Barbed Wire - Kendrick Lamar (肯德里克·拉马尔)/Ash Riser

One time reporting live

Compton California

Have you ever felt like

Like you never get life

Like you never get right

Sort of like a black sheep

Back down backing out your dreams

Like some bad sleep

Chasing for the wind

But you never win the track meet

Oh what a cold world

For a broke ni**a it's bitter

And life's a b**ch

Don't hit women so I bit her

I struck enough pain

Let her know I wasn't playing

I was so sincere

Like Nas first name in Belly

They tell me

It's very difficult to see 25

And if I survive

It'll probably be with a celly

My opportunities are low

Because my brown complexion floats

In the ghetto rather

In some heels like Giuseppe's

They want me unemployed

Until I hit the streets

Fulfilling voids of broke

D-Boys selling w**d

F**king up my prestige

'Til I live with the blues

BB King or the neighbors of Snoop

That's why I'm

In the club like f**k it though

They say it's only one life life life

And if you say

I can't live comfortable

I'mma tell you that's a lie lie lie

So while I hold this bottle of Ciroc

With a hand full of a**

Celebrate the very day that I get past

(Through the barbed wire)

We are we are fine

We are we are true

Through the

Through barbed wires

We will will break through

So while I hold this bottle of Ciroc

With a hand full of a**

Celebrate the very day that I get past

(Through the barbed wire)

Have you ever felt like

Like you never get life

Like you never did right

Sort of like a black sheep

Tryna get away

From the World stereotype

Barbed wire got a barricade on your destiny

She desperately in need of some inspiration

See what the people saying

She gon have a baby

Then flee from her education

At the age of 16

Credit card scam schemes

See a scar on her eye

Boyfriend brutality

She will never get by

No how no way

Welfare recipient property of the state

Housing Section 8

Corner store prostitute

The owner bout to prosecute

The niggas tell her that she's cute

Hood rat trashy six baby daddies

And this baby daddy

Is new to the family

Chilling in pajamis waiting on the first

Fast forward spilling drinks on her fur

That's why she

In the club like f**k it though

They say it's only one life life life

And if you say

I can't live comfortable

I'mma tell you that's a lie lie lie

So while she up in VIP

Pouring Merlot in the glass

Celebrate the very day that she get past

(Through the barbed wire)

We are we are fine

We are we are true

Through the

Through barbed wires

We will will break through

So while she up in VIP

Pouring Merlot in the glass

Celebrate the very day that she get past

(Through the barbed wire)

Have you ever felt like

You finally got life

You finally got right

No longer a black sheep

Living off ya dreams

Like Christina uh-Milian

In the front seat of a convertible

Eloping to get married

What a feeling of overcoming the odds

It's like I just hit the lottery my God

There must be a God cause golly

You done made it through the fight

While squabbling Ali

Now ya lifestyles looking up

And you escaped the crooked cops

And you ain't have to kill a ni**a

Just to make a couple bucks

And she ain't have to go

And f**k on everybody for a dollar

Making good decisions

Got an independent business mind

And both of ya'll are steady grindin

Doing it the legal way

Just tryna make a decent

Pay on every second of the day

But they won't give you the credit

Disses out they mouth

You must have joined

The Illuminati just to ball out

In the club like f**k it though

They say it's only one life life life

And if you say

I can't live comfortable

I'mma tell you that's a lie lie lie

So even though you overcame doubt

And ya living ain't bad

Know there's a barbed wire

That's always in your path

(Moving barbed wire)

And everybody say

Cause I won't got cought agian

And I'm here to start the trend

You can't catch me if you try

Disappear into the night

And I'm gone

"So you made it past all the barbed wires "

Just one more left
