world, still need some help?

How can I see the world, stuck in this box?

[Chorus: Raphael Saadiq]

I've been trying to figure out my life

I can't see, even in plain sight

Though I cry, my tears don't bring light

Your life is in your rearview

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]

How can I change the world, but can't change myself?

How can I please the world, but not God himself?

How can I lead the world when I'm scared to try?

Why should I need the world? We all gon' die

[Chorus: Raphael Saadiq]

I thank God for giving us this life

The day you're born, someone else dies

All in love, all is in life

Your life is in your rearview

[Outro: Raphael Saadiq]

Your life is in your rearview

Your life is in your rearview

Your life is in your rearview

Your life is in your rearview

Your life is in your rearview

Your life is in your rearview

Your life is in your rearview

Your life is in your rearview

Your life is in your rearview
