Lyrics

[00:00.81] Is this mic on? (Hey, move this way, this way)
[00:04.02] Hey, Hey! Hey! Turn the mic up, c'mon, c'mon
[00:06.12] Is the mic on or not? I want the mic
[00:08.78] We're bringing up nobody, nobody...
[00:11.83] Nobody but the number one rapper in the world
[00:15.88] He done traveled all over the world
[00:17.76] He came back just to give you some game
[00:20.68] All of the little boys and girls, come up here
[00:23.48] (One two, one two, what's happening, fool?)
[00:25.11] Come right here, this is for you, come on up
[00:26.82] Kendrick Lamar, make some noise, brother
[00:27.71] I done been through a whole lot
[00:29.12] Trial, tribulation, but I know God
[00:30.95] The Devil wanna put me in a bow tie
[00:32.56] Pray that the holy water don't go dry
[00:35.35] As I look around me
[00:36.74] So many motherfuckers wanna down me
[00:38.38] But an enemigo never drown me
[00:39.98] In front of a dirty double-mirror they found me
[00:41.94] And (I love myself)
[00:43.38] When you lookin' at me, tell me what do you see?
[00:46.14] (I love myself)
[00:47.14] Ahh, I put a bullet in the back of the back of the hand of the bully
[00:49.88] (I love myself)
[00:51.18] Illuminated by the hand of God, boy don't seem shy
[00:53.70] (I love myself)
[00:55.28] One day at a time, uhh
[00:57.44] They wanna say it's a war outside, bomb in the street
[01:00.22] Gun in the hood, mob of police
[01:02.40] Rock on the corner with a line for the fiend
[01:04.10] And a bottle full of lean and a model on the scheme uh
[01:07.14] These days of frustration keep y'all on tuck and rotation (Come to the front)
[01:10.64] I duck these cold faces, post up fi-fie-fo-fum basis
[01:14.28] Dreams of reality's peace
[01:16.42] Blow steam in the face of the beast
[01:18.04] Sky could fall down, wind could cry now
[01:19.94] Look at me motherfucker I smile
[01:21.34] And (I love myself)
[01:22.79] When you lookin' at me, tell me what do you see?
[01:25.32] (I love myself)
[01:26.26] Ahh, I put a bullet in the back of the back of the hand of the bully
[01:29.20] (I love myself)
[01:29.21] Illuminated by the hand of God, boy don't seem shy
[01:33.56] (I love myself)
[01:36.24] One day at a time, uhh
[01:37.79] (Crazy)
[01:39.45] (What you gon' do?)
[01:41.16] Lift up your head and keep moving, (Keep moving) turn the mic up
[01:44.34] (Haunt you)
[01:44.98] Peace to fashion police, I wear my heart
[01:47.20] On my sleeve, let the runway start
[01:49.16] You know the miserable do love company
[01:50.99] What do you want from me and my scars?
[01:52.86] Everybody lack confidence, everybody lack confidence
[01:55.56] How many times my potential was anonymous?
[01:57.55] How many times the city making me promises?
[01:59.54] So I promise this, nigga
[02:00.92] And (I love myself)
[02:02.36] When you lookin' at me, tell me what do you see?
[02:04.74] (I love myself)
[02:05.84] Ahh, I put a bullet in the back of the back of the hand of the bully
[02:08.66] (I love myself)
[02:09.97] Illuminated by the hand of God, boy don't seem shy
[02:12.60] (I love myself)
[02:15.94] One day at a time, uhh
[02:16.81] Huh (Walk my bare feet) huh (Walk my bare feet)
[02:20.98] Huh (Down, down valley deep) huh (Down, down valley deep)
[02:24.52] (I love myself) huh (Fi-fie-fo-fum) huh (fi-fie-fo-fum)
[02:28.24] (I love myself) huh (My heart undone) one, two, three
[02:32.53] I went to war last night
[02:36.64] With an automatic weapon, don't nobody call a medic
[02:38.50] I'mma do it till I get it right
[02:40.46] I went to war last night (Night, night, night, night, night)
[02:44.35] I've been dealing with depression ever since an adolescent
[02:46.36] Duckin' every other blessin', I can never see the message
[02:48.30] I could never take the lead, I could never bob and weave
[02:50.21] From a negative and letting them annihilate me
[02:52.28] And it's evident I'm moving at a meteor speed
[02:54.30] Finna run into a building, lay my body...
[03:02.11] Not on my time, Not while I'm up here
[03:03.50] Not on my time, kill the music
[03:05.56] Not on my time
[03:09.39] We could save that shit for the streets
[03:12.32] We could save that shit, this for the kids bro
[03:15.03] 2015, niggas tired of playin' victim dog
[03:20.76] Niggas ain't trying to play vic— TuTu, how many niggas we done lost?
[03:24.61] Yan-Yan, how many we done lost?
[03:26.69] No for real, answer the question, how many niggas we done lost bro?
[03:29.78] This, this year alone
[03:33.24] Exactly. So we ain't got time to waste time my nigga
[03:38.81] Niggas gotta make time bro
[03:42.35] The judge make time, you know that, the judge make time right?
[03:47.60] The judge make time so it ain’t shit
[03:49.21] It shouldn’t be shit for us to come out here and appreciate the little bit of life we got left, dawg
[03:55.17] On the dead homies. Charlie P, you know that bro
[03:58.29] You know that
[04:01.53] It’s mando. Right, it's mando
[04:07.06] And I say this because I love you niggas man
[04:10.77] I love all my niggas bro
[04:13.79] Exac- enough said, enough said
[04:15.78] We gon' get back to the show and move on, because that shit petty my nigga
[04:18.97] Mic check, mic check, mic check, mic check, mic check
[04:22.25] We gon' do some acapella shit before we get back to-
[04:25.83] All my niggas listen
[04:27.71] Listen to this:
[04:28.75] I promised Dave I'd never use the phrase "fuck nigga"
[04:32.13] He said, "Think about what you saying: 'Fuck niggas'
[04:36.17] No better than Samuel on Django
[04:38.99] No better than a white man with slave boats"
[04:41.65] Sound like I needed some soul searching
[04:43.77] My Pops gave me some game in real person
[04:46.86] Retraced my steps on what they never taught me
[04:49.35] Did my homework fast before government caught me
[04:52.27] So I'ma dedicate this one verse to Oprah
[04:55.01] On how the infamous, sensitive N-word control us
[04:57.81] So many artists gave her an explanation to hold us
[05:00.65] Well, this is my explanation straight from Ethiopia
[05:03.79] N-E-G-U-S definition: royalty; King royalty - wait listen
[05:09.13] N-E-G-U-S description: Black emperor, King, ruler, now let me finish
[05:14.29] The history books overlook the word and hide it
[05:16.85] America tried to make it to a house divided
[05:19.55] The homies don't recognize we been using it wrong
[05:22.13] So I'ma break it down and put my game in a song
[05:25.15] N-E-G-U-S, say it with me
[05:27.89] Or say no more. Black stars can come and get me
[05:30.61] Take it from Oprah Winfrey, tell her she right on time
[05:33.09] Kendrick Lamar, by far, realest Negus alive
[05:46.81]
