FEAR. (害怕) (Explicit) - Kendrick Lamar (肯德里克·拉马尔)
Written by：K. Duckworth/D. Maman
I don't think I can find a way to make it on this earth
I've been hungry all my life
Start to home
Why God why God do I gotta suffer
Pain in my heart carry burdens full of struggle
Why God why God do I gotta bleed
Every stone thrown at you restin' at my feet
Why God why God do I gotta suffer
Earth is no more why don't you burn this muf**ka
I don't think I can find a way to make it on this earth
I've been hungry all my life
Start to home
I beat yo' a** keep talkin' back
I beat yo' a** who bought you that
You stole it I beat yo' a** if you say that game is broken up
I beat yo' a** if you jump on my couch
I beat yo' a** if you walk in this house with tears in your eyes
Runnin' from poopoo and 'prentice
Go back outside I beat yo' a** lil ni**a
That homework better be finished I beat yo' a**
Yo' teachers better not be B***hin' 'bout you in class
That pizza better not be wasted you eat it all
That TV better not be loud if you got it on
Them Jordans better not get dirty when I just bought 'em
Better not hear 'bout you humpin' on Keisha's daughter
Better not hear you got caught up I beat yo' a**
You better not run to your father I beat yo' a**
You know my patience runnin' thin
I got buku payments to make
County building's on my a**
Tryna take my food stamps away
I beat yo' a** if you tell them social workers he live here
I beat yo' a** if I beat yo' a** twice and you still here
Seven years old think you run this house by yourself
Ni**a you gon' fear me if you don't fear no one else
If I can smoke fear away I roll that motherf**ker up
And then I take two puffs
I'm high now I'm high now
I'm high now I'm high now
Life's a b**ch pull them panties to the side now
I don't think I can find a way to make it on this earth
I'll prolly die anonymous
I'll prolly die with promises
I'll prolly die walkin' back home from the candy house
I'll prolly die because these colors are standin' out
I'll prolly die because I ain't know Demarcus was snitchin'
I'll prolly die at these house parties f**kin' with b**ches
I'll prolly die from witnesses leavin' me false accused
I'll prolly die from thinkin' that me and your hood was cool
Or maybe die from pressin' the line actin' too extra
Or maybe die because these smokers are more than desperate
I'll prolly die from one of these bats and blue badges
Body slammed on black and white paint my bones snappin'
Or maybe die from panic or die from bein' too lax
Or die from waitin' on it die 'cause I'm movin' too fast
I'll prolly die tryna buy w**d at the apartments
I'll prolly die tryna diffuse two homies arguin'
I'll prolly die because that's what you do when you're 17
All worries in a hurry I wish I controlled things
If I could smoke fear away I'd roll that mothaf**ka up
And then I'd take two puffs
I've been hungry all my life
I'm high now I'm high now
I'm high now I'm high now
Life's a b**ch pull them panties to the side now now
When I was 27 I grew accustomed to more fear
Accumulated 10 times over throughout the years
My newfound life made all of me magnified
How many accolades do I need to block denial
The shock value of my success put bolts in me
All this money is God playin' a joke on me
Is it for the moment and will he see me as Job
Take it from me and leave me worse than I was before
At 27 my biggest fear was losin' it all
Scared to spend money had me sleepin' from hall to hall
Scared to go back to Section 8 with my mama stressin'
30 shows a month and I still won't buy me no Lexus
What is an advisor somebody that's holdin' my checks
Just to f**k me over and put my finances in debt
I read a case about Rihanna's accountant and wondered
How did the bad girl feel when she looked at them numbers
The type of sh*t'll make me flip out and just kill somethin' drill somethin'
Get ill and fill ratchets with a lil' somethin'
I practiced runnin' from fear guess I had some good luck
At 27 years old my biggest fear was bein' judged
How they look at me reflect on myself my family my city
What they say 'bout me reveal if my reputation would miss me
What they see from me would trickle down generations in time
What they hear from me would make 'em highlight my simplest lines
I'm talkin' fear fear of losin' creativity
I'm talkin' fear fear of missin' out on you and me
I'm talkin' fear fear of losin' loyalty from pride
'Cause my DNA won't let me involve in the light of God
I'm talkin' fear fear that my humbleness is gone
I'm talkin' fear fear that love ain't livin' here no more
I'm talkin' fear fear that it's wickedness or weakness
Fear whatever it is both is distinctive
Fear what happens on Earth stays on Earth
And I can't take these feelings with me so hopefully they disperse
Within fourteen tracks carried out over wax
Searchin' for resolutions until somebody get back
Fear what happens on earth stays on earth
And I can't take these feelings with me so hopefully they disperse
Within fourteen tracks carried out over wax
Wonderin' if I'm livin' through fear or livin' through rap
I've been hungry all my life
Start to home
I've been hungry all my life
Start to home
