about

This track is the climax, but in terms of sample layers it's actually pretty barebones. Mostly it's carried by the fact that "i" by Kendrick Lamar is a really really good song (at least the album version is). Recontextualized, I can't help but think of the lyrics being about Trans Stuff. It's a self-acceptance anthem! I mean it's a self-acceptance anthem that samples Despacito but it's still a self-acceptance anthem

lyrics

Is this mic on? (Hey, move this way, this way)
Hey, Hey! Hey! Turn the mic up, c'mon, c'mon
Is the mic on or not? I want the mic
We're bringing up nobody, nobody...
Nobody but the number one rapper in the world
He done traveled all over the world
He came back just to give you some game
All of the little boys and girls, come up here
(One two, one two, what's happening, fool?)
Come right here, this is for you, come on up
Kendrick Lamar, make some noise, brother
I done been through a whole lot
Trial, tribulation, but I know God
The Devil wanna put me in a bow tie
Pray that the holy water don't go dry
As I look around me
So many motherfuckers wanna down me
But an enemigo never drown me
In front of a dirty double-mirror they found me

And (I love myself)
When you lookin' at me, tell me what do you see? (Ba-dee ya, say, do you remember?)
(I love myself)
Ahh, I put a bullet in the back of the back of the head of the police (Ba-dee ya, dancin' in September)
(I love myself)
Illuminated by the hand of God, boy, don't seem shy (Ba-dee ya, never was a cloudy day)
(I love myself)
One day at a time

They wanna say it's a war outside, bomb in the street
Gun in the hood, mob of police
Rock on the corner with a line for the fiend
And a bottle full of lean and a model on the scheme uh
These days of frustration keep y'all on tuck and rotation (Come to the front)
I duck these cold faces, post up fi-fie-fo-fum basis (D-D-Daytrip took it to ten, hey)
Dreams of reality's peace
Blow steam in the face of the beast
Sky could fall down, wind could cry now
Look at me motherfucker I smile- (D-D-Daytrip took it to ten, hey)

And (I love myself) (Ayy, Panini, don't you be a meanie)
When you lookin' at me, tell me what do you see? (Thought you wanted me to go up)
(I love myself)
Ahh, I put a bullet in the back of the back of the head of the police (Why you tryna keep me teeny? I)
(I love myself)
Illuminated— (It's a dream, he wished it on a genie)
All ya'll come to the front, ya'll come up to the front (I got fans finally, ain't you wanting them to see me? I)
(I love myself) (I thought you want this for my life, for my life)
Baby what about you, come on (Said you wanted to see me thrive, you lied)

(Crazy, what you gon' do?)
Lift up your head and keep moving, (Keep moving) turn the mic up
(Haunt you)
Peace to fashion police, I wear my heart
On my sleeve, let the runway start
You know the miserable do love company
What do you want from me and my scars?
Everybody lack confidence, everybody lack confidence
How many times my potential was anonymous?
How many times the city making me promises?
So I promise this, n***a

(I love myself)
When you lookin' at me, tell me what do you see?
(I love myself)
Ahh, I put a bullet in the back of the back of the head of the police
(I love myself)
Illuminated by the hand of God, boy don't seem shy
(I love myself)

Huh (Walk my bare feet) Huh (Walk my bare feet) [Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu] {Just say to me what you want from me}
Huh (Down, down valley deep) Huh (Down, down valley deep) [Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu] {Just say to me what you want from me}
(I love myself) Huh (Fi-fie-fo-fum) Huh (Fi-fie-fo-fum) [Ba duda, badu, ba duda]
(I love myself) Huh (My heart undone) one, two, three

I went to war last night (Blue skies, bouncy springs, we just named two awesome things)
With an automatic weapon, don't nobody call a medic (A Nobel prize, a piece of string)
I'ma do it till I get it right (You know what’s awesome? Everything!)
I went to war last night (Night, night, night, night) (Dogs with fleas, allergies)
I've been dealing with depression ever since an adolescent (A book of Greek antiquities)
Duckin' every other blessin', I can never see the message (Brand new pants, a very old vest, awesome items are the best)
I could never take the lead, I could never bob and weave (Trees, frogs, clogs, they’re awesome)
From a negative and letting them annihilate me (Rocks, clocks, and socks, they’re awesome)
And it's evident I'm moving at a meteor speed (Figs, and jigs, and twigs, that’s awesome)
Finna run into a building, lay my body... (Everything you see or think or say is awesome)

Not on my, not while I'm up here
Not on my time, kill the music, not on my time
We could save that shit for the streets
We could save that shit, this for the kids bro

Ya, ya me está gustando más de lo normal
Todos mis sentidos van pidiendo más
Esto hay que tomarlo sin ningún apuro

Despacito
Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito
Deja que te diga cosas al oído
Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo
Despacito
Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito
Firmar las paredes de tu laberinto
Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito
(Sube, sube, sube, sube, sube)

Quiero ver bailar tu pelo, quiero ser tu ritmo (Woah, woah)
Que le enseñes a mi boca (Woah, woah)
Tus lugares favoritos (Favorito, favorito, baby)
Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro (Woah, woah)
Hasta provocar tus gritos (Woah, woah)
Y que olvides tu apellido
