Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
You walk around like everything is in control
Favor come with favors and you can't say no
Go out the way to make the coin available
That's what I call love
The closest ones afraid to say they need some time
The turnaround is life or death, but you don't mind
Go out the way to say you made the compromise
That's what I call love

[Pre-Chorus]
But the time it'll come to not be there when somebody needs you
You say no and all you've done gives them amnesia
One thing I've learned, love can change with thе seasons

[Chorus]
And I can't please еverybody
No, I can't please everybody
Wait, you can't please everybody
No, I can't please everybody
I can't please everybody
[Verse 2]
They idolize and praise your name across the nation
Tap the feet and nod the head for confirmation
Promise that you keep the music in rotation
That's what I call love (That's what I call love)

[Pre-Chorus]
But the time it'll come (But the time it'll come)
To not be there when somebody needs you (When somebody needs you)
You say no and all you've done gives them amnesia (They don't remember)
One thing I've learned, love can change with the seasons

[Chorus]
And I can't please everybody
No, I can't please everybody
Wait, you can't please everybody
No, I can't please everybody
And I can't please everybody
No, I can't please everybody
Wait, you can't please everybody
No, I can't please everybody

[Refrain]
Heavy is the head that chose to wear the crown
To whom is given much is required now
Heavy is the head that chose to wear the crown
To whom is given much is required now
[Verse 3]
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
Love gon' get you killed (Love gon' get you killed)
Uh, I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
Uh, I can't even please myself (I can't even please myself)
Uh, I thought a new car would help (I thought a new car would help)
Uh, but when that new car get old (But when that new car get old)
Uh, I'm sure to want something else, I-I-I

[Outro]
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please everybody (I can't please everybody)
I can't please (Everybody), I can't please (Everybody)
I can't please (Everybody), I can't please (Everybody)
I can't please (Everybody), I can't please (Everybody)
I can't please (Everybody), I can't please (Everybody)
I can't please (Everybody), I can't please (Everybody)
Can't please

The little girl skipping by the men in hazmat suits is so deep to me..

[flyeffectmedia]

“The Last Black Man in San Francisco” is a brilliant film that portrays themes of systemic oppression, gentrification, black masculinity, generational/cultural trauma, and ultimately self identity as a black man in America. To hear Kendrick over these visuals just makes sense because he speaks on those same themes with such profound clarity. Love it.

[TheWreckingball]

This is by far my favourite song on this album. There are very few songs I can relate to. But this is one of them.

[bookofeli]

I was jogging on a trail and this song came on while I was seeing the sun thru the leaves in the trees 🌳. I had to stop and thank God. 1984 until now. Ups and downs, I Thank Thee Supreme Creator 🙏 ❤ 🙌

[ER-qbdb]

Who ever did this. Did a great job. No need for Kendrick to release a video on this song. Shits powerful. The song itself. Nice visuals. I believe Kendrick would grant the fans visuals on this one.

[audioheart]

Vulnerability and truth on this master piece is sky level

[lesterrankin]

The visual speaks everything my boi wake us the fuck up now my Nigga!!

[suspicioussucculent]

What a good edit.. 0:44 always brings tears to my eyes

[lowendrice]

I deadass thought this was an official music video. Really powerful shots and visual story telling going on. I am going to need to watch this movie one day.

[coheedFTMFW]

That little girl keeps going faster and faster running away from the hazmat people made me cry

[heymzz.cookieblacksoulsist]

Kendrick Lamar got me crying right now while .It remind me of my late Big Mama when she us You Can't Please Everybody Child

[TheMonkeyLord-wntz]

This song for some reason made me cry 😭

[amkobra]

I remember something similar to that hug scene. This gang banger related my sister's boyfriend. He came to my sister's upset. They were busy.

He talked and we never talk. He started sharing and I realized he never wanted that life, he just comes from a family of gang bangers. He hugged me and cried. Felt weird when said he loved me, but I think I know what he meant.

He loved that I took the time to care about his problems and his thoughts. I still think about that til this day. I hope his alright.

[euphoriasveryown]

I still revisit this video. Goes perfect with the song and makes tear up it’s so moving

[topnetworkersgroup]

this song fits the visuals so well ... one might think it was the actual video ... one of my favorite songs from Kendrick

[blaanga]

i deadass thought this was the offical video respect 👌

[OsoSwweet]

One of the best on the album and the visuals are stunning! The scene where bro Is weeping made me cry too! Powerful art 🥹

[strawberrysoup]

I remember this. Made me watch last black man. 🌹

Great Video
Let God Speak:
“For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭84:10-12‬ ‭KJV‬‬
