Kendrick Lamar - I (Alternate Version) lyrics

[Intro] We're livin' in a gold bar (Runnin' to the right law) Duckin' in the trap (Duckin' in the trap) Livin' in a group (Livin' in a group) Watchin' TV (Watchin' TV) Dedicated to the homies in the pen, hit me [Verse 1] (Hey, hey, hey) Uh, this is a word premiere, this is a world premiere (Hey, hey) Uh, I done been through a whole lot Trial, tribulation, but I know God The Devil want to put me in a bow-tie Pray that the holy water don't go dry, yeah, yeah As I look around me So many motherf**er want to down me But an amigo never drowned me In front of a dirty double-mirror they found me [Hook] And I love myself Ho, when you're lookin' at me, uh, I tell me, "What do you see?" I love myself Ah, I put a bullet in the back of the back of the head of the police I love myself Uh, illuminated by the hand of God, boy, it ain't that high I love myself Uh, one day at a time sun gon' shine [Verse 2] Everybody lookin' at you crazy (Crazy) What you gon' do? (What you gon' do?) Lift up your head and keep movin'? (Keep movin'?) Or let the paranoia haunt you (Haunt you) Peace to fashion police, I wear my heart On my sleeve, let the runway start You know the miserable do love company What do you want from me and my scars? Everybody lack confident Everybody lack confident How many time my potential was anonymous? How many time the city makin' me promises? So I promise this, huh [Hook] I love myself When you're lookin' at me, I tell me, "What do you see?" I love myself Ah, I put a bullet in the back of the back of the head of the police I love myself Uh, illuminated hands of God, boy, don't seem shy I love myself One day at a time sun gon' shine [Verse 3] Want to say it's a war outside, bomb in the street Gun in the hood, mob of police Rock on the corner with a line for the fiend And a bottle full of lean and a model on a scheme (These days of frustration keep y'all on tuck and rotation) Aw, man, I duck these cold faces, post a fee-fi-fo-fum basis Uh, dreams of reality's peace Blow steam in the face of the beast Sky can fall down, the wind can cry now Strong in me, I still smile [Hook] I love myself Uh, when you're lookin' at me, uh, I tell me, "What do you see?" I love myself Ah, I put a bullet in the back of the back of the head of the police I love myself Uh, illuminated by the hand of God, boy, don't be shy I love myself One day at a time sun gon' shine Everybody, hit me [Bridge] Walk my bare feet (Walk my bare feet) Down, down valley deep (Down, down valley deep) Fee-fi-fo-fum (Fee-fi-fo-fum) My heart undone (My heart undone) [Interlude] Aw, man, ay, check this out It's a real Compton thing goin' on right now You feel what I'm talkin' 'bout? You dig that? Sometime I just feel a little bit b-beside myself You know what I'm talkin' 'bout? This here's the return of Enoch And we gon' do it to y'all like this Here we go, one, two, three, hit me [Hook] I love myself The world is a ghetto with big guns and Dickies signs I love myself But it can do what it want whenever it want and I don't mind I love myself He said I got to get up, life is more than suicide I love myself One day at a time, the sun gon' shine [Verse 4] I went to war last night with an automatic weapon Don't nobody call a medic I'm a do it 'til I get it right, war last night I've been dealin' with depression Duckin' every other blessin', I can never see the message I could, I could never take the lead, never bob and weave Negative is lettin' them annihilate me Evident I'm movin' at a meteor speed Finna run into a buildin' there Money in the ceilin', lay my body in the street Pa** me to the buildin' of the holy unseen Pa** me to the feelin' of the holy unseen Seen enough, make a everybody scream, "I love myself" [Bridge] I lost my head I must've misread what the good book said Oh, woes be me, it's a jungle inside Give myself again 'til the well runs dry [Interlude] YG, chicken wings, I love myself I love myself, I love myself Aw, man, ay, ay, homie I told you it's straight up a Compton thing You dig what I'm talkin' about? And this here's dedicated to the homies Y'all feel what I'm sayin'? Sometimes I just get besides myself The return of the Enoch is back You hear what I'm talkin' 'bout? [Verse 5] Uh, I've been lookin' for you my whole life Appetite for the feelin' I can barely describe Where you reside? In a woman, is it in money or mankind? Something's got me losin' my mind Where you at? From the front to the back I'm lookin' for you, I react only when you react I thought I found you back in the ghetto When I was seventeen with the dirtiest pistol Maybe you're in a dollar bill, maybe you're not real Maybe only the wealthy get to know how you feel Maybe I'm paranoid, ha, maybe I don't need you anyway Don't lie to me, I'm suicidal any day I could be your advocate I could speak for you if you tell me what the matter is I could preach for you with the mighty tongue I'm the one, how can I overcome Negative energy, more like infinity, and survive?
