People communicate their views through communication in a variety of ways, including spoken language, written language, and gestures. Music is one way to express unique thoughts, feelings, and emotions through words. This research aims to discover the lexical analysis of SZA's song titled 'Kill Bill'. The researcher employed a qualitative approach. The researchers used the Halliday and Matthiessen theory of lexical cohesion, which focuses on lexical reiteration to conduct the research (repetition, synonym, hyponymy). As a result, the goal of lexical cohesion is mainly to help the reader in acknowledging the song's message or idea.
