[Intro: News Anchor, Kendrick Lamar]
(Prince Angelus)
Just one month into 2021 and the number of shootings and murders in the city of [?] far outpaced the violence during this time last year
Gang...
Now this'll be that real sh*t
Now this'll be that...
The dollar, dollar bill sh*t
[Verse 1: Prince Angelus]
I was thinking one step ahead, stay on my day-to-days
Been an alpha but I respect the role that the beta plays
You see 'em now, quickly they disappear
Bunch of David Blanes that never banged
I be in all them places you never came
I'm talking 'bout that section 8 housing where everyday is gang
When n*ggas ride around, they on edge
'Cause they ain't made for days
Tryna catch an opp on the bus stop, make it bang
Another corner with candles to burn, this are our day-to-days
I'm talking 'bout that ghetto life
Where sh*t ain't ever settled right
Thats why I copped the coup, with the hemi plus the metal pipes
Honey on the dash, switching lanes, 'cause I ain't leveled right
My n*gga said we scored on that play, sh*t got me hella hyped
You can see the beam on the dash, that b*tch be hella bright
'Cause I remember when I didn't have, sh*t, that was every night
[Intermission: Prince Angelus]
Right now, for the next forty-eight hours, I don't give a f*ck
I'm sorry that I don't give a f*ck
On the field of battle I don't give a f*ck
'Til I get my sh*t straight, I don't give a f*ck..
And I'ma do it by any means to make sure that this world
This Earth and my reality and life is flowing the way that I want it to flow
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
And this'll be that real sh*t
That "something you can feel" sh*t
That wave your hand, that Method Man
That dollar, dollar bill sh*t
Just call it Bernie Mac
Or call it gasoline 'cause I just struck a match
Put me in the studio, I'm going back in
Until that very day I tell valet
"Go on back in"
That new Bugatti with the black tint
High speed like I'm methamphetamine and sh*t
I'm seeing sh*t in a different light
My name hold weight, you n*ggas holding cellulite
Pick a bar then tell me what cell you like, uh
Jealous lil' n*ggas on one
Been locking in with the pen since '01
Looking at a high rise, knowing I'ma own one
Soon as the song done, knock her ass down
Then I make King Kong run
Killing all challengers, my calendar is counting up the casualties
I'm accounting for, n*gga
