Paramedic! lyrics - SOB X RBE, Kendrick Lamar

 (from "Black Panther" soundtrack)

[Zacari (Kendrick Lamar):]

(I am Killmonger)

No one's perfect

But no one's worthless

We ain't deservin' of everything Heaven and Earth is

But word is, good, (this is my home)

Said no one's perfect, but no ones worth this

We ain't deservin' of everything heaven and Earth is

But word is, good (Northern California)

[Slimmy B (Kendrick Lamar):]

(Ay, they better call a paramedic in the street)

(I got leverage in the street)

(I'm a California nigga and I'm heavy in the streets)

.22 or .23, I'm heavy with the heat

Hit you with this chop, paramedics can't save you (can't save you)

Really in field c'mon bro, I know that ain't you (no, it ain't you)

2018, hell naw, I ain't gon' fade you

Gon' paint you, TDE and SOB, we can't lose

Niggas bitch made

That's just somethin' I can't relate to (can't relate to)

Turn on the gang

That's just somethin' that I can't do (no, I can't do)

Fall out over a bitch

That's just somethin' that I can't do (no, I can't do)

Rip every beat I get on, I was made to (I was made to)

This Glock get to growlin', somethin' like a black panther

Tryna touch a mil, fuck saying "get yo bands up"

Fuckin' with the gang, yeah, I had to man up

One fist in the air, I ain't finna put my hands up (gang!)

[Kendrick Lamar:]

I wish a nigga would

I wish a nigga would, I wish a nigga would

I wish a nigga would

I wish a nigga would, I wish a nigga would

I wish a bitch would

I wish a bitch would, I wish a bitch would

I wish a nigga would

I wish a nigga would, I wish a nigga would

[Lul G (Kendrick Lamar):]

Got shooters tappin' in, nigga for them bands, nigga

West Coast niggas; yeah, they blowin' fans, nigga

I know I'm the man, baby, bring your friends with you

Puttin' points up while you in the stands, nigga

But I be stuck in these streets, you in the background

Ever since they took my brother, gotta pack rounds

Sorry mamma, two bails, took a bad route

I done got my bands up, a nigga stacked now

But we been still O.T. on that bullshit (on that bullshit)

I don't wanna have to do it, empty full clips (empty full clips)

Why these niggas talkin' robbin', they don't do shit

High Cali niggas tapped in, we'll cook shit

Bust down on my neck, niggas reach, gettin' stretched

Rockin' with this TEC, niggas better wear a vest

Last year, I was broke, young nigga in the Crest

Now a show 20 or better, broke niggas keep the rest

[Kendrick Lamar:]

I wish a nigga would

I wish a nigga would, I wish a nigga would

I wish a nigga would

I wish a nigga would, I wish a nigga would

I wish a bitch would

I wish a bitch would, I wish a bitch would

I wish a nigga would

I wish a nigga would, I wish a nigga would (DaBoii)

[DaBoii (Kendrick Lamar):]

California nigga and I'm heavy in these streets

If you don't keep a pole how you ready when it's beef

(If you don't keep a pole)

Lil nigga think he cut, yeah, I bet the nigga freeze

If that nigga want me dead, I can't let that nigga breathe

Want me gone, sent a shot, like the real kind

These niggas actin' like they tough when they real kind

Thumbin' through a 100 racks just to kill time

They got a nigga at the edge, but I feel fine

But it come with this shit, I'm okay with it

If your man's to his last share a plate wit' 'em

One whole wood to the neck, it's an eighth in it

New baby chop, let it sing, it's a Drake nigga

A lot of shit on my mind make me think a lot

Why it's hard for me to smile? 'Cause I seen a lot

You ain't really in the field, you just tweet a lot

If we ain't on the same page, you can kick a rock, bitch!

[Yhung T.O. (Kendrick Lamar):]

(And I been really tryna keep the peace)

(But I'm a north Vallejo nigga, and I'm heavy in the streets)

I was raised by my grannie and the gangsters

So at 8 I made the choice I'ma forever be a G, and

I don't really like to talk

I remember we was broke and I don't really like to walk, nigga

Now I ride around in foreign cars

And I put on for my team who was with me from the start, nigga

I don't play games, stitch lip, I don't say names

She want a dog, I'm a Great Dane

I got great aim, Ice Age on my damn chain

My mamma told me keep a stash for the damn rain

They ain't wanna see me win 'cause I'm black

So I pulled up in that all black Benz in the back

If you need someone to call, I'm the man for the task

You ain't standin' for the 'cause, meet the man in the mask

Bloody Waters lyrics - Ab-Soul, Anderson .Paak, James Blake

 (from "Black Panther" soundtrack)

[Ab-Soul:]

Meet the man in the mask

Meet the man in the mask

[James Blake:]

All those days and all that stays and

I don't keep it

I won't be here for it

All those days and all that stays and

I don't keep it though

I won't be here for it

[Anderson .Paak:]

Yes Lord, huh

Hail Mary's in the sky

Bossed up let's get buried alive

Head on the throne 'cause that's where I reside (reside)

Ways of the world that we won't survive

Something's in the water

My nigga we lawless (lawless)

Please move with caution

Who set the fair way? (fair way)

Damn right I need all this (all this)

Yeah Jack I need all this, eyy

[Ab-Soul:]

Hittas acquitted with fingerprints on the Glock

Screaming we gonna make it like two-thirds of the LOX

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Pow pow, he comes, blah blah

Blood on my hands I'ma need hot agua

You gon' meet Jamaica I'm won't say it in Patois

Hope I strike a nerve like a pack of matches

You might wanna bypass this smoke ain't gas trick

A prince-turned-pope trying to do like kings do

Sweating in chess games try move like kings move

You should slow your roll before you drown in the moat

He tried to channel the balance but never found the remote

Killers on the prowl still juggin' off a lick

Stealing with a double for his-

Common politics, everlasting mayhem

Draw the stick for' your figures that's how they hang man

So what's your game plan if you got one?

You aimin' at passengers with a shotgun? (woah)

The aftermath is you in the scope

It's warfare, is war fair? (no)

You understand? It's probably better you don't

Just keep a dock on standby, charter a boat

Ship set sailing, planes depart

The big picture's in motion, are you playing your part?

Before the lights get dark and the curtains get closed

Are you playing your role?

As told by an organized criminal

And general get off my genitals I got your general

[Anderson .Paak:]

Hail Mary's in the sky

Bossed up let's get buried alive

Head on the throne 'cause that's where I reside (reside)

Ways of the world that we won't survive

Something's in the water (the water)

My nigga we lawless (lawless)

Please move with caution

Who set the fair way? (fair way)

Damn right I need all this (all this)

Yeah Jack I need all this

[Ab-Soul:]

I had to be 'bout 9 when I first had seen it

Low lows pulled outside of the Ralph's

After a car show at Dominguez

They had a disagreement, they had to air out

Just another day in Del Amo

Fo' sho man down, mando

Thank God I never had to knock your partner off

Or be an another casualty of war, Amen

There's 4 footprints in the sand where I walk

I never claimed to be a saint at all

Four Russians trippin' with hollow tips

And a kalashnikov, ain't that ya'll

No, Soulo hoe, kept it clean

Riding dirty jury would have gave me thirty

Herby love buggin' out, hit the target blindfolded

Electorial college devoted

To hit the score, to write the score that's not a metaphor

Raging against the machinery, taping up the scenery

You gotta keep the piece, to keep the peace

Got dough, squad up and mopped the block up for a cleaning fee

[James Blake:]

I don't need you to change

I don't need you to change yourself (get, get away)

But I've got get away (get, get away)

But I've got get away from it all

Be as free as you can

Be as free as you can away from me

I tried to be a saint like everybody else

King's Dead lyrics - Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future, James Blake

 [Part I]

[Kendrick Lamar:]

Miss me with that bullshit (bullshit)

You ain't really wild, you a tourist (a tourist)

I be blackin' out with the purist (the purist)

I made a hundred thou' then I freaked it (I freaked it)

I made 500 thou' then I freaked it (I freaked it)

I bought a '87 for the weekend (the weekend)

This ain't what you want, this ain't what you want (what you want)

This ain't what you want, this ain't what you want (what you want)

[Jay Rock:]

And it's like that, lil' bitch

MVP, I get no sleep

No, I don't like that, lil' bitch

Bust that open, I want that ocean

Yeah that bite back, lil' bitch

Do it bite back, lil' bitch?

