The Jig Is Up
Kendrick Lamar

[Intro:]

Praise to the almighty, Hiiipower

Me and my niggas

3 eyes to my alumni

I wanna hear, turn me up

Turn me up a little bit more

My nigga Cole in this motherfucker, sup nigga

There we go yeah, turn me up


[Verse:]

Picture plenty pussies throwing pelly guns at me

Paranoia making it more than difficult for me to sleep

Pinnacle, I know I be, centerfold, I know I got

They hate to frame me as the Mona Lisa of hip hop

So retaliation is a must

When we bend the block, my niggas dumping out the roof

Drive past, guns blast, shooting up the charts too

Me, K-D-O-T, put tnt inside my suit

Walk inside the label, struck a match, then I blew

C4 everywhere, C4 everywhere

I got three hoes with me, it smells like Dior and derriиre

Decoy Dodge slow, you can detour to Heaven’s stair

Walking inside Hell’s dungeons, I just might derail something

They pussies, I smell something

You dush on the daily niggas, you push on them daisies

I push on gas on the Mercedes, nigga

Came in this game with a Rolie chain and a dream

Became reality, made some casualties, my choppers scream


[Hook:]

And now we dumping out the roof

Drive past, guns blast, shooting up the charts too

Me, K-D-O-T, put T-N-T inside my suit

Walk inside the label, struck a match, then I blew


[Verse 2:]

Nigga that thought Good Kid might flop, or that I might go pop

Or your bitch won’t drop, knees when my shit drop

You’re too infatuated by the fucking numbers

Should make it easy for me to divide and conquer

I come from Compton, we ain’t have it all

Smoke a space inside the cafeteria hall

And I’m putting fear in you all

See your skeletons shaking

Jump out your body, you Ricky Bobby unti you naked

Y’all pray to God this week I be putting out bombs

I pray to God this beat is good enough for Shyne

If not J. Cole, your shit is trash

But at least my opinion just made everyone laugh

This is where we at? I guess it’s entertainment

I guess this is speculation making a classic king with

If I ain’t have the patience I’d probably self destruct

Real people want real music, the jig is up


[Bridge: Kendrick Lamar & J Cole]

Your worst fear is confirred, we love that you crashed and burn the real is back

Kdot it’s your turn, take your victory lap

King Cole salutin’ Compton’s own King Kendrick

That's the sky is falling, the wind is calling

Stand for something or die in the morning

The city hail King Kendrick Lamar

The world hail King Kendrick Lamar


[Hook:]


[Outro:]

This is my life and I look at it like it's my last

And I’m lookin’ right past the future as I reminisce on my past

And I don’t even think how I used to, my mind is on rocket blast

And I don’t even drink like I used too, and I don’t even smoke

So you know this natural flow is for users since they want to go to rehab

Lookin’ at the coke that he had, matter fact that followers bother them

Then but I won’t say my bad, see I just lay in the cut

Watch the product stack up, motherfucker what what

See now we dumpin’ out the roof
