[Verse 1]
I remember back in the day when they put rap in a grave
I was stressing the question was if it would ever be saved
Was a lame couldn't relate to n***as riches and fame
Or n***as b**hes and chains was off the sh**s when you came
But let me paint the picture 17 and feeling stuck
My brother scooped me up of course this n***as twisting a blunt
Now contemplating the stars as we're baking the car
He turned around and asked you ever heard of Kendrick Lamar
We start bumping Hiii Power as I listen in awe
The bars were raw I could tell that you'd be saving the world
October 22nd Good Kid is changing the world
And changing me from start to finish I listen and start spitting
My n***as thought you was popping but know I could tell the difference
an*lyzed every line you inspired divine rhymes
I could turn on any song and its describing my times
The peer pressure was k**er my n***a it had me f**ed up
And then my cities Sherane came and yo she got me cuffed up
The world turns the world learns and sh** changes
You asked to be sung about so I'm here singing your praises
I ain't aimless I know just what I could be
Only missing a platform yo I need to be TDE
Sign Me Kendrick
[Bridge]
Mike Black the most dangerous n***a alive
Gandhi with a colt 45 (repeat)
[Chorus]
What I find is rhyming won't get me shining
It's just penmanship met with proper timing
Once the moon and the stars are in alignment
That's when I'll blow my countdown is your a**ignment
[Verse 2]
I always said if rap had the power to corrupt a nation
Then rap has the same power to become an inspiration
Ain't all brainless some n***as just stain souls
The difference between the pretenders and the Jermaine Coles
That's helping the game grow, taking the minds higher
I'm ignored in this game cause its dangerous to play with fire
I hope that my flows inspire cause otherwise I'ma wrap it up
Lie about some crack in my trap and how I'ma bag it up
How could I pa** it up when the money ain't coming fast enough
Put Fetty on the hook and get b**hes to put they a**es up
They'll probably gas me up but my mind don't be resting
A n***a pulling the trigger could never become a legend
Ain't concerned with getting dental I'm writing to instrumentals
So I can live forever forever be influential
With rhymes piercing the mental I hope that you get to play this
Know that you'll contemplate it how could you not see the greatness
It's real n***a you saved me when you dropped Section80
So it only seems right that you become the one who pays me
Sign Me Kendrick
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
