NxWorries - Why Lawd? Lyrics
(Featuring Anderson .Paak, Knxwledge)
ThankU
(Thank you) happiness comes so seldom
(Thank you) and it's comes to me
(Thank you) happiness comes so seldom
(Thank you) and it's comes to me
(Thank you) happiness comes so seldom
If there's one word I've always hated
It's the word, "deserve"
Whenever I see someone less fortunate than me
I say, "There but for the grace of God go , I could've been that nigga"
And whenever I see someone more fortunate than me
I say, "There, because of the grace of God go I, I'd like to try that"
Thank you, God
Thank you for letting me get to be what I got to be
(Alright)

86Sentra
[ Featuring Anderson .Paak, Knxwledge ]
Nigga, it's the top-five lister, double-S drifter
Selvarey sippin' and you know I came with her
If she cute with her lips shut and tits like missiles
Act right, you can get the Nissan Sentra
Nickel-nine gripper for all you Jack Rippers
The driver inside got a license to hit you
Hop up out the pot and get your top ram' licked up
We survived shit you can only catch a whiff of
Locked in way before the top ten
When I had the mutton chops, shades, and the wide brim
On a different wave that I came in the game on
When I levitate, grab my sneakers and hang on
Young, but I still got sons in the game
But they not like the one with a dot in his name
If it's locked in, it's gotta be Knxwledge who made it
The wildest applause when we hop on these stages
Gon' get your Teflon vest on
But once we let off this tracklist, that shit gon' blow your chest off
When the last time that you heard a sound this hard?
Compliments of Knxwledge and the motherf*ckin' (yes, Lawd)
And we can go toe-to-toe, anyone you know
Young or old'll get drove in the hearses
I just did the Super Bowl halftime show with the GOATs
Why the f*ck would I wanna do a Verzuz?
That's like comparin' tee-ball to the MLB
Y'all out of your league, we not the same person
I'll be doin' this 'til I'm 'bout eighty-six, old as a bitch
Holdin' my dick, f*ckin' on the nurses

KeepHer
Money won't keep her
Money won't keep her
You know what they say
They say you gonna pay either way (pay to play)
And if this was made to be
Such a lovely dream
Why would you wanna wake me up? (Ooh)
You drove the knife through my pride
There's no more words to say but goodbye
How you gon' compare me to this guy?
He don't love you the way I
You don't look good in that Honda, bitch
You supposed to be with me
I put that on the Jesus piece (goddamn)
You said you needed peace (oh)
Then spent the week in Greece (oh)
Phone off, you said you was sleep (oh)
I know you was getting your cheeks beat, bitch (no, no)
Jetlag when you show up (show up)
Cullinan with a chauffeur (chauffeur)
All I wanna do is spoil ya (spoil ya)
But you know that the money won't keep her (the money won't keep her)
Too late for a prenup
Bouquets don't mean nothin' (mean nothin')
Double C's on the sneakers (sneakers)
But you know that the money won't keep her (the money won't keep her)
No, no, no (money won't keep her)
The money won't keep her (money won't keep her)
No, no, no, no (money won't keep her)
The money won't keep her (the money won't)
You put the pain in my eyes
There's no more tears to cry, I'm all dry
I pack my bags, but if you don't mind, don't mind
Let's make love for the last time, then goodbye
You supposed to be with me
I put that on the Jesus piece (goddamn)
You said you needed peace (oh)
Then spent the week in Greece (oh)
Phone off, you said you was sleep (oh)
I know you was getting your cheeks beat, bitch (no, no)
Jetlag when you show up (show up)
Cullinan with a chauffeur (chauffeur)
All I wanna do is spoil ya (spoil ya)
But you know that the money won't keep her (the money won't keep her)
Too late for a prenup
Bouquets don't mean nothin' (mean nothin')
Double C's on the sneakers (sneakers)
But you know that the money won't keep her (the money won't keep her)
No, no, no, no (money won't keep her)
The money won't keep her (money won't keep her)
No, no, no, no (money won't keep her)
The money won't keep her (money won't keep her)
No, no, no, no (money won't keep her)
The money won't keep her
No, no, no, no (money won't keep her)
The money
You say you're losin' yourself to me
You used to love when I sweep you off your feet
Bitch (oh, damn)
Bringing out the worst in me
The side no one wants to see
I can see why I drank so much
'Cause I wasn't tryna thank you much
You said I changed too much
I think I done said too much, bitch

