Lamar, Kendrick - Vanity Slave Pt. 2 Lyrics
[Kendrick Lamar]
I swear you people don't know Kendrick, you don't know him
But you say you want some more Kendrick, I'm bout to show 'em
everything inside this human being, I'm still growing
I'm a premature, baby in this crazy life that we adore
Can't afford 'em so I tell the swap meet to clone 'em
I guess I really am a vanity slave
I guess my ancestors turning in they graves
Burning money when I get it, fuck a life savings
Overdraft bank statements just to make a statement
When I put this fashion on, I'm a fashion junkie
Picking cotton in the country, I bought this out the country
Whips and chains, whips and chains, Jacob know my name
He call me Kunta, you my brother, we come from the same
modern world, that's your girl? I see she rocking Fendi
Copping everything in sight, ignoring they sacrifice
Amnesia if I see the Black Visa in my hand tonight
I show my dick and then I swipe, that's a punchline
They was hot and I wore ice, that's ironic huh?
[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar (Gucci Mane)]
Word around town that I'm all about the bitches
Word around town that I love my twenty-sixes
Word around town that I gotta stay paid
Lord please forgive me, I'm a vanity slave
(It's the Guc', cock and shoot
Found my swag but lost my roof, BURR! BURR!)
Lord please forgive me, I'm a vanity slave
(See my Audemar tick as my Audemar tock)
Lord please forgive me, I'm a vanity slave (BURR!)
[Kendrick Lamar]
Aw man, videos got me wanting hoes
Appetite for flashing lights, all I can do is pose
A black male, on Melrose
I should get blackmailed, buy my people hell Rose
Niggas that ain't had shit for four-hundred years
overcompensate by over-accessorising with gear
Many of y'all don't see my vision
I do it for the love of Hip Hop and the love of bitches
Am I a hypocrite cause everyday I'm contradicting?
I think of how I'm living, then I watch "How I'm Livin'"
I know this can't be right, my conscience tell me to stay righteous
It's unlikely to see what I like and say I don't like it
Biggest dilemma, my priorities ignoring me
I wanna move accordingly, but baby steps are premature remember?
I'm flying to the south and I'll be gone till November
to see my family tree, but this a shame I'm yelling out timber
[Chorus]
[Kendrick Lamar (Gucci Mane)]
Cold, oh so cold
How ironic? He bought it, then sold his soul
Is it masonic for your vice to take it's toll?
The remote control is taking control
Lift up the doors
That Lamborghini I wanted come with a dumb-ass model that in Vogues
I like 'em both, I'll wife 'em both
Take these motherfucking Jordans off, put on my Loafs
Cause nothing goes bad every time I wear (Gucci!)
I'm getting more ass every time I wear (Gucci!)
They tell me it's a fad every time I wear (Gucci!)
But should I give a fuck when it bring me more coochie?
This a young nigga's pedigree, I pray the Lord can better me
If not he bout to strike me down like this my third felony
Them voices keep on telling me, Kendrick don't forget about us
I burned my wardrobe, hoping that I could live without it
[Chorus]

Lamar, Kendrick Vanity Slave Pt. 2 Comments
I used to take a heavy amount of Shrooms to this song in my car. Takes me back every time I hear it now. Saw demons and then turned into the heavens after the fear vanished. good times.
That lowkey banger
I need this fucking beat!
Still slaps
2019 😈😈😈
Best song ever made!!!!!
There is a version of this song where Gucci has a verse. I can’t find it. HELP ME!!!!
2019 still bumpin
2019!!!!!!
My favorite Kendrick song
Damn....
Gemini + Aquarius = Masterpiece
Underrated Asf
10/08/2018. 👌
Can't decide if I like this or part 1 better😥😥😥
2018 still 🔥🔥🔥
I've never made it threw this song lol
What's up
This goes to show you all...Kanye's statement was 100% correct.
this song hard asab
Here in 2018
I been Listening to this since 2012 and I'm still not over it !👌
This track is 4:44 long🤔
How this hasn't got a milli views is kind of crazy. This my shit! Glad a small group of people only know the real kendrick
complex brought me back here
Listening to k dot new album , something just told me to come back to this song just to hear it because it used to be my favorite back in the day ..
already bro I did the same shit
mad slept on
I love how Kendrick Incorporated Lil B into his chours
Powerful ass lyrics
So current not to mention those first few bars were 🔥🔥🔥🔥
wow haven't heard this in such a long time !!!! perfect sequel to Vanity Slaves pt. 1
Great song by two of my fav rappers
Gucci hardly said shit in this song wtf !!
