Little Johnny
Kendrick Lamar

Uh, yeah

Kendrick Lamar, uh

Yeah I can reconcile being depressed real bad

I'm a thinker, not a drinker, but still I Hennessy drag

Alcohol numbs the pain like when novocaine stabs

In your arteries, pardon me but my city go mad

Via Compton California, corners with coroners and karma on 'em

Colors corresponding to gangs upon us

Common corrupted Crip and Pirus cripple the city

Triple the crime, Bible nor the Qur'an can save

Welcome, don't be afraid, your city similar right?

Where the choppers kidnap the night and police silence your rights

Stare at the sky, wonder will you live to see twenty-five?

I'm twenty-two, at twenty I knew I was against the odds

This kid named Jonathan was monitoring

His momma and sister, his older cousin, he honored him

Anonymous bodies on his burner was astonishing

To Johnny, he might have been a modern day rider then

He walking outside again, he see the lifestyle of an active member

Pull out a MAC-11, now his eyes is big

Fascinated by mayhem, what's his cousin to say now?

He wanna be from the hood that he's from and that's one

More gangster under the family tree, took 'em under his (wings) like KFC

Crip crazy, rocking matching T-shirts that says the hood made me

No love, just spread slugs, that's the policy, the leader and the prodigy

Now shorty doo-wop, holding a oowop, hanging with rah-rahs

With blah-blahs that sit on the block catching fades and licks

Going on missions with lunatics, a ninth-grade menace

Thugging for six months, smoking like six blunts an hour

The power of banging, he was walking from...

Little Johnny

I think you'll find, sir, that there will come a time

When black people wake up and become intellectually independent enough to

Think for themselves

As other humans are intellectually independent enough to think for

Themselves

Then the black man will think like a black man and he will feel for other

Black people

And this new thinking and feeling will cause black people to stick together

And then at that point you'll have a situation

Where when you attack one black man, you are attacking all black men

And this type of black thinking will cause all black people to stick

Together

And this type of thinking also will bring an end

To the brutality inflicted upon black people by (black people)

And it is the only thing that will bring an end to it

No federal court, state court or city court will bring an end to it

It's something that the black man has to bring an end to