Distractions
I don't need no more distractions
But I'm gassed to see what might happen
One pass can grab me all access
Two glasses filled with old-fashioned
Tree leaves Luigi green
Passion drinks and seaweed, you high? I got snacks
Four keeps I play like Maurice
My bitch a lil' freak, she plays me like Candice
G5 the weed from Los Angeles
Sick mind I think I need counseling
Sever ties, they brought some bad habits
Nine lives, a Sphynx, no catfish
Tin man, a heart is what I'm after
One and one, the force is like magnet
Hope twelve don't stop me in traffic
Bad luck I don't need
At thirteen I was playing drums for the Baptist
Counting on you and you counting on me
Numbers don't lie
When the truth is a lie it'll set you free
(Let's get free, you and me, baby)
Counting on you and you counting on me
(That's you and me, baby)
Come be my one and only
Counting on you and you counting on me
Numbers don't lie
When the truth is a lie it'll set you free
(Let's get free, you and me, baby)
Counting on you and you counting on me
(That's you and me, baby)
Come be my one and only
(Why Lawd?)
But I'm gassed to see what might happen
One pass can grab me all access

Where I Go
[Anderson .Paak]
Mm, mm-mm, hmm
Hmm
She wanna know where I've been
And who I seen
She wanna know where I'm goin'
And can we meet? (Oh)
She say I'm so terrible
But this is me (That's not my fault)
I love her from head to toe
And in between (Girl, I love all of you)
I know we do a lot of back and forth
I know we do a lot of fast and slow
You know I'm gon' contradict myself
I know you gon' ride the dick like a pro
I know you got a lot of faith in me
I know you put a lot of things on hold
I hope you got a policy
I know you got a lock on the whole thing
I had to tell you somethin', tell you somethin' before I go
I left a lil' somethin' special in the envelope
I had to mail you somethin', tell me when it's at the door
And when you open it, I hope you get hysterical
I had to share it with somebody that I really trust
So when we celebrate, I'ma hit you up
I had to go and find a runnin' mate who didn't rush
I hope you know it was imperative for both of us
She wanna know where I've been (Where I've been)
And who I seen (Baby, that's no one)
She wanna know where I'm goin'
And can we meet?
She say I'm so terrible (Terrible)

[H.E.R. & Anderson .Paak]
You know that you my motherf*ckin' cinnamon apple (Yeah)
Know that when it come to lovin' you, I'm a natural
Know how much you hurt me, that's in the past though
When I'm all alone, better not be with that ho, oh-oh-oh
I had to deal with your sides and your pieces (Yeah, yeah)
I put two and two together in the sequence
I promise that I'm tryin' not to be on defense
But I'm reminded of it every time you leave
[Anderson .Paak & H.E.R.]
She wanna know where I've been
And who I seen (Baby, where been you goin'?)

But this is me (That's not my fault, don't you call me crazy, don't, don't, baby)
I love her from head to toe (You should know that)
And in between (And girl, I love all of you)
[H.E.R. & Anderson .Paak]
I know we do a lot of back and forth (Yeah)
Lot of fast and slow
Contradict myself (Contradict myself)
I'm gon' suck the dick like a pro (I know it)

Daydreaming
[ Featuring Anderson .Paak, Knxwledge ]
I'll be outside, underneath the balcony
Knew you was mine when you threw down the key
Up all night, tryin' all kinds of things (yeah)
Love of your life, you know that I'm tryna be
Daydreamin', when I met you, never met you
Kiss me, let me know that it's real
Daydreamin', when I met you, can't forget you
Kiss me, let me know that it's real
Girl, you're so fine, shinin' like a diamond ring
Look me in the eyes and tell me you would die for me
Bonnie and Clyde, like it's 2003 (yeah)
Love of your life, you know that I'm gotta be
Daydreamin', when I met you, never met you
Kiss me, let me know that it's real
Daydreamin', when I met you, can't forget you
Kiss me, let me know that it's real
Daydreamin', when I met you, never met you
Kiss me, let me know that it's real
Daydreamin', when I met you, can't forget you
Kiss me, let me know that it's real

