[Intro]
Sentado, Anita y tú

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Me and my b!tch got a complicated relationship
She’s so controlling, I noticed it ain’t no playing with
I met her when I was off the porch as a teenager
She said one day I would right my wrongs and see paper
We started out young, looking for some identity, made a thousand mistakes
But never did we lack chemistry
Wrapping my hand ’round your waist
That was back when you did whatever I say

Dreams of selling narcotics, running blocks, or robbing banks
I was in love with you, didn’t know what it was with you
Kiss you in back of the class just to get a buzz with you
Some n!ggas wanted you, but they weren’t committed
Preoccupied playing John Madden and bulls*itting
Remember when granny died? You looked at me and said, “Baby, dry your eyes”
Depend on me as your relief, let your anger be mine
We was locked in ever since then
So territorial, even took me ‘way from my friends, hmm, hmm

[Chorus: SZA]
Scared of forever, you know nothing else is gon’ pass
I just gotta let you know, woah
Whenever you want me, you got me ’til the end of time
Ooh, just gotta let you know

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Said you gon’ see other people if I didn’t grow with you
Wasn’t no more holding them pistols in front of stores with you
You want reality, not tragedy, for sure, I get you
To tell the truth, I been pretty used to what open-minded people do
In 2014, I went to Africa, baby, you was my passenger
My eyes and ears for all the years the neighborhood had baffled us
Of course I had to wrap it up, I didn’t fully trust you
Fabrication, I disgust you, then you blocked me, I said, “Fu*k you”

[Interlude: SZA & Kendrick Lamar]
N!gga, what?
I gave you life, I breathe the motherfu*king charisma in this b!tch
I bring the blessings, I gave you power
N!gga, I bring the rainfall, I gave you hustle
Then fall right back and love the very moment that I touch you

[Chorus: SZA]
Scared of forever, you know nothing else is gon’ pass
I just gotta let you know
Whenever you want me, you got me ’til the end of time
Ooh, just gotta let you know

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
You were spontaneous, firecracker, plus our love is dangerous
Life of passion, laughing at you lose your temper, slightly crashing
Dumb enough to ill reaction, ain’t no disrespect
Highly sensitive, possess, so protect you, even when it’s tragic
So jealous, hate it when I hit the club to get some b!tches
Wrote ’em off, rather see me hit the church and get religious
Who you fooling? I know what you doing, you my contradiction
‘Member when you caught that body and still wiggled through that sentence?
Loved you more, when you flip and lose your s*it, I hugged you more
It’s s*xy to me, cuss they ass out and hold that grudge some more
Down b!tch, I know your favorite movie, is it Notebook?
So good, if they all sub me, get ’em all booked
My baby boo, you either heal n!ggas or you kill n!ggas
Both is true, it take some tough skin just to deal with you
Logical explanation don’t exist, flipping pages
Chapter after chapter, probably remarry and head to Vegas
B!tches getting marked out, they can’t erase our history
They margins ain’t big enough, they all led by bigotry
My woman and my right hand, my saint and my sin
Ain’t no b!tch like my b!tch ’cause that b!tch been my pen

[Outro: SZA]
Gloria, I wanna take you to euphoria
B!tches want, but they ain’t strong enough
I heard they talking, we notorious
If someone talking on me
I see you, you see me
Both see what we want, oh, oh
I see you, you see me
Both see what we want
