In “Crown,” the Compton native Kendrick Lamar gives us insight into his psyche, portraying his deeply conflicted inner-self while performing over a prominent sample from the 2016 song “Through the Night,” by Duval Timothy.
While rapping about his contrasting feelings about being seen and doing his...
[Verse 1]
You walk around like everything is in control
Favor come with favors and you can't say no
Go out the way to make the coin available
That's what I call love
The closest ones afraid to say they need some time
The turnaround is life or death, but you don't mind
Go out the way to say you made the compromise
That's what I call love
[Pre-Chorus]
But the time it'll come to not be there when somebody needs you
You say no and all you've done gives them amnesia
One thing I've learned, love can change with thе seasons
[Chorus]
And I can't please еverybody
No, I can't please everybody
Wait, you can't please everybody
No, I can't please everybody
I can't please everybody
[Verse 2]
They idolize and praise your name across the nation
Tap the feet and nod the head for confirmation
Promise that you keep the music in rotation
That's what I call love (That's what I call love)
[Pre-Chorus]
But the time it'll come (But the time it'll come)
To not be there when somebody needs you (When somebody needs you)
You say no and all you've done gives them amnesia (They don't remember)
One thing I've learned, love can change with the seasons
[Chorus]
And I can't please everybody
No, I can't please everybody
Wait, you can't please everybody
No, I can't please everybody
And I can't please everybody
No, I can't please everybody
Wait, you can't please everybody
No, I can't please everybody
[Bridge]
Heavy is the head that chose to wear the crown
To whom is given much is required now
Heavy is the head that chose to wear the crown
To whom is given much is required now
[Verse 3]
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
Love gon' get you killed (Love gon' get you killed)
Uh, I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
Uh, I can't even please myself (I can't even please myself)
Uh, I thought a new car would help (I thought a new car would help)
Uh, but when that new car get old (But when that new car get old)
Uh, I'm sure to want something else, I-I-I
[Outro]
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please (Everybody), I can't please (Everybody)
I can't please (Everybody), I can't please (Everybody)
I can't please (Everybody), I can't please (Everybody)
I can't please (Everybody), I can't please (Everybody)
I can't please (Everybody), I can't please (Everybody)
Can't please
