About LUST.
“LUST.” is Kendrick’s perspective on the repetitive lifestyle of a “rap star.” Centered around themes of sexual intimacy, Dot explores the monotonous routine of daily life for those with fame and wealth that often involves lust of all forms. Self-reflectively, in the second verse, Kendrick highlights the unquenchable lust people in his position have for luxury, whether it’s unlimited sex, the ability to party with no consequence or relief from financial burden. Regardless, we all have our vices. .
LUST. Lyrics
[00:40.32] I need some water
[00:43.18] Somethin' came over me
[00:45.77] Way too hot to simmer down
[00:48.34] Might as well overheat
[00:50.16] Too close to comfort
[00:53.05] As blood rush my favorite vein
[00:56.14] Heartbeat racin' like a junkie's
[00:58.60] I just need you to want me
[01:00.86] Am I askin' too much?
[01:03.51] Let me put the head in
[01:06.87] Ooh, I don't want more than that
[01:09.73] Girl, I respect the cat
[01:11.49] I promise just a touch
[01:14.01] Let me put the head in, if it's okay
[01:19.85] She said, "It's okay."
[01:22.42] Yeah, I need everybody's motherfuckin' hands up right now
[01:30.11] I need everybody's motherfuckin'
[01:32.36] Door and his Nike Air Rattles
[01:33.76] Rush the fire exit, no time for battles
[01:35.45] Well I, I never expected
[01:36.41] This that new shit
[01:38.27] This that new, new shit
[01:42.72] Wake up in the mornin', thinkin' 'bout money, kick your feet up
[01:45.49] Watch you a comedy, take a shit, then roll some weed up
[01:47.83] Go hit you a lick, go fuck on a bitch
[01:49.42] Don't go to work today, cop you a fit
[01:51.27] Or maybe some kicks and make you—
[01:52.79] Door and his Nike Air Rattles
[01:53.90] Rush the fire exit, no time for battles
[01:55.71] Well I, I never expected
[01:57.62] Wake up in the mornin', thinkin' 'bout money, kick your feet up
[02:00.52] Watch you a comedy— hol' up!
[02:02.60] Wake up in the mornin', thinkin' 'bout money, kick your feet up
[02:05.79] Watch you a comedy, take a shit, then roll some weed up
[02:08.17] Go hit you a lick, go fuck on a bitch, don't go to work today
[02:10.77] Cop you a fit or maybe some kicks and make it work today
[02:13.34] Hang with your homies, stunt on your baby mama
[02:15.22] Sip some lean, go get a pistol, shoot out the window
[02:17.47] Bet your favorite team, play you some Madden
[02:19.11] Go to the club or your mama house
[02:21.12] Whatever you doin', just make it count (I need some water)
[02:23.45] Wake up in the mornin', thinkin' 'bout money, kick your feet up
[02:26.14] Hop in the shower, put on your makeup, lace your weave up
[02:28.61] Touch on yourself, call up your nigga, tell him he ain't shit
[02:31.35] Credit card scam, get you a Visa, make it pay your rent
[02:33.78] Hop on the 'Gram, flex on the bitches that be hatin' on you
[02:36.33] Pop you a pill, call up your bitches, have 'em waitin' on you
[02:39.06] Go to the club, have you some fun, make that ass bounce
[02:41.66] It's whatever, just make it count
[02:42.59] I need some water
[02:45.92] Somethin' came over me
[02:48.56] Way too hot to simmer down
[02:51.07] Might as well overheat
[02:52.75] Too close to comfort
[02:55.66] As blood rush my favorite vein
[02:58.60] Heartbeat racin' like a junkie's
[03:01.17] I just need you to want me
[03:03.23] Am I askin' too much?
[03:06.10] Let me put the head in
[03:09.37] Ooh, I don't want more than that
[03:12.25] Girl, I respect the cat
[03:13.92] I promise just a touch
[03:16.40] Let me put the head in, if it's okay
[03:22.15] She said, "It's okay."
[03:24.71] I wake in the mornin', my head spinnin' from the last night
[03:27.47] Both in the trance, feelings are dead—what a fast life!
[03:30.01] Manager called, the lobby called, it's 11:30
[03:32.56] Did this before, promised myself I'd be a hour early
[03:35.18] Room full of clothes, bag full of money: call it loose change
[03:37.69] Fumbled my jewelry, 100k, I lost a new chain
[03:40.17] Hop on the bird, hit the next city for another M
[03:42.70] Take me a nap and do it again
[03:44.93] We all woke up, tryna tune to the daily news
[03:47.91] Lookin' for confirmation, hopin' election wasn't true
[03:50.51] All of us worried, all of us buried, and our feelings deep
[03:53.08] None of us married to his proposal, make us feel cheap
[03:55.50] Still and sad, distraught and mad, tell the neighbor 'bout it
[03:58.15] Bet they agree, parade the streets with your voice proudly
[04:00.75] Time passin', things change
[04:02.25] Revertin' back to our daily programs, stuck in our ways
[04:05.15] LUST
[04:07.48] Lately, I feel like I been lustin' over the fame
[04:09.52] Lately, we lust on the same routine of shame
[04:11.52] Lately, lately, lately, my lust been heightened (lately)
[04:14.23] Lately, it's all contradiction
[04:15.78] Lately, I'm not here
[04:16.73] Lately, I lust over self
[04:18.20] Lust turn into fear
[04:19.22] Lately, in James 4:4 says
[04:21.33] Friend of the world is enemy of the Lord
[04:23.38] Brace yourself, lust is all yours
[04:25.08] I need some water
[04:27.95] Somethin' came over me
[04:30.60] Way too high to simmer down
[04:33.13] Might as well overheat
[04:34.87] Too close to comfort
