[Intro: Taz Arnold]
Oh, fan!
Jag behöver det där
Jag behöver det där långsamma
Det där långsamma (Yo, yo, yo)
Som en Chevy i kvicksand
Ja
Det där långsamma
[Vers 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Den här känslan är makalös
Den här känslan får du av adrenalin och bra rap
Svart Pendleton keps (Väst, väst, väst)
Vi delar inte samma synonym, gå tillbaka (Väst, väst, väst)
Varit i det innan internet hade nya akter
Härma radions nemesis gjorde mig dålig
Min oskuld begränsad, erfarenheten saknades
Tio av oss med ingen trevande taktik som sprack
Sinnet av en läskunnig författare, men jag gjorde det, faktum är
Du erkände det när jag lämnade in det, inslagen i plast
Kommer ihåg klottrade, skrapade flitiga meningar baklänges
Besökte freestyle cyphers för din reaktion
Nu, jag kan leva i en arena, packar det snabbast
Satsar Benjamins vinster, synder i trafiken
Snurrar kvinnor i hjulningar, linnetyg på mode
Vinner i varje beslut, Kendrick är mästaren som bemästrade det
Är det inte fantastiskt hur hot blev attraktion?
Svänger rappare, avsluta din bråkdel medan du skriver blå magi
Tacka Gud för rap
Jag skulle säga det fick mig en plakett, men vad är bättre än det?
Faktumet det tog mig hem
[Refräng: Lalah Hathway & Taz Arnold]
Vi har väntat på dig
Väntat på dig
Väntat på dig
Väntat på dig
[Vers 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Jag vet allt
Jag vet allt, känner mig själv
Jag vet moral, andlighet, bra och dålig hälsa
Jag vet döden kan förfölja dig
Jag vet allt
Jag vet om Compton, jag vet gatu skit, jag vet skit som är medveten
Jag vet allt, jag känner advokater, annonser och sponsorer
Jag vet visdom, jag vet dålig religion, jag vet bra karma
Jag vet allt, jag vet historia
Jag vet universumet jobbar mentalt
Jag vet förmånerna av skit som inte är menat för mig
Jag vet allt, jag vet bilar, kläder, tjejer, och pengar
Jag vet lojalitet, jag vet respekt, jag vet de som är knäppa
Jag vet allt, topparna, dalarna, fansen, pundarna
Jag vet om jag har ett generöst hjärta, behöver jag inte erkännande
Sätter jag är belönad-det är Guds val
Jag vet du vet den linjen för Compton skoldistrikt
Bara ge tillbaka till barnen, skvallra inte om hur den delades ut
Jag vet hur människor fungerar
Jag vet livets pris, jag vet hur mycket det är värt
Jag vet vad jag vet, och jag vet det kommer aldrig glömmas
Tills jag inser jag inte vet skit, dagen jag kom hem
[Refräng: Lalah Hathway & Taz Arnold]
Vi har väntat på dig
Väntat på dig
Väntat på dig
Väntat på dig
[Vers 3: Kendrick Lamar]
Jag mötte en liten pojke som liknade mina drag
Stor afro, lucka i hans leende, second hand skor
Studsade genom publiken
Låter inte någon man eller kvinna stå i hans väg
Solen strålar på han, utmattad
Spelar fotboll med hans askiga, svarta fötter
Bryter nya regler mamma har gjort
Han kolla på mig och sa, "Kendrick, du vet mitt språk
Du bara glömde på grund av vad offentliga skolor målade
Oh, jag glömde "Don't Kill My Vibe", juste, du är känd
Jag bruka kolla på Kanal 5, TV var tagen
Men strunt samma, du är här nu, missta inte det
Det är bara en ny resa, ta en titt på dina förfäder
Gör en nya lista på allt du trodde var framsteg
Och det var skitsnack, jag vet ditt liv är fullt med kaos
Bortskämd med fantasier om vem du är, jag mår dåligt för dig
Jag kan försöka upplysa dig utan att skrämma dig
Om du motstår, kommer jag backa snabbt, ta ett flyg eller två
Men om du väljer ödet över vila i fred
Var då en förespråkare, säg till dina vänner, framförallt
Att komma hem igen"
[Del II]
[Mellanspel]
Det här är en världspremiär
Det här är en världspremiär
Det här är en världspremiär
[Refräng: Kendrick Lamar]
Jag har letat efter dig hela mitt liv, en aptit
Efter känslan jag knappt kan beskriva, var bor du?
Är det i en kvinna, är det i pengar eller mänskligheten?
Säg mig något, får mig tappa kontroll, ah!
[Brygga: Kendrick Lamar]
Du får mig vilja hoppa
Hoppa, hoppa, hoppa, hoppa
Låt oss prata om kärlek
Hoppa, hoppa, hoppa, hoppa
Låt oss prata om kärlek
Hoppa, hoppa, hoppa, hoppa
Låt oss prata om kärlek
Hoppa, hoppa, hoppa, hoppa
Låt oss prata om kärlek
[Refräng: Kendrick Lamar]
Jag har letat efter dig hela mitt liv, en aptit
Efter känslan jag knappt kan beskriva, var bor du?
Är det i en kvinna, är det i pengar eller mänskligheten?
Säg mig något, får mig tappa kontroll, ah!
[Outro: Kendrick Lamar]
Jag sa, vart är du? Framifrån eller bakifrån
Jag letar efter dig, jag reagerar bara när du reagerar
Ah, jag trodde jag hittade dig, i ghettot
När jag var sjutton med en .38 special
Kanske är du i min sedel, kanske är du inte riktig
Kanske bara de rika får veta hur du mår
Kanske är jag paranoid, ha, kanske behöver jag inte dig
Ljug inte för mig, jag är ändå självmordsbenägen
Jag kan vara din förespråkare
Jag kan predika för dig om du säger mig vad som händer