Need two life jackets, lil' bitch

I ain't gon' hold you, I ain't gon' press you, never control you

I ain't gon' front you, keep it 100, I don't know you

Boss like Top Dawg, bossed my life up, crossin' over

Stutter steppin', got a Hall of Fame in all my posters

I've been ready, my whip been ready

My bitch been ready, my clique been ready

My shit's been ready, my check's been ready

My shot's on full, that's Armageddon

I got pull, I hope y'all ready

My tank on full, you know, unleaded

I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it

I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it

My name gon' hold up, my team gon' hold up

My name gon' hold up, my team gon' hold up

My shots gon' fire, my team gon' roll up

Ménage à Trois, my queen gon' roll up

I hope y'all ready, you know I'm ready

I rain all day, you know, confetti

I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it

I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it, skrrt

[Future & Kendrick Lamar:]

Miss me with that bullshit (bullshit)

You're not a gang member, you's a tourist (a tourist)

I be blackin' out, I be blackin' out

Bought an '83 Cutlass for the weekend (for the weekend)

I got a hundred thousand, then I freaked it (then I freaked it)

I made 500 thousand, then I freaked it (then I freaked it)

I put a Rolls Royce on my wrist, oh yeah

Fuck his baby mama tryna sneak diss

I took her to my penthouse, then I freaked it (then I freaked it)

I haven't made my mind up, should I keep it? (should I keep it?)

I got big dog status, it ain't no secret

[Future:]

Pass me some syrup, fuck me in the car

[Part II]

[James Blake:]

Changes

Is you gon' do something?

What you want?

[Kendrick Lamar:]

Red light, green light, red light, green light

Red light, green light, they like, we like

Fast cars, fast money, fast life, fast broads

Egotistic, goin' ballistic, why God?

Born warrior, lookin' for euphoria, but I don't see it

I don't feel it, I'm paraplegic

Tapped in when I'm maxed in

Compound with the MAC 10s and the pumps in the background

I was absent, never OG, standout

I was lackin' everything else but doubt

In the Magnum, holding Magnums with a Magnum

Nigga, ad-lib and I sing out loud

Never had friends, never had ends, never had hope

They was like, "Nope," I was like, "Boo yaow, boo yaow"

Yeah, God

Tee off the day, know we off the, be off the

Eat off your plate, throw me off, I be, "Off ya head"

Well ate, on C4, I'm way off the edge

Fuck integrity, fuck your pedigree

Fuck your feelings, fuck your culture

Fuck your mom, fuck your family, fuck your drive

Fuck your land, fuck your children, fuck your wives

Who am I? Not your father, not your brother

Not your reason, not your future

Not your comfort, not your reverence, not your glory

Not your heaven and not your angel, not your spirit

Not your message, not your freedom

Not your people, not your neighbor

Not your baby, not your equal

Not the title y'all want me under

All hail King Killmonger

Red light, green light, red light, green light

Red light, green light, they like, we like

Fast cars

[Zacari]

You love it when I fall on my face

Don't act so surprised when

I'm in, oh, my rightful place

Ain't it righteous? Amen (amen)

This time around, there's time to turn it around

This time around, there's still time to turn it around

This time around, there's always time to turn it around

This time around (this time around)

[Hykeem Carter (Kendrick Lamar):]

Sky keep falling down

Falling down (Black Panther)

I keep falling down

Falling down

I keep falling down

Falling down

[Mozzy:]

I cry with lil' brotha, got high and watched the sunrise

Wiggle on 'em if it's One Time they done hung all of my people

I love all of my people, I'm in the slums with all of my people

They trynna tell us that we all equal

We gettin' no justice so it ain't peaceful

Think they bluffin' they ain't gon' beat you

Paid attorney we gon' need it

Momma told me there was demons, she ain't never lied on her G

She worked her ass off just to feed us, she went to Ross to cop the new Adidas

She used to tap in with all the teachers, they wasn't teaching nothin' it wasn't no secret

Whole lotta grind, lil' niggas beefin', we gotta keep it or end up a victim

Trapped in the system, trafficking drugs, modern day slavery, African thugs

We go to war with this African blood, We go to war with this African blood

When I put niggas on it was all out of love

You was disloyal can't call it no love

[Sjava:]

Poverty

Jealousy

Negativity

Ngith' angandawo la

Go away (far away)

[Reason:]

(Season change)

You know we at the stove with it [?] my niggas know we gon' get it

(Season change)

Dodgin' cops fuck around and get locked you never commin' home with it

Look my nigga I came from the sewer, don't shit on my past you ain't come from manure

You see Reason and you see LA, but bitch I ain't come for no ruin

Just know all of my niggas we struggled for it, had to hustle for it, cried puddles for it

My pops watch my sister get locked for it

I done seen my niggas get popped for it like (pop!)

Gimme that, I carry the llama like a piggyback

I carry my city like guilt that ain't got no forgiveness

No way out, shit we locked in the system

Catch a case and they not gon' forgive ya

White skin you be out 'fore Christmas

Shit, auntie missed eight of those days

Tears from me had to pray those days, had to slave those days

Shit, we had to hit up a couple hood-give-aways those days

Thank God for every inch that he gave us

Thank God for everything 'cause he made us

Like when that car bent the block, brock, brock, brock

Hit the homie but we made it, he already saved us

Thinkin' that he could've died nigga, we as praying to the sky and his mother cried rivers

Healed up, but tough luck, he tried to get revenge, had to drop but his popped and they killed him

Worst part is that it sound so familiar

I am T'Challa

I am Killmonger

One world, one God, one family

Celebration

Pray For Me lyrics - The Weeknd & Kendrick Lamar

(from "Black Panther" soundtrack)

[The Weeknd:]

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

I'm always ready for a war again (A war again)

Go down that road again (That road again)

It's all the same (It's all the same)

I'm always ready to take a life again (That life again)

You know I'll ride again (I'll ride again)

It's all the same (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Tell me who's gon' save me from myself

When this life is all I know

Tell me who's gon' save me from this hell

Without you, I'm all alone

Who gon' pray for me? (Who gon' pray for me?)

Take my pain for me? (Take my pain for me?)

Save my soul for me? (Save my soul for me?)

'Cause I'm alone, you see ('Cause I'm alone, you see)

If I'm gon' die for you (If I'm gon' die for you)

If I'm gon' kill for you (If I'm gon' kill for you)

Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey

[Kendrick Lamar:]

I fight the world, I fight you, I fight myself

I fight God, just tell me how many burdens left

I fight pain and hurricanes, today I wept

I'm tryna fight back tears, flood on my doorsteps

Life a livin' hell, puddles of blood in the streets

Shooters on top of the building, government aid ain't relief

Earthquake, the body dropped, the ground breaks

The poor run with smoke lungs and Scarface

Who need a hero? (Hero)

You need a hero, look in the mirror, there go your hero

Who on the front lines at ground zero? (Hero)

My heart don't skip a beat, even when hard times bumps the needle

Mass destruction and mass corruption, the souls of sufferin' men

Clutchin' on deaf ears again, rapture is comin'

It's all prophecy and if I gotta be

Sacrificed for the greater good then that's what it gotta be

[The Weeknd:]

Who gon' pray for me? (Who gon' pray for me?)

Take my pain for me? (Take my pain for me?)

Save my soul for me? (Save my soul for me?)

'Cause I'm alone, you see ('Cause I'm alone, you see)

If I'm gon' die for you (If I'm gon' die for you)

If I'm gon' kill for you (If I'm gon' kill for you)

Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Who gon' pray for me? (Who gon' pray for me?)

Take my pain for me? (Take my pain for me?)

Save my soul for me? (Save my soul for me?)

'Cause I'm alone, you see ('Cause I'm alone, you see)

If I'm gon' die for you (If I'm gon' die for you)

If I'm gon' kill for you (If I'm gon' kill for you)

Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey

[Kendrick Lamar & The Weeknd:]

Just in case my faith go, I'll live by my own law

I'll live by my own law, I'll live by my own

Just in case my faith go, I'll live by my own law

I'll live by my own law, I'll live by my own

BLOOD. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

[Bēkon:]
Is it wickedness?
Is it weakness?
You decide
Are we gonna live or die?

[Kendrick Lamar:]
So I was takin' a walk the other day, and I seen a woman-a blind woman-pacin' up and down the sidewalk. She seemed to be a bit frustrated, as if she had dropped somethin' and havin' a hard time findin' it. So after watchin' her struggle for a while, I decide to go over and lend a helping hand, you know? "Hello, ma'am, can I be of any assistance? It seems to me that you have lost something. I would like to help you find it." She replied: "Oh yes, you have lost something. You've lost... your life."

[Gunshot]

[Bēkon:]
Is it wickedness?

Lamar stated his views on police brutality with that line in the song, quote: "And we hate the popo, wanna kill us in the street fo' sho'..."
Oh please, ugh, I don't like it.

