Title : SWIMMING POOLS

Artist : L KENDRICK LAMAR


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 living their life in bottles

Granddaddy had the golden flask

Back stroke 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 the dark room

Loud tunes, looking to make a vow soon

That I'mma get fucked up, fillin' up my cup

I see the crowd mood

Changing 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'mma 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'mma 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 to me, Kendrick

I'm 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'mma drown in some poison abusin' my limit

I think that I'm feelin' the vibe

I see the love in her eyes, I see the feelin'

The freedom is granted as soon as the damage of vodka arrive

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 then someone said to me



Nigga why you babysittin only two or three shots?

I'mma 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'mma 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'mma 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'mma 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



Aw man, what is she taking?

Where is she taking

All I, all I, all I, all I

All I have in life is my new appetite for failure

And I got Hunger pain that grow insane

Tell me do that sound familiar?

If it do then you're like me

Making excuse that your relief

Is in the bottom of the bottle

And the greenest indo leaf

As the window open

I release everything that corrode inside of me

I see you joking, why you laugh?

Don't you feel bad?

I probably sleep and never ever wake up

Never ever wake up, never ever wake up

In God I trust

But just when I thought I had enough
