Love. Lyrics
Damn, love or lust
Damn, all of us
Give me a run for my money
There is nobody, no one to outrun me
So give me a run for my money
Sipping bubbly, feeling lovely, living lovely
Just love me
I wanna be with you, ayy, I wanna be with
I wanna be with you, ayy, I wanna be with
I wanna be with you
If I didn't ride blade on curb, would you still (love me)
If I made up my mind at work would you still (love me)
Keep it a hundred, I'd rather you trust me than to (love me)
Keep it a whole one hund', don't got you I got nothing
Ay, I got something (I got something)
Hol' up, we gon' function, no assumptions
Feeling like Tyson wit' it, knock it out out twice
I'm with it, only for the night, I'm kidding
Only for life, you're a homie for life
You're a homie for life, let's get it
Hit that shoulder lean, I know what comin' over mean
Backstroke oversea, I know what you need
Already on ten, our money come in
All feeling go out, this feeling don't drought
This party won't end
If I didn't ride blade on curb, would you still (love me)
If I made up my mind at work would you still (love me)
Keep it a hundred, I'd rather you trust me than to (love me)
Keep it a whole one hund', don't got you I got nothing
Give me a run for my money
There is nobody, no one to outrun me
So give me a run for my money
Sipping bubbly, feeling lovely, living lovely
Just love me
I wanna be with you, ayy, I wanna be with
I wanna be with you, ayy, I wanna be with
I wanna be with you
I'm on the way
We ain't got no time to waste
Popping your gum on the way
Am I in the way?
I don't want to pressure you none
I want your blessing today
Oh by the way, open the door by the way
Told you that I'm on the way
I'm on the way, I know connection is vague
Pick up the phone for me babe
Dammit, we jammin'
Bad attitude for your nanny
Curvin' your hit from yo' mammy
Remember Gardena, I took the studio camera
I know Top will be mad at me
I had to do it, I want your body, your music
I bought the big one to prove it
Look what you made
Told you that I'm on the way
I'm like an exit away, yup
If didn't ride blade on curb, would you still (love me)
If I made up my mind at work would you still (love me)
Keep it a hundred, I'd rather you trust me than to (love me)
Keep it a whole one hund', don't got you I got nothing
Give me a run for my money
There is nobody, no one to outrun me
So give me a run for my money
Sipping bubbly, feeling lovely, living lovely
Just love me
I wanna be with you, ayy, I wanna be with
I wanna be with you, ayy, I wanna be with
I wanna be with you
Meaning of Love.
Kendrick Lamar’s “Love” is a dizzying, almost hallucinatory exploration of desire, loyalty, and the fraught complexities of intimacy within a tightly knit circle of friends. The track immediately establishes a competitive energy – “Give me a run for my money,” repeatedly asserting a potent attraction – layered with a hedonistic celebration of luxury (“Sipping bubbly, feeling lovely, living lovely”). However, beneath this surface gloss lies a deep current of vulnerability and insecurity, revealed through the insistent repetition of "If I didn't ride blade on curb, would you still (love me)?”. This question acts as a central anxiety, suggesting past actions – potentially violent or impulsive – that threaten to jeopardize the burgeoning affection. The lyrics grapple with trust, demanding “Keep it a hundred,” and highlighting the precariousness of connection with lines like "I don't want to pressure you none," revealing a desire for genuine acceptance rather than forceful pursuit.
Lamar’s narrative is fragmented and dreamlike, shifting from boastful declarations of affection (“I wanna be with you”) to unsettling imagery – “Bad attitude for your nanny,” “Curvin’ your hit from yo' mammy” – that borders on predatory obsession. The inclusion of seemingly random details like the studio camera and Top’s potential anger adds a layer of unease, suggesting a chaotic environment fueled by ambition and impulsive decisions. Ultimately, "Love" isn't simply about romantic attraction; it’s a portrait of intense, almost toxic bonds forged in shared experiences and anxieties, punctuated by a desperate plea for validation – “I want your blessing today.” The song leaves the listener suspended between the intoxicating allure of connection and the unsettling awareness of its potential fragility.
