[Intro: Bēkon]Love's gonna get you killedBut pride’s gonna be the death of you and you and meAnd you and you and you and meAnd you and you and you and meAnd you and you and you and me and—[Chorus: Steve Lacy & Kendrick Lamar]Me, I wasn't taught to share, but careIn another life, I surely was thereMe, I wasn't taught to share, but careI care, I care[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldy possessionsFlesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?The better part, the human heart, you love ’em or dissect 'emHappiness or flashiness? How do you serve the question?See, in a perfect world, I would be perfect, worldI don't trust people enough beyond they surface, worldI don't love people enough to put my faith in manI put my faith in these lyrics, hoping I make amendI understand I ain't perfect, I probably won't come aroundThis time I might put you downLast time I ain't give a *****, I still feel the same nowMy feelings might go numb, you're dealing with cold thumbI’m willing to give up a leg and arm and show empathy fromPity parties and functions and you and yoursA perfect world, you probably live another 24I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecureI can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure[Chorus: Steve Lacy & Kendrick Lamar]Me, I wasn't taught to share, but careIn another life, I surely was thereMe, I wasn't taught to share, but careI care, I care[Refrain: Kendrick Lamar & Anna Wise]Maybe I wasn’t thereMaybe I wasn't thereMaybe I wasn't thereMaybe I wasn't there[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]Now, in a perfect world, I probably won't be insensitiveCold as December but never remember what Winter didI wouldn't blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laidSeems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadaysSmiles and cold stares, the temperature goes thereIndigenous disposition, feel like we belong hereI know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk backThe hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost thatSick venom in men and women overcome with prideA perfect world is never perfect, only filled with liesPromises are broken and more resentment come aliveRace barriers make inferior you and ISee, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over richesI'll choose work over *****es, I'll make schools out of prisonI'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one serviceJust to tell 'em we ain't shit, but He's been perfect, world[Chorus: Steve Lacy & Kendrick Lamar]Me, I wasn't taught to share, but careIn another life, I surely was thereMe, I wasn't taught to share, but careI care, I care[Refrain: Kendrick Lamar & Anna Wise]Maybe I wasn't thereMaybe I wasn't thereMaybe I wasn't thereMaybe I wasn't there
