Kendrick Lamar - Kush & Corinthians (His Pain) Lyrics






[Kendrick Lamar]
Check, check, check, check...
It go

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
Ride to it, ride to it, cause you never know
when a bullet might hit and you die to it, die to it
Die to it, die to it, live your life, live it right
Be different, do different things, don't do it like
he did, cause he ain't what you is, but we can win
Wait, let's get straight to the point

[Kendrick Lamar]
To the meaning of life, what's my purpose?
Maybe this earth is, ain't a good place to be
How far is Heaven? Let's see
Is it in the clouds like they said it would be?
I wonder when I die will he give me receipts?
I wonder will the eyes of the Lord look at me?
Look at me, look at me, I'm a loser, I'm a winner
I'm good, I'm bad, I'm a Christian, I'm a sinner
I'm humble, I'm loud, I'm righteous, I'm a killer
What I'm doing, I'm saying that I'm human, now people just

[Chorus]

[Kendrick Lamar]
It go one, two, three
Two in the front, one in the back seat, seat
Seat, seat, looking for a victim of an AK-47
Hundred round each, each, each
But why must we retaliate? Is it human nature?
I don't know, I look for the answers later
Make a right, there they go, sometimes gotta

[Chorus]

[Kendrick Lamar]
As I open this book and then burn up some of this reefer
My plan is to figure out the world and escape all my demons
I'm dying inside, I wonder if Zion inside the Heavens
A condom, a rollie, pain, a fat blunt and a MAC-11
That's all I see in my life and they tell me to make it right
But I'm right on the edge on Everest and I might jump tonight
Have you ever had known a saint that was taking sinner's advice?
Well it's probably you, am I right? If I'm wrong, you a fucking lie
When I lie on back and look at the ceiling, it's so appealing to pray
I wonder if I'm just a villain dealing my morals away
Some people look at my face, then tell me don't worry bout it
I give 'em back they deposit, no money, just total silence
I'm running, they say I'm wildin', a youngun with lack of guidance
There's hundreds of us with problems, more money, more drugs and violence
Look at the soul of an out-of-control artist that's dealing with life the hardest
That's on my life, but regardless I'ma

[Chorus]

[BJ the Chicago Kid]
Yeah, life can please ya, but death can tease ya
On the day Niko had that seizure, I lost one of my biggest believers, ohh
Close deaths make you think about your life
like if I had the same chance twice, what would I do different?
I'd tell her I loved her more, do more
but tease her bout crying on that picture
Now when I'm done recording, swear I let the beat bang in her name
Make her shake her head in Heaven saying they at it again
Make them clouds turn to speakers
Don't take too much smoke from the reefer
Love being in the room with her peoples
Now my love life murking it, family having surgeries
Hate it that the truth that chose for they life to be under me
Lord, what kind of life is this?
Mama, I just wanna sing
Mama said, according to get everything
you gotta risk everything
So I'm smoking my kush reading Corinthians
Smoking my kush reading Corinthians
Smoking my kush reading Corinthians
Smoking my kush reading Corinthians

[BJ the Chicago Kid croons to end]

    Ride to it, ride to it
    Cause you never know
    When a bullet might hit
    And you die to it, die to it
    Die to it, die to it
    Live your life, live it right
    Be different, do different things
    Don't do it like
    He did, cause he ain't what you is
    But we can win, wait
    Let's be straight, to the point
    To the meaning of life
    What's my purpose? Maybe this Earth is
    Ain't a good place to be
    How far is heaven? Let's see
    Is it in the clouds like they said it would be?
    I wonder when I die
    Will he give me receipts?
    I wonder will the eyes of the lord look at me?
    Look at me, look at me, I'm a loser, I'm a winner
    I'm good, I'm bad, I'm a Christian, I'm a sinner
    I'm humble, I'm loud, I'm righteous, I'm a killer
    What I'm doing, I'm saying that I'm human
    Now people just
    Ride to it, ride to it
    Cause you never know
    When a bullet might hit
    And you die to it, die to it
    Die to it, die to it
    Live your life, live it right
    Be different, do different things
    Don't do it like
    He did, cause he ain't what you is
    But we can win, wait
    Let's be straight, to the point
    It go 1, 2, 3
    Two in the front
    One in the back seat
    Seat, seat, seat
    Looking for a victim of an AK-47
    100 round each, each, each
    But why must we retaliate?
    Is it human nature?
    I don't know
    I look for the answers later
    Make a right, there they go!
    Some times gotta
    Ride to it, ride to it
    Cause you never know
    When a bullet might hit
    And you die to it, die to it
    Die to it, die to it
    Live your life, live it right
    Be different, do different things
    Don't do it like
    He did, cause he ain't what you is
    But we can win, wait
    Let's be straight, to the point
    As I open this book and then burn up some of this reefer
    My plan is to figure out the world and escape all my demons
    I'm dying inside, I wonder if Zion inside the heavens
    A condom, a rollie, pain, a fat blunt and a mack 11
    That's all I see in my life and they tell me to make it right
    But I"m right on the edge of Everest and I might jump tonight
    Have you ever had known a saint that was taking sinner's advice?
    Well it's probably you, am I right? If I'm wrong, you a fucking lie
    When I lie on back and look at the ceiling, it's so appealing to pray
    I wonder if I'm just a villain, dealing my morals away
    Some people look at my face then tell me don't worry about it
    I give em back they deposit, no money, just total silence
    I'm running, they say I'm wildin' a youngin' with lack of guidance
    That's hundreds of us with problems: more money, more drugs and violence
    Look at the soul of an out-of-control artist
    That's dealing with life the hardest
    That's on my life, but regardless I'ma
    Ride to it, ride to it
    Cause I never know
    When a bullet might hit
    And I die to it, die to it
    Die to it, die to it
    Live my life, live it right
    Be different, do different things
    Don't do it like
    He did, cause he ain't what I is
    But we can win, wait
    Let's be straight, to the point
    Yea, life can please ya
    But death can tease ya
    On the day Niko had that seizure
    I lost one of my biggest believers
    Close deaths make you think about your life
    Like if I had that same chance twice
    What would I do different?
    I'd tell her I loved her more
    Do more
    But tease her bout crying on that picture
    Now when I'm done recording
    Swear I let the beat bang in her name
    Make her shake her head in heaven saying
    They at it again
    Make them clouds turn to speakers
    Don't take too much smoke from the reefer
    Love being in the room with her peoples
    Now my love life murking it
    Family having surgeries
    Hate it that the truth that chose for they life to be under me
    Lord, what kind of life is this?
    Mama I just wanna sing
    Mama said, "According to get everything
    You gotta risk everything"

    How far is heaven ? Let's see...that verse strikes me everytime. Sec80 is my favourite Kendrick album. It has a special place in my heart. Took me trough high school. This year is my graduation. How time flies. Classic material.

    What happened to this kendrick? This kendrick helped me through so much as a teen, don't get me wrong his new stuff is good but its not this. Overly dedicated, section 80, and the majority of good kid all spoke to me on a very real personal level in addition to having that chill and soak it in flows to them. I feel like he's losing touch with this side of himself and I wish it wasnt so.

    Prep's Casket ok well we disagree on that but we can all agree TPAB is by far his worst solo project. which i guess is a compliment cause it isnt horrible jus not that great sounding. Alright, Welsley Theory, These Walls, and Aint Gotta Lie the only good songs off there

    T.... B....

    Yeah we need more upbeat and motivational songs like this
