Lamar, Kendrick - Kendrick Lamar Lyrics






I can tell you what it is, I can tell you what it isn't
No more K. Dot, my mother had named me Kendrick
Fuck a stage name, that's the name that I was given
The only thing that I can identify within this bidness
I'm just a good kid from Compton that want to rap
Weighing my options, pick up a Bible or a strap?
I never killed a man, never sold any crack
All I ever did was try to keep my city on the map
But this monkey on my back, y'all don't want me to win
I'm tryna follow dreams, you want me to follow trends
So just to get a dollar, will I sell my soul?
I look the Devil in the eye and tell him, hell no
They say anything worth having is worth the wait
Well I want the world, tell me how long that takes
There's no time like now, I can cut my patience/patients short
or give 'em some more gowns, I don't even want the crown
I just want a peace of mind, and nigga, when I get it
you won't get a piece of mine, won't you mind your own bidness?
A rich nigga buy anything you sell him
A broke nigga believe anything that you tell him
Well I'm a broke nigga
But still I wouldn't listen to you even if your hand was on a Bible quote, nigga
Pfttuh

See I was brought up different
Whatever that my pops said, for sure I'd listen
You said you did dirt, but I can't dig it
It don't concern you if you wasn't born in it
Oh-no-oh-oh
I swear we got to fast-forward...

Before time flies by
My new sound for '0-10 is, why lie?
And if you ain't trying to win, then why try?
Now you can low-ball or give me high five
This is I nigga, look into my eye
Nigga, I am Kendrick... Lamar
Nigga, my name is Kendrick... Lamar
I said my name is Kendrick... Lamar
I changed the name cause I was tired of being like y'all
Now finally I'm ready to tell the world who I are, pfttuh

And that used to be a hell of a task
Now I'm ahead of my class, so go ahead and harass
my character like it don't carry a
confidence that can marry a Halle Berry or Angelina with no cash
I'm bout to cash in my thoughts
Give you a compass, then tell you get lost
What I'm bout to accomplish is something that you can't fathom
Once the 'Eves' come, they quick to stare 'Adam'/at him
Hoping I don't take they bitch, but I'm on some other shit
When I'm done, I'm tryna run the government
They are big dreams
Transition from a rapper to a human being, you can't 'school' a dean
I be tutoring artist-es, leave 'em with no audience
All cause they all oversaw it, my God
Y'all be out partying, I be stealing your audience
All because who I are, Lamar

But my first name, it gotta be Kendrick... Lamar
Nigga, my name is Kendrick... Lamar
I changed the name cause I was tired of being like y'all
Now finally I'm ready to tell the world who I are, now let's go
But we can't go... backwards

    Nobody pray for me
    Even a day for me
    Way (yeah, yeah!)

    Ay, I remember syrup sandwiches and crime allowances
    Finesse a nigga with some counterfeits
    But now I'm countin' this
    Parmesan where my accountant lives
    In fact, I'm downin' this
    D'USSÉ with my boo bae, tastes like Kool-Aid for the analysts
    Girl, I can buy yo' 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 playin' 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
    Its levels to it, you and I know, bitch, be humble

    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)
    (Hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, hol' up) bitch, sit down
    Lil' bitch (hol' up, lil' bitch) be humble
    (Hol' up, bitch) sit down
    (Hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, hol' up) be humble
    (Hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, lil' bitch) sit down
    (Hol' up lil' bitch) be humble
    (Hol' up, bitch) sit down
    (Hol' up, sit down, lil' bitch)
    (Sit down, lil' bitch, be humble)
    (Hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, lil' bitch) bitch, sit down
    (Hol' up, 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 fuckin' up your whole life
    I'm so fuckin' sick and tired of the Photoshop
    Show me somethin' natural like afro on Richard Pryor
    Show me somethin' natural like ass with some stretchmarks
    Still will take you down right on your mama's couch in Polo socks, ay
    This shit way too crazy, ay, you do not amaze me, ay
    I blew cool from AC, ay, Obama just paged me, ay
    I don't fabricate it, ay, most of y'all be fakin', ay
    I stay modest 'bout it, ay, she elaborate it, ay
    This that Grey Poupon, that Evian, that TED Talk, ay
    Watch my soul speak, you let the meds talk, ay
    If I kill a nigga, it won't be the alcohol, ay
    I'm the realest nigga after all, bitch, be humble

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

    I am a big fan of kendrick, I love his music, style, and everything. And today in class we had a substitute and she said that she was a councilor in a high school, and she said that she had a student that said he wanted to be a rapper. She told us that he worked hard to achieve his goal and he did, and he was kendrick lamar. I honestly don't believe her but she can be right
