Vanity Slaves Pt. 2 by Kendrick Lamar
Lyrics & Translation
English
[Kendrick Lamar:]
I swear you people don't know Kendrick, you don't know him
But you say you want some more Kendrick, I'm 'bout to show 'em
Everything inside this human being, I'm still growing
I'm a premature baby in this crazy life that we adore
Doors on the Lamborghini, I want 'em
Can't afford 'em so I tell the swap meet to clone 'em
I guess I really am a vanity slave
I guess my ancestors turning in their graves
Burning money when I get it, fuck a life savings
Overdraft bank statements, just to make a statement
When I put this fashion on, I'm a fashion junkie
Picking cotton in the country, I bought this out the country
Whips and chains, whips and chains, Jacob know my name
He call me Kunta, you my brother, we come from the same modern world
That's ya girl? I see she rocking Fendi
Try this on
If it ain't upscale then you may offend me
Copping everything in sight, ignoring their sacrifice
Amnesia if I see the black visa in my hand tonight
I show my dick and then I swipe, that's a punchline
They was hot and I wore ice, that's ironic huh?
[Kendrick Lamar & Gucci Mane:]
Word around town that I'm all about the bitches
Word around town that I love my 26s
Word around town that I gotta stay paid
Lord please forgive me I'm a vanity slave
It's the Gucci cock and shoot
Found my swag but lost my roof, (Burr! Burr!)
Lord please forgive me I'm a vanity slave
See my Audemar tick, as my Audemar tock
Lord please forgive me I'm a vanity slave
[Kendrick Lamar:]
Aw man videos got me wanting hoes
Appetite for flashing lights, all I can do is pose
A black male... on Melrose. I should get blackmailed
By my people hell rose, niggas that ain't had shit
For 400 years overcompensate by over accessorizing with gear
Man y'all don't see my vision
I do it for the love of hip hop and the love of bitches
Am I a hypocrite 'cause everyday I'm contradicting
I think of how I'm living, then I watch "How I'm Living" I know this can't be right
My conscience tell me to stay righteous
It's unlikely to see what I like and say I don't like it
Biggest dilemma my priorities ignoring me, I wanna move accordingly
But baby steps are premature remember?
I'm flying to the south and I'll be gone 'til November
To see my family tree but this a shame I'm yelling, out, timber
[Kendrick Lamar & Gucci Mane:]
Word around town that I'm all about the bitches

Lord please forgive me I'm a vanity slave
See my Audemar tick, as my Audemar tock
Lord please forgive me I'm a vanity slave
[Kendrick Lamar:]
Cold, oh so cold
How ironic he bought it then sold his soul
Is it masonic for your vice to take its toll?
The remote control is taking control
Lift up the doors
That Lamborghini I wanted come with a dumb ass model that in vogue
I like 'em both, I'll wife 'em both
Take these motherfucking Jordan's off, put on my loafs
'Cause nothing goes bad, every time I wear (Gucci)
I'm getting more ass, every time I wear (Gucci)
They told me it's a fad, every time I wear (Gucci)
But should I give a fuck when it bring me more coochie?
This a young nigga's pedigree, I pray the lord can better me
If not he 'bout to strike me down like this my third felony
The voices keep on telling me, Kendrick don't forget about us
I burned my wardrobe, hoping that I could live without it
[Kendrick Lamar & Gucci Mane:]

Vanity Slaves Pt. 2 (traducción LyricVerse Team)
[Kendrick Lamar:]
Juro que ustedes no conocen a Kendrick, no lo conocen
Pero dicen que quieren más de Kendrick, estoy a punto de mostrárselos
Todo dentro de este ser humano, todavía estoy creciendo
Soy un bebé prematuro en esta loca vida que adoramos
Puertas en el Lamborghini, las quiero
No puedo permitírmelas, así que le digo al mercado de trueque que las clone
Supongo que realmente soy un esclavo de la vanidad
Supongo que mis antepasados se revuelcan en sus tumbas
Quemando dinero cuando lo consigo, a la mierda los ahorros de toda una vida
Extractos bancarios sobregirados, solo para hacer una declaración
Cuando me pongo esta moda, soy un adicto a la moda
Recogiendo algodón en el campo, compré esto fuera del país
Látigos y cadenas, látigos y cadenas, Jacob sabe mi nombre
Me llama Kunta, tú eres mi hermano, venimos del mismo mundo moderno
¿Esa es tu chica? Veo que está luciendo Fendi
Pruébate esto
Si no es de lujo, entonces puedes ofenderme
Comprando todo a la vista, ignorando su sacrificio
Amnesia si veo la visa negra en mi mano esta noche
Muestro mi pene y luego deslizo, esa es una frase ingeniosa
Estaban calientes y yo usé hielo, eso es irónico, ¿eh?
