Celebrate new life when it come back around
The purpose is in the lessons we learnin' now
Sacrifice personal gain over everything
Just to see the next generation better than ours
That man knew a lot, but not enough to keep me past them streets
My life is a plot, twisted from directions that I can't see
I know the secrets, every other rapper sexually abused
I see 'em daily buryin' they pain in chains and tattoos
I'm sensitive, I feel everything, I feel everybody
One man standin' on two words, heal everybody
Transformation, then reciprocation, karma must return
Heal myself, secrets that I hide, buried in these words
I can't please everybody, not even me
I wanna please God, but my issues too deep
Told myself if I dive in it without precaution of a lifejacket
Then I'll dive in it 'til I am exhausted and I'm type lacking
Waistline on four deep, senses on four deep
Feel like there's four me
My life is like twelve open mics of hopeless notes I write
For sure, my folks unite soon as the flow get nice
The poltergeist that scare emcees, my prototype for every
My share of deeds and R.I.P.s
I get way too petty once you let me do the extras
Pull up on your block, then break it down: we playin' Tetris
AM to the PM, PM to the AM
Piss out your per diem, you just gotta hate 'em
Compton Crip n-ggas ain't nothin' to f-ck with
Bompton Pirus ain't nothin' to f-ck with
Compton éses ain't nothin' to f-ck with
But they f-ck with me, and b-tch I love it
Every day she wake up with a different color makeup
And he promise he gone take her to the movie and the mall
Chillin' with the Laker, on the floor, fourth quarter
Four minute on the clock, Black Mamba with the ball
She eyein' me like a nigga don't exist
Girl, I know you want this dick
Girl, I'm Kendrick Lamar
A.K.A. Benz is to me just a car
The hardest thing for - not only an artist but for anybody to do is look themselves in the mirror and acknowledge, you know, their own flaws and fears and imperfections and put them out there in the open for people to relate to it.
Kendrick LamarNo tarot card reading, I'm foreseeing you n-ggas vanish
Not only from the rap game, I'm including the planet
Cats so watered down clowns can sink Titanic
Tie titanium around their neck and watch em panic
