[Verse 1: HOPE]
Iâm a Nestor Aveâ¦
Nightlife liver, still waiting to grow up
25 cents now or later, and a soda
Snotty-nosed kids slap boxing on the corner
âHiâ â yeah, thatâs me right there
Sandy little Jordans and the swoosh in his hair
In the overall shorts â I ainât have a care
Contact, âcause my carâs righ there
I thought I was Pac when âHit âEm Upâ came out
Got in trouble for the music, I was playinâ it loud
Read the credits to all the CDs in the house
With the⦠bottle I was rockinâ the crowd
I was eight when I wrote my first rap line down
Shit, I remember, I was right on the couch
Are you feeling me? Back in third grade I was killing it
If yâall donât get the metaphor, itâs all elementary
Summertime fun, mack daddy at the pool
Wintertime fun, selling candy at the school
Ready for the action, if it happened, I was cool
I ainât see âem, if you do, tell my daddy Iâm a fool, Kendrick
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Kendrick Lamar, plain old Kendrick the Average Joe
But not the average flow, just willing to make it, ock
That boyâs bacon, he got relations with Satan, Pops
This type of greatness is well-awaiting the fatal shots
Now what you know about them Westside streets?
We was five like deep, rapping the best of Mobb Deep
Rapping the best in my sleep, thatâs if I ever slept
Countinâ bars while you countinâ sheep, you lookinâ at the best
God-given â Iâm been spitting since Pokémon cards and yo-yos
Sauconies to bold jeans, when Wayne made âbling-blingâ I was hip-hopping
Makinâ âem hot, have a pogo â letâs get this cream, cold stones
Iâm fallinâ off, hold on â when peeling off, BMX bikes
Ducking shots that was barking real DMX-like
A pizza and a cold Sprite â peace to the world
I close my door and make love to the beat
And fuck your girl⦠that was K.Dot, then
[Verse 3: HOPE]
Top-tier, Iâm here, they call me King Hope
With a mean flow dancing for the team, ock
Street hop from the bottom, we on the streetâs top
Itâs all scenic, believe it, youâll get your bean popped
[Verse 4: Kendrick Lamar]
I give you my album in replacement of Detox
I drop shit with ease to let yâall eavesdrop
On my style, eyes of an owl and stay watching
Throw in that towel or get thrown in a ditch
[Verse 5: HOPE]
Or get thrown on the pit, I was thrown on stages
Tab, Centennial, Westchester lacing
My flow â96, your flow â06
Your flow âeh, coolâ¦â, my flow âoh shit!â
[Verse 6: Kendrick Lamar]
You flow donât exist, we coexist with the UFOs
Goddamnit, stranded on planets that you donât know
The aliens panic, packing bags, they hit the road
The truth, the phone booth, the greatness take its toll
