The track highlights the evolving chemistry between these two iconic artists, offering a glimpse into the depth and evolution of their musical connection.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-5\">Here\u2019s a closer look at the lyrics below.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201930 for 30\u2032 Intro<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>I used to think about immature things<br \/>You know, like<br \/>Do you love me? Do you want me?<br \/>Are you gon\u2019 call me like you said you would?<br \/>Is this really your real phone number?<\/i><\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-6\">The intro starts with a sample from Bobby DeBarge, which shows more youthful insecurity, reflecting the thoughts and emotions that often arise in the early stages of a relationship.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201930 for 30\u2032 Chorus<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Some of y\u2019all gon\u2019 get washed (<i>Washed<\/i>)<br \/>Some of y\u2019all just gon\u2019 pop sh*t<br \/>Some of y\u2019all just gon\u2019 talk (<i>Talk<\/i>)<br \/>But none of y\u2019all ain\u2019t really \u2019bout sh*t<br \/>Some of y\u2019all just look lost (<i>Lost, yeah<\/i>)<br \/>I get this type of feeling you ain\u2019t accustomed to<br \/>I swear I\u2019d be at peace if it weren\u2019t for you\u00a0(<i>Yeah, yeah<\/i>)<br \/><i>Only want your love if it\u2019s solid<\/i><br \/>But if it\u2019s f*ck me, then f*ck you (<i>Huh<\/i>)<br \/>And that\u2019s the way I like it<br \/><i>That\u2019s the way I like it<\/i><br \/>And that\u2019s the way I like it<br \/><i>Ain\u2019t crackin\u2019 a smile for none of these b**ches<\/i><br \/>That\u2019s the way I like it<br \/><i>I\u2019m wipin\u2019 \u2019em down in front of they n**ga<\/i><br \/>That\u2019s the way I like it<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\">The chorus then reflects a mix of defiance, self-assurance, and emotional resilience. The two express a sense of being unbothered by superficial actions or people who aren\u2019t truly genuine. The repetition of \u201cThat\u2019s the way I like it\u201d reinforces the confidence in their own values and approach to relationships, suggesting that they value authenticity, self-respect, and strength over superficial approval.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n\t\t<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/feature\/sza-kendrick-lamar-30-for-30-lyrics-breakdown-5356105\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Image Credit: Getty Images for Coachella SZA and Kendrick Lamar have reunited for the track \u201c30 for 30,\u201d featured on her highly anticipated new<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":267249,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[150],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267248"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267248"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267248\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
