Kendrick Lamar - I

Is this mic on
Hey Hey Turn the mic up
I want the mic
We bringing up nobody nobody nobody
But the number one rapper in the world
He done travelled all over the world
He came back just to
give you some game
All the little boys and girls
come up here
This for you come on out
I done been through a whole lot
Trial tribulation but I know God
The Devil wanna put me in a bow tie
Pray that the holy water don't go dry
As I look around me
So many motherfuckers wanna down me
But an enemigo never drown me
In front of a dirty double mirror
they found me
And I love myself
When you lookin' at me
ahh tell me what do you see
I love myself
I put a bullet in the back
of the back of the head of the bully
I love myself
Illuminated by the hand of God
boy don't seem shy
I love my self
One day at a time uhh
They wanna say it's a war outside
and a bomb in the street
And a gun in the hood
and a mob of police
And a rock on the corner
with a line for the fiend
And a bottle full of lean
and a model on the scene yup
These days of frustration
keep y'all on tuck and rotation
I duck these cold faces
post up fi fie fo fum basis
Dreams of reality's peace
Blow steam in the face of the beast
The sky could fall down
the wind could cry now
Look at me motherfucker I smile on ma
I love myself
When you lookin' at me
ahh tell me what do you see
I love myself
I put a bullet in the back
of the back of the head of the bully
I love myself
Illuminated
I love my self
Crazy
What you gon' do
Lift up your head
and keep moving
Keep moving
Turn the mic up
Haunt you
Peace to fashion police
I wear my heart
On my sleeve
let the runway start
You know the miserable
do love company
What do you want from
me and my scars
Everybody lack confidence
everybody lack confidence
How many times my potential
was anonymous
How many times the city
making me promises
So I promise this nigga
I love myself
When you lookin' at me
ahh tell me what do you see
I love myself
I put a bullet in the back
of the back of the head of the bully
I love myself
Illuminated by the hand of God
boy don't seem shy
I love my self
Walk my bare feet
Walk my bare feet
Down down valley deep
Down down valley deep
I love myself
Fi fie fo fum Fi fie fo fum
I love myself
My heart undone
1 2 3
I went to war last night
With an automatic weapon
don't nobody call a medic
I'ma do it till I get it right
I went to war last night
I've been dealing with depression
ever since an adolescent
Duckin' every other blessin'
I can never see the message
I could never take the lead
I could never bob and weave
From a negative and
letting them annihilate me
And it's evident I'm
moving at a meteor speed
Finna run into a building
lay my body
Not on my time
Not while I'm up here
Not on my time kill the music
Not on my time
We could save that shit for the streets
We could save that shit
this for the kids bro
2015 niggas tired of
playin' victim dawg
Niggas ain't trying to play vic
Tutu how many
niggas we done lost
Yeah yeah how many we lost
No forreal answer the question
how many niggas we done lost bro
This this year alone
Exactly So we we ain't got time
to waste time my nigga
Niggas gotta make time bro
The judge make time
you know that
the judge make time right
The judge make time so it ain't shit
It shouldn't be shit for us
to come out here and
appreciate the little bit of
life we got left dawg
On the dead homies
Charlie P you know that bro
You know that
It's mando right it's mando
And I say this because
I love you niggas man
I love all my niggas bro
Exac enough said enough said
We gon get back to the show
and move on because
that shit petty my nigga
Mic check mic check mic check
mic check mic check
We gon do some acapella shit
before we get back to
All my niggas listen
Listen to this
I promised Dave I'd never use
the phrase fuck nigga
He said think about what you saying
Fuck niggas
No better than Samuel on D'Jango
No better than a white man
with slave boats
Sound like I needed
some soul searching
My pops gave me some
game in real person
Retrace my steps on
what they never taught me
Did my home work fast
before government caught me
So I'ma dedicate this
one verse to Oprah
On how the infamous
sensitive N word control us
So many artist gave her
an explanation to hold us
Well this is my explanation
straight from Ethiopia
N E G U S definition
royality King royalty wait listen
N E G U S description
Black emperor King ruler
now let me finish
The history books overlooked
the word and hide it
America tried to make it
to a house divided
The homies don't recognize
we be using it wrong
So I'ma break it down
and put my game in the song
N E G U S say it with me
Or say no more
Black stars can come and get me
Take it from Oprah Winfrey
Tell her she right on time
Kendrick Lamar by far
realest Negus alive
