[Intro]
Temperance, temperance, temperance
[Refrain]
I don't need need wrath
I don't need wrath
I don't need need wrath
I don't need wrath
I don't, I don't
[Verse 1]
Ever since my imitation was my invitation to little daydreams
I've been pretty content with my life since then
But wanna take out all my bottled up anger on someone else
But my conscious is tellin' me to stop it and that it's just nonsense
But somebody out there understands it's not about problems
I'm not struggling, ever since the trouble's been bubbling
I've been numb within, something is tеllin' me enough again
[Chorus]
Wrath takin' me for a walk on thе block
Just to put me down with no thoughts
Wrath takin' me for a walk on the block
Just to put me down with no thoughts
[Refrain]
I don't need need wrath
I don't need wrath
I don't need need wrath
I don't need wrath
I don't, I don't
[Verse 2]
Workin' my brain until it sleeps but it can never sleep
'Til my memories work against at me like enemies
Lendin' me some jealousy to get pen and read as anemone
The melody sprainin' my ankles as I'm walkin' and talkin'
Don't be callin' no more tellin' me you ain't got no time
You got time for my wrath, time to get y'all all back, not lyin'
None of you people is to my level, I'm the Kendrick here
This site dead and y'all call it heaven here
I'm the GOAT, I've grinded for enough time to be called God
Why would I lie to myself when you fans all I got
So for y'all dragging me down from my highs
Here, I'm boutta quote me and get up in the sky
[Refrain]
I don't need need wrath
I don't need wrath
I don't need need wrath
I don't need wrath
I don't, I don't
[Chorus]
Wrath takin' me for a walk on the block
Just to put me down with no thoughts
Wrath takin' me for a walk on the block
Just to put me down with no thoughts
[Verse 3]
I'm fed up with this, I should've done it a long time ago
Man, I'm deluding myself for this line to grow
Since beefs was drawin' me like pencil to a pad
Since the times where you needed death row to be bad
Puttin' my verses on paper then writin' them for y'all to read
Movin' reckless inside of heaven with a necklace, no apologies
Analyzation, hate this life, stupid ammateurs tryna take my stride
Takes too much life and power to just stay alive
I'm done with writing, I shouldn't have to prove further
Nine to fives done swept me like an afternoon worker
Stop causing this beef just to stress people out
My words is like Q&As, I say yes and then how
Because I'm a questioner, you tryna get the lesson's word
Little bit of me is a little bit of heat if you tryna get some dirt
[Interlude]
But if I were to say, my fellow citizens
That we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away
From the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall
The length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which
Have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several
Times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision
Better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion
Guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission
To an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering
The atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing heat about
Half that of the temperature of the sun--almost as hot as it is here today--and
Do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade is out--then we must be bold
[Outro]
Yeah, that's what they tellin' me
All that stuff
About getting to the moon
Not about aiming for the stars
But shooting and not letting your guard down
I've been struggling for my entire life
Just to be called privileged
Been on the grind, bettered myself
And still experience this wrath