DNA. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

I got, I got, I got, I got
Loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA
Cocaine quarter piece, got war and peace inside my DNA
I got power, poison, pain and joy inside my DNA
I got hustle though, ambition, flow, inside my DNA
I was born like this, since one like this
Immaculate conception
I transform like this, perform like this
Was Yeshua's new weapon
I don't contemplate, I meditate, then off your fucking head
This that put-the-kids-to-bed
This that I got, I got, I got, I got
Realness, I just kill shit 'cause it's in my DNA
I got millions, I got riches buildin' in my DNA
I got dark, I got evil, that rot inside my DNA
I got off, I got troublesome, heart inside my DNA
I just win again, then win again like Wimbledon, I serve
Yeah, that's him again, the sound that engine in is like a bird
You see fireworks and Corvette tire skrrt the boulevard
I know how you work, I know just who you are
See, you's a, you's a, you's a-
Bitch, your hormones prolly switch inside your DNA
Problem is, all that sucker shit inside your DNA
Daddy prolly snitched, heritage inside your DNA
Backbone don't exist, born outside a jellyfish, I gauge
See, my pedigree most definitely don't tolerate the front
Shit I've been through prolly offend you
This is Paula's oldest son
I know murder, conviction
Burners, boosters, burglars, ballers, dead, redemption
Scholars, fathers dead with kids
And I wish I was fed forgiveness
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, soldier's DNA
Born inside the beast
My expertise checked out in second grade
When I was 9, on-sale motel, we didn't have nowhere to stay
At 29, I've done so well, hit cartwheel in my estate
And I'm gon' shine like I'm supposed to
Antisocial, extrovert
And excellent mean the extra work
And absentness what the fuck you heard
And pessimists never struck my nerve
And that's a riff, gonna plead this case
The reason my power's here on earth
Salute the truth, when the prophet say

I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA
This is why I say that hip hop has done more damage to young African Americans than racism in recent years
I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA
I live a better life, I'm rollin' several dice, fuck your life
I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA
I live a better, fuck your life
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
This is my heritage, all I'm inheritin'
Money and power, the mecca of marriages

Tell me somethin'
You mothafuckas can't tell me nothin'
I'd rather die than to listen to you
My DNA not for imitation
Your DNA an abomination
This how it is when you're in the Matrix
Dodgin' bullets, reapin' what you sow
And stackin' up the footage, livin' on the go
And sleepin' in a villa
Sippin' from a Grammy and walkin' in the buildin'
Diamond in the ceilin', marble on the floors
Beach inside the window, peekin' out the window
Baby in the pool, godfather goals
Only Lord knows, I've been goin' hammer
Dodgin' paparazzi, freakin' through the cameras
Eat at Four Daughters, Brock wearin' sandals
Yoga on a Monday, stretchin' to Nirvana
Watchin' all the snakes, curvin' all the fakes
Phone never on, I don't conversate
I don't compromise, I just penetrate
Sex, money, murder-these are the breaks
These are the times, level number 9
Look up in the sky, 10 is on the way
Sentence on the way, killings on the way
Motherfucker, I got winners on the way
You ain't shit without a body on your belt
You ain't shit without a ticket on your plate
You ain't sick enough to pull it on yourself
You ain't rich enough to hit the lot and skate
Tell me when destruction gonna be my fate
Gonna be your fate, gonna be our faith
Peace to the world, let it rotate
Sex, money, murder-our DNA

DNA
Gimme some ganja, gimme some ganja
DNA
Gimme some ganja
Real nigga in my DNA
Ain't no ho inside my DNA
Drippin' gold inside my DNA
Power shows in my DNA
DNA
Gimme some ganja, gimme some ganja
Real nigga in my DNA
Ain't no ho inside my DNA

YAH. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

[Kid Capri:]
New shit, new Kung Fu Kenny

[Kendrick Lamar:]
I got so many theories and suspicions
I'm diagnosed with real nigga conditions
Today is the day I follow my intuition
Keep the family close-get money, fuck bitches
I double parked the Aston in the red
My mama told me that I'ma work myself to death
My girl told me don't let these hoes get in my head
My world been ecstatic, I checked the signal that read-

Buzzin', radars is buzzin'
Yah, yah, yah, yah
Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah
Buzzin', radars is buzzin'
Yah, yah, yah, yah
Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah

Interviews wanna know my thoughts and opinions
Fox News wanna use my name for percentage
My latest muse is my niece, she worth livin'
See me on the TV and scream: "That's Uncle Kendrick!"
Yeah, that's the business
Somebody tell Geraldo this nigga got some ambition
I'm not a politician, I'm not 'bout a religion
I'm a Israelite, don't call me Black no mo'
That word is only a color, it ain't facts no mo'
My cousin called, my cousin Carl Duckworth
Said know my worth
And Deuteronomy say that we all been cursed
I know he walks the Earth
But it's money to get, bitches to hit, yah
Zeroes to flip, temptation is, yah
First on my list, I can't resist, yah
Everyone together now, know that we forever-

Buzzin', radars is buzzin'
Yah, yah, yah, yah
Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah
Buzzin', radars is buzzin'
Yah, yah, yah, yah
Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah

ELEMENT. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

New Kung Fu Kenny
Ain't nobody prayin' for me
Y'all know what happens on Earth stays on Earth
Here we go
I don't give a fuck, I don't give a fuck
I don't give a, I don't give a, I don't give a fuck

I'm willin' to die for this shit
I done cried for this shit, might take a life for this shit
Put the Bible down and go eye for an eye for this shit
D.O.T. my enemy, won't catch a vibe for this shit, ayy
I been stomped out in front of my mama
My daddy commissary made it to commas
Bitch, all my grandmas dead
So ain't nobody prayin' for me, I'm on your head, ayy
30 millions later, know the feds watchin'
Auntie on my telegram like, "Be cautious"
I be hangin' out at Tam's, I be on Stockton
I don't do it for the 'Gram, I do it for Compton
I'm willin' to die for this shit, nigga
I'll take your fuckin' life for this shit, nigga
We ain't goin' back to broke, family sellin' dope
That's why you maney ass rap niggas better know

If I gotta slap a pussy ass nigga, I'ma make it look sexy
If I gotta go hard on a bitch, I'ma make it look sexy
I pull up, hop out, air out, made it look sexy
They won't take me out my element
Nah, take me out my element

I'm allergic to a bitch nigga, ayy
An imaginary rich nigga, ayy
Seven figures hold that slimmer than my bitch figure, ayy
Goin' digital and physical on all y'all, ayy
Bunch of criminals and money in my phone calls, ayy
We okay, we let the A1 fly
Relocate, jump on the same G5
Checkin' for me heavy 'cause I go yeah, I go yeah
They never been ready yeah, I know yeah, know yeah
100K spread 'cross the floor, 'cross floor yeah
None of y'all fuckin' with the flow yeah, the flow yeah
Years in the making, don't y'all mistake it
I got 'em by a landslide, we talkin' 'bout races
You know this'll never be a tie, just look at they laces
You know careers take off, just gotta be patient
Mister one through five that's the only logic
Fake my death, go to Cuba, that's the only option

If I gotta slap a pussy ass nigga, I'ma make it look sexy
If I gotta go hard on a bitch, I'ma make it look sexy
I pull up, hop out, air out, made it look sexy
They won't take me out my element
Nah, take me out my element

Damned if I do, if I don't
Goddamn us all if you won't
Damn, damn, damn it's a goddamn shame
You ain't frontline, get out the goddamn way

Niggas thought they wasn't gonna see me, huh?
Niggas thought that K-Dot real life was the same life they see on TV, huh?
Niggas wanna flex on me and be in LA for free, huh?
Next time they hit the 10 freeway, we need receipt, huh?
'Cause most of y'all ain't real
Most of y'all gon' squeal
Most of y'all just envy, but jealousy get you killed
Most of y'all throw rocks and try to hide your hand
Just say his name and I promise that you'll see Candyman
Because it's all in your eyes
Most of y'all tell lies
Most of y'all don't fade
Most of y'all been advised
Last LP I tried to lift the black artists
But it's a difference between black artists and wack artists

If I gotta slap a pussy ass nigga, I'ma make it look sexy
It's the one and only, the world's greatest, the Kid Capri
If I gotta go hard on a bitch, I'ma make it look sexy
I pull up, hop out, air out, made it look sexy
They won't take me out my element
Nah, take me out my element

FEEL. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

Ain't nobody prayin' for me
Ain't nobody prayin' for me
Ain't nobody prayin' for me
Ain't nobody prayin' for me

I feel like a chip on my shoulders
I feel like I'm losin' my focus
I feel like I'm losin' my patience
I feel like my thoughts in the basement
Feel like, I feel like you're miseducated
Feel like I don't wanna be bothered
I feel like you may be the problem
I feel like it ain't no tomorrow, fuck the world
The world is endin', I'm done pretendin'
And fuck you if you get offended
I feel like friends been overrated
I feel like the family been fakin'
I feel like the feelings are changin'
Feel like my daughter compromised and jaded
Feel like you wanna scrutinize how I made it
Feel like I ain't feelin' you all
Feel like removin' myself, no feelings involved
I feel for you, I've been in the field for you
It's real for you, right? Shit, I feel like-

Ain't nobody prayin' for me
Ain't nobody prayin' for me
Ain't nobody prayin' for me
Ain't nobody prayin'

