Kendrick Lamar - County Building Blues lyrics

[Intro] Greetings boys and girls (Greetings boys and girls) My name is Petey P. (My name is Petey P.) Kendrick's childhood imaginary friend (that's right, that's right, that's right) I am your neighbor (I am your neighbor) And I'd like to welcome you to good kid, m.A.A.d city (good kid, m.A.A.d city) So grab your cartoons and cereal (and sing) Your pop guns (and sing) and fireworks and sing along [Chorus] When we grow up we gon' go and get us a million Spend it all in front of the county building Blow it like Coltrane, blow it like Coltrane yeah (Sing along kids, sing along) When we grow up we gon' go and get us a million Spend it all in front of the county building Blow it like Coltrane, blow it like Coltrane yeah (Kendrick, you remember that one time when we was...) I've been waiting on this day since Dr. Dre and Pac Was on Rosecrans in that burger stand at 95 People staring at 'em in amazement Reservations at the Days Inn we was living out a hotel at the time Breakfast, lunch and dinner chicken from Kentucky Fried Mama babysitting Section 8 vouchers to move With nothing else to lose but a burger flippin' job Close my eyes inside the swap meet and imagine this a mansion Gold ballroom AK-47 dancing Howling at the moon was a pack of hungry babies Hope you feed 'em soon bite your back you die of rabies Everyday we pray to eat at the table of Sizzlers But never made that visit, if better days was on its way Then it made the decision, to make the wrong turn So for now we heat this sk**et so this canned food can burn (Oh yeah I remember that, it was the ravioli with the hot sauce in it, right?) [Chorus] When we grow up we gon' go and get us a million (Am I right?) Spend it all in front of the county building (oh) Blow it like Coltrane, blow it like Coltrane yeah (Don't forget to sing along by the way, sing along) When we grow up we gon' go and get us a million Spend it all in front of the county building Blow it like Coltrane, blow it like Coltrane yeah And all the ghetto children in the world say that's my car All the ghetto boys say that's my car All the ghetto girls say that's my car When we grow up, when we grow up Ghetto children in the world say that's my car All the ghetto boys say that's my car All the ghetto girls say that's my car When we grow up, when we grow up (Nig-n***a you remember the smoke and the burning buildings and sh**?) Couple stolen T.V.'s and a seat belt for my safety (uh huh) Played the pa**enger I think it's five years after eighty- seven do the math ' 92 don't you be lazy (I won't) Looking out the window, notice all the essentials of a block party that stop for a second then it rekindle Like a flame from a trick candle everybody got dental Insurance 'cause we 'bout to floss you get that couch I sent you? I heard that from a block away probably had credentials of a scholar but sh** not today them Dayton spokes was his to take Refrigerators, barbecue pits and Jordan kicks They did invasions while helicopters recorded it Hello Mi-Mister Miyagi I want them ten woo-woofers Say that you got me if not I'll dig in your drawer for it The swap meet was the bull's eye like Tauruses Murder was the melody you should know what the chorus is Papa you really telling me we can just get some more of it if we run out? He said lil n***a today the poor is rich Don't tell your mom that you seen a Molotov bomb If she ask just know you have to lie and son don't forget b**hes ain't sh**, hoes ain't neither n***as gon' snitch watch the company you keeping And one day you'll put money in the ghetto when you got it Rather than having to hustle off these Rodney King riots (That's right the mothaf**in' Rodney King you just put your daddy on Bullis Rd.) [Chorus] When we grow up we gon' go and get us a million (that's crazy) Spend it all in front of the county building Blow it like Coltrane, blow it like Coltrane yeah (Don't forget still sing along kids, still sing along) When we grow up we gon' go and get us a million (Please sing) Spend it all in front of the county building Blow it like Coltrane, blow it like Coltrane yeah
