No more hiding
I wanna feel sun on my skin
Even if it burns or blinds me
I wanna be purified within
No more hiding
I wanna be in love for real though
Don't care what it costs me
I'll trade anything to feel now
Searching for real, trying for real
Familying for real, lost in the real
Hurting for real, chasing a real
Anything real
Don't gotta say it 'cause I already know, mm
Don't gotta say it 'cause I already know
Everything I love, I gotta let go
Gotta break it if you want it to grow
Had to build everything twice over
Don't tell me 'cause I know
Let go
Let go
No more hiding
I wanna be real me, ugly
No more fake me fighting
I wanna know what's underneath, oh
Mask off, I get more oversized down talkin' face off
Cut myself open to see what I'm made of
I guess I'm guilty of giving out fake love
I'm so fake, f*ck
Crashing for real, trying for real
Earning for real, hurting for real
Passion for real, risky for real
Anything real
Don't gotta say it 'cause I already know, mm
Don't gotta say it 'cause I already know
Everything I love, I gotta let go (let go)
Gotta break it if you want it to grow (let go)
Had to bury everything twice over
Don't ask me 'cause I know
Let go (let go)
(I guess I gotta let go) let go, oh
Let go (let go)
Go and let go (let go)

What Do I Do
Hello?
Last night, you called on accident
Heard you f*ckin' on the other end
It's too late, it'll never be the same again
Too late, never be the same
Said last night was a fluke and you know it
This shit that we doin', so bogus
Can we keep it up?
I'm not strong enough
Boo'd up, got me so screwed up
I wish you all of the best
Even though you with that bitch now
I get emotional, it's time to shut it off
But I still don't wanna kill you now, you so reliable
That's why I ride for you, damn right, I'd die for you

30 For 30
[ Featuring Kendrick Lamar ]
[Bobby DeBarge]
I used to think about immature things
You know, like
Do you love me? Do you want me?
Are you gon' call me like you said you would?
Is this really your real phone number?
[Kendrick Lamar & SZA]
Some of y'all gon' get washed (Washed)
Some of y'all just gon' pop shit
Some of y'all just gon' talk (Talk)
But none of y'all ain't really 'bout shit
Some of y'all just look lost (Lost, yeah)
I get this type of feeling you ain't accustomed to
I swear I'd be at peace if it weren't for you (Yeah, yeah)
Only want your love if it's solid
But if it's f*ck me, then f*ck you (Huh)
And that's the way I like it
That's the way I like it
And that's the way I like it
Ain't crackin' a smile for none of these bitches
That's the way I like it
I'm wipin' 'em down in front of they nigga
That's the way I like it
I'm thirty for thirty, I'm thirty for thirty, I'm thirty for thirty, I'm thirty for thirty, I'm
[SZA]
Chat
Should I fold that bitch, no yoga mat?
Chat
Should I dead that nigga? Don't hit me back
Chat
Should've ran down on you, no questions asked
Chat, chat, they chattin', they chat
When the sun go down, everything make me feel lonely, yeah
Had a lil' side thing, but right now, he's just the homie
Tryna feel good inside, he never wanna hold me
Hype me up, you get me hyped, you my favorite coach
Come press the line
F*cking stress off, that's my only vice
I take it off when he tell me if I'm feelin' fine
I run it up, risk it all like I'm rolling dice
Takin' it all, it's my second life
That's me (That's me)
Passed out in a nigga backseat (Backseat)
Crashed out on a black-sand beach (Uh)
Already know my body
Already know that's me
Bitch shit, then you might get minked
Mink, mink, mink
Only want the love if it's solid
[Kendrick Lamar & SZA]
Some of y'all gon' get washed (Washed)
Some of y'all just gon' pop shit
Some of y'all just gon' talk (Talk)
But none of y'all ain't really 'bout shit
Some of y'all just look lost (Lost, yeah)
I get this type of feeling you ain't accustomed to
I swear I'd be at peace if it weren't for you (Yeah, yeah)
Only want your love if it's solid
But if it's f*ck me, then f*ck you (Huh)
And that's the way I like it
Everything been otay (Otay)
They salute me so damn much, every time I show up, nigga about-face
Everything no cut, I f*ck y'all up, I'm really gon' trip 'bout bae (Mm-mm)
Blow the '87 guts, why they waitin' on us? Tell 'em I was on PCH
You f*ckin' with niggas that's thinkin' they cuter than you, oh
Say you on your cycle, but he on his period too, oh
The tables been turnin' so much, I was thinkin' it's foosball
The tenderness of 'em, mistakin' 'em for some wagyu, oh
Walk, talk like Kenny, like boss
Like Solána, I promise, more buzz, it's a wasp
It's a crater or a spaceship, shut the f*ck up, get lost
No favors, I'll wager whatever you worth, I ball
Somethin' about a conservative, regular girl that still can beat a bitch ass
Thorough as f*ck, don't need your bitch ass
Psychic as f*ck, can read your bitch ass
Zodiac sign, it must be a Gemini moon 'cause, shit, we about to go half
Mistakenly, nobody been in they bag, but how many bodies done been in her bed?
Some of y'all gon' get washed (Washed)
Some of y'all just gon' pop shit
Some of y'all just gon' talk (Talk)
But none of y'all ain't really 'bout shit
Some of y'all just look lost (Lost, yeah)
I get this type of feeling you ain't accustomed to
I swear I'd be at peace if it weren't for you (Yeah, yeah)

