Lyrics & Translation
English
[Dash Snow (Daniel Joseph) {Kendrick Lamar}:]
I'll tell you what I don't believe in, can I do that?
Alright, I don't believe in the, in laws, or the system by any means, whatsoever
I try not to obey them at any time
That's what I believe in, not believing in
(So what keeps you alive?)
Four big bottles of water a day, two packs of Marlboro Reds and
Uh, I don't—what keeps me alive? Shit, um
Music, I have to listen to music all day long
I'd say that keeps me going
I'm a pretty dark person, I've thought about ending it a million times
And I have to say that music keeps me here, by far, the main thing
{Thank you}
[Kendrick Lamar:]
Sitting in the studio thinking about which mood would go
Right now, freestyle or write down, whatever
It still'll come up clever, I just need to free my thoughts
And Lord knows that I know better, but I ain't perfect
I ain't seen too many churches or know them testament verses
You should either hear me now or go deaf
Or end up dead, die trying and know death
Might end up dead, swallow blood, swallow my breath
Fuck a funeral, just make sure you pay my music respect, nigga
I mean that from the bottom of my heart
You see my art is all I have, and victory tastes sweet
Even when the enemy can throw salt
Still knock 'em out the park like a fucking tow car
Let bygones be bygones, but where I'm from
We buy guns and more guns to give to the young
I'm living the life of a nigga trapped nigga
Inside the system, all you envision is trap niggas
My uncle doing life inside prison, he wasn't wrapped too tight
He told me, "Rap about life, not rap, niggas."
That's why I'm shaking my head when you rap-dissing
My stomach start turning, my nerves get to twitching
I start evaluating, then my final intuition
Is that you wishing a come up, would just come up
We used to beefing over turf, fuck beefing over a verse
Niggas dying, motherfuck a double entendre
And this is Compton, lions in the land of the triumph
Wrap-Saran our defiance, ban our alliance
Put burners in the hands of the black man
One hood with twenty four-fours like a cloned Kobe Bryant
You probably heard I wanna be heard and wonder who I am
You probably even listened to "Faith" and think I know Zion
But really I'm just caught in the loop of understanding the truth
Because it seem like it's always clashing with science
I got a big fear of flying
My future so bright I'd probably go blind before I blink twice, I ain't lying
I swear to God half of y'all just don't know Kendrick
The school of hard knocks, we was the first ones in attendance
You walking down the block, he got shot, you are no eye witness
You just mind your business
You just turn your head, kneel down, and then tie your tennis
It's kinda scary, ain't it?
You can't act like no bitch, that only got Tyler Perry famous
Just let me explain this, why you pick up that stainless?
'Cause your pops wasn't anxious to see you and you hated it
So much, you probably had your burner tucked at graduation
Said if you see him on them bleachers then you kill him, facing
Twenty-five to life with a murder charge
Your enemies was the prey, and now you pray to God
I pray these bars get farther than Compton
And if our record never break I still won't break my promise, I promise to keep it honest
Secret society, all we ask is trust
And all we lack is communication like service sucks
The people scared of annihilation when Kingdom Come
And I'm like, "The Kendrick Lamar O.D. in less than a month
Alright?" Gotta keep it pushing
Can't let the government tell me how my future looking
I'm on Rosecrans and Central trying to duck the central bookings
If the fucking pigs get behind me then you know I'm bucking, never will I surrender
I've been a warrior when I came out of my mom's placenta
In the gutter lane like I'm Master Splinter
How splendid, I guess my project had did it
Got all these niggas approaching their mixtapes different
They said seven tracks, I said fifteen
Called it an EP, they said I'm tripping
But little did they know, I'm tryna change the rules
That we've been confined to, so the corporate won't make decisions
Uppity bitches, handling business
Killing our dreams, stealing our vision
Out in Haiti adolescents barely have a home
In L.A. everybody think they're fucking on
Hop on Twitter, perpetrate, we doing big shit
Who we hanging with, and bragging about the iPhone
I swear to God, most of y'all cats just don't know Kendrick
You barely know yourself, so I guess most of y'all should be offended
Ain't doing this for my health, I'm just trying to purchase my mamma them Benzes
Occupying my time with riches, justifying my time, ambitions
Just to coincide, just to go inside, plus we idolize why we living
Look the mastermind, took the master's mind, just the perfect time, just to master mine
Just to match the grind with precision, look the mastermind, took the

The Heart Pt. 2 (traducción LyricVerse Team)
[Dash Snow (Daniel Joseph) {Kendrick Lamar}:]
Te diré en qué no creo, ¿puedo hacer eso?
Bien, no creo en las, en las leyes, o en el sistema de ninguna manera, en absoluto
Intento no obedecerlas en ningún momento
En eso creo, en no creer en
(¿Entonces qué te mantiene vivo?)