[Kendrick Lamar & Gucci Mane:]
Se corre la voz de que solo me importan las perras
Se corre la voz de que amo mis 26s
Se corre la voz de que tengo que seguir cobrando
Señor, por favor, perdóname, soy un esclavo de la vanidad
Es el gallo y disparo de Gucci
Encontré mi estilo pero perdí mi techo, (¡Burr! ¡Burr!)
Señor, por favor, perdóname, soy un esclavo de la vanidad
Mira mi Audemar hacer tictac, mientras mi Audemar hace toc
Señor, por favor, perdóname, soy un esclavo de la vanidad
[Kendrick Lamar:]
Aw hombre, los videos me hacen querer putas
Apetito por las luces intermitentes, todo lo que puedo hacer es posar
Un hombre negro... en Melrose. Deberían chantajearme
Por mi gente, el infierno se levantó, negros que no han tenido una mierda
Durante 400 años sobrecompensan sobre-accesorizando con equipo
Hombre, ustedes no ven mi visión
Lo hago por el amor al hip hop y el amor a las perras
¿Soy un hipócrita porque todos los días me contradigo?
Pienso en cómo estoy viviendo, luego veo "Cómo estoy viviendo", sé que esto no puede estar bien
Mi conciencia me dice que me mantenga justo
Es poco probable que vea lo que me gusta y diga que no me gusta
El mayor dilema, mis prioridades me ignoran, quiero moverme en consecuencia
Pero los pasos de bebé son prematuros, ¿recuerdas?
Vuelo al sur y me iré hasta noviembre
Para ver mi árbol genealógico, pero esto es una vergüenza, estoy gritando, ¡madera!
[Kendrick Lamar & Gucci Mane:]
Se corre la voz de que solo me importan las perras
Se corre la voz de que amo mis 26s
Se corre la voz de que tengo que seguir cobrando
Señor, por favor, perdóname, soy un esclavo de la vanidad
Es el gallo y disparo de Gucci
Encontré mi estilo pero perdí mi techo, (¡Burr! ¡Burr!)
Señor, por favor, perdóname, soy un esclavo de la vanidad
Mira mi Audemar hacer tictac, mientras mi Audemar hace toc
Señor, por favor, perdóname, soy un esclavo de la vanidad
[Kendrick Lamar:]
Frío, oh, tan frío
Qué irónico que lo compró y luego vendió su alma
¿Es masónico que tu vicio te pase factura?
El control remoto está tomando el control
Levanta las puertas
Ese Lamborghini que quería viene con una modelo tonta que está de moda
Me gustan ambas, me casaré con ambas
Quítate estos malditos Jordan's, ponte mis mocasines
Porque nada sale mal, cada vez que uso (Gucci)
Estoy consiguiendo más culo, cada vez que uso (Gucci)
Me dijeron que es una moda pasajera, cada vez que uso (Gucci)
¿Pero debería importarme una mierda cuando me trae más coochie?
Este es el pedigrí de un joven negro, rezo para que el señor pueda mejorarme
Si no, está a punto de derribarme como si fuera mi tercer delito grave
Las voces siguen diciéndome, Kendrick, no te olvides de nosotros
Quemé mi guardarropa, esperando poder vivir sin él
[Kendrick Lamar & Gucci Mane:]
Se corre la voz de que solo me importan las perras
Se corre la voz de que amo mis 26s
Se corre la voz de que tengo que seguir cobrando
Señor, por favor, perdóname, soy un esclavo de la vanidad
Es el gallo y disparo de Gucci
Encontré mi estilo pero perdí mi techo, (¡Burr! ¡Burr!)
Señor, por favor, perdóname, soy un esclavo de la vanidad
Mira mi Audemar hacer tictac, mientras mi Audemar hace toc
Señor, por favor, perdóname, soy un esclavo de la vanidad