+THEHIPHOPMENSA 😂😂😂
It didn't need a sequel this is trash.
Guccis new mixtape fuckin slaps, I didn't fuck with tpab though, looking forward to schoolboy Qs new album, free the wop , we need some fire .
what was it u didn't like bout tpab
The rhyme schemes bored the hell out of me as well as the beats, yeah he was lyrical and conceptual on it, but sonically it didn't hit with me enough to evoke emotion, the only songs I fucked with that displayed great rhyme schemes and delivery were Wesleys theory, blacker the berry, hold politics , alright., and those particular songs are some of my favorite songs ever. As a whole I didn't like the album , that's just me personally though. King kunta had the most elementary flow, and these walls he was practically talkin on.
+Bob Thes but Gucci mane is exciting ??lmao he's garbage bro if imma listen to southern artists it's people like 3stacks scarface t.I. jay electronica ...hell Kevin gates is better than Gucci.....
Maurice Smith isaiah rashad and tut needa be on that list
This is the only song Kendrick Lamar and Gucci mane made. There should be more Kendrick Lamar ft. Gucci Mane.
He out now my nigga so maybe
SubMachineFrost damn man, you a visionaire. there will be a k-dot x gucci x rae sremmurd x mike will made it track in mike's next album
Ravi Freitas lol it happen
SubMachineFrost perfect pint look it up
Either this song isn't official or he Gucci doesn't remember making it, because a recent interview Gucci says he never worked with Kendrick but he would like to do it. http://www.billboard.com/amp/articles/columns/hip-hop/7881139/gucci-mane-interview-foot-action-collaboration-atlanta-style-kendrick-lamar
I may not have money but I have a whole lotta sauce, and if you don't have sauce then then you're lost, but sometimes you could also get lost in the sauce… -Gucci Mane-
Joshua Hollins L
Gucci Mane is the GREATEST RAPPER EVER! U gotta get STAMPED 4rm Gucci if you want some. Gucci been ownin the rap ever since 2006. Gucci never went platinum but he got way more money than this fake ass rappers that did. Nobody has more music features and mixtapes than Gucci. Waka Oj juice Jeezy Dolph Peewee Migos Thug Chief Keef Gotti Nicki SD ILoveM Scooter Future Slim Dunkin Fetty Wap Kevin Gates 2 Chainz Throwback Kendrick Lamar Nino Brown they all went thru Gucci to start of their careers. Zaytoven 808 Mafia Southside Lex Luger Dj Holiday Mike Will Metro Boomin was 1st discovered by Gucci. Gucci a real street nigga that don't lie in his raps he got murder charges. How many times do hear an rapper sayin thanks to Gucci 4 helpin my career. Emenim says he's a "Rap God" Lol. GUCCI IS THE ONLY ENTERTAINER EVER 2 HAVE AN VIDEO OF PPL IS IN A CHURCH PRAYING 2 HIM. Gucci Mane!
#TRAPGOD
+Chin Chin wrong
Wrong as fuck, you don't even know what you're talking about
I'm sorry but you so wrong its insane
Kendrick is one of the realest. Sit down
FREE THE GOAT
"Word around town that I'm all about the bitches,Word around town that I love my 26's,Word around town that I gotta stay paid
Lord please forgive me I'm a vanity slave"
I should off myself for not knowing this existed.
Mor4draco Rules...It's so many underground Kendrick Lamar songs I had no idea existed. it's crazy
Classic, well before he signed a major deal, part 1still go hard too !
+Eugene Wooten that's a chop
Lord please forgive me i'm a vanity slave.
1:04 King kunta was born.
+Joseph Koroma neck
Thought gucci sayd "found my swag but lost my roots" idk tho rly
+Joe Sanchez Roof.
@Sixth Savior
+carlos L True.
What album is this?
@antgerm21 Kendrick Lamar - Unreleased (Mixtape)
I already found it, thanks anyway. I've been blasting that song ever since.....lol
+antgerm21 Did you listen to part 1 ? Crazy lol
Yeah I did, that's just as nice, I really fell in love with adhd and tammy song
They were better before they got Famous and gay !!!! Now they suck !!!!! xD
@J dawg ! No one wants to hear your opinion. Fuck, when did watching videos turn into some dumb nigga pointless buzzfeed to the world. Speak when having actually something to say or don't speak at all. This rule should be applied to your whole life and all your fucking media sources.