I feel niggas been out of pocket
I feel niggas tappin' they pockets
I feel like debating on who the greatest can stop it
I am legend, I feel like all of y'all is peasants
I feel like all of y'all is desperate
I feel like all it take is a second to feel like
Mike Jordan whenever holdin' a real mic
I ain't feelin' your presence
Feel like I'ma learn you a lesson
Feel like only me and the music, though
I feel like your feelin' ain't mutual
I feel like the enemy you should know
Feel like the feelin' of no hope
The feelin' of bad dope
A quarter ounce manipulated from soap
The feelin', the feelin' of false freedom
I'll force-feed 'em the poison that fill 'em up in the prison
I feel like it's just me
Look, I feel like I can't breathe
Look, I feel like I can't sleep
Look, I feel heartless, often off this
Feelin' of fallin', of fallin' apart with
Darkest hours, lost it
Fillin' the void of bein' employed with ballin'
Streets is talkin', fill in the blanks with coffins
Fill up the banks with dollars
Fill up the graves with fathers
Fill up the babies with bullshit
Internet blogs and pulpit, fill 'em with gossip
I feel like this gotta be the feelin' what 'Pac was
The feelin' of an apocalypse happenin'
But nothin' is awkward, the feelin' won't prosper
The feelin' is toxic, I feel like I'm boxin' demons
Monsters, false prophets schemin'
Sponsors, industry promises
Niggas, bitches, honkies, crackers, Compton
Church, religion, token blacks, and bondage
Lawsuit visits, subpoena served in concert
Fuck your feelings, I mean this for imposters
I can feel it, the phoenix sure to watch us
I can feel it, the dream is more than process
I can put a regime that forms a Loch Ness
I can feel it, the scream that haunts our logic
I feel like say somethin', I feel like take somethin'
I feel like skatin' off, I feel like waitin' for 'em
Maybe it's too late for 'em
I feel like the whole world want me to pray for 'em
But who the fuck prayin' for me?

Ain't nobody prayin' for me
Who prayin' for me?
Ain't nobody prayin'

LOYALTY. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar (feat. Rihanna)

[DJ Dahi:]
I said I'm geeked and I'm fired up (fired, fire)
All I want tonight is just to get high up (high, high, high)
Girl, you look so good, it's to die for (die for)
Ooh, that pussy good, it's to die for (on fire)

[Kendrick Lamar & Rihanna:]
It's a secret society
All we ask is trust
(All we ask is trust)
All we got is us
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Kung Fu Kenny now
My resume is real enough for two millenniums
A better way to make a wave, stop defendin' them
I meditate and moderate all of my wins again
I'm hangin' on the fence again
I'm always on your mind
I put my lyric and my lifeline on the line
And ain't no limit when I might shine, might grind
You rollin' with it at the right time, right now
(Only for the dollar sign)

[Rihanna:]
Bad gyal RiRi now
Swerve, swerve, swerve, swerve, deeper now
On your pulse like it's EDM
Gas in the bitch like it's premium
Haul ass on a bitch all in the fast lane
Been a bad bitch way before any cash came
I'm established
Hundred carats on my name
Run the atlas, I'm a natural, I'm alright

[Kendrick Lamar:]
I'm a savage, I'm a asshole, I'm a king
[Rihanna:]
Shimmy-yeah, shimmy-yeah, shimmy-yeah, rock (yeah)
[Kendrick Lamar:]
You can tell your nigga he can meet me outside (yeah)
You can babysit him when I leave him outside
[Rihanna:]
Ain't no other love like the one I know
[Kendrick Lamar:]
I done been down so long lost hope
I done came down so hard I slowed
I don't sleep forever, all a real nigga want

[DJ Dahi:]
I said I'm geeked and I'm fired up (fired, fire)
All I want tonight is just to get high up (yeah)
(All I want is, all I want is)

[Kendrick Lamar (Rihanna):]
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
(10-4, no switchin' sides)
Feel somethin' wrong
(You actin' shifty, you don't ride)
With me no more, I need
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Tell me who you loyal to
Is it money? Is it fame? Is it weed? Is it drink?
Is it comin' down with the loud pipes and the rain?
Big chillin', only for the power in your name
Tell me who you loyal to
Is it love for the streets when the lights get dark?
Is it unconditional when the 'Rari don't start?
Tell me when your loyalty is comin' from the heart

[Rihanna:]
Tell me who you loyal to
Do it start with your woman or your man? (Mmm)
Do it end with your family and friends? (Mmm)
Or you're loyal to yourself in advance?
I said, tell me who you loyal to
Is it anybody that you would lie for?
Anybody you would slide for?
Anybody you would die for?
[Kendrick Lamar:] That's what God for

[DJ Dahi:]
I said I'm geeked and I'm fired up (fired, fire)
All I want tonight is just to get high up
(All I want is, all I want is)

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
[Rihanna:]
10-4, no switchin' sides
[Kendrick Lamar:]
Feel somethin' wrong
You actin' shifty, you don't ride
With me no more, I need
[Rihanna:]
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty

It's so hard to be humble
It's so hard to be
Lord knows I'm tryin'
Lord knows I'm dyin', baby

PRIDE. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

[Steve Lacy:]
Love's gonna get you killed
But pride's gonna be the death of you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me and-

[Steve Lacy (Kendrick Lamar):]
It wasn't all to share, but there
(In another life, I surely was there)
It wasn't all to share, but there
(I care, I care)

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldy possessions
Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?
The better part, the human heart
You love 'em or dissect 'em
Happiness or flashiness? How do you serve the question?
See, in the perfect world, I would be perfect, world
I don't trust people enough beyond they surface, world
I don't love people enough to put my faith in men
I put my faith in these lyrics, hoping I make amend
I understand I ain't perfect
I probably won't come around
This time, I might put you down
Last time, I ain't give a fuck, I still feel the same now
My feelings might go numb, you're dealing with cold thumb
I'm willing to give up a leg and arm and show empathy from
Pity parties and functions and you and yours
A perfect world, you probably live another 24
I can't fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
I can't fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure

[Steve Lacy (Kendrick Lamar):]
It wasn't all to share, but there
(In another life, I surely was there)
It wasn't all to share, but there
(I care, I care)

[Kendrick Lamar & Anna Wise:]
Maybe I wasn't there
Maybe I wasn't there
Maybe I wasn't there
Maybe I wasn't there

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Now, in a perfect world, I probably won't be insensitive
Cold as December, but never remember what Winter did
I wouldn't blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid
Seems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadays
Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there
Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here
I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back
The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that
Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride
A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies
Promises are broken and more resentment come alive
Race barriers make inferior of you and I
See, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over riches
I'll choose work over bitches, I'll make schools out of prison
I'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service
Just to tell 'em we ain't shit, but He's been perfect, world

[Steve Lacy (Kendrick Lamar):]
It wasn't all to share, but there
(In another life, I surely was there)
It wasn't all to share, but there
(I care, I care)

[Kendrick Lamar & Anna Wise:]
Maybe I wasn't there
Maybe I wasn't there
Maybe I wasn't there
Maybe I wasn't there

HUMBLE. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

[Music video version:] Wicked or weakness, you gotta see this, waaaaay (yeah, yeah!)
[Regular version:] Nobody pray for me, it been that day for me, waaaaay (yeah, yeah!)

Aye, I remember syrup sandwiches and crime allowances
Finesse a nigga with sum counterfeits
But now I'm countin this
Parmesan where my accountant lives in fact I'm down at this
D'usśe with my boo bae, tastes like kool aid for the analysts
Girl, I can buy your ass the world with my paystub
Ooh that pussy good, won't you sit it on my taste bloods
I get way too petty once you let me do the extras
Pull up on your block, then break it down we playing Tetris
A.M. to the P.M., P.M. to the A.M. funk
Piss out your per diem you just gotta hate em, funk
If I quit your BM I still ride Mercedes, funk
If I quit this season I still be the greatest, funk
My left stroke just went viral
Right stroke put lil baby in a spiral
Soprano C, we like to keep it on a high note
It's levels to it, you and I know, bitch be humble

(Hol' up bitch) sit down,
(Hol' up lil bitch, hol' up, lil bitch) be humble
(Hol' up bitch) sit down (sit down hol' up lil bitch)
Be humble (bitch)

(Sit down lil bitch) be humble
(Hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, hol' up lil bitch) bitch, sit down
(Hol' up lil bitch) be humble
(Hol' up bitch) sit down
(Hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, hol' up)

Who dat nigga thinkin that he frontin on man man (man man)
Get the fuck off my stage, I'm the sandman (sandman)
Get the fuck off my dick, that ain't' right
I make a play fucking up your whole life
I'm so fucking sick and tired of the photoshop
Show me something natural like afro on Richard Pryor
Show me something natural like ass with some stretchmarks
Still will take you down right on your momma's couch in polo socks, aye
This shit way too crazy, aye
You do not amaze me, aye
I blew cool from AC, aye
Obama just paged me, aye
I don't fabricate it, aye
Most of ya'll be fakin, aye
I stay modest bout it, aye
She elaborate it, aye
This that Grey Poupon, that Evian, that Ted Talk, aye
Watch my soul speak, you let the meds talk, aye
If I kill a nigga it won't be the alcohol, aye
I'm the realest nigga after all, bitch be humble

(Hol' up bitch) sit down,
(Hol' up lil bitch, hol' up, lil bitch) be humble
(Hol' up bitch) sit down (sit down hol' up lil bitch)
Be humble (bitch)

LUST. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

[Kendrick Lamar:]
I need some water
Somethin' came over me
Way too hot to simmer down
Might as well overheat
Too close to comfort
As blood rush my favorite vein
Heartbeat racin' like a junkie's
I just need you to want me
Am I askin' too much?
Let me put the head in
Ooh, I don't want more than that
Girl, I respect the cat
I promise just a touch
Let me put the head in
If it's okay
She said, "It's okay."

