[00:00.580] |
We on? |
[00:01.890] |
Aight |
[00:02.640] |
|
[00:03.580] |
1, 2, 3, go! |
[00:05.360] |
|
[00:06.860] |
Waking up in a dream |
[00:07.860] |
Sleepwalking on another big stage |
[00:10.300] |
You never heard peace |
[00:11.420] |
'til you hear people scream |
[00:12.550] |
Your name and your song, |
[00:13.680] |
I'm so far away |
[00:14.610] |
From the place I used to be, |
[00:16.000] |
struggling usually |
[00:16.320] |
Look at the newer me, |
[00:17.750] |
fate pursuing me |
[00:19.030] |
I can feel the energy in the air |
[00:21.220] |
It feel like |
[00:22.160] |
I'm supposed to be here |
[00:23.560] |
Everywhere I go |
[00:24.630] |
I'm getting so much love |
[00:25.750] |
Fans, the stars, everyone |
[00:26.940] |
Sayin how they |
[00:28.880] |
can't wait for the LP |
[00:30.070] |
And I'm gonna blow |
[00:31.380] |
They believe in me |
[00:32.690] |
Feel so good in what you do |
[00:34.610] |
Helps somebody else get through |
[00:37.110] |
That's why I do the best I can |
[00:39.360] |
Because I know how blessed I am |
[00:41.740] |
I'm so high |
[00:43.170] |
I can touch the sky |
[00:44.820] |
|
[00:45.440] |
I know it's my time |
[00:47.630] |
And it's now or never |
[00:49.810] |
|
[00:50.320] |
Shine so bright, |
[00:52.060] |
I light the night |
[00:54.410] |
And it feels so right, |
[00:56.530] |
ain't nothing better |
[00:58.970] |
|
[00:59.910] |
A fool if |
[01:00.600] |
I take it all for granted |
[01:02.030] |
A smart man |
[01:02.660] |
if I keep my feet planted |
[01:04.000] |
To the earth cause the people |
[01:05.320] |
that hurt can understand it |
[01:06.190] |
You speakin' outlandish |
[01:06.630] |
I'm a show you |
[01:07.690] |
how to make it all work |
[01:08.820] |
Another plan, |
[01:09.130] |
it a short term goal for me |
[01:10.880] |
A record sold for me |
[01:12.000] |
It's just more of me in your ear |
[01:13.750] |
For you to hear Kendrick persevere |
[01:15.410] |
Defenses I feel relentless |
[01:17.540] |
Ambition with a clear vision |
[01:19.350] |
Takin' off I ain't |
[01:20.470] |
takin off these Pistons |
[01:21.350] |
I'm takin' off on |
[01:22.540] |
the inner me |
[01:23.410] |
you're distance |
[01:23.880] |
Came across me, |
[01:24.820] |
how much it'a cost me |
[01:26.000] |
To get you out my business |
[01:27.250] |
I set a plan, |
[01:28.310] |
it's a short term goal, |
[01:29.500] |
no sky is the limit |
[01:30.500] |
I'm past that, now pass that |
[01:31.790] |
Award, not one but four |
[01:33.600] |
Times two plus yours |
[01:35.220] |
I see myself performing there, K.dot |
[01:37.790] |
Sold out shows |
[01:38.470] |
where the room is packed |
[01:39.530] |
Sitting at the Grammy's |
[01:40.720] |
winning five awards |
[01:41.660] |
See myself on big billboards |
[01:44.070] |
Traveling around the world |
[01:45.380] |
with endorsement deals |
[01:46.250] |
Can't imagine how it feels |
[01:48.330] |
That's why I'm smiling everyday |
[01:50.830] |
Because my dream ain't far away |
[01:52.710] |
|
[01:53.390] |
I'm so high |
[01:54.790] |
I can touch the sky |
[01:56.970] |
I know it's my time |
[01:59.160] |
And it's now or never |
[02:01.850] |
Shine so bright, |
[02:03.660] |
I light the night |
[02:05.820] |
And it feels so right, |
[02:08.080] |
ain't nothing better |
[02:10.270] |
|
[02:11.150] |
You looking at me |
[02:12.080] |
and you tell me I'm blessed |
[02:13.150] |
Calculated my steps, |
[02:13.830] |
my heart, my breath |
[02:15.160] |
Breathe hums? |
[02:15.850] |
of a victory and vividly |
[02:16.850] |
You see me when at my best, |
[02:18.350] |
my worst |
[02:18.910] |
This verse dedicated |
[02:19.730] |
to the days that I slept |
[02:21.290] |
With a curse research |
[02:22.220] |
my paid dues I'm reimbursed |
[02:23.350] |
I burst in the crowd |
[02:24.760] |
with a voice and crown |
[02:26.220] |
I'm a King on the prowl |
[02:27.660] |
and I see mama smile? |
[02:28.730] |
And I vow on the tape |
[02:29.990] |
that I'll never break |
[02:30.740] |
You can break bread with me now |
[02:32.110] |
We can all take a bow |
[02:33.240] |
on the edge of the pedestal |
[02:34.210] |
Then scream out loud |
[02:35.520] |
that we made it off the avenue |
[02:36.900] |
And walked that mile |
[02:37.710] |
In the darkness |
[02:38.270] |
I often sit back |
[02:39.210] |
And get lost |
[02:39.900] |
in the rap that I wrote |
[02:41.090] |
When you told me |
[02:41.830] |
that it spoke to your soul |
[02:42.770] |
I was talking to you |
[02:43.590] |
I was walking it |
[02:44.180] |
through every ghetto |
[02:45.180] |
Tell success hello |
[02:46.620] |
We here |
[02:47.620] |
And I'm so happy I cry |
[02:49.800] |
Cause I can't believe |
[02:51.740] |
All the things I ever wanted |
[02:54.050] |
Are finally happening for me |
[02:56.930] |
And it's so surreal |
[02:58.490] |
That I almost feel |
[03:00.550] |
That any minute I can wake up |
[03:03.090] |
From this fantasy |
[03:04.270] |
When you pray so hard |
[03:07.020] |
|
[03:07.520] |
And you've come so far |
[03:09.550] |
And you know that |
[03:10.930] |
it's the time |
[03:11.870] |
for you lift your bar |
[03:13.800] |
|
[03:14.490] |
And I'm gonna do it |
[03:17.120] |
|
[03:17.800] |
Watch me! |
[03:18.430] |
I'm so high |
[03:19.800] |
I can touch the sky |
[03:21.990] |
I know it's my time |
[03:24.440] |
And it's now or never |
[03:26.380] |
|
[03:26.940] |
Shine so bright, |
[03:28.880] |
I light the night |
[03:31.070] |
And it feels so right, |
[03:32.760] |
|
[03:33.320] |
ain't nothing better |
[03:35.410] |
|
[03:36.160] |
I'm so high |
[03:37.910] |
I can touch the sky |
[03:39.910] |
I know it's my time |
[03:42.350] |
And it's now or never |
[03:44.880] |
Shine so bright, |
[03:46.750] |
I light the night |
[03:48.940] |
And it feels so right, |
[03:51.200] |
ain't nothing better |
