[Intro]
K-Dot, svara, nigga
Varje gång jag ringer, går det till röstmedelande
Säg inte de har fått dig att rappa, nigga
Inga strumpor och skinny jeans och skit, ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haha
Ring mig på Shaniquas mobil!
[Refräng: Kendrick Lamar]
Jag har vart bäst sen dag ett, ni niggas skit
Er kille, din ort som du kommer från, skit
Små tjejer du gick i skolan med, skit
Kvinnor och din nya bitch, skit
Vi var i orten, fjorton med två-tvåa
Fjorton år senare, går hårt som vi alltid gjort, på mina döda vänner
På mina döda vänner
[Vers 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Jag bryr mig inte om politik, nigga
Vår lilla vän Stunna Deuce kommer aldrig tillbaka, nigga
Så bäst att du går hårt varje gång du är på en låt, nigga
Fuck vad de pratar om, din skit är vad som är bäst, nigga
Kom in i spelet, du satte dina huggtänder i spelet
Du bar ingen kedja i spelet, din ort, ditt namn i spelet
Du är du dubbelt upp, dags att jäsa brödet och krypa ihop
Håller sig till manuset, nu, här, och pengarna kryper ihop
Skippa, hoppa, drippa, droppa
Flippa, floppa med vita strumporna
Det går, "Sherm stick, bränn denna"
Det är vad produkten luktar när kemikalierna blandas
50-nigga honnör, ut från Compton zoot, med extramaterialen
El Co's, Monte Carlos, Road Kings, och assistenter
Rip Ridaz, P-Funkers, Mexikaner, de gillar dig
Asiater, de gillar dig, ingen kan bråka med dig
[Refräng: Kendrick Lamar]
Jag har vart bäst sen dag ett, ni niggas skit
Er kille, din ort som du kommer från, skit
Små tjejer du gick i skolan med, skit
Kvinnor och din nya bitch, skit
Vi var i orten, fjorton med två-tvåa
Fjorton år senare, går hårt som vi alltid gjort, på mina döda vänner
På mina döda vänner
[Vers 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Hoppa ur Caddyn, fick precis min kuk sög
Små vännerna ringde och sa, "Fienderna är beväpnade"
Oh, yeah? Fittan vill käbbla med mitt kvarter?
Oh, yeah? Säg till de att de kan springa för cardion
Oh, yeah? Allt är allt, det är en skandal
Slow motion för ambulansen, projekten fyllda med kameror
LAPD spelar, klättrar, fotboll nummer förtal
Niggas namn på papper-du tjallade hela sommaren
Gatan sviker mig inte längre
De säger till mig det är ett nytt gäng i stan
Från Compton till Congress
Setet snubblar runt
Det är inget nytt än en influensa av nya Demo-Crips och Re-Blood-icans
Rött mot blått-vilken styr du?
De gav oss vapen och droger, kallar oss banditer
Klara det de lovat att gilla dig
Ingen kondom, de knullar dig, Obama sa, "Vad gör det?"
[Mellanspel: Kendrick Lamar]
Obama sa, "Vad gör det?"
Obama sa, "Vad gör det?"
Obama sa, "Vad gör det?"
[Refräng: Kendrick Lamar]
Jag har vart bäst sen dag ett, ni niggas skit
Er kille, din ort som du kommer från, skit
Små tjejer du gick i skolan med, skit
Kvinnor och din nya bitch, skit
Vi var i orten, fjorton med två-tvåa
Fjorton år senare, går hårt som vi alltid gjort, på mina döda vänner
På mina döda vänner
[Vers 3: Kendrick Lamar]
Alla vill prata om vem som är det här eller vem som gör vad
Vem som är bäst och vem som är sämst, eller vem som är vit eller vem som är svart
Kritiker vill säga att de missa när hip-hop rappade
Motherfucker, om ni gjorde, då Killer Mike skulle vara platina
Era prioriteringar är fucked, lägger energi på fel skit
Hennessy och Crown Vic, min minne borta sen dess
Fråga inte om ingen kamerablockering vid prisutställningar
Nej, fråga inte om min bitch, nej, fråga inte om mina Vogues
Om du inte frågar min om makt, ja, jag har massor av det
Jag är den enda niggan bredvid Snoop som kan trycka på knappen
Hade kusten på standby
"K. Dot, vad händer? Jag hörde de öppnade upp Pandoras Ask"
Jag boxar in de alla, av ett jordskred
Nej, bror, vi för känsliga, det spills ut på gatorna
Jag ringer och får kusten involverade, historian upprepas
Men jag bestämde mig i den där privata hallen när jag satt ner med Jay
Han sa, "Det är roligt hur en vers kan fucka hela spelet"
[Refräng: Kendrick Lamar]
Jag har vart bäst sen dag ett, ni niggas skit
[Dikt: Kendrick Lamar]
Jag minns att du var i konflikt
Missbrukade ditt inflytande, ibland, gjorde jag detsamma
Missbruka min makt, full av förbittring
Harm som förvandlades till en djup depression
Hittade mig själv skrikande på ett hotellrum
Jag ville inte förstöra mig själv
Ondskan av Lucy var runt mig
Så jag sprang efter svar
Tills jag kom hem
Men det stoppade inte överlevandes skulden
Går fram och tillbaka
Försöker övertyga mig själv om de ränder jag förtjänat
Eller kanske hur bäst min fundament var
Men medan mina nära och kära utkämpade ett kontinuerligt krig
Tillbaka i staden
Jag skulle skriva in en ny