Cuatro botellas grandes de agua al día, dos paquetes de Marlboro Rojos y
Uh, yo no... ¿qué me mantiene vivo? Mierda, um
Música, tengo que escuchar música todo el día
Diría que eso me mantiene en marcha
Soy una persona bastante oscura, he pensado en terminar con todo un millón de veces
Y tengo que decir que la música me mantiene aquí, con diferencia, lo principal
{Gracias}
[Kendrick Lamar:]
Sentado en el estudio pensando en qué estado de ánimo iría
Ahora mismo, improvisar o escribir, lo que sea
Aún así saldrá ingenioso, solo necesito liberar mis pensamientos
Y el Señor sabe que lo sé mejor, pero no soy perfecto
No he visto demasiadas iglesias ni conozco esos versículos del testamento
Deberías escucharme ahora o quedarte sordo
O terminar muerto, morir intentándolo y conocer la muerte
Podría terminar muerto, tragar sangre, tragar mi aliento
A la mierda un funeral, solo asegúrate de respetar mi música, negro
Lo digo desde el fondo de mi corazón
Ves que mi arte es todo lo que tengo, y la victoria sabe dulce
Incluso cuando el enemigo puede echar sal
Aún así los saco del parque como un puto coche de remolque
Que lo pasado sea pasado, pero de donde vengo
Compramos armas y más armas para dárselas a los jóvenes
Estoy viviendo la vida de un negro atrapado
Dentro del sistema, todo lo que visualizas son negros atrapados
Mi tío cumpliendo cadena perpetua en prisión, no estaba demasiado cuerdo
Me dijo: "Rapea sobre la vida, no rapees, negros".
Por eso estoy negando con la cabeza cuando rapeas insultando
Mi estómago empieza a dar vueltas, mis nervios empiezan a temblar
Empiezo a evaluar, entonces mi intuición final
Es que estás deseando un ascenso, simplemente ascenderías
Solíamos pelearnos por territorio, a la mierda pelearse por un verso
Negros muriendo, a la mierda un doble sentido
Y esto es Compton, leones en la tierra del triunfo
Envolvemos en Saran nuestra rebeldía, prohibimos nuestra alianza
Ponemos armas en las manos del hombre negro
Un barrio con veinticuatro cuatros como un Kobe Bryant clonado
Probablemente has oído que quiero ser escuchado y te preguntas quién soy
Probablemente incluso escuchaste "Faith" y piensas que conozco a Zion
Pero realmente estoy atrapado en el bucle de entender la verdad
Porque parece que siempre está chocando con la ciencia
Tengo un gran miedo a volar
Mi futuro es tan brillante que probablemente me quedaría ciego antes de parpadear dos veces, no estoy mintiendo
Juro por Dios que la mitad de ustedes simplemente no conocen a Kendrick
La escuela de los golpes duros, fuimos los primeros en asistir
Estás caminando por la calle, le dispararon, no eres testigo ocular
Solo ocúpate de tus asuntos
Solo gira la cabeza, arrodíllate y luego átate las zapatillas
Da un poco de miedo, ¿verdad?
No puedes actuar como una perra, eso solo hizo famoso a Tyler Perry
Solo déjame explicar esto, ¿por qué recoges ese inoxidable?
Porque tu padre no estaba ansioso por verte y lo odiaste
Tanto, que probablemente tenías tu arma guardada en la graduación
Dijiste que si lo veías en esas gradas, entonces lo matarías, enfrentando
Veinticinco años a cadena perpetua con un cargo de asesinato
Tus enemigos eran la presa, y ahora le rezas a Dios
Rezo para que estos versos lleguen más lejos que Compton
Y si nuestro disco nunca se rompe, aún así no romperé mi promesa, prometo mantenerlo honesto
Sociedad secreta, todo lo que pedimos es confianza
Y todo lo que nos falta es comunicación como si el servicio fuera una mierda
La gente tiene miedo de la aniquilación cuando llegue el Reino
Y yo digo: "Kendrick Lamar O.D. en menos de un mes
¿De acuerdo?" Tengo que seguir adelante
No puedo dejar que el gobierno me diga cómo se ve mi futuro
Estoy en Rosecrans y Central tratando de esquivar las reservas centrales
Si los putos cerdos me persiguen, entonces sabes que estoy resistiendo, nunca me rendiré
He sido un guerrero cuando salí de la placenta de mi madre
En el carril de la cuneta como si fuera el Maestro Splinter
Qué espléndido, supongo que mi proyecto lo había logrado
Hizo que todos estos negros abordaran sus mixtapes de manera diferente
Dijeron siete pistas, yo dije quince
Lo llamé un EP, dijeron que estoy delirando
Pero poco sabían, estoy tratando de cambiar las reglas
A las que hemos estado confinados, para que la corporación no tome decisiones
Perra engreídas, manejando negocios
Matando nuestros sueños, robando nuestra visión
En Haití, los adolescentes apenas tienen un hogar
En Los Ángeles, todos piensan que están follando
Súbete a Twitter, perpetra, estamos haciendo grandes cosas
Con quién estamos saliendo y alardeando sobre el iPhone
Juro por Dios que la mayoría de ustedes simplemente no conocen a Kendrick
Apenas te conoces a ti mismo, así que supongo que la mayoría de ustedes deberían sentirse ofendidos
No estoy haciendo esto por mi salud, solo estoy tratando de comprarles a mi mamá esos Benzes
Ocupando mi tiempo con riquezas, justificando mi tiempo, ambiciones
Solo para coincidir, solo para entrar, además idolatramos por qué vivimos
Mira la mente maestra, tomó la mente del maestro, justo el momento perfecto, solo para dominar la mía
Solo para igualar el esfuerzo con precisión, mira la mente maestra, tomó la
[Alori Joh:]
Nos gustaría llamar a esto una cinta de agradecimiento para aquellos que reconocieron el EP de Kendrick Lamar porque este es el Kendrick Lamar O.D.
Gracias a ti, estamos Overly Dedicated
