Kendrick Lamar Part. Big Sean & Jay Electronica

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Big Sean]
I look up
Yeah and I take my time, nigga
I’mma take my time, whoa
Power moves only, nigga

[Big Sean]
Boy I’m ‘bout my business on business, I drink liquor on liquor
I had women on women, yeah that’s bunk bed bitches
I’ve done lived more than an eighty year old man still kickin’
Cause they live for some moments, and I live for a livin’
But this for the girls who barely let me get to first base
On some ground ball shit
Cause now I run my city on some town hall shit
They prayin’ on my motherfuckin’ downfall bitch, like a drought, but
You gon’ get this rain like it’s May weather
G.O.O.D. Music, Ye weather
Champagne just tastes better
They told me I never boy, never say never
Swear flow special like an infant’s first steps
I got paid then reversed debts
Then I finally found a girl that reverse stress
So now I’m talkin’ to the reaper to reverse death
Yep, so I can kick it with my granddad, take him for a ride
Show him I made somethin’ out myself and not just tried
Show him the house I bought the fam, let him tour inside
No matter how far ahead I get, I always feel behind
In my mind, but fuck tryin’ and not doin’
Cause not doin’ is somethin’ a nigga not doin’
I said fuck tryin’ and not doin’
Cause not doin’ is somethin’ a nigga not doin’
I grew up to Em, B.I.G. and Pac bitch, and got ruined
So until I got the same crib B.I.G. had in that Juicy vid
Bitch, I can’t motherfuckin’ stop movin’
Go against me, you won’t stop losin’
From the city where every month is May-Day at home, spray your dome
Niggas get sprayed up like AK was cologne for a paycheck or loan
Yeah I know that shit ain’t fair
They say Detroit ain’t got a chance, we ain’t even got a mayor
You write your name with a Sharpie, I write mine in stone
I knew the world was for the taking and wouldn’t take long
We on, tryna be better than everybody that’s better than everybody
Rep Detroit, everybody, Detroit versus everybody
I’m so fuckin’ first class, I could spit up on every pilot
The city’s my Metropolis, feel it, it’s metabolic
And I’m over niggas sayin’ they’re the hottest niggas
Then run to the hottest niggas just to stay hot
I’m one of the hottest because I flame drop
Drop fire, and not because I’m name dropping, Hall of Fame droppin’
And I ain’t takin’ shit from nobody unless they’re OG’s
Cause that ain’t the way of a OG
So I G-O collect more G’s, every dollar
Never changed though, I’m just the new version of old me
Forever hot headed but never got cold feet
Got up in the game won’t look back at my old seats
Clique so deep we take up the whole street
I need a bitch so bad that she take up my whole week, Sean Don

[Kendrick Lamar]
Miscellaneous minds are never explainin’ their minds
Devilish grin for my alias aliens to respond
Peddlin’ sin, thinkin’ maybe when you get old you realize
I’m not gonna fold or demise
(I don’t smoke crack, motherfucker I sell it!)
Bitch, everything I rap is a quarter piece to your melon
So if you have a relapse, just relax and pop in my disc
Don’t you pop me no fucking pill, I’mma a pop you and give you this

