Schoolboy Q - Shadow Of d**h lyrics

[Verse 1: Jay Rock] Yeah, Los Angeles, "Welcome to the Terrordome" City of Satan, angels can't even get along No lie, my town covered in darkness Hoping that the sun just shine on us Rolling up the kush, now I'm letting my mind wander Into another place, I ain't tryna go down under Life is like a race and we all tryna finish it sh** never fair, strays hitting the innocent The good die young where I'm from and it's sad to say That somebody gotta die today Tomorrow's never promised, but we living for the moment n***a, time never stops, it just keeps on going Crackers just gave my young n***a four life sentences Twenty-five times four, n***a, do the math And the hood never have witnesses Cause if we did, then them shots gon' blast [Hook: Kendrick Lamar] As I reflect, I start realizing I wanna Make a way one day for me and my momma, family and friends This ain't the way my life bout to end So I'm quick to grab on my pen and Give 'em something my people sure to feel Give 'em something that I know is all the way real [Verse 2: ScHoolboy Q] Just wakin' up, mind playing tricks on me Got the fifth on me, gotta take a risk homie Was a ball player till the coach pissed on me Keep it real, I could take you down the list homie Be a tradition, see these Chucks be a mission Burner be the fuel to the flame, the key to the ignition If you banging, be serious, boys run up in your pad Point-blank, period, moms ain't hearing it n***as said 'cuz lil n***a got blasted Oh well, give a sh**, shouldn't half-a**ed it Only time you with it, when your n***as all tripping Caught your a** slipping, now I'm stepping up my crip and steady dipping Riding through the city in lights, living it trife Wrong intersection, ready to fight Hopping out with my own agenda, who the contender? Better hope this motherf**er jam (BLAHH!) [Hook] [Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar] Uh, as I'm hearing the first and second verse I try to an*lyse the feeling that's felt in the song I want to tell Rock and Q to go to church But that's a hypocrite because I ain't been in so long I stare at the world from a righteous point of view And realize a crisis coming Novocain couldn't numb it, the pain is unbearable times two Let's rally a team, summon, and school the youth How you feel about it? [Verse 4: Ab-Soul] Man, I feel the same way as you It hurts my soul, like a needle piercing Through the bottom of my shoe and if you behind bars Hold your head, pause And if you in close range with a n***a with a gun in his waist I pray the intervention is divine I got a cousin in jail and handful of homies in heaven But earlier than expected, what the hell? [Hook]
