About Die Hard

In a very Nipsey track, Kendrick opens up about his insecurities and struggles involving honesty and sharing in a relationship. He is having doubts as to whether he will still be loved if he opens up, an uncertainty probably built by past traumas and relationships. However, by the end of the song, he accepts that he must overcome his past to reach his best form and be a full-time lover, by letting go and realizing the current relationship is not as empty and this lover is not as unloyal as the ones in the past. .

Die Hard Lyrics

[00:04.60] I pop the pain away, I slide the pain away
[00:06.73] I pop the pain away, I slide the pain away
[00:10.52] I picked you up when you fell and cut your knee
[00:16.74]
[00:19.87] I told you not to cry and held you close to me
[00:24.85]
[00:29.12] I hope I'm not too late to set my demons straight
[00:33.93] I know I made you wait, but how much can you take?
[00:38.65] I hope you see the God in me, I hope you can see
[00:43.53] And if it's up, stay down for me, yeah
[00:46.99] Shimmy, shimmy, coco puff
[00:49.59] Sarafina, flame in us
[00:51.69] Where I'd be without your love?
[00:54.36] Rest your wings and trust, I feel you
[00:56.56] Deep (I know you feel), deep (know you feel)
[00:58.93] Deep (I know you feel), deep (too deep)
[01:01.24] Deep (I know you feel), deep (know you feel)
[01:03.94] Deep (I know you feel), deep
[01:05.72] Do you love me? (Okay) do you trust me? (Okay)
[01:08.37] Can I trust you? (Okay) don't judge me (okay)
[01:10.68] I'ma die hard, it gets ugly (okay)
[01:13.10] Too passionate, it gets ugly (okay)
[01:15.95] (Mm, mm, ah-ah) I wonder where I lost my way
[01:20.50] (Mm, mm, ah-ah) been waiting on your call all day
[01:25.47] Tell me you in my corner right now
[01:27.76] When I fall short, I'm leaning on you to cry out
[01:30.07] We all got enough to lie about
[01:32.67] My truth too complicated to hide now
[01:34.53] Can I open up? Is it safe or not?
[01:36.80] I'm afraid a little, you relate or not?
[01:39.23] Have faith a little, I might take my time
[01:42.10] Ain't no saving face this time
[01:44.82] I hope I'm not too late to set my demons straight
[01:49.93] I know I made you wait, but how much can you take?
[01:54.74] I hope you see the God in me, I hope you can see
[01:59.64] And if it's up, stay down for me, yeah
[02:03.31] Shimmy, shimmy, coco puff
[02:05.76] Sarafina, flame in us
[02:07.98] Where I'd be without your love?
[02:10.36] Rest your wing and trust, I feel you
[02:12.89] Deep (I know you feel), deep (know you feel)
[02:15.07] Deep (I know you feel), deep (too deep)
[02:17.55] Deep (I know you feel), deep (know you feel)
[02:19.88] Deep (I know you feel), deep
[02:21.54] I got some regrets (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[02:25.22] But my past won't keep me from my best (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[02:30.22] Subtle mistakes felt like life or death (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[02:34.78] I wanna see the family stronger, I wanna see the money longer
[02:40.47] You know that I'd die for you
[02:44.84] I get emotional about life
[02:47.06] The lost ones keeping me up at night
[02:49.25] The world be reminding me its danger
[02:51.84] I still risk it all for a stranger
[02:55.70] If I told you who I am, would you use it against me?
[02:58.06] Right or wrong, no stone, just love to send me
[03:01.11] I hope I'm not too late to set my demons straight
[03:06.27] I know I made you wait, but how much can you take?
[03:10.73] I hope you see the God in me, I hope you can see
[03:15.68] And if it's up, stay down for me, yeah
[03:19.31] Baby, you make me, pray for London
[03:26.24] Yeah, 'cause if I want it all without you involved (fucking love you)
[03:32.12] I guess it's all for nothing
[03:35.45]