Should I dead that nigga, no strings attached?
Chat
Should've ran down on you, no questions asked
Chat, they chattin', they chattin', they chat
[SZA & Kendrick Lamar]
Chat
Do I let him bump his gums or get him whacked?
Chat
Do I take his head off and wear it for fashion?
Chat
Do I do my stuff and take it to the max?
Chat, they chattin', they chattin', they chat

Diamond Boy (DTM)
I need you poolside, you've been on my mind
Wonder if you're all mine, what do it matter anyway? (F*ck it)
I like your soft side, I like you on top
You make my thoughts stop
You make bein' me less hard
'Bout to quit my job
When the dick hit that's just how you gotta do
I'm addicted, that's why I keep callin' you

Usually, I make 'em work so hard (so hard)
But the truth is I'm ruthless about you, why waste more time?
'Cause it's 2 AM and I'm on again, don't look at me like that
'Cause I'm with all this ass, and it's hard to breathe
That dick gon' break my back

Pull back like chiropract', I'm hanging from the ceiling, yeah
And we're callin' back to back, I never caught no feelings, yeah
No, you don't have to ask, I'm always OD
I'm always here, I'ma go to infinity and beyond f*ckin' with me, it's so

Young and fine and dark and handsome
The boy from South Detroit keep bossing
And I can't keep my panties from dropping
He's so fly, fly
Going too fast, don't hurt yourself
I can't keep up with all the lies you tell yourself
You kinda cute, but you're playin' too much, don't play yourself
I'm not the one, but we can still pretend this can be my man
You say you feel different when you with me, tell me anything
Compliment my energy, it's different laying next to me
All I ask is don't make me pull up and get to dumping
You know I can't give no f*cks, you know I'm with all the ruckus, can you?
Young and fine and dark and handsome
The boy West side of Compton came walking in

Took me to Slauson and he slut me out
And when I got a problem, he get to packing

You know I'm hella different from them trickers you been trickin' on

Love to play your ruler, be your Jane
You could be my Tarzan, toss me up
Other hoes is lacking, call me up

Baby, baby, ooh
Love me baby, baby
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I rolled up all my problems
And then I smoked about it
I could've called my mom up
I'd rather f*ck about it
Addicted to the drama
Scorsese baby daddy
Whoa, whoa, oh-oh, woah

Oh, uh-huh, got a brand new reason to spiral out
Oh, uh-huh, in a bad mood, baby, come work me out
Oh, uh-huh, I'ma crash out, baby, don't slow me down
I hate to be the one (be the one)
Hate to be the one doing the most
That's what it takes, though
So can you be the one? (Be the one)
Can you be the one to love me for
You love me for it
I would pretend to do my favorite man, he'd call me tasty
Furious lady, then I wonder if I could do, baby
One day, I'll understand all that it takes to be a lady
Whoa, whoa, oh-oh, whoa, oh
Oh, uh-huh, right there, yeah, just a little further down
Oh, uh-huh, got a brand new reason to spiral out
Oh, uh-huh, on the edge already, don't push me now