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Yeah, I need everybody's motherfuckin' hands up right now
I need everybody's motherfuckin'-
[RAT BOY:]
Door and his Nike Air Rattles
Rush the fire exit, no time for battles
Well I, I never expected
[Kendrick Lamar:]
This that new shit
This that new, new shit

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Wake up in the mornin'
Thinkin' 'bout money, kick your feet up
Watch you a comedy, take a shit, then roll some weed up
Go hit you a lick, go fuck on a bitch
Don't go to work today, cop you a fit
Or maybe some kicks and make you-
[RAT BOY:]
Door in his Nike Air Rattles
Rush the fire exit, no time for battles
Well I, I never expected
[Kendrick Lamar:]
Wake up in the mornin'
Thinkin' 'bout money, kick your feet up
Watch you a comedy- hol' up!
Wake up in the mornin'
Thinkin' 'bout money, kick your feet up
Watch you a comedy, take a shit, then roll some weed up
Go hit you a lick, go fuck on a bitch, don't go to work today
Cop you a fit or maybe some kicks and make it work today
Hang with your homies, stunt on your baby mama
Sip some lean, go get a pistol, shoot out the window
Bet your favorite team, play you some Madden
Go to the club or your mama house
Whatever you doin', just make it count
(I need some water)
Wake up in the mornin'
Thinkin' 'bout money, kick your feet up
Hop in the shower, put on your makeup, lace your weave up
Touch on yourself, call up your nigga, tell him he ain't shit
Credit card scam, get you a Visa, make him pay your rent
Hop on the 'Gram, flex on the bitches that be hatin' on you
Pop you a pill, call up your bitches, have 'em waitin' on you
Go to the club, have you some fun, make that ass bounce
It's whatever, just make it count

[Kendrick Lamar:]
I need some water
Somethin' came over me
Way too hot to simmer down
Might as well overheat
Too close to comfort
As blood rush my favorite vein
Heartbeat racin' like a junkie's
I just need you to want me
Am I askin' too much?
Let me put the head in
Ooh, I don't want more than that
Girl, I respect the cat
I promise just a touch
Let me put the head in
If it's okay
She said, "It's okay."

I wake in the mornin', my head spinnin' from the last night
Both in the trance, feelings I did-what a fast life!
Manager called, the lobby called, it's 11: 30
Did this before, promised myself I'd be a hour early
Room full of clothes, bag full of money: call it loose change
Fumbled my jewelry, 100k, I lost a new chain
Hop on the bird, hit the next city for another M
Take me a nap and do it again
We all woke up, tryna tune to the daily news
Lookin' for confirmation, hopin' election wasn't true
All of us worried, all of us buried, and our feeling's deep
None of us married to his proposal, make us feel cheap
Still and sad, distraught and mad, tell the neighbor 'bout it
Bet they agree, parade the streets with your voice proudly
Time passin', things change
Revertin' back to our daily programs, stuck in our ways; Lust

Lately, I feel like I been lustin' over the fame
Lately, we lust on the same routine of shame
Lately, lately, lately, my lust been hidin' (Lately)
Lately, it's all contradiction
Lately, I'm not here
Lately, I lust over self
Lust turn into fear
Lately, in James 4: 4 says
Friend of the world is enemy of the Lord
Brace yourself, lust is all yours

I need some water
Somethin' came over me
Way too high to simmer down
Might as well overheat
Too close to comfort
As blood rush my favorite vein
Heartbeat racin' like a junkie's
I just need you to want me
Am I askin' too much?
Let me put the head in
Ooh, I don't want more than that
Girl, I respect the cat
I promise just a touch
Let me put the head in
If it's okay
She said, "It's okay."

LOVE. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar (feat. Zacari)

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Damn, love or lust
Damn, all of us

[Zacari:]
Give me a run for my money
There is nobody, no one to outrun me
(Another world premiere!)
So give me a run for my money
Sippin' bubbly, feelin' lovely, livin' lovely
Just love me
[Kendrick Lamar:]

If I didn't ride blade on curb, would you still (love me)?

Keep it a whole one hund': don't got you, I got nothin'

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Ayy, I got somethin'
Hol' up, we gon' function, no assumptions
Feelin' like Tyson with it
Knock it out twice, I'm with it
Only for the night, I'm kiddin'
Only for life, you're a homie for life
You're a homie for life, let's get it
Hit that shoulder lean
I know what comin' over mean
Backstroke oversea
I know what you need
Already on ten, our money come in
All feeling go out, this feeling don't drought
This party won't end

If I didn't ride blade on curb, would you still (love me)?

Poppin' your gum on the way
Am I in the way?
I don't wan' pressure you none
I want your blessing today
Oh, by the way, open the door by the way
Told you that I'm on the way
I'm on the way, I know connection is vague
Pick up the phone for me, babe
Damn it, we jammin'
Bad attitude from yo' nanny
Curves and your hips from yo' mammy
Remember Gardena, I took the studio camera
I know Top will be mad at me
I had to do it, I want your body, your music
I bought the big one to prove it
Look what you made
Told you that I'm on the way
I'm like an exit away, yep

[Kendrick Lamar (Zacari):]
If I didn't ride blade on curb, would you still (love me)?
If I minimize my net worth, would you still (love me)?
Keep it a hundred, I'd rather you trust me than to (love me)
Keep it a whole one hund': don't got you, I got nothin'

[Zacari:]
Give me a run for my money
There is nobody, no one to outrun me
So give me a run for my money
Sippin' bubbly, feelin' lovely, livin' lovely
Just love me

XXX. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar (feat. U2)

[Bēkon:]
America, God bless you if it's good to you
America please take my hand
Can you help me underst-
[Kid Capri:] New Kung Fu Kenny

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Throw a steak off the ark
To a pool full of sharks, he'll take it
Leave him in the wilderness
With a sworn nemesis, he'll make it
Take the gratitude from him
I bet he'll show you somethin', whoa
I'll chip a nigga little bit of nothin'
I'll chip a nigga little bit of nothin'
I'll chip a nigga little bit of nothin'
I'll chip a nigga, then throw the blower in his lap
Walk myself to the court like, "Bitch, I did that!"
X-rated

Johnny don't wanna go to school no mo', no mo'
Johnny said books ain't cool no mo' (no mo')
Johnny wanna be a rapper like his big cousin
Johnny caught a body yesterday out hustlin'
God bless America, you know we all love him

Yesterday I got a call like from my dog like 101
Said they killed his only son because of insufficient funds
He was sobbin', he was mobbin', way belligerent and drunk
Talkin' out his head, philosphin' on what the Lord had done
He said: "K-Dot, can you pray for me?
It's been a fucked up day for me
I know that you anointed, show me how to overcome."
He was lookin' for some closure
Hopin' I could bring him closer
To the spiritual, my spirit do no better, but I told him
"I can't sugarcoat the answer for you, this is how I feel:
If somebody kill my son, that mean somebody gettin' killed."
Tell me what you do for love, loyalty, and passion of
All the memories collected, moments you could never touch

I'll wait in front a niggas spot and watch him hit his block
I'll catch a nigga leavin' service if that's all I got
I'll chip a nigga, then throw the blower in his lap
Walk myself to the court like, "Bitch, I did that!"
Ain't no Black Power when your baby killed by a coward
I can't even keep the peace, don't you fuck with one of ours
It be murder in the street, it be bodies in the hour
Ghetto bird be on the street, paramedics on the dial
Let somebody touch my mama
Touch my sister, touch my woman
Touch my daddy, touch my niece
Touch my nephew, touch my brother

You should chip a nigga, then throw the blower in his lap
Matter fact, I'm 'bout to speak at this convention
Call you back-

Alright, kids, we're gonna talk about gun control
(Pray for me) Damn!

