[Kendrick Lamar, Tame Impala - Backwards lyrics]
Every part of me says, "Go ahead"
I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again
Feels like we only go backwards darling
And we'll be screamin' out no rules, no rules
Feel the energy we go through, I told you
Pump my fist like I'm supposed to
I showed you
My vision of the unsocial, it's so cool
Look around me and you'll see the scene
Who to blame?
See my generation has no shame
I play the game
How I see it this is inside the future
This is nothin' that you're used to
I refuse to play the victim
My religion is to move ya
Out your power position
My army head-on collision
Can't harm me out of my own skin
Government need assistance
Every time that I zone in
Nothing is more convincin'
Than tellin' you that I won't bend
Break or fake partition
I can't, this is my life design
This is me taking mine's
This is what I live for
This is me takin' yours
This is more than C4
This is what happens when
We ready to build and destroy
I hope that you enjoy
It feels like I only go backwards, lately
Every part of me says, "Go ahead"
I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again
Feels like we only go backwards darling
I live my life a rebel, a vigilante
Devils try to get at me
Pedal through this underworld
Undertakers won't catch me
System ain't no system for justice
If you would ask me
I'll tell you everything is corrupted
Don't you walk past me
With the condescended look I
Can tell you're pretendin'
Like you my friends and you just a henchman
I feel relentless
I feel the tension in the air
Thick enough to cut through it
Or cut you with it
I'm cut from a cloth that bred a nuisance
Trespass on your property I am properly
Aimin' to go against ya democracy
This is me changing faces 'cause
I can stand alone
And die alone as long as I got pride
The victory of fight is all in my eyes
The night is young and I can see your demise
I'm waitin' for it
You can’t ignore it, you live dormant
I die enormous big as the lies you tell I
Can tell that you feel defeated
The truth will set you free and
To me that's the only reason, capisce?
It feels like I only go backwards, lately
Every part of me says, "Go ahead"
I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again
Feels like we only go backwards darling
It feels
