[00:00.37]I can tell you what it is
[00:01.74]I can tell you what it isn't
[00:03.58]No more K Dot
[00:04.74]My mother had named me Kendrick
[00:06.39]F**k a stage name
[00:07.34]That's the name that I was given
[00:08.81]The only thing that I can identify
[00:10.69]Within this bidness
[00:11.77]I'm just a good kid from Compton
[00:13.57]That want to rap
[00:14.87]Weighing my options
[00:15.72]Pick up a Bible or a strap
[00:17.6]I never killed a man
[00:18.61]Never sold any crack
[00:20.22]All I ever did was
[00:21.14]Try to keep my city on the map
[00:23.06]But this monkey on my back
[00:24.71]Y'all don't want me to win
[00:26.13]I'm tryna follow dreams
[00:27.2]You want me to follow trends
[00:28.75]So just to get a dollar
[00:30.02]Will I sell my soul
[00:31.42]I look the Devil in the eye
[00:32.81]And tell him hell no

[00:35.46]Worth having is worth the wait
[00:37.46]Well I want the world
[00:38.59]Tell me how long that takes
[00:40.27]There's no time like now
[00:42.37]I can cut my patients short
[00:43.77]Or give 'em some more gowns
[00:45.31]I don't even want the crown
[00:46.54]I just want a peace of mind
[00:48.18]And ni**a when I get it
[00:49.31]You won't get a piece of mine
[00:50.86]Won't you mind your own bidness

[00:55.41]A broke ni**a believe anything
[00:56.97]That you tell him
[00:58.1]Well I'm a broke ni**a
[00:59.61]But still I wouldn't listen to you

[01:19.17]Before time flies by
[01:20.78]My new sound for '0-10 is why lie
[01:23.61]And if you ain't trying to win
[01:25.35]Then why try
