[Intro: Pharrell Williams]
In the way
Minus sign niggas in the way
In the way
Minus sign niggas in the way, yeah
In the way
Minus sign niggas in the way, yeah
In the way, yeah
Minus sign niggas in the way
But they will not get none, nah - in the way {"EarDrummers"}
Minus sign niggas in the way
Yeah, they will not get nothin', nah - in the way (in the way! Yeah)
Minus sign niggas in the way (repeat after me, hey)
{"Mike WiLL Made-It"}

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
They will not get none, nah (in the way)
It's funny to watch them 'em there attempt that blockin'
But they will not get none, nah (in the way - hey!)
He's watchin' me (minus sign niggas in the way)
They will not get none, nah (in the way)
The stars will keep fallin', like asteroids we ballin'
So they will not get none, nah (in the way)
Watchin' me (minus sign niggas in the way, hey!)

[Pharrell Williams]
If it ain't a half a million in the face (in the face)
Far as I'm concerned, it's in the way (in the way)
If it ain't a half a million when you race (when you race)
Far as I'm concerned, it's in the way (it's in the waaaaaay)
If you good with good, not great
Far as I'm concerned, it's in the way
No remote on the G5 plane
Far as I'm concerned, it's in the way (it's in the waaaaaay)
You can't fall back to sleep once you awake
Far as I'm concerned, it's in the way
You ain't supposed to worry about it when you pray
Far as I'm concerned, it's in the way (it's in the waaaaaay)
If what you doin' don't help you elevate
Far as I'm concerned, it's in the way
If you don't share the culture, shouldn't play (when you play)
Far as I'm concerned, it's in the way (hey!)

[Chorus]

[Kendrick Lamar]
I was down bad, then my life switched (then my life switched)
What a crisis, my Black Seville with no license (no license)
I was lifeless, I was deadweight, I was triflin' (I was triflin')
Then my eye twitched, then my hand shook, and my fist balled, then my right wrist
took a risk for us, saw lightning that made titans (I was triflin')
With a pitchfork, we ate yo' food then got bent more with excitement
Big wars on my neck piece, VVS be fightin'
Move fast like loose jazz, I gotta race the world and be vibrant
No plates on my scrape, yeah that's mando'
Massagin' the handle, left hand on the candle (huh)
I'm too high profile to drive Lambo
That there is a scandal, that man grab a handful (huh)
Never been loved (easy) bet I pull up (beep beep)
I got a thing for her, I wanna fuck (freaky)
Fuck it up, fuck it up, fuck it up, fuck it up, fuckin' it up (easy)
I got a thing for her
I mean I get you niggas out the way right now today, you say so
Take the safe and doctor pay 'em, aimin' 'fore the case closed
Operate then meet the play, I move on then for escrow
Holdin' weight since Section 8 that's on my day to day though
Man-Man don't shake hand, he pop shit (out the way)
She stargaze out through the cosmic (out the way)
Amped up, we blew out the metropolis (out the way)
And I've been too involved, huh (out the way) and I got tens on call, huh (out the way)
And you pretend you ball, huh, I'ma do this for my dawg, you need a life jacket
Throw you in the deep end, that's now my target practice
Never been loved (easy)
Bet I pull up (beep beep) I got a thing for her

[Outro: Pharrell Williams]
They will not get none, nah (in the way)
Yeah all that they talkin', that is blessing blockin'
So they will not get none, nah (in the way)
He's watchin' me (minus sign niggas in the way)
They will not get none, nah (in the way)
That bulletproof aura, knowin' God is for you
So they will get nothin' off you, yeah (in the way - yeah)
Watchin' me (minus sign niggas in the way)
