[Intro: Kendrick Lamar & Angela McCluskey] Sit still, and close your eyes (Smoke to it) What’s behind the other door, oh No more silence (No more silence) Don't kill this thing we got called love Just searching for the perfect shot
[Hook: Angela McCluskey] When love comes callin', don’t love back When love comes callin', don’t look away When love comes callin', don’t look back When love comes callin', don’t look away
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar] I used to write rhymes, all day and all night While you were playing Playstation, my pencil was erasing lines My conscious only knew whats half tight At 3:14, it’s time to give me a slice, my nigga This is a dog's fight, my nigga The soundtrack to life, my nigga Kendrick Lamar, his momma called him that He watched House Party, and ate Apple Jacks Sold Sega games, his cousin sold crack He pumped reeboks, his uncles pumped packs Pump, fake, jumpshot, ball hit the back Ball dreams of being pointguard was off limits jack That's because thats these Compton streets was built not to win You killed the nigga, I stole a bible, is that a sin Part of me though, is searching for answers The good kid from the ugly city That's mad that he's handsome, where is the love?
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar] Give me rings, give me chains mayne Give me a blue benz, red porsche, red range Give me black bitches, white hoes, new clothes A mansion with marble floors, and security codes Then give me some land, or maybe I’ll land a G5, clearport, say hello to the man Give me awards, grammies, and let the crowd applaud My name til’ they strain the veins in they vocal cords Give me fame and fortune, me and Donald Trump on golf courses With that being said, give me Tiger sports endorsements Give me billboards, whatever that people will kill for Manahattan and 40/40, no 40’s but rose poured Give me vanity, give me Kurt Cobain sanity Give me a city where Channel 7 newscasters cameras be Give me horror like Amity, no, give me the charts (Just searching for the perfect, shot) And if you ever renege, I’ll still give you Kendrick Lamar This is me, and thats love
[Hook]
[Outro: Kendrick Lamar] Now everybody smoke to it, for this is, the celebration
