Babylon

[Directed by SZA & APLUSFILMZ]

[Refrain]

Crucify, cru-crucify me

Crucify, cru-cru

[Verse 1: SZA]

I can't recall the last time I took advice from anyone

Shaped like a figure eight, who trusts pretty girls anyway?

And I can't recall the last time I took advice from anyone

I'm sure I'll be the death of me

And I can't recall the last time I took love from anyone

I called Daddy, who's got one anyway? Not me

Are you hating yourself? Do you really hate me?

Are you hating yourself?

[Chorus: SZA]

Was it worth it? Would you do it again?

Aren't you tired (of) always makin' amends? Oh

I know you hate me now (Here)

I bet you hate me now (Here)

Bring on the thorny crown (Here)

Cru—

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]

Cross my heart then I hope to die

With a peace of mind (A peace of mind)

Piece together my brain

Soon as this beat rewinds (Beat rewind)

Nitrogen and propane

I spike your drink at times (Turn up, turn up)

I make it hard to swallow this game

You throw up every line (Every line)

I notice people got Napoleon complexes

That's my confession (Yeah, that)

You said that we're equal, but I know you're beyond guessin'

That I'm beyond desperate (Yeah, that)

6 AM on a Friday mornin', my darkest hours

Them heartless hours, my apartment is lost in a coffin

I'm dead to the world like I popped me a couple downers

Down & Out on my luck

Salt water all on my tux and I call, she don't pick up

Then I fall when summer's endin'

I mean, there's no pretendin'

I'm stuck in my ways, and you're offended, that's life

That's you, this me, that vice

You're wrong, I'm right, that's right

I belong somewhere on ice

I'm cold, and my new blood type?

Even colder, cold shoulder

Born Sinner, you know? Cole showed us!

I have nothin' to lose

My dark side been well in-tuned

A Gemini will show them faces

And this here just one of my moods, Babylon

[Chorus: SZA]

Was it worth it? Would you do it again?

Aren't you tired of always makin' amends?

I know you hate me now (here)

I bet you hate me now (here)

Bring on the thorny crown (here)

Crucify me

[Refrain: SZA]

Crucify, cru-crucify me

Crucify, cru-cru

Crucify, cru-crucify me

Crucify, cru-cru

[Verse 3: SZA]

I'm really over the cryin' thing, wipin' my tears

Who cries anyway? Spread like disease all over me

We did ungodly ghastly things, last night, I mean

Who's God anyway? You're mine any day

It's burning, take me

I wanna feel your power, this final hour, tell me

Are you losing yourself? Will you lose it for me?

Are you losing yourself?

[Chorus: SZA]

Was it worth it? Would you do it again?

Aren't you tired of always makin' amends?

I know you hate me now (Here)

I bet you hate me now (Here)

Bring on the thorny crown (Here)

Crucify me

[Refrain: SZA]

Crucify, cru-crucify me

Crucify, cru-cru

Crucify, cru-crucify me

Crucify, cru-cru
