[03:36.26]Making records they want that was wrecking my brilliance [03:39.25]My mama said boy that don't sound like you [03:41.24]I said this is the sound though my only excuse [03:45.09]Quite frankly dusted off my shoes with my hankie [03:50.58]And kicked it like he skate make these motherf**kers hate me [03:52.93]The reason why they hate cause these motherf**kers ain't me [03:56.06]And you can

Lamar what are you trying to say [05:05.81]What are you trying to accomplish Kendrick Lamar [05:07.40]I think that I finally reached the pinnacle [05:08.77]Of finding myself as an individual [05:09.81]The world is so typical [05:10.60]I just wanna be higher than that [05:11.68]I used to want to be the messiah of rap [05:13.45]Infatuated with becoming a relevant star [05:16.45]Trying to say goodbye to the glamorous chains and cars [05:19.40]That I never had but wrote it in my raps to make you mad [05:22.30]Vanity they say that it can damage me [05:25.94]So do I really want it [05:28.80]If I didn't I guess I'm a cool coc*ine connect [05:31.62]That means I'll be fronting hmm [05:35.24]Cooking in a laboratory hoping I can tell a story [05:38.05]That the whole world can feel like the ones that came before me [05:41.87]Knowing that I'm misunderstood [05:43.37]So I gotta get my point across like a snitch would [05:46.14]And I would never walk in the shadow that never was really there [05:49.60]Or try to fill the shoes of an invisible pair [05:52.62]And Dame said he proud of my newfound honesty [05:56.37]And all I could say is will the radio care [05:59.29]Yeah or should I say no [06:01.60]Or should I just stop and come with a whole new approach [06:04.19]You heard my Hip Hop when I was sixteen years old [06:07.07]Well that was me then now I'm an adult [06:10.97]Twenty-two like the smallest of guns that you know most determined [06:13.75]But with the smallest of funds to show but I'm not worried [06:17.15]My talent should take me places I've never been [06:21.34]The world should turn soon as my record spin [06:23.98]I wanna be the highest on top of all the bullshit [06:26.69]The negative you bring the stress the violence [06:28.58]The capital punishment the loud police sirens [06:32.52]Too focussed one word righteous [06:36.95]And this is Kendrick Lamar [06:38.74]And soon y'all know cloud nine y'all [06:42.47]And that means I wanna be the highest [06:45.30]Too focussed one word (righteous) [06:47.48]Mm yeah [06:54.85]That means I wanna be the highest [06:56.32]Too focussed one word [06:57.46]Too focussed too focussed one word