Love Me 4 Me
I romanticize the scariest things
Wonder if I die, will I be forgiven for everything?
Probably not, probably shit on my name
Probably spit on my grave, watch it all in the end
Why would I choose to stay? Do it all for my friends?
Do it all 'cause my mama ain't got nobody but me
I owe her everything, got it for everything
Only one's ever saw me for me
Saw me for me, saw me for me
Love me for me, can you love me for me?
Only one's ever saw me for me, love me for me
I remember wanting a diamond ring
Wanted you to define me, I let you pay for everything
Why not? Treated me like a slave
Promise you I'll behave if you let me try again
For you, I'd change my name
For you, I'd kill my fame
For you, I'd be so different, won't recognize my face
Can't wait to go to my grave for you
I look here for you, you never saw me for me
Saw me for me, loved me for me
Loved me for me, saw me for me
You never loved me for me, saw me for me
You never saw me for me, loved me for me
Ooh, love me, love me
Saw me, love me for me
Oh, now I'm tryna love me for me, love me for me
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
(I'd end up tryna love me for me, love me for me)
Wonder if I die, will I be forgiven for everything?
Probably not, probably shit on my name
Probably spit on my grave, watch it all in the end
Why would I choose to stay? Do it all for my friends?
Do it all 'cause my mama ain't got nobody but me
I owe her everything, got it for everything
Only one's ever saw me for me
Saw me for me, saw me for me
Love me for me, can you love me for me?
Only one's ever saw me for me, love me for me
I remember wanting a diamond ring
Wanted you to define me, I let you pay for everything
Why not? Treated me like a slave
Promise you I'll behave if you let me try again
For you, I'd change my name
For you, I'd kill my fame
For you, I'd be so different, won't recognize my face
Can't wait to go to my grave for you
I look here for you, you never saw me for me
Saw me for me, loved me for me
Loved me for me, saw me for me
You never loved me for me, saw me for me
You never saw me for me, loved me for me
Ooh, love me, love me
Saw me, love me for me
Oh, now I'm tryna love me for me, love me for me
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Chill Baby
I've been in and out of town, tryna get out and survive for a month
I'm tired of building walls
I want everybody free, know I gotta start with me
Hard to find the urge to build that wall
Tired of watching people die, literal or figurative
I just want someone to stay around
I don't trust nobody, no, you f*ck anybody now
Doing anything to get around
Woo-ooh, I'm so sick of this shit, damn, and still
Yeah, yeah
I think we found a bit of peace right here
Woo-ooh, I'm so sick of this shit, damn, and still
Yeah, yeah
I think we found a bit of peace right here
Chill, baby, don't go, baby
Chill, baby, don't go, baby
Chill, baby, don't go, baby
Chill, baby, don't go
I've been in and out of town, lies manifesting
Relyin' on the strategy to end up here
What don't kill you make you stronger, that's a lot to keep you going
Defyin' gravity to face my fears
A reminder that's on God, a reminder that I can't stop shit, it's all in motion
I'm showin' patience
In the end, we're all we got, in the end I hope love finds us, that's all I'm sayin'
Woo-ooh, I'm so sick of this shit, damn, and still
Yeah, yeah
I think we found a bit of peace right here
Woo-ooh, I'm so sick of this shit, damn, and still
Yeah, yeah
I think we found a bit of peace right here
Chill, baby, don't go, baby (don't go)
Chill, baby, don't go, baby (don't go)
Chill, baby, don't go, baby (don't go)
Chill, baby, don't go
Chill, baby, don't go, baby (don't go)
Chill, baby, don't go, baby (don't go)
Chill, baby, don't go, baby (don't go)
Chill, baby, don't go
I'm tired of building walls
I want everybody free, know I gotta start with me
Hard to find the urge to build that wall
Tired of watching people die, literal or figurative
I just want someone to stay around
I don't trust nobody, no, you f*ck anybody now
Doing anything to get around
Woo-ooh, I'm so sick of this shit, damn, and still
Yeah, yeah
I think we found a bit of peace right here
Woo-ooh, I'm so sick of this shit, damn, and still
Yeah, yeah
I think we found a bit of peace right here
Chill, baby, don't go, baby
Chill, baby, don't go, baby
Chill, baby, don't go, baby
Chill, baby, don't go
I've been in and out of town, lies manifesting
Relyin' on the strategy to end up here
What don't kill you make you stronger, that's a lot to keep you going
Defyin' gravity to face my fears
A reminder that's on God, a reminder that I can't stop shit, it's all in motion
I'm showin' patience
In the end, we're all we got, in the end I hope love finds us, that's all I'm sayin'
Woo-ooh, I'm so sick of this shit, damn, and still
Yeah, yeah
I think we found a bit of peace right here
Woo-ooh, I'm so sick of this shit, damn, and still
Yeah, yeah
I think we found a bit of peace right here
Chill, baby, don't go, baby (don't go)
Chill, baby, don't go, baby (don't go)
Chill, baby, don't go, baby (don't go)
Chill, baby, don't go
Chill, baby, don't go, baby (don't go)
Chill, baby, don't go, baby (don't go)
Chill, baby, don't go, baby (don't go)
Chill, baby, don't go

