Verse 1: They worry bout them bitches, I worry bout money Im on my grind, u niggaz cant get nuthin from me Real street shit, my city dont play Full of dat energy and hate, this shit is not my cake So Im fleering and roaring and Im grinnin and growling Standin face 2 face to my misled tomorrow And Im feeling Im hoping that my dream on my road I aint goin back now, its too long I been walkin Gettin high on my own, dawg, Im not in da mood look at da window, see da same irradeemable hood This spirits in me, go hard till the worlds ended Im headed straight to the top, u can call me Kendrick Thats how it is, son, u go hard - u die young, But I say living on da knees is not an option fo me So I keep my head up and keep walkin alone To a better place, I dont stop - better believe
Chorus: O-Oh O-Oh Im headed straight to dem stars, so Ima meet u there O-Oh O-Oh In my hood aint shit change, another fallin tear O-Oh O-Oh And if I fall again I swear Im standin up O-Oh O-Oh Mama please dont cry, Im gonna hit the top
Verse 2: Survive is da lesson, my dream is the reason Her smile is da blessin when its hard to be peaceful When u get kicked on da nape 2 step be fo ur door Get robbed and disrespected straight to the core So I dont sleep now, Im takin lil naps I keep my third eye opened runnin these laps And if I catch u nigga I knock ur tops off I make u choke suckin my dick, bleed and die slow My concepts grow man shit, ur concept is infant I never put the blame on nobody but me and I guarantee u wear my shoes u aint walkin a mile 66 pounds of weightin but dreamin of fly Mama please dont cry, I know im doin wrong But my hearts filled with hate since Im fifteen years old I know Ive chose the wrong path but just to get it right I just chase my dream and whe I get it - u smile