[Bono:]
It's not a place
This country is to be a sound of drum and bass
You close your eyes to look around

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Hail Mary, Jesus and Joseph
The great American flag
Is wrapped and dragged with explosives
Compulsive disorder, sons and daughters
Barricaded blocks and borders
Look what you taught us!
It's murder on my street, your street, back streets
Wall Street, corporate offices
Banks, employees, and bosses with
Homicidal thoughts; Donald Trump's in office
We lost Barack and promised to never doubt him again
But is America honest, or do we bask in sin?
Pass the gin, I mix it with American blood
Then bash him in, you Crippin' or you married to blood?
I'll ask again-oops-accident
It's nasty when you set us up
Then roll the dice, then bet us up
You overnight the big rifles, then tell Fox to be scared of us
Gang members or terrorists, et cetera, et cetera
America's reflections of me, that's what a mirror does

[Bono:]
It's not a place
This country is to be a sound of drum and bass
You close your eyes to look ar-

FEAR. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

[Carl Duckworth:]
I don't think I could find a way to make it on this earth
What's up, family? Yeah, it's yo cousin Carl, man, just givin' you a call, man. I know you been havin' a lot on yo mind lately, and I know you feel like, you know, people ain't been prayin' for you. But you have to understand this, man, that we are a cursed people. Deuteronomy 28: 28 says, "The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart." See, family, that's why you feel like you feel like you got a chip on your shoulder. Until you finally get the memo, you will always feel that way...

[Charles Edward Sydney Isom Jr.]
Why God, why God do I gotta suffer?
Pain in my heart carry burdens full of struggle
Why God, why God do I gotta bleed?
Every stone thrown at you restin' at my feet
Why God, why God do I gotta suffer?
Earth is no more, won't you burn this muh'fucka?
I don't think I could find a way to make it on this earth
(Reversed)

I beat yo ass, keep talkin' back
I beat yo ass, who bought you that?
You stole it, I beat yo ass if you say that game is broken
I beat yo ass if you jump on my couch
I beat yo ass if you walk in this house
With tears in your eyes, runnin' from Poo Poo and Prentice
Go back outside, I beat yo ass, lil nigga
That homework better be finished, I beat yo ass
Your teachers better not be bitchin' 'bout you in class
That pizza better not be wasted, you eat it all
That TV better not be loud if you got it on
Them Jordans better not get dirty when I just bought 'em
Better not hear 'bout you humpin' on Keisha's daughter
Better not hear you got caught up
I beat yo ass, you better not run to your father
I beat yo ass, you know my patience runnin' thin
I got beaucoup payments to make
County building's on my ass
Tryna take my food stamps away
I beat yo ass if you tell them social workers he live here
I beat yo ass if I beat yo ass twice and you still here
Seven years old, think you run this house by yourself?
Nigga, you gon' fear me if you don't fear no one else

If I could smoke fear away, I'd roll that mothafucka up
And then I'd take two puffs
I'm high now, I'm high now
I'm high now, I'm high now
Life's a bitch, pull them panties to the side now
I don't think I could find a way to make it on this earth

I'll prolly die anonymous
I'll prolly die with promises
I'll prolly die walkin' back home from the candy house
I'll prolly die because these colors are standin' out
I'll prolly die because I ain't know Demarcus was snitchin'
I'll prolly die at these house parties, fuckin' with bitches
I'll prolly die from witnesses leavin' me falsed accused
I'll prolly die from thinkin' that me and your hood was cool
Or maybe die from pressin' the line, actin' too extra
Or maybe die because these smokers
Are more than desperate
I'll prolly die from one of these bats and blue badges
Body slammed on black and white paint, my bones snappin'
Or maybe die from panic or die from bein' too lax
Or die from waitin' on it, die 'cause I'm movin' too fast
I'll prolly die tryna buy weed at the apartments
I'll prolly die tryna diffuse two homies arguin'
I'll prolly die 'cause that's what you do when you're 17
All worries in a hurry, I wish I controlled things

If I could smoke fear away, I'd roll that mothafucka up
And then I'd take two puffs
I've been hungry all my life
I'm high now, I'm high now
I'm high now, I'm high now
Life's a bitch, pull them panties to the side now
Now...

When I was 27, I grew accustomed to more fear
Accumulated 10 times over throughout the years
My newfound life made all of me magnified
How many accolades do I need to block denial?
The shock value of my success put bolts in me
All this money, is God playin' a joke on me?
Is it for the moment, and will he see me as Job?
Take it from me and leave me worse than I was before?
At 27, my biggest fear was losin' it all
Scared to spend money, had me sleepin' from hall to hall
Scared to go back to Section 8 with my mama stressin'
30 shows a month and I still won't buy me no Lexus
What is an advisor? Somebody that's holdin' my checks
Just to fuck me over and put my finances in debt?
I read a case about Rihanna's accountant and wondered
How did the bad girl feel when she looked at them numbers?
The type of shit'll make me flip out
And just kill somethin', drill somethin'
Get ill and fill ratchets with a lil' somethin'
I practiced runnin' from fear, guess I had some good luck
At 27 years old, my biggest fear was bein' judged
How they look at me reflect on myself, my family, my city
What they say 'bout me reveal
If my reputation would miss me
What they see from me
Would trickle down generations in time
What they hear from me
Would make 'em highlight my simplest lines

I'm talkin' fear, fear of losin' creativity
I'm talkin' fear, fear of missin' out on you and me
I'm talkin' fear, fear of losin' loyalty from pride
'Cause my DNA won't let me involve in the light of God
I'm talkin' fear, fear that my humbleness is gone
I'm talkin' fear, fear that love ain't livin' here no more
I'm talkin' fear, fear that it's wickedness or weakness
Fear, whatever it is, both is distinctive
Fear, what happens on Earth stays on Earth
And I can't take these feelings with me
So hopefully they disperse
Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax
Searchin' for resolutions until somebody get back
Fear, what happens on Earth stays on Earth
And I can't take these feelings with me
So hopefully they disperse
Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax
Wonderin' if I'm livin' through fear or livin' through rap

[Bēkon:]
Damn
Goddamn you
Goddamn me
Goddamn us
Goddamn we
Goddamn us all

[Carl Duckworth:]
Verse two says you only have I known of all the families of the Earth, therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. So until we come back to these commandments, until you come back to these commandments, we're gonna feel this way, we're gonna be under this curse. Because he said he's gonna punish us, the so-called Blacks, Hispanics, and Native American Indians, are the true children of Israel. We are the Israelites according to the Bible. The children of Israel, he's gonna punish us for our iniquities, for our disobedience, because we chose to follow other gods that aren't his son, so the Lord, thy God, chasten thee. So, just like you chasten your own son, he's gonna chastise you because he loves you. So that's why we get chastised, that's why we're in the position we're in. Until we come back to these laws, statutes and commandments, and do what the Lord said, these curses are gonna be upon us. We're gonna be at a lower state in this life that we live here in today, in the United States of America. I love you, son, and I pray for you. God bless you, shalom.

GOD. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

This what God feel like, yeah
Laughing to the bank like aha, yeah
Flex on swole like aha, yeah
You feel some type of way then, aha, yeah

Every since a young man
All I want to be was a gunman
Shooting up the charts, better, run man
Ya'll gotta see that I won man
Slick as El DeBarge with the finger ways, work at JT
Handle balls like a fade, watch me work at JT
I'm at large, running plays like a circuit, JT
I'm selling verses, Jay Z, watch me work at JT
Look, look, hold up
Don't judge me, my mama caught me with a strap
Don't judge me, I was young fucking all the rats
Don't judge me, aiming at your head for a stack
Don't judge me
Don't judge me, now my home got a Valley peak
Don't judge me, if I press your line, you a freak
Don't judge me, won't you tell a friend ya'll gon' see

This what God feel like, yeah
Laughing to the bank like aha, yeah
Flex on swole like aha, yeah
You feel some type of way then, aha, yeah

Fuck is you talking to?
Aye, do you know who you talking to?
Slide on you like fallen drapes
God toss full of carnivals
I kill 'em with kindness
Or I kill 'em with diamonds
Or I put up like fifteen hundred
Get your ass killed by the finest
Everything life is a gamble
Nothing in life I can't handle
Seen it all, done it all, felt pain more
For the cars, I done put blood on sword
Everything I do is to embrace y'all
Everything I write is a damn eight ball
Everything I touch is a damn gold mine
Everything I say is from an angel

I don't rush shit, fuck shit, always your shit, my shit
Cannonballs to ignite shit
Morning to the night shift, I'm on
I ain't sorry for it, ask for a piece of mine, you charged me for it
I wanna see sometimes if you ignore it
I'm in the streets sometimes and can't afford it
I got a bad habit, levitate, ducking haters
Oh my, my heart is rich, my heart is famous

This what God feel like, yeah (this what God feel like)
Laughing to the bank like aha (this what God feel like)
Yeah (this what God feel like)
Flex on swole like aha (this what God feel like)
Yeah (this what God feel like)
You feel some type of way then, aha (this what God feel like)
This what God feel like
Yeah (This what God feel like)
This what God feel like

DUCKWORTH. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

It was always me versus the world
Until I found it's me versus me
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
Just remember what happens on earth stays on earth!
We gon' put it in reverse

Darling I told you many times, and I am telling you once again
Just to remind you sweetheart that my...