FromHere
Where do I go to? Where do I go now? (Oh, where?)
Where? Where? Where do I go?
Where do I go to? Where do I go now? (Ooh, baby, where?)
Where? Where? Where do I go?
Where do I go to? Where do I go now? (Oh, where?)
Where? Where? Where do I go?
Where do I go to? Where do I go now?
Where? Where? Where do I go? (Where do I go?)
Where do I go to? Where do I go now? (Ooh, baby)
When they turn the lights low in the club and it's just
A silhouette
And I don't know why (why? Why? Why?)
Why I haven't left, oh
Everybody's got a little place of they own
But what about you and me? We could be a song (we could be a song)
How about we forget about it? Today's a new day
The club 'bout to shut down
Girl, don't leave me this way, oh, where
Where? Where? Where do I go? (Where do I go?)
Where do I go to? Where do I go from here? (Where do I go?)
Where? Where? Where do I go? (Ain't no other place to go, where? Where?)
Where do I go to? Where do I go now? (When I'm not with you alone) (where do I go?)
Where? Where? Where do I go? (Oh, where?)
Where do I go to? Where do I go from here? (Oh, where?)
Where? Where? Where do I go? (Where do I, where do I)
Where do I go to? (Where do I, where do I)
Where do I go now? (Where do I go from here?) (Ooh, baby)
I'm sittin' in this car, uh (in this car)
Wit' my lil' heart in my hand, ha
Lil' somethin' in my cup (sip, sip, sip, sip)
Back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back slow jams, oh (ooh, baby)
It's a little after three, I wish I had somewhere to be
Someone to see (ooh, baby)
I guess I gotta face my fears
Roll the windows down
I hope the rain hide my tears, bitch, where
Where? Where? Where do I go? (Where do I go?) (Where is the love? Ha)
Where do I go to? Where do I go from here? (You done lock the door and)
Where? Where? Where do I go? (Ain't no other place to go, where?) (Threw away the keys
(All my clothes)
Where do I go to? Where do I go now? (When I'm not with you alone) (standing there just waiting on me)
Where? Where? Where do I go? (Oh, where? Where? Where? Where? Where?)
Where do I go to? Where do I go from here? (Where do I?)
Where? Where? Where do I go? (Where do I, where do I)
Where do I go to? (Where do I, where do I)
Where do I go now? (Where do I go from here?) (Gotta be a place for me, ooh, baby)
They say the worst thing that can happen to a man
Is comin' home to an empty bed (where do I go to? Where do I go now?)
But I beg to differ
I say the worst thing that can happen to a man
Is if his lady gets up and changes the locks
And puts all his clothes on the front door (where do I go to? Where do I go now?)
And now she's nowhere to be found and now you have nowhere to go
What do you go to? What do you do? (Where do I go to? Where do I go now?)
Yeah
This the story of a man (where do I go to?)
You may know that man (where do I go now?)
Man, oh, man
That's life (where do I go to? Where do I go now?)
What do you go to? What do you run to?
Who do you go to? (Where do I go to? Where do I go now?)

