Hood Politics (Explicit)

Hood Politics (Explicit) - Kendrick Lamar (肯德里克·拉馬爾)

K dot pick up the phone ni**a Every time I call

It's going to voice mail

Don't tell me they got you on some weirdo rap sh*t

Ni**a No socks and skinny jeans and sh*t

Call me on Shaniqua's phone

I been A-1 since day one you n***as boo boo

Your home boy your block that you're from boo boo

Lil hoes you went to school with boo boo

Baby mama and your new b**ch boo boo

We was in the hood 14 with the deuce deuce

14 years later going hard like we used to on the dead homies

On the dead homies

I don't give a f**k about no politics in rap my ni**a

My lil homie Stunna Deuce ain't never comin' back my ni**a

So you better go hard every time you jump on wax my ni**a

F**k what they talkin' bout your sh*t is where its at my ni**a

Came in this game you stuck your fangs in this game

You wore no chain in this game your hood your name in this game

Now you double up time to bubble up the bread and huddle up

Stickin' to the scripts now here if them benjamin's go cuddle up

Skip hop drip drop flip flop with the white tube sock

It goes "Sherm Sticks burn this"

Thats what the product smell like when the chemicals mix

50 ni**a salute out the Compton zoo with the extras

El Cos Monte Carlos Road Kings and dressers

Rip Ridaz P-Funkers Mexicans they f**k with you

Asians they f**k with you nobody can f**k with you

I been A-1 since day one you n***as boo boo

Your home boy your block that you're from boo boo

Lil hoes you went to school with boo boo

Baby mama and your new b**ch boo boo

We was in the hood 14 with the deuce deuce

14 years later going hard like we used to on the dead homies

On the dead homies

Hopped out the caddy just got my d**k sucked

The little homies called they said "The enemies done cliqued up"

Oh yeah Puto want to squabble with mi barrio

Oh yeah Tell 'em they can run it for the cardio

Oh yeah Everythin' is everythin' it's scandalous

Slow motion for the ambulance the project filled with cameras

The LAPD gamblin' scramblin' football numbers slanderin'

N***as name on paper you snitched all summer

Streets don't fail me now

They tell me it's a new gang in town

From Compton to Congress

Set trippin' all around

Ain't nothin' new but a flow of new DemoCrips and ReBloodlicans

Red state versus a blue state which one you governin'

They give us g*ns and d**gs call us thugs

Make it they promise to f**k with you

No condom they f**k with you

Obama say "What it do "

Obama say "What it do "

Obama say "What it do "

I been A-1 since day one you n***as boo boo

Your home boy your block that you're from boo boo

Lil hoes you went to school with boo boo

Baby mama and your new b**ch boo boo

We was in the hood 14 with the deuce deuce

14 years later going hard like we used to on the dead homies

On the dead homies

Everybody want to talk about who this and who that

Who the realest and who wack or who white or who black

Critics want to mention that they miss when hip hop was rappin'

Motherf**ker if you did then Killer Mike'd be platinum

Y'all priorities f**ked up put energy in wrong sh*t

Hennessy and Crown Vic my memory been gone since

Don't ask about no camera back at award shows

No don't ask about my b**ch no don't ask about my foes

'Less you askin' me about power yeah I got a lot of it

I'm the only ni**a next to Snoop that can push the button

Had the Coast on standby

K Dot what up I heard they opened up Pandora's box

I box 'em all in by a landslide

Nah homie we too sensitive it spill out to the streets

I make the call and get the coast involved then history repeats

But I resolved inside that private hall while sitting down with Jay

He said "it's funny how one verse could f**k up the game"

I been A-1 since day one you n***as boo boo

I remember you was conflicted

Misusing your influence

Sometimes I did the same

Abusing my power full of resentment

Resentment that turned into a deep depression

Found myself screaming in a hotel room

I didn't want to self-destruct

The evils of Lucy was all around me

So I went running for answers

Until I came home

But that didn't stop survivors guilt

Going back and forth

Trying to convince my self the stripes I earned

Or maybe how A-1 my foundation was

But while my loved ones was fighting

A continuous war back in the city

I was entering a new one