Oh Lamar, hail Mary a marijuana, times is hard
Pray with the hooligans, shadows all in the dark
Fellowship with demons and relatives, I'm a star
Life is one funny mothafucka
The true comedian, you gotta love him, you gotta trust him
I might be buggin', infomercials and no sleep
Introverted by my thoughts
Children listen, it gets deep
See once upon a time inside the niggas in garden projects the object was to process and digest poverty's dialect
Adaptation inevitable, gun violence, crack spot
Federal policies raid buildings and drug professionals
Anthony was the oldest of seven, well respected, calm and collected
Laughin' and joking made life easier
Hard times, momma on crack, and forty oh telling his nanny he needed her
His family history pimpin' and bangin', he was meant to be dangerous
Clocked him a grip and start slangin', fifteen scrapin' up his jeans with quarter pieces
He even got some head from a smoker last weekend
Dodged a policeman workin' for his big homie
Small time hustler, graduated to a brick on him
Ten thousand dollars out of a project housing
That's on the daily, saw his first mil twenty years old
Had a couple of babies
Had a couple of shooters, caught a murder case
Fingerprints on the gun
They assumin', but witnesses couldn't prove it
That was back when they turned his back and they killed his cousin
He beat the case and went back to hustlin'
Bird shufflin', Anthony rang
The first in the projects with the two-tone Mustang
That 5.0 thing
They say 5-0 came circlin' parkin' lots and parking spots
And hoppin' out while the rats in the corner blocks
Crooked cops told Anthony he should kick it
He brushed them off and walked back to the Kentucky Fried Chicken
See at this chicken spot there was this light-skinned nigga that talked a lot
With a curly top and a gap in his teeth
He worked the window, his name was Ducky
He came from the streets the Robert Taylor Homes
Southside Projects, Chiraq, the Terror Dome
Drove to California with a woman on and 500 dollars
They had a son hoping that he'd see college
Hustlin' on the side with a nine to five to freak it
Cadillac Seville, he'd ride his son around on weekends
Three-piece special with his name on the shirt pocket
'Cross the street from the projects, Anthony planned to rob it
Stuck up the place before back in '84, that's when affiliation was really eight gears of war
So many relatives telling us, selling us devilish works
Killing us crime, intelligent, felonious, prevalent proposition with nines
Ducky was well aware, they robbed the manager and shot a customer last year
He figured he'd get on these niggas good sides, free chicken every time Anthony posted in line
Two extra biscuits, Anthony liked him and then let him slide
They didn't kill him, in fact it look like they're the last to survive
Pay attention, that one decision changed both of they lives
One curse at a time, reverse the manifest and good karma and I'll tell you why
You take two strangers and put 'em in random predicaments
Give 'em a soul so they can make their own choices and live with it
Twenty years later them same strangers might make a meet again
Inside recording studios where they reaping the benefits
Then they start reminding 'bout that chicken incident
Whoever thought the greatest rapper would be from coincidence
Because if Anthony killed Ducky, Top Dawg could be servin' life
While I grew up without a father and die in a gun fight

So I was taking a walk the other day...

Untitled 01 L 08.19.2014. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

Come here, girl
Oh, you want me to touch you right there?
Oh, like a little lamb, play in your hair
Oh you want it? Oh you want it right now
Like that? I got you baby
All on you baby
Push it back on daddy
Push it back on daddy baby

I seen it vividly jogging my brain memory, life is…
I seen it vividly jogging my brain memory
Life is long as infinity this was the final calling
No birds chirping or flying, no dogs barking
We all nervous and crying, moving in caution
In disbeliefs our beliefs the reason for all this
The tallest building plummet, cracking and crumbling
The ground is shaking, swallowing young woman
With a baby, daisies, and other flowers burning in destruction
The smell is disgusting, the heat is unbearable
Preachers touching on boys run for cover, the paranoid
Rapists and murderers hurdle alleys
Valleys and high places turn into dust
Famous screaming in agony
Atheists for suicide, planes falling out the sky
Trains jumping off the track, mothers yelling “he’s alive”
Backpedaling Christians settling for forgiveness
Evidence all around us the town is covered in fishes
Ocean water dried out, fire burning more tires out
Tabernacle and city capital turned inside out
Public bathroom, college classroom’s been deserted
Another trumpet has sounded off and everyone heard it
(It’s happening) no more running from world wars
(It’s happening) no more discriminating the poor
(It’s happening) no more bad bitches and real niggas
Wishing for green and gold the last taste of allure
I swore I seen it vividly
A moniker of war from heaven that play the symphony
Thunder like number four, then I heard
“What have you did for me”
I fell to my knees, pulled out my resume
That dated back to June 17th, 1987
My paperwork was like a receipt
I was valedictorian, I was fearful of judgment
But confident I had glory in all my past endeavors
Close my eyes pray to god that I live forever
Dark skies, fire and brimstone, some of us sent home
Some of us never did wrong but still went to hell
Geez Louise I thought you said that I excel
I made To Pimp a Butterfly ‘fore you told me
To use my vocals to save man-kind for you
Say I didn’t try for you, say I didn’t ride for you
I tithed for you, I pushed the club to the side for you
Who love you like I love you?
Crucifix, tell me you can fix
Anytime I need, I’mma start jotting everything in my diary
Never would you lie to me
Always camaraderie, I can see, our days been numbered
Revelation greatest as we hearing the last trumpet
All man, child, woman, life completely went in reverse
I guess I’m running in place trying to make it to church

Young nigga act an ass
Young nigga act a fool
Young nigga get yo’ cash
Young nigga do what it do
Young nigga go, young nigga go
Young nigga go, young nigga go
Whatever makes all of you happy in this bitch
Just take it all back before the light switch

Untitled 02 L 06.23.2014. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

Pimp-pimp hooray
Pimp-pimp hooray
Hooray
Pimp-pimp hooray
Pimp-pimp

I’m sick and tired of being tired
Can’t pick a side, the Gemini
Prophesize if we living, I
Promise momma not to feel no lie
Seen black turn ’em Burgundy
Hundred of them, I know I’m greedy
Stuck inside the belly of the beast
Can you please pray for me?

Get God on the phone
Said it won’t be long
I see jiggaboos, I see Styrofoams
My hood going brazy
Where did we go wrong?
I see jiggaboos, I see Styrofoams
Get Top on the phone
Tell the squad come home
We gon’ ball again ‘fore he call us home
World is going brazy
Where did we go wrong?
It’s a tidal wave, it’s a thunderdome

Get God on the phone
I just got a raise (I just got a raise)
Spent it all on me (I spent it all on me)
Diamonds all appraised (diamonds all appraised)
And I’m bossing up (and I’m bossing up)
Bitch get out the way (bitch get out the way)
I’m the only way, we can fornicate
Ah, pimping and posing, look what I drove in, ah
Having these hoes and I know that I’m chosen, ah
I live by the code and me and my bros and
Ah, my dollars ain’t foldin’, you was never the homie

Seen black turn ’em Burgundy
Hundred of them, I know I’m greedy
Stuck inside the belly of the beast
Can you please pray for me?

Get God on the phone
Said it won’t be long
I see jiggaboos, I see Styrofoams
My hood going brazy
Where did we go wrong?
I see jiggaboos, I see Styrofoams
Get Top on the phone
(What’s up, my nigga?)

Cornrow Kenny, he was born with a vision
All morning with the mixed dashboards triple digits
Parallel park like an alien, can’t visit
Slideshow for the night show, ten bitches
Find hoes with a blindfold, King Kendrick
(Hello Billy)
So many plays on me I finesse
Palisade views with some sex
I lost a lot of love for missionary
This the first time I confess
Me and Top is like a Kobe and Phil
A father figure fuck with him, you get killed
Fuck with me and he will kill you himself
TDE the mafia of the west
Move in silence, yeah, we juggin’ like that
Act of violence, yeah, we juggin’ like that
I did a lot of dumb shit in my past
Lord forgive me, hoping I don’t relapse
Dave just bought a new nine eleven
Almost thought I’d seen another plane crash
Q just bought a brand new McLaren
Rock-a-lack about to buy the projects
Moosa got his son dripping in gold
Ali ’bout to let his hair down on hoes
Me, I’m about to let my hair down on hoes
Top billing that’s a million a show
Might blow the whole no whammy on Soul
Might tell Obama be more like Punch
Sounwave caught a Grammy last year
Mack wop, bet he do what he want
Fuck you niggas, level two I’m not done
2Teez told me that I am the one
I can put a rapper on life support
Guarantee that’s something none of you want
Ten homies down and they all serving life
Water’s like twenty-five hundred a month
What if I empty my bank out and stunt?
What if I certified all of these ones?
Bitch I get buck, I’m as real as they come
Shit is amazing, I’m feeding my cravings
You know that you want me come here now lil’ baby
I’m fuckin, I’m crazy
Serving it like I belong in the basement
Or live at the Days Inn
Yan Yan my relative, black cherry soda
Pistol and poverty, come get to know us
(Get Top on the phone)

Who doing the drums?
Man put that nigga on the drums man
Yep all day, Mortal Man and Kunta
Alright, from the top!