My Turn
I don't care about what you seen in me
You were not who you pretend to be
I will regret giving my last, man
I should've let you crash out
Can't believe you blaming me
Stuck by your side, thin, thick, yeah
Even when you was just some side dick, yeah
Put you first even before of my shit, yeah
Life ain't fair, but still, I'm diggin' you, baby
If I let you push me off the ledge too
Yes, I got regrets too
And they say "Life ain't fair"
But it's still forgivin' you, baby
My turn, mine to do the hurtin'
Your turn to man the burden
My turn, 'cause I deserve this
My turn, my turn
My turn, I did the learnin'
Your turn to do the hurtin'
My turn, 'cause I deserve this (my turn)
I ain't tried to call again
Pick me up when you see me
I don't care about no new bitches
I'm on my way, bye again
Hit me back when you wake up, I don't care if you busy
Ooh, I let you do me like a dummy
Had me lookin' like mama raised me on my bummy
Oh, no, I'm focused on nothing but this money
Oh, you about to see how this shit hit without me
If I let you push me off the ledge too
Yes, I got regrets too
And they say life ain't fair
But it's still forgivin' you, baby
My turn, mine to do the hurtin'
Your turn to man the burden
My turn, 'cause I deserve this
My turn, my turn
My turn, I did the learnin'
Your turn to do the hurtin'
My turn, 'cause I deserve this (my turn)
This shit ain't up to you
I decide when I had enough, it's done for you
Pack it up and you keep all of your bitches too
Choosin' up, know what I gotta do
My turn, mine to do the hurtin'
Your turn to man the burden
My turn, 'cause I deserve this
My turn, my turn
My turn, I did the learnin'
Your turn to do the hurtin'
My turn, 'cause I deserve this (my turn)
You were not who you pretend to be
I will regret giving my last, man
I should've let you crash out
Can't believe you blaming me

Crybaby
Maybe
That if you take the backseat, Miss Know-It-All
You'd find a man (find a man)
You got no chill, you can't (ain't go no chill)
Damn, baby, and maybe
If I stop blaming the world for my faults
I could evolve
Maybe the pressure just made me too soft (ooh)
'Cause all I seem to do is (seem to do) get in my way (get in my way)
Then blame you it's just a cycle, rinse, recycle
You're so sick, I'm so sick of me too
Call me Miss Crybaby
Call me Miss Crybaby
It's not my fault (it's not my fault)
It's Murphy's law (it's Murphy's law)
What can go wrong will go wrong
Telling you, crybaby

Oh, you know it
And maybe (maybe)
You should really stop smokin' them Backwoods so you can inch backwards, please
Girl, baby, it's your world, oh
Maybe (maybe)
You should stop focusing all on that negative blocking the positive
Trying to find you my lines, but it's fine I guess
Ruin me every single time
'Cause all I seem to do is get in my way
Dealing with you is just a cycle, I'm so psycho
You so sick, I'm so sick of me too
Call me Miss Crybaby
Call me Miss Crybaby
It's not my fault (it's not my fault)
It's that Murphy's law (it's Murphy's law)
What can go wrong, goin' wrong
Baby, it's crybaby
Oh, it's crybaby
It's not my fault (it's not my fault)
F*ck Murphy's law (it's Murphy's law)
It ain't goin' to what's goin', oh
(It's not the greatest
And I'm still still complainin'
Give it all to live that life)
I know you told stories about me
Most of them awful, all of them true
Here's some for you, yeah, ooh
I know you told stories about me
Most of them awful, all of them true

Kitchen
You know we got a real history
That's no reason I can't choose me
You know that dick been good to me
You make it hard for me to choose me
Dance and then kiss in the kitchen
Makes me forget, I forgive him
Mama told me I don't listen, back again
Crashing out on dreams, like all done
Cursing you solves all my problems
Vacationing in rock bottom, back again
So hard to do the right thing
So hard to do the right thing (oh)
You know we got a real history (ah-ah)

