|
One time Reporting live, |
|
Compton, California |
|
Have you ever felt like, like you never get life? |
|
Like you never get right? |
|
Sort of like a black sheep |
|
Back down, backing out your dreams like some bad sleep |
|
Chasing for the win but you never win the track meet |
|
Oh, what a cold world for a broke nigga, it's bitter and life's a bitch, don't hit women so |
|
I bit her |
|
I struck enough pain, let her know |
|
I wasn't playing |
|
I was so (Sincere) like |
|
Nas' first name |
|
And back, they'd tell me, it's very difficult to see twenty-five and if |
|
I survive |
|
I probably wouldn't sell it |
|
My opportunities are low because my brown complexion floats in the ghetto, rather in some heals like |
|
Giuseppe's |
|
They want me unemployed, until |
|
I hit the streets for filling voids of broke |
|
D-boys selling weed |
|
****ing up my prestige, till |
|
I live with the blues |
|
B.B. King or the neighbors of |
|
Snoop [Chorus: Kendrick Lamar (Ash Riser) {uncredited female}] |
|
That's why |
|
I'm in the club like **** it though |
|
They say it's only one life, life, life |
|
And if you say |
|
I can't live comfortable |
|
I'ma tell you that's a lie, lie, lie |
|
So while I hold this bottle of |
|
Ciroc with a hand full of ass |
|
Celebrate the very day that |
|
I get past (Through the barbed wire) { |
|
We are, we are fighters |
|
We are, we are true |
|
Through the, through barbed wires |
|
We will, will break through} |
|
So while I hold this bottle of |
|
Ciroc with a hand full of ass |
|
Celebrate the very day that |
|
I get past (Through the barbed wire) [Kendrick Lamar] |
|
Have you ever felt like, like you never get life? |
|
Like you never did right? |
|
Sort of like a black sheep |
|
Tryna get away from the world stereotype |
|
Barbed wire got a barricade on your destiny |
|
She desperately in need of some inspiration, see what the people saying |
|
She gon' have a baby, then flee from her education |
|
At the age of sixteen, credit card scam schemes |
|
See a scar on her eye, boyfriend brutality |
|
She will never get by, no how, no way |
|
Welfare recipient, property of the state |
|
Housing, Section 8, corner store, prostitute |
|
The owner bout to prosecute, the niggas tell her that she cute |
|
Hoodrat trashy, six baby daddies and this baby daddy is new to the family |
|
Chilling in pajamies, waiting on the first |
|
Fast-forward, spilling drinks on her fur [Chorus: Kendrick Lamar (Ash Riser) {uncredited female}] |
|
That's why she in the club like **** it though |
|
They say it's only one life, life, life |
|
And if you say she can't live comfortable |
|
She gon' tell you that's a lie, lie, lie |
|
So while she up in |
|
V.I.P. pouring |
|
Merlot in her glass |
|
Celebrate the very day that she get past (Through the barbed wire) { |
|
We are, we are fighters |
|
We are, we are true |
|
Through the, through barbed wires |
|
We will, will break through} |
|
So while she up in |
|
V.I.P. pouring |
|
Merlot in her glass |
|
Celebrate the very day that she get past (Through the barbed wire) [Kendrick Lamar] |
|
Have you ever felt like you finally got life? |
|
You finally got right? |
|
No longer a black sheep |
|
Living off your (dreams) like |
|
Christina uh- |
|
Milian in the front seat of a convertible, eloping to get married |
|
What a feeling of overcoming the odds |
|
It's like you just hit the lottery, my |
|
God There must be a |
|
God, cause golly you done made it through the fight while squabbling, |
|
Ali Now your lifestyle's looking up and you escaped the crooked cops and you ain't have to kill a nigga just to make a couple bucks |
|
And she ain't have to go and **** on everybody for a dollar |
|
Making good decisions, got an independent business mind |
|
And both of y'all are steady grinding, doing it the legal way |
|
Just tryna make a decent pay on every second of the day |
|
But they won't give you the credit, disses out they mouth |
|
You must have joined the |
|
Illuminati just to ball out [Chorus: Kendrick Lamar (Ash Riser)] |
|
In the club like **** it though |
|
They say it's only one life, life, life |
|
And if you say they can't live comfortable |
|
They gon' tell you that's a lie, lie, lie |
|
So even if you overcame doubt and your living ain't bad |
|
Know it's some barbed wire that's always in your path (Through the barbed wire) [Kendrick Lamar] |
|
Just laugh, then everybody say [Ash Riser] |
|
Cause I won't get caught again and |
|
I'm here to start the trend |
|
You can't catch me if you try |
|
Disappear into the night, and |
|
I'm gone [Outro] "So you made it past all the barbed wires?" |
|
Just one more left [gun shot] |
