Kendrick Lamar Rich Spirit

“Rich Spirit” depicts an irreverent Kendrick talking about his own qualities while trying to stand firm against the criticism against him.

Kendrick utilizes ethereal melodies and portrays a different side to Lamar’s customary approach while also debating mortality, loyalty, narcissism, and other themes.

The instrumental features backing vocals from Sam Dew, who is additionally listed as a feature on Disc 2’s “Savior”, which also features Kendricks’ cousin Baby Keem.

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Takin’ my baby to school, then I pray for her
‘Cause you bitches ain’t never been cool, writin’ testament
Paintin’ pictures, put me in the Louvre, that’s a definite
Universal shift, I’m in a groove
And celebrity do not mean integrity, you fool
I’m a good man, shake your hand, firm grip rule
Seventy-two wins, lost ten, ballin’ with the flu
More than two M’s for a show, but add another two
Hmm, lil’ Man-Man, the big mans
The GT Dyno flippin’ the kickstand, ooh

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar and Sam Dew]
Rich nigga, broke phone (Ah)
Tryna keep the balance, I’m stayin’ strong (Ooh)
Stop playin’ with me ‘fore I turn you to a song (Yeah)
Stop playin’ with me ‘fore I turn you to a song (Ooh)
Ayy, bitch, I’m attractive (Ah)
Can’t fuck with you no more, I’m fastin’, ugh (Ooh)
Bitch, I’m attractive (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Can’t fuck with you no more, I’m fastin’, ugh

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
The morality can wait, feedback on low latency, I’m glitching from the face
As my thoughts grow sacredly, I’m runnin’ out of space
Ask Whitney, she okay, never mind a hundred K
Why you lyin’ on Benjamin? He turnin’ in his grave
I’d be lyin’ if I said I wouldn’t give this shit away
The aloof Buddha, I’m Christ with a shooter
Praise to Muhammad, I might nigga noose ya
AP, Michael Friedman, my friends cooler
Primary, so the resale value stupid
I would never live my life on a computer
IG’ll get you life for a chikabooya
More power to ya, love ’em from a distance
Why you always in the mirror more than the bitches?
And my cousin tried to sue me like he got the privilege
But I didn’t lose sleep ’cause I got the spirit, ayy (Ooh)

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar and Sam Dew]
Rich nigga, broke phone (Ah)
Tryna keep the balance, I’m stayin’ strong (Ooh)
Stop playin’ with me ‘fore I turn you to a song (Yeah)
Stop playin’ with me ‘fore I turn you to a song (Ooh)
Ayy, bitch, I’m attractive (Ah)
Can’t fuck with you no more, I’m fastin’, ugh (Ooh)
Bitch, I’m attractive (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Can’t fuck with you no more, I’m fastin’, ugh

[Interlude: Sam Dew]
Dun-duh, dun-duh, dun-duh, duh, dum
Dun-duh-duh, duh, duh
Dun-duh, dun-duh, dun-duh, dun-duh, dun

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
Frat brother, real nigga, that brother
We just upped the score, give me dap, brother
Spirit medium, I don’t rap, brother
We headed there now, are you strapped brother?
Ayy, peacemaker, but I’m not naive, brother
Ayy, gotta watch your homies and police, brother
Ayy, clout chasing hell of a disease, brother
I’m fasting four days out the week, brother
I pray to God that you realize the entourage is dead
I pray to God that you not lackin’ when you off the meds
I pray to God she know them Cabo trips don’t last forever
Bet she argue with her momma, go and get them kids
I pray to God you actually pray when somebody dies
Thoughts and prayers, way better off timelines
False claimin’ not cute, I’m mortified
The new Earth in hot pursuit, two-hundred lives

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar and Sam Dew]
Rich nigga, broke phone (Ah)
Tryna keep the balance, I’m stayin’ strong (Ooh)
Stop playin’ with me ‘fore I turn you to a song (Yeah)
Stop playin’ with me ‘fore I turn you to a song (Ooh)
Ayy, bitch, I’m attractive (Ah)
Can’t fuck with you no more, I’m fastin’, ugh (Ooh)
Bitch, I’m attractive (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Can’t fuck with you no more, I’m fastin’, ugh

[Outro: Sam Dew]
Dun-duh, dun-duh, dun-duh, duh, dum
Dun-duh-duh, duh, duh
Dun-duh, dun-duh, dun-duh, dun-duh, dun
