[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
You really need some therapy
Real nigga don’t need no therapy, fuck you talkin’ about?
Nah, nah, you sound stupid as fuck
Shit, everybody stupid
Yeah, well, you need to talk to someone
You talk to everyone
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
I come from a generation of home invasions
And I got daddy issues, that’s on me
Everything them four words done taught me
Made Heaven’s bury deep
That man knew a lot
But not enough to keep me past them streets
My life is a plot, twisted from directions that I can’t see
Daddy issues run across my head, told me, “Fuck a foul”
I’m teary-eyed, wanna throw my hands, I won’t think out loud
A foolish pride, if I lose again, won’t go in thе house
I stand outside, laughin’ was my friends, thеy don’t know my life
Daddy issues made me learn losses, I don’t take those well
Momma said that boy is exhausted, he said, “Go fuck yourself”
If he give up now, that’s gon’ cost him, life’s a bitch
You could be a bitch or step out the margin, I got up quick
I’m chargin’ baskets and fallen’ backwards, tryna keep balance
Oh, this the part where mental stability meets talent
Oh, this the part, he breaks my humility just for practice
Tactics we learned together, sore losers forever, daddy issues
[Chorus: Sampha]
Early mornin’ wake ups, practicin’ on day-ups
Tough love, but hold up, no chaser
Need no chaser, need no chaser
Need no chaser, need no chase
Early mornin’ wake ups, practicin’ on day-ups
Tough love, but hold up, no chaser
Need no chaser, need no chaser
Need no chaser, need no chaser
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
I got daddy issues, that’s on me
Lookin’ for I love him, barely emphasizin’ for my relief
A child that grew accustomed, jumping’ up when I scraped my knee
Daddy issues, hear my emotions, never express myself
He momma died, I asked him, “Why?”
Daddy issues, fuck everybody, go get your money, son
So
Daddy issues kept me competitive, that’s a fact, nigga
I don’t give a fuck what’s the narrative, I am that nigga
When Kanye got back with Drake, I was slightly confused
Guess I’m not as mature as I think, got some healin’ to do
Egotistic
What’s the difference when your heart is made of stone?
And your mind is made of gold
I love my father for tellin’ me take off the gloves
And to my partners that figured it out without a father
I salute you, may your blessings be neutral
‘Til then, let’s give the women a break, grown men with daddy issues
[Chorus: Sampha]
Early mornin’ wake ups, practicin’ on day-ups
Tough love, but hold up, no chaser
Need no chaser, need no chaser
Need no chaser, need no chase
Early mornin’ wake ups, practicin’ on day-ups
Tough love, but hold up, no chaser
Need no chaser, need no chaser
Need no chaser, need no chaser