Drive
I been up 'til up midnight, drivin' to nowhere
Bumpin' a slow song, can't get my head clear
I been up 'til sunrise, headed to nowhere
Hopin' that someone's missin' me somewhere
Drivin', just drivin'
Just tryin', just tryna get my head right
It'll all be better when, when I
When I, just gotta get my head right
And it don't hit the same when you're all alone
And the money's insane, I know
But it don't fill the void at all
And I promised my mom I'd do better
But they keep trying me so I'm
With all the bullshit and f*ck it all
I keep pretendin' everyone's as good as me
Shit's so weird I cannot speak
Balled so hard, I think I peaked
All my exes still love me
Call me up, he wanna freak
All my opps lookin' distressed
How you copy then compete?
Oh, you just mad that your nigga want me
Oh, you just mad that we went ten weeks
Oh, you just mad that your ass ain't free
Scared to say shit so you fake ki-ki
Scared to cut a nigga so I left, ski-ski
I ain't scared of shit so I swing my meat
I ain't scared of shit so I let mine go
Pop my shit, 'cause I can, I know
I been up 'til up midnight, drivin' to nowhere (nowhere, nowhere)
Bumpin' a slow song, can't get my head clear
I been up 'til sunrise, headed to nowhere
Hopin' that someone's missin' me somewhere
Drivin', just drivin'
Just tryin', just tryna get my head right
It'll all be better when, when I
When I, just gotta get my head right
And I can't lose my focus, I know if hope is the goal
And I can't succumb like these cum guzzlers at all (nope)
And I know that if love is my purpose
I can't waste energy lookin' for enemies, I just dub it all
I'm anti-beef, half y'all bitches be too cheap
Half a milli when I bling, f*ck I look like, on my knees?
You really just mad 'cause I make it look easy
I'm really this bad, you should see it 3D
Boy, yeah, this bag you should spend it on me
All of my time precious, so be
I been up 'til midnight, drivin' to nowhere (nowhere, nowhere)
Bumpin' a slow song, can't get my head clear
I been up 'til sunrise, headed to nowhere

Saturn
If there's another universe
Please make some noise (noise)
Give me a sign (sign)
This can't be life
If there's a point to losing love
Repeating pain (why?)
It's all the same
I hate this place
Stuck in this paradigm
Don't believe in paradise
This must be what Hell is like
There's got to be more, got to be more
Sick of this head of mine
Intrusive thoughts, they paralyze
Nirvana's not as advertised
There's got to be more, been here before
Ooh (ooh, ooh)
Life's better on Saturn
Got to break this pattern
Of floating away
Ooh (ooh, ooh)
Find something worth saving
It's all for the taking
I always say
I'll be better on Saturn
None of this matters
Dreaming of Saturn, oh
If karma's really real
How am I still here?
Just seems so unfair
I could be wrong though
If there's a point to being good
Then where's my reward?
The good die young and poor
I gave it all I could
Stuck in this terradome
All I see is terrible
Making us hysterical
There's got to be more, got to be more
Sick of this head of mine
Intrusive thoughts, they paralyze
Nirvana's not as advertised
There's got to be more, been here before
Ooh (ooh, ooh)
Life's better on Saturn
Got to break this pattern
Of floating away
Ooh (ooh, ooh)
Find something worth saving
It's all for the taking
I always say
I'll be better on Saturn

The album was supported by the singles "Saturn", released on February 22, and "Drive", released concurrently with the album itself.
Soon after the release of her highly acclaimed and commercially successful second studio album, SOS (2022), SZA began teasing a deluxe edition with a postscript at the end of an Instagram post, where she thanked everyone who helped make the album possible. Reportedly composing the tracklist were ten songs intended for the standard edition, per the information SZA told Most Requested Live in January 2023 and Billboard in February. Later in September, she revealed Lana as the deluxe album's title.
During sessions for Lana, SZA found herself in a healthier mental state than when she recorded her past two albums. Her thinking shifted such that instead of being overly burdened by past hurt, she feels more ready to move on and let go. Finding solace in spiritual activities like meditation and yoga, she said that her growing sense of inner peace reflected in her music and songwriting.
"I'm not identifying with my brokenness ...Yeah, I experienced cruelty. I have to put it down at some point. Piece by piece, my music is shifting because of that, the lighter I get."

Lana's aesthetic centers around nature, in particular insects. SZA first teased the reissue's visuals on May 31, 2024, by sharing her full-body cosplay of one via Instagram. At her BST Hyde Park concert held in June, there were several stage props of various insects, such as a statue of a large ant.
The official cover art for Lana shows SZA as an insect-like creature in streetwear, wearing a yellow camouflage jacket and cargo pants.
In the United States, Lana's first-week streams and downloads helped return SOS to number one on the Billboard 200. Billboard noted that with its album units alone, Lana would have debuted atop the chart if it were released as a separate album, earning 105,000 first-week streaming and tracking-equivalent album units. With the reissue, SOS claimed its 11th non-consecutive week at number one, 22 months after the 10th - the March 4, 2023-dated chart. It therefore broke the record for the longest gap between weeks at number one in the history of the chart.
