untitled 08 | 09.06.2014. (Explicit) - Kendrick Lamar

Lyrics by：Kendrick Lamar

Composed by：Kendrick Lamar

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

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 thanks giving 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

Way to me

Now 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

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 ***** 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

******* 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 **** 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

Broke home baby

You know the poverty stricken

The little broke boy and babies

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 nigga you ****** up

You're banking on good luck

You wishing for miracles

You never been through ****

You're crying hysterical

You settle for everything

Complain about everything

You say you sold crack

My world amphetamine

Your projects ain't ****

I live in a hut *****

I'm living to keep warm

You living to pay rent

I paid my way through by waiting on Allah

You played your way through

By living in sci-fi

Bull****ting 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 **** to me

***** 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 long

That's when you go wrong

You selfish ************

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
