Untitled 08 l 09.06.2014. - Kendrick Lamar (肯德里克·拉马尔) Written by：K. Duckworth Why so sad
Walking around with them blue faces
She said I'm down on my luck And its something I gotta have Blue faces
I hit the bank today and told them color me bad Blue faces
Get that new money and it's breaking me down honey
Two tears in the bucket I cry with you
But I could never lie with you I could never afford not to afford I could never put my plans to the side with you I could never see a red light Like a deer with a headlight I freeze up when I re-up See I barely have patience And you're relating Only the moment to complete us Why you hate to work for it The reason I never went to work for it See a nine to five was so jive turkey But when thanksgiving came that check didn't hurt me You plead the fifth I read the fifth amendment We both criminals with bad intentions
They say time heals all But if I can shortcut My success corvettes by tomorrow
Why so sad
Walking around with them blue faces
She said I'm down on my luck And its something I gotta have Blue faces
I hit the bank today and told them color me bad
Blue faces
Get that new money and its breaking me down honey
My home girl got a credit card scam She got a scholarship to college but she don't give a damn Intuition she got a broke b**ch wishin' She tell me this on the phone with the noodles in the pan I know you woman I console you woman
You feel like the universe owes you woman Oh the anticipation of hoping you could make it B**ches don't prosper chasing education
But you're talented and can't handle it And your homegirls can't be your manager 365 times four plus more If yan't get it right tell me do you got the stamina But sh*t ain't no money like fast money Even today I'm considered a crash dummy A rapper chasing stardom how can I fast forward My accolades better than all them Why so sad
Walking around with them blue faces
She said I'm down on my luck And it's something I gotta have Blue faces
I hit the bank today and told them color me bad
Blue faces
Get that new money and it's breaking me down honey
I wrote this song looking at a broke home baby
You know the poverty stricken the little broke boy and babies
Somebody yell kendrick American they sho is crazy
And I said why
Then he looked me in the eye and said ni**a you f**ked up You're banking on good luck you wishing for miracles You never been through sh*t you're crying hysterical You settle for everything complain about everything You say you sold crack my world amphetamine Your projects ain't sh*t I live in a hut b**ch I'm living to keep warm you living to pay rent I prayed my way through by waiting on allah You played your way through by living in sci-fi Bullshitting yourself you talking to strangers Same thing goes for the ones you came with When y'all came on the boat looking for hope And all you can say is that you're looking for d**e These days ain't no compromise And your pain ain't mines half the time A brand new excuse ain't sh*t to me B**ch I made my moves with shackled feet Cape town
In today's day and age we practice the self pity of Taking the easy way out
You wait on them him and her
But when a blessing takes too long that's when you go wrong
You selfish motherf**ker
Why so sad
Walking around with them blue faces
She said I'm down on my luck And it's something I gotta have Blue faces
I hit the bank today and told them color me bad Blue faces
Get that new money and it's breaking me down honey
