Kendrick Lamar - The Relevant lyrics

[Intro] Reporting live, Compton California The good kid [Verse 1] I'm tired of doing it the same way Gotta Flip it before I ruin it Make it all make sense Before you put your 2 in it Opinions get thrown out the window With Ron Browz so turn me up loud So the world can hear And when your favorite rapper Be rapping you should cover your ears And go deaf, go deaf I said Go d**h and stay dead A shot to the forehead'll k** em But I ain't here for no ignorance I'm militant, as Martin Luther King In the penitent, aiming for my dreams Till a bullet bounce off One of my deep thoughts And hit a n***a in the spleen I got it in my genes You probably think I'm talking bout a pistol But I'm talking bout the blood of a warrior My n***a what you worry for? I ain't trying to jock your swag I'm trying to better my craft and stay relevant [Hook] Yeah, as time fly's Hope that I'm soaring Far from the boring I'mma Tell you why It's important I'm not the boring, (I'ma) If I think and act like you do The world would die From not seeing something new And if I don't speak on how I feel The world would lose out on What's really real And if should die before I wake I pray my music will take my place The World The Relevant [Verse 2] Id rather you call me that Then a typical artist you call wack On a Youtube blog holding AR's and stacks Of one's but never could be the one To rally communities or Lead a crowd of blacks Pa**ion is to strong Im pissed off So there's a chance you get pissed on R Kelly was in the wrong But that dont make you an exempt That dont make you a no go from hittin the fence You ain't a blood and Damn sure you ain't a crip The crowd yell OH! But I ain't a pimp Im me, Im free as a 5 finger discount See you on the flipside Right after I dismount, if I Ever feel like I ain't pushin myself Ill find a cliff then push myself Off the edge like a barber At the tip of your head Thats how I settle it Life or d**h if I ain't relevant [Hook] [Verse 3] So feel free to not mind me If your used to boosters Drug dealers and shooters its on wax Cause most of yall n***as fabricate facts anyway I could have easily cheat and let the 44 play Like a 2 on 2 orgy But I been there and it bores me Got to the point where it did nothing for me At 40 I want to afford not to record bullsh** In my story, and Im mad young so Id rather do it now Before my careers done, this is pain plus glory Victory is here, if I cried You could see strength and pride in my tears I do it for the kids, I do it for the 23 Hour lockdowns doin time in the pen And my pen is the only thing I got for Hip hop to change the game They'll remember my name as the relevant [Hook]
