Gotta concentrate, against the clock I race
Got no time to waste, I'm already late, I got a marathoner's pace
Went from addict to a workaholic, word to Dr. Dre
In that first marijuana tape - guess I got a chronic case
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
I should’ve let you know, that you’re my only one
I know you’re feeling numb, I'll fuck you 'til you cum
Said, 'I don’t understand, how you don’t got a man'
You want me in your bed, 'cause I've been in your head
I'm cut open, her fingers in all my stab wounds
And if she could she'd probably dance on my grave
Inside my head I see your face
I fuckin' hate that I love you still
Remember when I had that poker
Instead of looking over my shoulder
Forces with a nigga, no Yoda
That mean a young nigga got woo on me
Sharp edges have consequences, I
Guess that I had to find out for myself
Sharp edges have consequences, now
Every scar is a story I can tell
'Don't you run with scissors, son
You're gonna hurt someone'
Mama told me look before you leap
Always think before you speak
And watch the friends you keep
She told me that I'm not enough
And she left me with a broken heart
She fooled me twice and it's all my fault
She cut too deep, now she left me scarred
Lighting stog after stog, I choke on the smoke
They tell me to quit, don't listen what I'm told
They help me forget that this world is so cold
I don't even know what I'm chasin' no more
Every time we make up, the truth is fadin'
Everybody's blind when the view's amazin'
Didn't know that was your girl when she gave me top
Kicked her out the Rolls said, 'Thanks a lot'
Goddamn, I love paper like I'm Michael Scott
I can do things that your man cannot
Hundred thousand dollars on the table top
Half price my whip, same price my watch
Got no jumper, but I ball a lot
Bitch, I'm young Stoney, I do what I want
You got sick thoughts? I got more of 'em
You remember bad bitches that you smashed? I recorded 'em
She said 'fuck weed' 'cause she love X
If she suck seed, that's a success
If a girl cum, that's a fuck fest
And we gon' score 100 on this drug test
I must be like pie crust because I was bred to rise like I was yeast
And you're never gonna reach these heights
They're just too high to reach
And I ain't even reached my fuckin' highest
You ain't dealin' with a fuckin' featherweight
I used to medicate until I'd get a fuckin' bellyache
And now I'm finna step on the pedal, don't wanna ever brake
I wanna accelerate to a level that I can elevate
Demented with the pen, I'll make the motherfucker detonate
I wanna make it acapella - wait, I gotta set a date
With the devil and celebrate, together we can renovate
And re-develop hell awaits, and I'ma get a special place
I'm thicker than peanut butter
He nuttin' like Skippy now
He want me to be his wife
His misses like sippi now, uh
Everybody gets high sometimes, you know
What else can we do when we're feelin' low?
So take a deep breath and let it go
You shouldn't be drowning on your own
You’re so indecisive, what I’m saying
Tryna catch the beat, make up your heart
Don't know if you're happy or complaining
Don't want for us to end, where do I start?
Open up your mind, clear your head
Ain't gotta wake up to an empty bed
Share my life, it's yours to keep
Now that I give to you all of me
No limit in the sky
That I won't fly for ya
No amount of tears in my eyes
That I won't cry for ya
With every breath that I take
I want you to share that air with me
There's no promise that I won't keep
I'll climb a mountain, there's none too steep
You stick out of the crowd, baby, it's a no-brainer
It ain't that hard to choose
Him or me, be for real, baby, it's a no-brainer
You got your mind unloose
Don't look rich, I ain't got no chain (huh)
Not on the list, I ain't got no name
But we in this bitch, bitch, I'm not no lame
And I keep it Ben Franklin, I'm not gon' change
You've got a heart as loud as lions
So why let your voice be tamed?
Baby we're a little different
There's no need to be ashamed
At night we're waking up the neighbors
While we sing away the blues
Making sure that we're remembered
Yeah, cause we all matter too
It's breaking me, I'm losing you
We were far from perfect, but we were worth it
Nigga, this is New York, make the wrong move
And the goons let the two spark, work hard and move salt
8 Ball like pool, hoes, cracked like the pavement
Diesel like the gas station, trap out the basement
Order more 'fore I sit in jail, niggas say they love me
I can see it in these niggas eyes, they don't wish me well
I don't need their company, they smilin' when a nigga fell
Same day, different shit, same bed, different bitch
Scum niggas gettin' rich, respect my conglomerate
What is money really worth if it ain't love?
0Some kill, some steal, some break your heart
And you thought that I would let it go and let you walk
Broken hearts, break bones, so break up fast
And I don't wanna let it go, so in my grave I'll rot
Only time I feel pain, when I'm feelin' love
That's why it's tatted on my face that I'm damn numb
Only time I'm in my mind, when I'm all alone
That's why I'm never really alone in the night time
Change hoes like clothes, I can't get attached
'Cause these hoes fire starters like lit matches
Curly hair bitch like I'm Corbin
Got like three bitches, I'm Mormon
Skeet on your main bitch's forehead
Don't want your pussy, just want head
And I'm always where the sun don't shine
The tears don't show, won't hurt me now 'cause
Heart's been broke, I hate myself, but
It won't show, I constantly lose all
I'ma pull up with the 30 stick, with the coolin' kit
Stephen Curry, how I'm shootin' shit, I can't fuckin' miss
I'm off a perc movin' ridiculous, I think I'm seein' shit
If you need a plate, then you could hit me on my turf
I need twenty-five, try to stick me and that gun burst
I need all of mine, try to try me and it's Columbine
Let that ruger fly, automatic poppin' at your guys
Bitch gave me the twinkle
'Cause she don't wanna wait in line
I told her patience is a virtue
Baby you should take your time
Stuff all my problems in that bong and I’m puffing strong
I been locked in my way of thinking now my cuffs are gone
These are my ideas, this is my sweat and tears
This is shit that I saw with my eyeballs, my ears
The female Pinocchio, money-hungry hopeless ho
You fuckin' with my focus, so
Go back to that chump that played the role befo'
Love is like a cancer when you don't let go
'Cause I’m movin' on, don’t worry about me
'Cause I’m gon' be just fine without you, you’ll see
There ain't no one on this Earth right now I’d much rather be
'Cause, goddamn it, I’m glad that I’m me
Fuckin' see why they call this bullshit a 'relationship' - ships sink
And you know it's love as soon as you fall in it, 'cause shit stinks
And it feels like everytime I fuckin' do I get jinxed
Cupid must have put a curse on me
They say good things come to those who wait
So I’mma be at least about a hour late
And yeah I know, you thought you had bigger, better things
Bet right now this stings
'Cause the grass is greener under me
Bright as Technicolor, I can tell that you can see
Since you've been gone
I've been dancing on my own
There's boys up in my zone
But they can't turn me on
But I got a mind to show my strength
And I got a right to speak my mind
And I'm gonna pay for this
They're gonna burn me at the stake
But I got a fire in my veins
I wasn't made to fall in line
'Cause lovebirds are some busy bees
You fuck around, get stung again
And you didn't leave your underwear
'Cause she didn't arrive in no underwear
Look, baby, either love is blind or nothing's there
I can't see the forest from the tree, the water from the sea
I'm sorry to my future love for the man that left my bed
For making love the way I saved for you inside my head
And I'm sorry for the fans I lost who watched me fall again
I wanna be a role model, but I'm only human
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
They say money make a nigga act niggerish
But least a nigga nigga rich
