Kendrick Lamar - LAUGH NOW CRY LATER

Whoa, whoa
Yeah
Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry, but i guess you know now, baby
I took a half and she took the whole thing, slow down, baby
We took a trip, now we on your block and it's like a ghost town, baby
Where do these niggas be at when they say they doing all this and all that?
Tired of beefing you bums, you can't even pay me enough to react
Been waking up in the crib and sometimes i don't even know where i'm at
Please don't play that niggas songs in this party, i can't even listen to that
Anytime that i ran into somebody, it must bе a victory lap, ayy
Shawty come sit on my lap, ayy
They saying drizzy just snapped
Distancе between us is not like a store, this isn't a closeable gap, ayy
I seen some niggas attack
And don't end up making it back
I know that they at the crib going crazy, down bad
What they had didn't last, damn, baby
Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry, but i guess you know now, baby
I took a half and she took the whole thing, slow down, baby
We took a trip, now we on your block and it's like a ghost town, baby
Where do these niggas be at when they say they doing all this and all that?
I'm in the trenches, relax
Can you not play that lil' boy in the club? 'cause we do not listen to rats
We in atlanta, i buy her a wig, she tellin' me tae is the best
Point at that nigga who act like a killer
But you only one from the 'net
I'm like dababy, i'm not just a rapper
You play with me, you gon' get stretched
Ooh-oh
Bring drake to the hood
Surround drake around dracs
Even though i got a case
I'ma do what it take
And i never been embraced
And the money's hard to make
So i bet they on they face right now
I know that they at the crib going crazy, down bad
What they had didn't last, damn, baby
Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry, but i guess you know now, baby
I took a half and she took the whole thing, slow down, baby
We took a trip, now we on your block and it's like a ghost town, baby
Where do these niggas be at when they say they doing all this and all that?
When he tell the story, that's not how it went
Know they be lying, a hundred percent
Moved out the ritz and forgot 'bout the bent'
Valet just called me to tell me come get it
Knocked that boy off and i don't want no credit
If it was me, they wouldn't regret it
Left me for dead and now they wan' dead it, yeah
Heart is still beating
My niggas still eating
Backyard, it look like the garden of eden
Pillow talk with 'em, she spilling the tea
And then shawty came back and said she didn't mean it
It's hard to believe it
I know that they at the crib going crazy, down bad
What they had didn't last, damn, baby
Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry, but i guess you know now, baby
I took a half and she took the whole thing, slow down, baby
We took a trip, now we on your block and it's like a ghost town, baby
Where do these niggas be at when they say they doing all this and all that?