Fuck you Alex ! Go die !!!!
@J dawg ! Man how can you be a fan and be a internet hater. The age of immaturity is ending catch up because your trend is dying off whether you know it or not.
+J dawg ! They won't get paid and be able to support their families if they stay underground all their rap careers
Jamie Collins Yeah but they ways it can be done
this dude is off the hook
Love how Gucci is on the track one of the biggest vanity slaves ever. What a paradox
I think that's the point Kendrick takes mainstream rappers and subtly mocks them on his songs kinda like Lupe in poor decisions with Ross and wale
It was a sample.
+TheVinc123 neeeeck
He's making fun of Gucci in this song, Gucci never did this feature
NewCharlie101 every rapper from 2016-17 are vanity slaves now lol
waiting on some new kendrick....this is legit and this didn't make any mixtapes
GundamKing Just like his song "The Relevant"
The message in this song is so strong. And a lot of people still won't understand. "Tragic"
he spelled it out
James Humphrey I gotit
CLASSIC. This track right here had me and everyone i showed this to think about life and theyre addiction to trends......defintely a top 10 kdot track in my opinion
Gucci mane is way more clever than you think
Aurora Lara 😂😂
Jamie Charles nigga this a sample from a song the intelligence behind this is all kendrick
Jamie Charles Way more clever
Jamie Charles you sure look at his old videos 😂😂😂
Gucci’s verse is a sample
For those who say vanity slaves part 2 is better u have to analyze the concept change. Think of it as the difference between section 80 Nd GKMC. Party 1 was him telling our story, nd this was his story. You think it's better because you relate to it more. That because he is talking about YOU.
very well explained !
@Darius Bentley I dont think anyone thinks that vanity slaves pt 2 is better.
It is better
If you think Lendrick is ripping on Gucci you're obviously not listening to Kendrick's lyrics? "Million? Can't see my vision. I do it for the love of hip hop, and the love of bitches."
This track crazy nice. Word around town that I gotta stay paid. Lord please forgive me ima vanity slave
I just got some rims on my whip so I guess I really am a Vanity slave
my shiiiiiiiiiiittt
burr burr
this song remind me of some one special
Thanks, man
The truth!!!
We used to be burnt to a crisp
And mocked for our big lips
Now our goals are to be thick bitch
Or a nigga with a big dick
That sells bricks and gangsters like crips
He's so lyrical and understanding I can really relate to his songs
Fmoi @__danksiinatra
this is why i love kendrick.
Are you high?
Wish these two were still in the game. Had it on lock.
this was that secret hip hop blog shit... and now look where he is. 3 years later. insane.
one of the first songs i heard from Kendrick and I fell in love with it, he taking the game to a another level today!!
part 3?????!!!!!!
Kendrick's wordplay is deeper than that. Roof meaning dome, meaning his mind. He found his swagg, but lost himself in the process.
"Found my swagg, but lost my roof" The roof of his car (a convertible) duhh
love it.not just cause my name vanity either.
also track is very very well
translate on Russian pls
Lol gucci part is from his own song it's just a sample
your addicted to electricity
i honestly see it from an artistic point n i think Gucci was feat ironically to push or prove the point of the track
Truueeee
Personally i feel kendrick purposely put Gucci on this track cause thats what he represents. idk
I'm getting more ass, Everytime I wear (Gucci)(888
lol fucking hipsters..
1st song I ever heard out of his catalog
this isnt a pissing contest bro but congrats
Found my swagg but lost my roof. He has swagg but doesnt have a house
realest shit i heard since pac forreal, be careful kendrickk you know theyre out there!!!! amazing music tho.
He speak the truth
this page is awesome.... facebook . com / cerberusclothing
Does anyone know the font on the cover? The "Vanity Slave."
I think it would actually be pretty interesting to here a verse from Gucci on this song, lol
Yeah Gucci is a example, but we're all vanityslaves in this society, it's a part of being human in a capitalist system
Roof of his convertible...... Gucci Man isn't a metaphor god lol you guys are giving him way to much credit
it means his mind/head..... youre the stupid one. Kendricks above your 'roof' son
You're fucking stupid, The roof would be a roof of a house. SWAG AINT CHEAP NIGGA.
yeah, his mind, his brain, etc.
