Delving into the tempting allure of fame and fortune, Kendrick Lamar uses a metaphorical "Lucy" (short for Lucifer) to symbolize the seductive nature of success. This interlude explores the internal struggle he faces, caught between maintaining his integrity and succumbing to the materialistic temptations that come with stardom. The song also highlights his fear of losing touch with his roots and values, represented by references to his hometown Compton. In essence, this track is a reflection on the moral challenges that often accompany fame, serving as a reminder that even amidst success, one should stay true to their core values.
For Sale? - Interlude
Lyrics
What's wrong, nigga?
I thought you was keeping it gangsta?
I thought this what you wanted?
They say if you scared, go to church
But remember
He knows the bible too
My baby when I get you, get you, get you, get you
I'ma go hit the throttle with you
Smokin', lokin', pokin' the doja 'til I'm idle with you
'Cause I (want you)
Now baby when I'm riding here, I'm riding dirty
Registration is out of service
Smokin', lokin', drinkin' that potion, you can see me swervin'
'Cause I (want you)
I want you more than you know
I remember you took me to the mall last week, baby
You looked me in my eyes about four-five times
'Til I was hypnotized, then you clarified
That I (want you)
You said Sherane ain't got nothing on Lucy
I said, "You crazy"
Roses are red, violets are blue, but me and you both pushing up daisies if I (want you)
My baby when I get you, get you, get you, get you
I'ma go hit the throttle with you
Smokin', lokin', pokin' the doja 'til I'm idle with you
'Cause I (want you)
You said to me
You said your name was Lucy
I said, "Where's Ricardo?"
You said, "Oh no, not the show"
Then you spit a little rap to me like this
When I turned twenty-six, I was like, "Oh shit"
You said to me
I remember what you said too, you said
"My name is Lucy, Kendrick
You introduced me, Kendrick
Usually I don't do this
But I see you and me, Kendrick
Lucy give you no worries
Lucy got million stories
About these rappers that I came after when they was boring
Lucy gone fill your pockets
Lucy gone move your mama out of Compton
Inside the gi-gantic mansion like I promised
Lucy just want your trust and loyalty
Avoiding me?
It's not so easy, I'm at these functions accordingly
Kendrick, Lucy don't slack a minute
Lucy work harder
Lucy gon' call you even when Lucy know you love your Father
I'm Lucy
I loosely heard prayers on your first album truly
Lucy don't mind 'cause at the end of the day you'll pursue me
Lucy go get it, Lucy not timid, Lucy up front
Lucy got paper work on top of paper work
I want you to know that Lucy got you
All your life, I watched you
And now you all grown up, then sign this contract if that's possible"
Get you, get you, get you, get you
I'ma go hit the throttle with you
Smokin', lokin', pokin' the doja 'til I'm idle with you
'Cause I (want you)
Now baby when I'm riding here, I'm riding dirty
Registration is out of service
Smokin', lokin', drinkin' the potion, you can see me swervin'
'Cause I (want you)
I remember, you was conflicted
Misusing your influence, sometimes I did the same
Abusing my power full of resentment
Resentment that turned into a deep depression
Found myself screamin' in the hotel room
I didn't wanna self destruct
The evils of Lucy was all around me
So I went runnin' for answers
Until I came home
