[Intro: Martin Luther King Speech]
I am happy to join with you today
And what will go down in history
As the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation
[Verse 1]
So it seems I'm lost
In between exotic cars and fiends
Palms hella itchy, baby mama b**hy
Dish washer broke cuz them pots too sticky
Snap back to the back cause I got that crack
And I'm from that city
Where even the girls is packing they strap Beats on
They don't hear that rap, sh**
Unless it's Y.G or Problem
Then them b**hes turn up ASAP like they went to school in Harlem
But they know they from Compton
Yea they know they from Compton
Where we put ba** with the head before Dre was with Monster
We pulled guns on n***as 'fore we ever play Contra
Turned contra into bands and that make them hoes dance so
Let that b**h breathe before she take yo kids
And you be forced to watch that b**h leave
And that's every n***a's situation
In a town where them gang signs go up
And them b**hes going down
[Hook: Elijah Blake and Game]
Life is a but a dream
I'm searching for a dream
Life is a but a dream
Life is a but a dream
Life is a but a dream
Life is a but a dream
Life is a but a dream
Life is a but a dream
Life is everything but a dream
[Interlude: Martin Luther King]
A great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free
[Verse 2]
n***as robbed 2 Chainz on World Star, I seen these n***as runnin
Them ain't yo n***as no more ‘cause I got mine's comin
You take a n***a j**els and act like you done did something
We take a n***a life and act like we ain't did nothing
And all of this is at the push of a bu*ton
I got n***as bustin' simply because they ribs touchin'
No we ain't tryna work at Mickey D's
n***as is tryin to put that six on Ds
And flip one of them Bentley keys
Hood n***as that only wanna be hood rich
Stack a hundred thousand in the safe and wife a good b**h
Cop a Gucci belt, maybe Louis too
Line a Challenger with that Camaro and see what it do
Hit toxic ‘cause we got a fit and can't wasted it
It's hot as f** but at least we can see these hoes' faces
Ask Drama what that sh** do
Every time he hit the city give him a couple hoes and a pistol
‘Cause I, I hold my n***as down
I said I, I hold my n***as down
Yea I hold my n***as down
And the day I go out this is Kendrick's crown
[Outro]
No, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until “justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
Life is but a dream
Life is but a dream
Life is everything but a dream
