[Lyrics] Kendrick Lamar – The Heart Pt. 2 (Ft. Dash Snow) Lyrics

Lyrics
Thank you
Sitting in the studio thinking about which mood would go
Right now, freestyle or write down, whatever
It still’ll come up clever
I just need to free my thoughts, and Lord knows that I know better
But I ain’t perfect, I ain’t seen too many churches
Or know them testament verses
You should either hear me now or go deaf
Or end up dead, die trying and know death
Might end up dead, swallow blood, swallow my breath
Fuck a funeral, just make sure you pay my music respect nigga
I mean that from the bottom of my heart
You see my art, is all I have
And victory tastes sweet, even when the enemy can throw salt
Still knock them out the park like a fucking tow car
Let bygones be bygones, but where I’m from
We buy guns and more guns, to give to the young
I’m living the life of a nigga trapped nigga
Inside the system all you envision is trap niggas
My uncle doing life inside prison he wasn’t wrapped too tight
He told me rap about life, not rap niggas
That’s why I’m shaking my head when you rap dissin’
My stomach start turning, my nerves get to twitching
I start evaluating, then my final intuition
Is that you wishing a come up, would just come up
We used to beefing over turf, fuck beefing over a verse
Niggas dying, motherfuck a double entendre
And this is Comp-ton, lions in the land of the triumph
Wrap saran our defiance, ban our alliance
Put burners in the hands, of the black man
One hood with 20 four-four’s like a cloned Kobe Bryant
You probably heard I wanna be heard and wonder who I am
You probably even listen to Faith, and think I know Zion
But really I’m just caught in the loop, of understanding the truth
Because it seem like it’s always clashing with science
I got a big fear of flying
My future so bright I’d probably go blind before I blink twice, I ain’t lying
I swear to God half of ya’ll just don’t know Kendrick
The school of hardknocks, we was the first ones in attendance
You walking down the block, he got shot, you are no eye witness
You just mind your business
You just turn your head, kneel down and then tie your tennis
It’s kind of scary ain’t it?
You can’t act like no bitch, that only got Tyler Perry famous
Just let me explain this, why you pick up that stainless
Cuz your pops wasn’t anxious
To see you and you hate it
So much you probably had your burner tucked at graduation
So if you see him on ’em bleachers then you kill him
Facing 25 to life with a murder charge
Your enemies was the prey and now you pray to God
I pray these bars get farther than Compton
And if our record never break, I still won’t break my promise
I promise to keep it honest
Secret society all we ask is trust
And all we lack is communication like service sucks
The people scared of annihilation when Kingdom Come
And I’m like
The Kendrick Lamar OD in less than a month, alright?
Gotta keep it pushing
Can’t let the government tell me how my future looking
I’m on Rosecrans and Central trying to duck the central bookins’
If the fucking pigs get behind me then you know I’m bookin’
Never will I surrender
I been a warrior when I came out my mom’s placenta
In the gutter lane like I’m Master Splinter
How splendid, I guess my project had did it
Got all these niggas approaching they mixtapes different
They said seven tracks, I said fifteen
Called it an EP, they said I’m trippin’
But little did they know, I’m tryna’ change the rules
That we’ve been confined to, so the corporate won’t make decisions
Uppity bitches, handling business
Killing our dreams, stealing our vision
Out in Haiti, adolescents barely have a home
In L.A everybody think they fucking on
Hop on twitter, perpetrate we doing big shit
Who we hanging with and bragging about the iPhone
I swear to God most of y’all cats just don’t know Kendrick
You barely know yourself, so I guess most of y’all should be offended
Ain’t doing this for my health I’m tryna’ purchase my momma dem’ Benzes
Occupying my time with riches, justifying my time ambitions
Just to coincide, just to go inside, plus we idolize why we living
Look the mastermind, took the master’s mind
Just the perfect time, just to master mine
Just to match the grind with precision
Look the mastermind, took
Cause of you we are Overly Dedicated