Untitled 03 L 05.28.2013. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

[Kendrick Lamar:]
So I met this young lady, ya know, when I went back home. I was tryna spit my best game to her, you know, give her my best cap, but she kept on snapping her fingers like snaps. I said “You know what, girl? You crazy.” Then she asked me what he said

[Kendrick Lamar and Anna Wise:]
(What did the Asian say?)
A peace of mind
That’s what the Asian said, I need a divine
Intervention was his religion and I was surprised
Him believing in Buddha, me believing in God
Asked him what are you doing, he said “taking my time”
Meditation is a must, it don’t hurt if you try
See you thinking too much, plus you too full of yourself
Worried about your career, you ever think of your health?
(What did the Indian say?)
A piece of land
That’s what the Indian said, I needed demand
Telling me longevity is in the dirt, should buy some property first
Should profit a better dollar with generational perks
Equity at his best, really, you should invest
These tangible things expire, don’t you expect
Income with so much outcome and yes
Look at my heritage, we blessed
(Now what the black man say?)
A piece of pussy
That’s what the black man said, I needed to push me
To the limit to satisfy my hunger
We do it all for a woman from hair cut to a wool
We like to live in the jungle, like to play in the peach
What you saying to me?
He said “nigga, come back to reality for a week”
Pussy is power, fuck on a new bitch every night
I wouldn’t be prouder, you should allow it
(What the white man say?)
A piece of mine’s
That’s what the white man wanted when I rhyme
Telling me that he selling me just for $10.99
If I go platinum from rapping, I do the company fine
What if I compromise? He said it don’t even matter
You make a million or more, you living better than average
You losing your core following, gaining it all
He put a price on my talent, I hit the bank and withdraw
Hit the bank and withdraw, hit the bank and withdraw
Put myself in the rocket ship and I shot for the stars
Look at what you accomplished and what he said to the boy
I’mma make you some promises that you just can’t ignore
Your profession anonymous as an artist
If I don’t target your market
If you ain’t signing your signature when I throw you my wallet
A lot of rappers are giving their demo all in the toilet
You work toward your master’s mortgage, I need a piece

[Bilal:]
I holler, “What you do? What you say?”
I shall enjoy the fruits of my labor if I get freed today
I holler, “What you do? What you say?”
I shall enjoy the fruits of my labor if I get freed today

What the black man say?
Tell ’em we don’t die, tell ’em we don’t die
Tell ’em we don’t die, we multiply
Tell ’em we don’t die, tell ’em we don’t die
Tell ’em we don’t die, we multiply
Tell ’em we don’t die, tell ’em we don’t die
Tell ’em we don’t die, we multiply
Tell ’em we don’t die, tell ’em we don’t die
Tell ’em we don’t die, we multiply

Untitled 04 L 08.14.2014. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

[SZA (Kendrick Lamar):]
They say the government mislead the youth, youth, youth, youth
(Tell ’em when you went to the park and everybody came back and…)
And welfare don’t mean well for you, you, you, you
(What about when you tried to do a side for that but you…)
They tell me that my bill’s past due, due, due, due
(Talk about the charge you got…)
And preacher man don’t always tell the truth, truth, truth
(Do you believe in God? If you don’t, it’s cool)

[SZA & Jay Rock (Kendrick Lamar):]
(But) head is the answer, head is the future
Don’t second guess yourself
(Don’t tell them when you second guess yourself I need you in the kitchen now I forgot…)
Come on give me some help, yeah
Head is the answer, head is the future
Don’t second guess yourself
Come on, give me some help

[Lance Skiiiwalker:]
And I just wanna
And I just wanna
Straight up
Eyes with my head
And I can’t use some help
Straight up

[SZA:]
Head is the future

Untitled 05 L 09.21.2014. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

[Anna Wise & Kendrick Lamar:]
Somebody said you bumped your head and bled the floor
Jumped into a pit of flames and burned to coal
Drowned inside the lake outside away you flow
And that means the world to me
And that means the world to me
And that means the world to me
And that means the world to me
Somebody said you bumped your head and bled the floor
Jumped into a pit of flames and burned to coal
Drowned inside the lake outside away you flow
And this I know

[Kendrick Lamar:]
I got 100 on my dash, got 200 in my trunk
Name in the grab bags, put my Bible in the trunk
Taaka vodka on the top of my binocular I’m drunk
How can I can make them popular, pop em’ when I want
See I’m livin’ with anxiety, duckin’ the sobriety
Fuckin’ up the system I ain’t fuckin’ with society
Justice ain’t free, therefore justice ain’t me
So I justify his name on obituary
Why you wanna see a good man with a broken heart?
Once upon a time I used to go to church and talk to God
Now I’m thinkin’ to myself, hollow tips is all I got
Now I’m drinkin’ by myself, at the intersection, parked
Watch you when you walk inside your house
You threw your briefcase all on the couch
I plan on creeping through your fuckin’ door and blowin’ out
Every piece of your brain until your son jump in your arms
Cut on the engine, then sped off in the rain
I’m gone

[Anna Wise:]
Somebody said you bumped your head and bled the floor
Jumped into a pit of flames and burned to coal
Drowned inside the lake outside away you flow
And that means the world to me
And that means the world to me
And that means the world to me
And that means the world to me

[Punch & Kendrick Lamar:]
Drove alone, with a bottle of his own grippin’ the handle
Lit off henny, I’m tryna dismantle
These wicked ways, I’ve engaged in such a gamble
Cause I could speak the truth and I know the world would unravel, wait
That’s a bit ambitious maybe I’m trippin’
Maybe I’m crazy, maybe I exist in a different dimension
Not to mention when I close my eyes I see the distance
It’s such a scary sight so I rarely go to sleep at night
I watch the sun rise then I watch the sun fall
Studied the son of God but still don’t recognize my flaws
I guess I’m lost, the cost of being successful is equal to being neglectful
I pray my experience helps you
As for me I’m tryna sort it out
Searching for loopholes in my bruised soul
But who knows?
I just need a little space to breathe
I know perception is key, so I am king

[Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock:]
The other side has never mortified my mortal mind
The borderline between insanity is father time
I fall behind my skeleton, they tell me that I’m blind
I know that I’m intelligence, my confidence just died
Carpe diem, seize the day, I can’t compromise
A tape worm couldn’t cure this gluttonous appetite
A couple trinkets, they seein me as I pacify
But couldn’t fathom the meaning of seein’ sacrifice
I’m passin’ lives on a daily, maybe I’m losing faith
Genocism and capitalism just made me hate
Correctionals and these private prisons gave me a date
Professional dream killers reason why I’m awake
I’m sleep walkin’, I’m street stalkin’, I’m outta place
Reinforcing this heat barking, these are the brakes
Before I blink do I see me before them pearly gates?
Or this is just a mirage or a facade
Wait

Untitled 06 L 06.30.2014. lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

These metamorphic supernatural forces dominate what I see
A Gemini, duality personalities always conflict in me

[Kendrick Lamar & CeeLo Green:]
Oh! But don’t be scared of me, girl
I can explain
I know it’s foreign to you
I know it’s hard to believe
God give me the favor
Let me explain
More than a compliment
And I could use some assistance, let me show you how
I can explain
Oh shando! I spin around two times
I’ll be there with the answer
Let me explain

[Cee Lo:]
I’m bizarre, avant-garde
Both sides of me are evenly odd
It’s attractive
You’re intrigued
Am I mortal man or make believe?
Anything you want
I can explain
I can explain it
Any misunderstandings, baby
Let me explain
I can explain it
Why don’t you sit and talk to me?
I can explain
Let me explain it, ah yeah
Let me explain

[Kendrick Lamar:]
My mama told me that I was different the moment I was invented
Estranged baby, no I’m not ashamed
I recommend every inch of your lunatic ways
Praise the lord, you teach the kids how to be themself and plenty more
You know the male species can be redundant
I mean we love a woman and think we can satisfy her
Between sheets, covers and pillows
I’m promising your lack of tolerance stuck on a zero
I’m promising that I’m acknowledging you as my hero
Cause you believe in me
No you’re not easily impressed
But I possess qualities that you need to see
Look at my flaws, look at my flaws
Look at my imperfections in awe
Look how you think that my mystique is a round of applause
And yours equally valued
You stick out like an alien compared to those around you
And that’s alright because I like it
You and me are the same
Hopefully I’m invited, hopefully you don’t change
Because I know for sure who you are

[Kendrick Lamar & CeeLo Green:]
I can explain
Your mama raised you, your daddy raised you
Hand washing your clothes on Sunday
Let me explain
Walking your brother to school, three miles away
To feed him knowledge
I can explain
Don’t you explain that, don’t you explain the reason why your mind, it travels
Let me explain
I wanna know what you think
I wanna pick your brain when I see you
But don’t you ever
Let me explain
Oh shando!
I spin around two times, a blessing in disguise
I can explain
I know for sure who you are
You’re the goddess of the odd
I am yours
I can explain

[Kendrick Lamar:]
I am yours
I am yours
I am yours
I am yours
