[Intro: Jhene Aiko & Kendrick Lamar]
Where are we going? Why are we slowing down?
 Where are you going? We should be growing now
 (Smoke to it [bad word]  smoke to it [bad word] 
 Where are we going? We should be slowing down
 Where are you going? We should be growing now

 [Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
 That’s what she said to me, that place I used to call home is just a bed to me
We don’t even sleep, neighbors can hear her weep
 Meanwhile I’m in these streets with everybody, I’m trying to get it
 And she know they got me, I watch her feelings watch me
 As they stare me with the saddest eyes of loneliness
 Look each other in the face and barely blink
Tried to make it right but the pen ran out of ink
 So if my letters don’t reach you, I hope these lyrics in sync

 [Hook: Jhene Aiko]
Where are we going? Why are we slowing down?
 Where are you going? We should be growing now

 [Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
 That’s what it said to me but the place I call ambition now dead to me
 Gone and forgotten, I’m off track like Dale Earnhardt, my liver rotten
 Alcoholic tripping, [bad word] bad [bad word] and they got bad intentions
 Club night, guys and dolls, balling out but I’m about to drop the ball
 I’m calling out for help, my engineer called
 Told [bad word] to the studio but I wanna tell nah

 [Hook]

 [Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
That’s what he said to but that place we call Heaven is unfair to me
Only 144 can go, seven billion people on planet Earth today
 Is there something that I don’t know?
I know to follow him rather than follow people or follow vanity
 ‘Cause that means I’m following evil, guess I’m following evil
I should follow cathedral, blessings I need but live like I don’t need you

 [Hook]

 [Verse 4: Kendrick Lamar]
So in conclusion, we all seem to stumble, planning our own demise
 Forgetting the big picture and making it wallet size
 So to what is important in my life, I apologize
 I promise to stay faithful, focused and sanctified
 We all get distracted
The question is would you bounce back or bounce backwards?
 Would you not know how to act or take action? It’s just a part of life
 And if your vision’s impaired, you probably lose it all tonight

 [Outro: Jhene Aiko]
Trying to visualize how to get it right but my vision’s so blurry
 Trying to slow it down, stay close to the ground but we’re always in a hurry
 And if I could make this world stand a little slower then I would
 Then we could grow a little closer, I think we’re getting closer
 I think we’re getting closer…
