What's your life about, enlighten meIs you gonna live on your knees, or die on your feetFire in the street, fire in the swisherFire in between the two legs of your little sisterJust get a sip of this elixirBefore they crop us out of the pictureI've never seen a crop circleBut I've seen a cop circled the blockI puff squares, but I swear one day I'ma stop my nerves itchOn the brink of my careerWhile my peers struggle for employmentCan you hear the screams (Uncle Sam ain’t no kin to me)One two, three four grams and a fifth of HennessyA bad bitch, fuck the penitentiarySection 80’s babies, blame Ronald Reagan, we raising hellLord forbidThe homie got wet, so we trying to soak it inThe president is black, but you can't vote for skinYou vote for the better manCome to our show you can see the diversityUnified people they going to peep it universallyWe might not change the worldBut we going to manipulate itI hope you participatingAyo Dot, won't you let these cats knowWe knew we'd be here, like back in 04'Started hiiipower because our generationNeeded a generator and a system, meant to disintegrate usAnd all we do is assist themWe're not victors, we're victimsThe bigger picture hasn't developed yetLike what if Keisha were celibateWhat if Tammy came across a real manWho didn't play games like childrenMy nigga cheated on his girlfriend with his girlfriend's girlfriendLet the world endAnd everybody tripping off 2012And the extraterrestrial presence as well (Our Future's odd)But our future is not, that Martial law shit droppedWe gonna all get gotSo keep that question mark on your faceEat that fast food, and use that flouride toothpasteHide your feelings from the publicWork a long nine to five, don't forget to pay your tithesAnd to thank God you're alive (Hiiipower)And on another noteWe focused like the Hubble Telescope, SoulLife is a traffic jam (Life is a traffic jam)I wrote this because I was ordered toPeople say I speak for generation YWhy lie, I do, Section 80Your son will play me if the radio won'tDaughters that just turn one to twenty one listen to KendrickFor instanceWhat's your life about, enlighten meIs you gonna live on your knees, or die on your feetTake out that student loan, and pay off your college degreeAnd do exactly what you see on TVTrue story, hm, can you repeat that for me SoulWhat's your life about, enlighten meIs you gonna live on your knees, or die on your feetIs you gonna plead the fifth, or sound the hornThe time is now child, come onSee a lot of ya'll don't understand Kendrick LamarBecause you wonder how I could talk about money,Hoes, clothes, god and history all in the same sentenceYou know what all the things have in commonOnly half of the truth, if you tell itSee I've spent twenty three years on the earth searching for answersTil' one day I realized I had to come up with my ownI'm not on the outside looking inI'm not on the inside looking outI'm in the dead fucking center, looking aroundYou've ever seen a newborn baby kill a grown manThat's an analogy for the way the world make me reactMy innocence been deadSo the next time I talk about money, hoes, clothes, god and history all in the same sentenceJust know I meant it, and you felt itBecause you too are searching for answersI'm not the next pop starI'm not the next socially aware rapperI am a human motherfucking being, over dope ass instrumentationKendrick LamarNow fuck em' up Terrace (Soul!)