Battlefield
Uh-huh
Yeah, uh-huh
Uh-huh
Yeah
It's goin' down
Uh-huh
Yeah, uh-huh
Yeah
Uh-huh
Yeah
It's goin' down, let's go
Daddy was a twin, whipped a Caddy and a Benz
Mama was adopted, finished college in the pen' (right)
Death before dishonor, we was taught as little shrimp (yeah)
And I was only six when I lost the innocence
When I grow up, oh, how I want to learn to roll a spliff (right)
And not the kind that runs like my mind when it drifts (gone)
Remember when you used to hit my line on a whim?
I forward to VM, you go and sing a hymn (word)
When a liver gets sick and there's nothing they can fix
And your heart begins to thaw from years being frostbit (crazy)
And the only thing you want is the one for forgiveness
But ain't we all tryna figure shit we witness?
The summer that we miss, but still gon' ride the whips
Rims got my tires rubbin' like sunscreen on your bitch
And it's dark as the eclipse and they got the vaccine
But gon' make you wait for it, so go get your paper, kid
You know I'll support you and there's nobody else for you
Standin' in the middle of a battlefield
I had to pick a side or be a victim of the tragedy of time, yeah
Who knows? Maybe when it's all over, I can hand the torch over
Standin' in the middle of a battlefield
I had to pick a side or be a victim, yes, it happens all the time, yeah
God, gave me the strength (what?)
'Cause now that I'm a man, my focus and interest (whoa)
Is puttin' out these fires I started in '06 (what else?)
Prayin' that the ghost of my past stay distant (what?)
And knowin' that the cards in my hands is goldfish
I'll call it quits when y'all get off the dick
If we all can't ball then what's the point of it? (What?)
Money gettin' long, I'm savin' up for the kids
Always knew that I would be big as a clock, sister
Who would ever think that we'd find a hole in the system?
Remedy all the symptoms
Got a long list of some things that I gotta get to
But if I don't (what?), Just know it was all meant to (be)
But we far from the endin'
And I can't leave before the Dodger's win a pendant
She got a weave that's strong enough for the grippin'
But I can't see us goin' all nine endings (go long)
Out of the park (fast ball, outta here)
Told 'em from the start, we takin' no shorts
They gon' remember if nothin' else that a nigga was long-winded
And we live from the enterprise (yeah)
Where you get signed or have to improvise (yeah)
Got me a bag and then I realized
Didn't need no cash to make me feel alive
You know I'll support you and there's nobody else for you
Standin' in the middle of a battlefield
I had to pick a side or be a victim of the tragedy of time, yeah
Who knows? Maybe when it's all over, I can hand the torch over
Standin' in the middle of a battlefield
I had to pick a side or be a victim, yes, it happens all the time, yeah
Yeah, uh-huh
Uh-huh
Yeah
It's goin' down
Uh-huh
Yeah, uh-huh
Yeah
Uh-huh
Yeah
It's goin' down, let's go
Daddy was a twin, whipped a Caddy and a Benz
Mama was adopted, finished college in the pen' (right)
Death before dishonor, we was taught as little shrimp (yeah)
And I was only six when I lost the innocence
When I grow up, oh, how I want to learn to roll a spliff (right)
And not the kind that runs like my mind when it drifts (gone)
Remember when you used to hit my line on a whim?
I forward to VM, you go and sing a hymn (word)
When a liver gets sick and there's nothing they can fix
And your heart begins to thaw from years being frostbit (crazy)
And the only thing you want is the one for forgiveness
But ain't we all tryna figure shit we witness?
The summer that we miss, but still gon' ride the whips
Rims got my tires rubbin' like sunscreen on your bitch
And it's dark as the eclipse and they got the vaccine
But gon' make you wait for it, so go get your paper, kid
You know I'll support you and there's nobody else for you
Standin' in the middle of a battlefield
I had to pick a side or be a victim of the tragedy of time, yeah
Who knows? Maybe when it's all over, I can hand the torch over
Standin' in the middle of a battlefield
I had to pick a side or be a victim, yes, it happens all the time, yeah
God, gave me the strength (what?)
'Cause now that I'm a man, my focus and interest (whoa)
Is puttin' out these fires I started in '06 (what else?)
Prayin' that the ghost of my past stay distant (what?)
And knowin' that the cards in my hands is goldfish
I'll call it quits when y'all get off the dick
If we all can't ball then what's the point of it? (What?)
Money gettin' long, I'm savin' up for the kids
Always knew that I would be big as a clock, sister
Who would ever think that we'd find a hole in the system?
Remedy all the symptoms
Got a long list of some things that I gotta get to
But if I don't (what?), Just know it was all meant to (be)
But we far from the endin'
And I can't leave before the Dodger's win a pendant
She got a weave that's strong enough for the grippin'
But I can't see us goin' all nine endings (go long)
Out of the park (fast ball, outta here)

Ooh, you give me heartache, baby
I'm phoning from the plane like a shot to my kidney
What a shame that we never seen Jamaica (yeah, what a shame)
I was 'posed to take the vacation
But flaked on ya, and, uh (what a shame, what a shame)
No one wants to hear my side of things, huh
My own mama called me stupid when I broke the news (no one)
"You's a fool to go and ruin up a good thing" (you's a fool)
I guess I had to lose to fully appreciate (you's a fool, you's a fool)
And now I gots to move 'cause the lease is in your name (I gots to move)
But I'm letting all the hoes know I'm single again (no lie, no lie, I'm single again)
And I'm throwing a little party in DT LA (in DT LA)
Got a brand-new apartment with no roommates (no one)
Tryna start a clean slate (no)
But it's hard to keep face (yah)
But I know I did you dirty (I know I did you)
I just, wanted to say, hey
(Honestly, I just wanted to know how you was doing, I saw you)
(You, you popped up with my, with my bro)
That was my bad, that's honestly my fault (f*ck)
I went and got a young bitch, twenty-one, dumb thick (damn)
But she dumb as a brick with shitty music taste (no one)
I know it's looking like I might be really doing things (no, Lord)
But I ain't doing shit, but looking on your page (my God)
I see you meditating, thriving, and going places
Finally got somebody to take you on vacation (no lie, no lie)
Honestly, I was hoping that was your friend
Taking all the pics and stuff, but nonetheless (no lie)
Um, congratulations, I'm happy for you and shit (no, lie, yeah)
Every time they see me, they saw you (yeah)
Now everybody asking me what the f*ck did I do? (No lie, no lie, shit)
Yo, y'all was actually cute together, what happened, man?
Bro, I already told you (no lie, oh, I)
Why are you raising your voice, man, we're just h-
Why are you bringing it up again? Bro, it's a house rule
My bad, that's actually, actually the first time I brought it up, so
That's what I'm saying, so make me feel warm and shit, bro (let's, ok, alright)
Obviously, we're, that's what we're here for (I told you)
Okay, we'll, uh, uh

