The Heart Part 5 Lyrics – Kendrick Lamar
As i get a little older i realize life is perspectiveAnd my perspective may differ from yoursI wanna say thank you to everyone that’s been down with meAll my fans all my beautiful fansAnyone who’s ever gave me a listen all my people
I come from a generation of pain where murder is minorRebellious and margielas’ll chip you for designerBelt buckles and clout overzealous if prone to violenceMake the wrong turn be a will of the wheel alignmentResidue burned missed at a inner-cityMis-Communication to keep homie detective busy
No protection is riskyDesensitized i vandalized painCovered up and camouflagedGet used to hearin’ arsenal rainAnalyze risk your life take the chargeHomies done fucked your babyMama once you hit the yard that’s culture
23 hour lockdown then somebody calledSaid your lil’ nephew was shot down the culture’s involvedI done seen niggas do 17 hit the halfway houseGet out and get his brains blown out lookin’ to buy some weedCar wash is played out new go fund me accounts’ll proceedA brand-new victim’ll shatter those dreams the culture
I want i want i want i wantBut i want you to want me tooI want i want i want i wantI want the hood to want me back
I want i want i want i wantI want the hoodLook what i done for youLook what i done for youLook what i done for you
I said i’d do this for my cultureTo let y’all know what a nigga look likeIn a bulletproof roverIn my mama’s sofa was a doo-doo popperHair trigger walk up closer ain’t no photoshoppin
Friends bipolar grab you by your pocketsNo option if you froze up always play the offenseNiggas goin’ to work and sellin’ work late for workWorkin’ late prayin’ for work but he on paperworkThat’s the culture point the finger promote yaRemote location witness protection they gon’ hold yaThe streets got me fucked up y’all can miss meI wanna represent for us
New revolution was up and movin’I’m in argentina wiping my tears full of confusionWater in between us another peer’s been executedHistory repeats againMake amends then find a nigga with the same skin to do it
But that’s the culture crack a bottleHard to deal with the pain when you’re soberBy tomorrow we forget the remains we start overThat’s the problemOur foundation was trained to accept whatever follows
Dehumanize insensitiveScrutinize the way we live for you and iEnemies shook my hand i can promise i’ll meet youIn the land where no equal is your equalNever say i ain’t told ya nah
In the land where hurt people hurt more peopleFuck callin’ it culture
I want i want i want i wantBut i want you to want me tooI want i want i want i wantI want the hood to want me back
I want i want i want i wantI want the hoodLook what i done for youLook what i done for youLook what i done for you
Take the drums out
Celebrate new life when it come back aroundThe purpose is in the lessons we learnin’ nowSacrifice personal gain over everythingJust to see the next generation better than ours
I wasn’t perfect the skin i was in had truly sufferedTemptation and patience everything that the body nurturesI felt the good i felt the bad and i felt the worryBut all-in-all my productivity had stayed urgentFace your fears always knew that i would make it here
Where the energy is magnified and perseveredConsciousness is synchronized and crystal clearEuphoria is glorified and made hisReflectin’ on my life and what i donePaid dues made rules change outta loveThem same views made schools change curriculumsBut didn’t change me starin’ down the barrel of that gunShould i feel resentful i didn’t see my full potential?Should i feel regret about the good that i was into?
Everything is everything this ain’t coincidentalI woke up that morning with more heart to give youAs i bleed through the speakers feel my presence
To my brother to my kids i’m in heavenTo my mother to my sis i’m in heavenTo my father to my wife i am serious this is heavenTo my friends make sure you countin’ them blessingsTo my fans make sure you make them investments
And to the killer that sped up my demiseI forgive you just know your soul’s in questionI seen the pain in your pupil when that trigger had squeezedAnd though you did me gruesome i was surely relieved
I completed my mission wasn’t ready to leaveBut fulfilled my days my creator was pleasedI can’t stress how i love y’allI don’t need to be in flesh just to hug y’allThe memories recollect just because y’all
Celebrate me with respectThe unity we protect is above allAnd sam i’ll be watchin’ over youMake sure my kids watch all my interviewsMake sure you live all the dreams we produceKeep that genius in your brain on the move
And to my neighborhood let the good prevailMake sure them babies and the leaders outta jailLook for salvation when troubles get real‘Cause you can’t help the world until you help yourselfAnd i can’t blame the hood the day that i was killedY’all had to see it that’s the only way to feelAnd though my physical won’t reap the benefitsThe energy that carry on emits still i want you
Watch now