[Kendrick Lamar]
Tell Flex to drop a bomb on this shit
So many bombs, ring the alarm like Vietnam on this shit
So many bombs, make Farrakhan think that Saddam in this bitch
One at a time, I line them up
And bomb on they mom while she watching the kids
I’m in a destruction mode if the gold exists
I’m important like the Pope, I’m a Muslim on pork
I’m Makaveli’s offspring, I’m the king of New York
King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both
The juggernaut’s all in your jugular, you take me for jokes
Live in the basement, church pews and funeral faces
Cartier bracelets for my women friends, I’m in Vegas
Who the fuck y’all thought it’s supposed to be?
If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin’ me
I’m uncoachable, I’m unsociable, fuck y’all clubs
Fuck y’all pictures, your Instagram can gobble these nuts
Gobble dick up til you hiccup, my big homie Kurupt
This the same flow that put the rap game on a crutch (West x6)
I’ve seen niggas transform like villain Decepticons
Mollies’ll prolly turn these niggas to fucking Lindsay Lohan
A bunch of rich ass white girls looking for parties
Playing with Barbies, wreck the Porsche before you give them the car key
Judgment to the monarchy, blessings to Paul McCartney
You called me a black Beatle, I’m either that or a Marley
(I don’t smoke crack, motherfucker, I sell it)
I’m dressed in all black, this is not for the fan of Elvis
I’m aiming straight for your pelvis, you can’t stomach me
You plan on stumpin’ me? Bitch I’ve been jumped before you put a gun on me
Bitch I put one on yours, I’m Sean Connery
James Bonding with none of you niggas, climbing 100 mil in front of me
And I’m gonna get it even if you’re in the way
And if you’re in it, better run for Pete’s sake
I heard the barbershops be in great debates all the time
Bout who’s the best MC? Kendrick, Jigga and Nas
Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y’all
New niggas just new niggas, don’t get involved
And I ain’t rocking no more designer shit
White T’s and Nike Cortez, this red Corvettes anonymous
I’m usually homeboys with the same niggas I’m rhymin’ with
But this is hip-hop and them niggas should know what time it is
And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale
Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake
Big Sean, Jay Electron’, Tyler, Mac Miller
I got love for you all but I’m tryna murder you niggas
Trying to make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas
They don’t wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas
What is competition? I’m trying to raise the bar high
Who tryna jump and get it? You’re better off trying to skydive
Out the exit window of 5 G5’s with 5 grand
With your granddad as the pilot he drunk as fuck trying land
With the hand full of arthritis and popping prosthetic leg
Bumpin Pac in the cockpit so the shit that pops in his head
Is an option of violence, someone heard the stewardess said
That your parachute is a latex condom hooked to a dread
West Coast

[Jay Electronica]
You could check my name on the books
I Earth, Wind, and Fire’d the verse, then rained on the hook
The legend of Dorothy Flowers proclaimed from the roof
The tale of a magnificent king who came from the nooks
Of the wild magnolia, mother of many soldiers
We live by every single word she ever told us
Watch over your shoulders
And keep a tin of beans for when the weather turns the coldest
The Lord is our shepherd, so our cup runneth over
Put your trust in the Lord but tether your Chevy Nova
I’m spittin’ this shit for closure
And God is my witness, so you could get it from Hova
To all you magicians that’s fidgeting with the cobra
I’m silent as a rock, ‘cause I came from a rock
That’s why I came with the rock, then signed my name on the Roc
Draw a line around some Earth, then put my name on the plot
Cause I endured a lot of pain for everything that I got
The eyelashes like umbrellas when it rains from the heart
And the tissue is like an angel kissin you in the dark
You go from blind sight to hindsight, passion of the Christ
Right, to baskin’ in the limelight, it take time to get your mind right
Jay Electricity, PBS mysteries
In a lofty place, tangling with Satan over history
You can’t say shit to me – Alhamdulillah
It’s strictly by faith that we made it this far

They send me away to find them a fortune
A chest filled with diamonds and gold
The house was awake
With shadows and monsters
The hallways they echoed and groaned

I sat alone, in bed ‘til the morning
I’m crying: They’re coming for me
And I tried to hold these secrets inside me
My mind’s like a deadly disease

I’m bigger than my body
I’m colder than this home
I’m meaner than my demons
I’m bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out
Please stop, you’re scaring me
I can’t help, this awful energy
Goddamn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?

I paced around for hours, I’m empty
I jumped at the slightest of sounds
And I couldn’t stand the person inside me
I turned all the mirrors around

I’m bigger than my body
I’m colder than this home
I’m meaner than my demons
I’m bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out
Please stop, you’re scaring me
I can’t help, this awful energy
Goddamn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?

I’m well acquainted
With villains that live in my bed
They beg me to write them
So they’ll never die when I’m dead
And I’ve grown familiar
With villains that live in my head
They beg me to write them
So I’ll never die when I’m dead

I’m bigger than my body
I’m colder than this home
I’m meaner than my demons
I’m bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out
Please stop, you’re scaring me
I can’t help, this awful energy
Goddamn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?

And all the kids cried out
Please stop, you’re scaring me
I can’t help, this awful energy
Goddamn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?

