[00:0.37]I can tell you what it is
[00:1.74]I can tell you what it isn't
[00:3.58]No more K Dot
[00:4.74]My mother had named me Kendrick
[00:6.39]F**k a stage name
[00:7.34]That's the name that I was given
[00:8.81]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

[00:55.41]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

[01:39.35]And if you ain't trying to win
[01:42.25]Then why try
