Kendrick Lamar - County Building Blues

Greeting boys and girls
My name is Petey P
Kendrick's childhood
imaginary friend
that's right that's right
that's right
I am your neighbor
And I'd like to welcome you to
good kid mAAd city
So grab your cartoons and cereal
Your pop guns and fireworks
And sing along
When we grow up we gon go
and get us a million
Spend it all in front of the
county building
Blow it like Coltrane
blow it like Coltrane
When we grow up we gon go
and get us a million
Spend it all in front of the
county building
Blow it like Coltrane
blow it like Coltrane
Kendrick you remember that
one time when we was
I've been waiting on this day
since Dr Dre and Pac
Was on Rosecrans in that
burgerstand at '95
People staring at 'em in amazement
Reservations at the Days Inn
We was living out a hotel
at the time
Breakfast lunch and dinner
chicken from Kentucky Fried
Mama babysitting Section 8
vouchers the move
When nothing else to lose
but a burger flipping job
Close my eyes inside the swap
meet and imagine it's a mansion
Gold ballroom AK 47 dancing
Howling at the moon
what's a pack of hungry babies
Hope you feed us soon
bite your back you die of rabies
Everyday we pray to eat
at the table at Sizzlers
But never make the visit
if better days was on its way
Then they make the decision
to make the wrong turn
So for now we heat this skillet
so this canned food can burn
Oh yeah I remember that
it was the ravioli with
the hot sauce in it right
When we grow up we gon go
and get us a million
Spend it all in front of the
county building
Blow it like Coltrane
blow it like Coltrane
When we grow up we gon go
and get us a million
Spend it all in front of the
county building
Blow it like Coltrane
blow it like Coltrane
And all the ghetto children in
the world say
that's my car
All the ghetto boys say
that's my car
All the ghetto girls say
that's my car
When we grow up when we grow up
Ghetto children in the world
say that's my car
All the ghetto boys say
that's my car
All the ghetto girls say
that's my car
When we grow up when we grow up
Nigga you remember the smoke
and the burning buildings and shit
Couple stolen TV's and a seat
belt for my safety
Played the passenger I think
it's five years after eighty
Seven do the math
'92 don't you be lazy
Looking out the window
notice all the essentials
Of a block party that stop
for a second then it rekindle
Like a flame from a trick
candle everybody got dental
Insurance 'cause we 'bout to
floss you get that couch I sent you
I heard that from a block away
probably had credentials
Of a scholar but shit not today
them Dayton Spokes was his to take
Refrigerators barbecue pits
and Jordan kicks
They did invasions while
helicopters recorded it
Hello Mi Mister Miyagi
I want them Kenwood woofers
Say that you got me if not
I'll dig in your drawer for it
The swap meet was the bulls' eye
like Tauruses
Murder was the melody you should
know what the chorus is
Papa you really telling me we
can just get some more of it
If we run out
He said
lil nigga today the poor is rich
Don't tell your mom that
you seen a Molotov bomb
If she ask just know you have to
lie and son don't forget
Bitches ain't shit
hoes ain't neither
Niggas gon snitch
watch the company you keeping
And one day you'll put money
in the ghetto when you got it
Rather than having to hustle off
these Rodney King riots
That's right the mothafuckin'
Rodney King
You was with your daddy on
Bullis Road
When we grow up we gon go
and get us a million
Spend it all in front of the
county building
Blow it like Coltrane
blow it like Coltrane
When we grow up we gon go
and get us a million
Spend it all in front of the
county building
Blow it like Coltrane
blow it like Coltrane