Baby
Baby
I understand it was my own fault
I had to find out for myself
All this pain can take its toll on the heart
But I don't do this for my health, yeah, yeah, uh
Beat the pussy up and then I rub your back
But once I bust my nut, I feel so unattached
Told my driver, "Honk the horn when it's early past"
Said I'd be back but won't be mad if this time is the last
Doors open and sh-, I made my timely dash
Cheers to your music career, hope you go triple-plat'
No, we don't be playin' your shit, I'd rather run in traffic (baby)
Guess that's what you get, be careful what you askin' for
I understand it was my own fault
I had to find out for myself
All this pain can take its toll on the heart
But I don't do this for my health
She calls me baby
(Yes, she does) yes, she does
Ooh (baby)
Baby
(Yes, she does) yes, she does
Hey, baby (baby)
(Yes, she does) yes, she does
And she smothers me
And she covers me
With love (baby)
It's the sweetest sound I know
Ooh, baby
And her voice is all for love
Ooh, baby
And her voice is all for love
Ooh, baby
And her voice is all for love

Distant Space
In a distant space (In a distant space)
There's a crowded room (There's a crowd in you)
And when I close my eyes (When I close my eyes)
I still notice you (I still notice you)
What am I to say? (What I say?)
What am I to do? (What I do?)
And is it too late? (Too late, too late, too late)
Want more time with you (More time, more time, more time with you)
In a distant space, there's a crowded room
When I close my eyes, I still notice you
What am I to say, what am I to do?
Too late, too late, too late
More timе, more time, more timе with you
There's a crowded room (There's a crowd in you)
And when I close my eyes (When I close my eyes)
I still notice you (I still notice you)
What am I to say? (What I say?)
What am I to do? (What I do?)
And is it too late? (Too late, too late, too late)
Want more time with you (More time, more time, more time with you)
In a distant space, there's a crowded room
When I close my eyes, I still notice you
What am I to say, what am I to do?
Too late, too late, too late
More timе, more time, more timе with you

WalkOnBy
When you walk on by, you've got shades to hide your eyes
I know you're crying, you was dying
And the pain inside, it got you chasing the same old highs
You couldn't fight it, can't live without it
Nah, I don't cry
It's sad, but shit happens sometimes
What's harder, finding happiness or family ties?
In the loop, it be the beauty with the tragic behind
Nobody has a clue what we had to do to survive
We brothers, so it's nothing when we argue and fight
It's us, against the world until the world unite
Sometimes, I hear your voice, but ain't no one in sight
When you talk, words cut like a knife
But nah, I don't cry
I can't see 'em falling down my eyes
Everybody got a therapist, I'd rather get high
When they ask me how I'm doing, I feel guilty inside
Niggas dying meanwhile, I'm having the time of my life
When you walk on by, you've got shades to hide your eyes
I know you're crying, you was dying
And the pain inside, it got you chasing the same old highs
You couldn't fight it, can't live without it
You mad I made lucrative ties
You in a bind
I'm not, so you feelin' tight
Exuberant heights, the flight long
I'm too busy fried for you and your plight (I'm high) (For real)
Stupid advice I piled on you
You was frugal in life, spent too many nights booted
Lived too many lives
Removed from the strife
You was in tune when I rised, I rose
I suppose what you doin' with your nose in the white, ain't nobody business but your own
Whole time I'm livin' by the code
Roll tide, crimson spillin' out of my soul
'Cause a fissure in the mold
Niggas different that's just how it go
When you walk on by, you've got shades to hide your eyes
I know you're crying, you was dying
And the pain inside, it got you chasing the same old highs
You couldn't fight it, can't live without it
I feel like ain't nobody caring
Everybody's scared
Is there anybody here?
I feel like everybody's staring
But they don't see me here
Am I really by myself?
I feel like ain't nobody caring
Everybody's scared
Is there anybody here?
I feel like everybody's staring
But they don't see me here
Am I really by myself?
When you walk on by, you've got shades to hide your eyes
I know you're crying, you was dying
And the pain inside, it got you chasing the same old highs
You couldn't fight it, can't live without it
