Lamar, Kendrick - I Am (Interlude) Lyrics






See y'all don't understand me
My plan be is to win y'all hearts before I win a Grammy
Kendrick Lamar, words like a sword in the hands of a Spartan
marching on Rosecrans in Compton
You can't cause conflict or corrupt my spirit
I'm on point like period
I've been there and gone before you get near it
Ooh wee, that young boy remind me of a young Martin Luther
the way he piece up troopers, then round up shooters
Like Malcolm X did, I stand for what I believe in
Family, God and honor
From Chicago, my daddy and my momma
Came to Compton to accomplish one thing
Raise a king, reign supreme, named Kendrick
I ain't lying, it stand for king and I am one
My unborn son and grandson will live royal
from the coochie to the soil
The meek shall inherit the Earth
Well I've had this world since birth
Feel the good kid's hunger
The Crips made strong, the Pirus made stronger
Muscle in my heart
Stare at the eyes of Mozart, then tell him I'm the genius
Do my dougie and grab my penis
cause I means this with all my soul
And you can't control greatness 'less you hating with the heart of Satan
But even that can't stop it
Nigga, get out my wallet and put passion in your logic
Passion in your life, the passion of my Christ is in me
And if you say it ain't, you may offend me
Damn that boy good
Bright as Thomas Edison, but Gucci manhood
He stood alone for so long
Prolonged his whole career, but now he's here
You can shoot shots or cheer cause I... am

  6. K.... F....

    Saw him live having never heard this and when he said "Damn that boy's good. Bright as Thomas Edison but Gucci Mane hood" I don't think I've ever been so floored by a lyric. There's this air of 'destiny' around Kendrick being great and lines like that make you know he feels it and that's why he just exudes some kind of an aura of being the king

  7. E.... G....

    Wins your hearts before I win a grammy!!

  8. _.... I....

    You probably heard wanna be heard, and wonder who I am.
    You probably even listen to Faith & think I know Zion.

    Mr November he was quoting the brother of the person that died in sing about me. that whole second verse was him rapping in the shoes of the brother of the guy that got killed in the skit

  29. K.... ....

    All these ARTIST go MAINSTREAM and they think they are KINGS or GODS.

    This is the interlude to "I am", I AM is GOD, Yahweh! Is this a coincidence that Kanye, Jay Z, will.iam think they are gods? Ugh no they are defying God by self worship!