So much of me is you i don’t know just who i am
Now i just can’t believe in myself or in anything
And this is what you take from me
And this is what you take from me
And this is what you take from me
And this is what you take from me

I gave you my soul i gave you control of me
Now i just can’t believe in myself or anything

And this is what you take from me
And this is what you take from me
And this is what you take from me
And this is what you take from me

Can’t you just believe "you are my everything"

And this is what you take from me
And this is what you take from me
(repeat to the point of stupidity…)

If I could,
I’d prove you wrong.
And if I could,
I’d let you know,

You control, by your own design,
Knowing your so right.
When the sun is gone,
Life ends with no hope.
Embrace this in your arms.

Patience is gone but you’ve been left alone.
The troubles are trapped in your eyes.
You’ll see me again.
No time to pretend.
Your everything, your anything, mine.
You’ve been wondering when your life begins.
I’ve seen the face of you tonight.

You control, by your own design,
Knowing your so right.
When the sun is gone,
Life ends with no hope.
Embrace this in your arms.

Care to move on,
And afraid to feel young again, why?
Now take my hand cuz it seems the way you see his might.
Tell me why.
Take all that you know inside,
And leave it behind.

Its time to say goodbye…
To all you fall for.
Its time to say goodbye…
An angel bound to fly.

You control, by your own design,
Knowing your so right.
When the sun is gone,
Life ends with no hope.
Embrace this in your arms.

Embrace this in your arms…
Embrace this in your arms…

Don’t you mess with a little girl’s dream
‘Cause she’s liable to grow up mean

Surprised you to find that I’m laughing?
You thought that you’d find me in tears
You thought I’d be crawling the walls
Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear

Well you may be king for the moment
But I am a queen understand
And I’ve got your pawns and your bishops
And castles
All inside the palm of my hand

While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
‘Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me

I was taking control

Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control…

This is beginning to feel good
Watching you squirm in your shoes
A small bead of sweat on your brow
And a growl in your belly your scared to let through

You thought you could keep me from loving
You thought you could feed on my soul
But while you were busy destroying my life
What was half in me has become whole

While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
‘Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me

I was taking control

Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control…

So this is how it feels
To breath in the summer air
The feel the sand between my toes
And love inside my ear
All those things that you taught me to fear
I’ve got them in my garden now
And your not welcome here

Come a little bit closer
Let me look at you
I gave you the benefit
Of the doubt it’s true
But keep in mind my darling
Not every saint is a fool

While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
‘Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me

I was taking control

Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control…

Don’t you mess with me

Father: there has to be more to life than this, because in our
confrontation with a cold cold universe, there is something comical
to the idea that we can really impose our will on humanity– power corrupts!

Daughter :
This is scaring me

Father and daughter 2:

Daughter : …I live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway

Father:
And at the end of it all lies of course the final
phenomenon of deterioration entropy, which is a predictable
disintegrations which the creative life ceases: everything has to fall apart.

Daughter:
Why are you always so serious?!

set you heart at a pace no one could follow
Until its right in the face no one would swallow

We the subtle damned, refuse to follow
And we are determined to control

So many hours in the day in which you’ll suffer
The saviour you delegate just basks in power

We the subtle damned, refuse to follow
And we are determined to control

We’ve lost it all
We breed contempt
With years to go a wealth of debt
A simple retreat

Our friends think we’re opposites

Falling in and out of love

They all said we’d never last

Still we manage to stay together

There’s no easy explanation for it

But whenever there’s a problem

We always work it out somehow

Work it out somehow

Chorus:

They said it wouldn’t last

We had to prove them wrong

‘cause i’ve learned in the past

That love will never do without you

Other guys have tried before

To replace you as my lover

Never did i have a doubt

Boy it’s you i can’t do without

I feel better when i have you near me

‘cause no other love around

Has quite the same ooh ooh

Like you do do do do babe

Repeat chorus

On your knees before the mighty them, receive communion once again,
Obey and follow strict laws to the letter,
Do as you’re told and life will be better,
Go with the flow, avoid the strife, let unknown powers rule your life,
A box of glass dictates your death stolen minds innocence last breath.

On your knees pray to the one you appease.

Whatever happened to the good old days no mental smokescreen subliminal haze,
Corporate society prints out your thoughts spirituality sold and bought.
Now your life is all dictated, all you stood for, all you hated,
Establishment prevails again on your knees before the mighty them.

