The Mantra – Kendrick Lamar ft. Pharrell Williams

[Intro: Pharrell Williams]
In the way, minus sign niggas in the way
In the way, minus sign niggas in the way, yeah
In the way, minus sign niggas in the way, yeah
In the way, yeah, minus sign niggas in the way

But they will not get none, nah (Ear Drummers)
In the way, yeah, minus sign niggas in the way
Yeah, they will not get nothin’ nah
In the way, yeah, minus sign niggas in the way

Repeat after me
Mike WiLL Made-It

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
They will not get none, nah (In the way)
It’s funny to watch them ‘em there attempt that blocking
But they will not get none, nah (In the way)
He’s watchin’ me (Minus sign niggas in the way)

They will not get none, nah (In the way)
The stars will keep fallin’, like asteroids we ballin’
So they will not get none, nah (In the way)
Watchin’ me (Minus sign niggas in the way, hey)

[Verse 1: Pharrell Williams]
If it ain’t a half a million in the face (In the face)
Far as I’m concerned, it’s in the way (In the way)
If ain’t a half a million when you race (When you race)
Far as I’m concerned, it’s in the way (It’s in the way)

If you good with good, not great (In the way) (Not great)
Far as I’m concerned, it’s in the way (Way)
No remote on the G5 Plane (5 plane)
Far as I’m concerned, it’s in the way (It’s in the way)

You can’t fall back to sleep once you awake (Once you awake)
Far as I’m concerned, it’s in the way (In the way)
You ain’t supposed to worry about it when you pray (When you pray)
Far as I’m concerned, it’s in the way (It’s in the way)

If what you doin’ don’t help you elevate (Elevate)
Far as I’m concerned, it’s in the way (In the way)
If you don’t share the culture, shouldn’t play (When you play) (Way)
Far as I’m concerned, it’s in the way (Hey, hey, hey)

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
They will not get none, nah (In the way)
It’s funny to watch them ‘em there attempt that blocking
But they will not get none, nah (In the way, hey)
He’s watchin’ me (Minus sign niggas in the way)

They will not get none, nah (In the way)
The stars will keep fallin’, like asteroids we ballin’
So they will not get none, nah (In the way)
Watchin’ me (Minus sign niggas in the way)

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
I was down, bad, then my life switched (Then my life switched)
What a crisis, my Black Seville with no license (No license)
I was lifeless, I was deadweight, I was triflin’ (I was triflin’)
Then my eye twitched, then my hand shook, and my fisted balled

Then my right wrist took a risk for us
Saw lightning that made titans (I was triflin’)
With a pitchfork, we ate yo’ food then got bent more
With excitement, big wars on my neck piece

VVS be fightin’, move fast like loose jazz
I gotta race the world and be vibrant
No plates on my scrape, yeah, that’s mando
Massaging the handle left hand on the candle (Huh)

I’m too high profile to drive Lambo, that there is a scandal
That man grab a handful (Huh)
Never been love (Easy), bet I pull up (DP)
I got a thing for her, I wanna f*** (Freaky)

F*** it up, f*** it up, f*** it up, f*** it up, fuckin’ it up (Easy)
I got a thing for her
I mean I get you niggas out the way right now today, you say so
Take the safe and doctor pay ‘em aimin’ ‘fore the case closed

Operate and then meet the player move on then for escrow
Hol’ up wait, since Section 8 that’s on my day to day though
Man-Man don’t shake hand, he pop shit (Out the way)
She stargaze out through the cosmic (Out the way)

Amped up, we blew out the metropolis (Out the way)
And I’ve been too involved, huh (Out the way)
And I got tens on call, huh (Out the way)
And you pretend you ball, huh

I’ma do this for my dawg, you need a life jacket
Throw you in the deep end, that’s now my target practice
Never been love (Easy), bet I pull up (DP)
I got a thing for her

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
They will not get none, nah (In the way)
Yeah, all that they talking, that is blessing blocking
So they will get none, nah (In the way)
He’s watchin’ me (Minus sign niggas in the way)

They will not get none, nah (In the way)
That bulletproof aura, no one got as far you
So they will get nothing off you, yeah (In the way) (Yeah)
Watchin’ me (Minus sign niggas in the way)
