Kendrick Lamar - Street Justice lyrics

They doubted that I'll ever make it this far I'm sh**ting on them now cause I was piss poor Swear you down to k** with that steel But that steel don't make you real If you can't even win a fist war So f** it, I shoot back at you cowards Your d**h the pastor announces Because we acting on violence It's either that or keep silent Always testing n***a back and back on a challenge So what's your choice? It's k** or be k**ed, what? This life for me was given It's pimping or prisons Visits over missions of your digits Getting questioned, for nothing So where you from, you f**er We busting over discussion It's justice to get concussions, huh You asked for it, might as well get cashed for it Price is on your head now it's leaking from the dashboard Cold world, so keep a heater If you never trust in Jesus, let me make you a believer! Meet him Cause you would do the same Take aim at n***as brains And wouldn't care of no one names I shot ak's, handguns and shotguns Justify your pride, I would stand I would not run, I got mine [Chorus] Your heart is cold and there's no one to run to I grab my gun, cause that's how I know to protect you Street justice, street justice, street justice, street justice This is my life, and that's how I'm gonna protect you Street justice This is dedicated, 25 summers I waited Back when papa was sedated, uncles all incarcerated 25 cousins to play with Also 2 grandmas I played with One had died, one moved to Vegas Both had died, I started raging Back when LA get the laces With the blue sprinkles and … Only broke our concentration We was broke but mama saved enough To keep refrigeration stocked With cut noodles and baken … The black car was the first to watch Black boy, first to drop Then my homie, the first to shoot Then his homie, the first to drop So look homie, my best pursuit Is music, this was finalized When I seen the devil eyes in that Buick I was hypnotized War going on outside, nobody safe from Kicking your door to ask you where you get your safe from Kick you some more, you ask me where I get my hate from Compton, baby, Afghanistan, this is phase one Compton, … new talibans, central raise one Rosecrans street tell them coppers get off me, day's done Got darker than Alfred mayweather Never been so cold, 2 sweater and a long nose, they stressing [Chorus] When the world is cold and there's no one to run to I grab my gun, cause that's how I know to protect you Street justice, street justice, street justice, street justice This is my life, and that's how I'm gonna protect you Street justice We all like Gingis khan, everyone think they can just become The punishment of god, but problems never get solved All the way from Compton's corner out to Oakland shake it hard I get a woody wearing hoody, before your eyes just…my marks And bullets hiding lyrics from myself and Ken Lamar In the middle of this war, we made it out to be star Cop cars never came with good cops I gotta keep it cop just for my neighborhood watch Street justice [Chorus] Your heart is cold and there's no one to run to I grab my gun, cause that's how I know to protect you Street justice, street justice, street justice, street justice This is my life, and that's how I'm gonna protect you Street justice
