Cartoon & Cereal - Kendrick Lamar
[Intro] I wanna hit line drives... Wanna lose weight and keep eating... For you... Hey, whats up doc? [Bridge] Now I was raised in a sandbox, next to you and her You was holding the handgun, she was giving birth To a baby boy to be just like you, I wonder what's that worth I-I wonder if you ever knew that you was a role model to me first The next day I-I woke up in the morning, seen you on the news Looked in the mirror, then realized I-I-I had something to prove You told me "Don't be like me, just finish watching cartoons" Which is funny now cause all I see is Wile E. Coyotes in the road [Hook: Kendrick Lamar and Gunplay] And I run it, (Blow! Blow! Blow! Blow!), and I run it, (Blow! Blow! Blow! Blow!) And I run it, (Yeah! Blow!), and I run it, (Yeah! Blow!) That's ironic, (Blow! Blow! Blow! Blow!), I run it, (Blow! Blow! Blow! Blow!) That's ironic, (Y-Yeah! Blow!), I run it, (Yeah! Blow! Yeah!) Salt all in my wounds Hear my tears all in my tunes Let my life loose in this booth Just for you, mothafucka, hope y'all amused And I run it, (Blow! Blow! Blow! Blow!), and I run it, (Blow! Blow! Blow! Blow!) And I run it, (Y-Yeah! Blow!), and I run it (Yeah! Blow!) That's ironic [Interlude] Liberation...leader... Popular pie plant pictured here... Wile E. Coyote! Wile E. Coyote! [Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar] This shit make a nigga just wanna write Reminisce when I had the morning appetite Apple Jacks and after that I hit the TV Guide Animaniac the only thing that gave me peace of mind Im a maniac when aiming at the enemy that lied Tell a story that I'll never glory 25 Not to worry, every warrior will come and see euphoria And that's a covenant I put on every tribe Ain't nobody gon' tie your shoe Nobody gon' abide by your rule Nobody holding your gun, how come your tongue say killa then kill my mood Light speed living in the world you know Little old me, feeling like a live wire Bet I put some new tires on a lighting bolt Til' I wreck into a pole, like a right to vote I am from the bottom of the jungle Living in the bottom of the food chain When you get a new chain, nigga take it from you A new name, want stripes, and you and zebra look alike Hope another homicide don't numb you and none do Things we will never learn soon In the era where we wanna earn soon That's a error, you can smell it in the air and everybody really doomed That's why I'm backdooring you motherfuckas All y'all can suck my dick All them days at the county building Now I'm 'bout to make my mama rich Cartoons and (cereal!) I ain't felt this good since Scrooge McDuck, (here we go!) Elementary hood shit [Bridge + Hook] [Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar] This shit make a nigga just wanna shit on everybody Even with a pot to piss in I'mma aim sloppy at a loud mouth, discharge Dismiss any business of yours Discounts never did amount to a check That ya ass couldn't cash when the shit bounce Everything dismounts, niggas gon' flip that car AKs for the whole hood House lick went down perfect Two shots to the head he deserved it Overheard it hit my bed with a bowl and remote control Dark Wing Duck lost service Mama said I'd better duck, she's nervous Drama all up in the cut, hit the curtains I mean don't intervene with no gun machine This block stay jerking, the feds stay lurkin' Emerging on everbody corner (dash for it) Get a toe tag when you play tag with a task of a new (task force) Everybody wanna know my life How did I make it (passed yours) Well let me tell you like this I've been running this shit since (I asked for it) Cartoons and cereal [Bridge] [Verse 3: Gunplay] Salt all in my wounds Hear my tears all in my tunes Let my life loose in this booth just for you Mufucka hope y'all amused! I did wrong, karma came Crackers gave me ball and chain Friends, enemies all the same State, fed, both can hang Nobody can mute me, but I never said nobody can't shoot me Just another stat to the white folks Still whip work to the white yolk, absolutely! Everyday feel like the one before Hunt the money, don't hunt the ho If you do what you always done Then you get what you always got You dumb buffoons! I ain't seen the back of my eyelids For about the past 72 hours Hand on my heart, face to the hood I pledge every word you ever heard was honest Yeah this me, no mic No cameras, no lights, just pain Mama how much trauma can I sustain? Dirty money come with lots of stains Road to riches come with lots of lanes Just another player with lots of game Never had shit, got lots to gain... Just another player with lots of game Never had shit, got lots to gain
