K-Dot, 30, kicks off the defiant first verse by rapping, “Tell me what you gon’ do to me / Confrontation ain’t nothin’ new to me / You can bring a bullet, bring a sword, bring a morgue / But you can’t bring the truth to me.” SZA, 27, then sings the infectious chorus (“This may be the night that my dreams might let me know / All the stars are closer, all the stars are closer”) before trading verses with the rapper.
