Kendrick Lamar, JaVonté - She Needs Me lyrics

One time, reporting live, Compton, California

She go to work, she go
To school, her body smooth, no tattoos
Type of girl that’ll make
Your mother feel comfortable
My pops love her too, she’s compatible
She’s independent she handle her business
She believe in God and no other religions
She's never in competition, when it
Comes to her friends, she's dependable
She set her own trends, a
Confidant, a mediator, so sweet
Every flavor
Just a conversation with her doing you
A favor, look at her hips
I want to be her pager
Conservative, affirmative
Actually she relaxing in sweats
And bobby pins
The beauty of her, a blind man can see
A true queen and she needs me
She needs me, she needs me, she needs me
She needs me
The beauty of her, swear to God
A blind man can see
A true queen and she needs me

That girl is smoking
And can you believe that I'm her focus?
It ain’t hard to see she got me open
And together we are roller-coasting on

Five years later, an accounting major
Work at a firm
Abundance of paper, she got a career
She look in the rear
View mirror of a Mercedes that she can steer
Call her boss, executive
Meetings, consecutive trips
Vacational weekends
Dior reeking through her Prada dress
Probably the only product of her pure success
Got a promotion, now she own the building
Headed to the top like she
On the building, real estate, property
She order tender steak, only
One mouth to feed, funded a youth center
Invested in some stock, doubled
What she put in, then bought a restaurant
Oh what a girl, how great life can
Be, even though she got the world
She needs me
She needs me, she needs me, she needs me
She needs me
Oh what a girl, wonder how her life can
Be, and though she got the world
She needs me

That girl is smoking
And can you believe that I'm her focus?
It ain’t hard to see she got me open
And together we are roller-coasting on

We lose touch, separated, years pass
I’m outdated she’s dating one of
Hollywood’s famous entertainers, denzel good
Paparazzi spot ‘em out shopping
Tuesday morning brunch, benihana's
Tabloids paint a picture of a perfect couple
Headline reads when a famous actor
Loves you, Emmy Awards, academy too
On the red carpet, dress matching his suit
She holding his arm
She waves at her moms and wave at the world
Got the world in her palms
Head in the clouds, star gazing
Caught her on the stage
A proposal was waiting
He bent down, got on one knee
She looked him in the eye
And said she needs me
She needs me, she needs me, she needs me
She needs me even if we seem to separate
Eventually it’ll come to pass
And she’ll need me i need her, we need we

That girl is smoking
And can you believe that I'm her focus?
It ain’t hard to see she got me open
And together we are roller-coasting on
