Today [V2] lyrics
by Kendrick Lamar
[Intro: Alori Joh]
Today, today, today, today, today
Today, today, today, today
I feel like
I feel like
I feel like
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Twisting up a cold heat with courtesy of the homie Whoo Kid
Chronic features Hennessy bout’ the 2 litter, f*ck a fifth
Today I’m feeling like a negative worry don’t exist
I need some alone time, cut off my phone get in a zone within my own mind
I’m gone be back in a minute, cruise till’ I hit the beach of Venice
Parlay play the stripe like an arcade, while bumpin’ some Sade
Sweetest taboo my brain is a castle, built from the hands of God
Oh God, I’m a free soul staring in belly of an ego
Thats not a metaphor, that’s just me hoe
Say I’m a activist rapper, I’m just a regular n*gga
Jigga and Pac playin’ John Madden
Now picture that while I finish rolling this bubble kush
Reading scripture’s from the good book, that’s not considered a sin is it?
[Chorus: JaVonté]
As I move, I feel way better doing me
I can only do me
I hope that, you do you
I think to myself truthfully, I can only feel me
Some people say that I'm rude
But I don't give a damn
If she, if he, if them or they say I'm uncool
Nothing will change now I feel me today
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
What I compose be so potent
That if the Earth dried I could spit back the ocean
Then hop on the jet ski and start Westcoastin'
I'm not boasting or bragging
Not a person, I'm a dragon
Taking action in the heat of the night
So if the devil came, tell him that I'll be alright
I'm so high off life that I can OD
Walk outside then sniff a whole key
Oh lady don't call the police
It's just little Kendrick walking with his heart on his appendix
Don't be afraid to speak
So to speak, you n*ggas not within arm-reach
Y'all midget macks swingin' on Shaq now have a seat
You can never co-exist with my mommas oldest
Recognize my name I got my mind right
My n*gga locked in the pen that's why my mind write
Ink over my brain, What's up?
[Chorus: JaVonté]
As I move, I feel way better doing me
I can only do me
I hope that, you do you
I think to myself truthfully, I can only feel me
Some people say that I'm rude
But I don't give a damn
If she, if he, if them or they say I'm uncool
Nothing will change now I feel me today
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
So let me start off the third verse
Biggin' up your favorite since I cursed
f*ck the system, f*ck the truth, f*ck religion
f*ck the government, f*ck the law, f*ck the prisons
f*ck George Bush, f*ck rappers who love dissing
f*ck you because you don't see my vision
I f*cked your new girlfriend too because she's cute
And the ass look like a grenade within the denim
f*ck the groupies, f*ck the gossipin' b*tches
f*ck n*ggas who can't fight so pull triggers
f*ck the new world gas price that costs a living
f*ck your love, f*ck your hate, f*ck your snitching
And whether you f*ck with me or not
I don't give a f*ck you could keep your props
f*ck keeping it real, I'mma keep it K-Dot
This is me everyday, JAY-Z didn't lie
f*cka!
[Chorus: JaVonté]
As I move, I feel way better doing me
I can only do me
I hope that, you do you
I think to myself truthfully, I can only feel me
Some people say that I'm rude
But I don't give a damn
If she, if he, if them or they say I'm uncool
Nothing will change now I feel me today
[Outro: Alori Joh]
Today, today, today, today, today
Today, today, today, today, today