Look in my eyes and you will find,
Another way to get through your life,
Stare at my face, make up your mind,
And you will find love at first sight,
Connect your soul now get online,
Mind control taking your life.

Try not to look ôcause you might turn to stone,
How much time do you really think on your own?
Just trying to be yourself don’t wanna be like no one else,
It was something that was once pure and the truth was meant to endure,
Gotta find out who’s to blame gotta end this mind control game.

What if they controlled you
What if they erased your mind
I bet you one thing
You wouldn’t know, you wouldn’t know at all

Sometimes i feel
There’s something on my mind wasting time
I really don’t know
But i’ve gotta find the way

If it’s a chance you want
Would you stop and think about somebody else
I really don’t think so
I really don’t think
I really don’t think you would think about

What if they could see you
You’re just a face amongst the crowd
Hiding around so you can’t be found
You wouldn’t know

What if they could love you
What if they had a chance
About a lonesome thing
You wouldn’t know

What if they could love you
What if they had a chance
I bet you one thing
You wouldn’t know, you wouldn’t know

What if they could buy you
How much more to change your mind
And still ……………
It’s just rock’n’roll to me
It’s just one of those things, one of those things

Babylon release the chain
……………….. the pain

Pretty baby, don’t you know, times they are a changin’
Every little moment we grow up we lose control
Life’s a loaded gun with no directions
And it keeps you on the run, it has no mercy
Mum and daddy went to war, never coming back no more
Did you ever think they’d make you whole again
Maybe someone dropped a bomb
Just right into the middle of your soul-they’re in control

You got to get out of control again – no more control again
You’re getting whole again – ain’t no control again
You got to get out of control

20th century honey bee, what you’re doing is what you’ll be
Life’s no dress rehearsal when you bring the honey in
Everything seems wrong to thee
Nurtured from the poison of reality that has no mercy
All your friends went for the thrill, now it’s yours to grab the kill
Did you ever think you’re getting whole again
Maybe someone send a priest with some religion cooking in a bowl
They’re in control
You got to get out of control again…

What’s the fucking thing about control, did you think you’d ever getting whole
Just as long as there is no control, they have no control of you at all

this burden’s not a heavy one
but I assure you, it’s present
this burden’s not a heavy one
but I assure you, it is present

you say that you’re in control

i can’t think of a time
when you looked less alive
you said, "Wait until light, my dear"
just wait until light
one more day will go by
maybe today you should try
look past the mirror and find
look past the mirror
that there’s something inside
something more to your life
my words won’t heal you now
my words won’t heal
it is you who decides
it is you who decides

this burden’s not a heavy one
but I assure you, it’s present
this burden’s not a heavy one
i assure you

believe that you are just fine

be what you are now (be what you are)

while I’m alone inside my mind
I’d like to teach you all the rules

I like it when you chain me to the bed
well then your secrets never shone

I need to get your voice out of my head

Don’t try and make yourself hate him
He tried that one with you
He ended up just hating himself
And more in love with you

You’ll have to learn from all his mistakes
The brain can lie but your heart will never fake

He’s been rushing around
Grabbing all he can find as quickly as he could
‘Cause he knew you would
When he saw that distant look, he had to say goodbye
‘Cause he knew you could

People say that he’s a bastard, that’s an unfair use of words
When I don’t know what was going on, no, I never really heard
Why don’t you wake up to what he’s got
Do you have the time to find out if he’s lost control?

There’s no point in hanging around
If happiness can’t be found, you’d better go
He never stopped to ask you why
He never had to try, well he was wrong

Why don’t you wake up to what you want and listen to his lines
‘Cause what you two have been going through has happened many times

I’ve never seen you taking any prisoners, but I’ve seen you weep
Yeah, I’ve seen you apologising, but thats not gonna work with me.

I’ve heard you’re telling everybody what you’ve done to him
But that doesn’t add up to a sorry and it’s not gonna work with me

He’s been rushing around
Grabbing all he can find as quickly as he could
‘Cause he knew you would
When he saw that distant look, he had to say goodbye
‘Cause he knew you could

Why don’t you wake up to what he’s got and stop filling him with lies
‘Cause what you two have been going through has happened many times
It’s happened too many times
