FEAR. (Clean) - Kendrick Lamar (肯德里克·拉馬爾)

Lyrics by：Alan Maman/Dale Warren/Kendrick Lamar

Composed by：Alan Maman/Dale Warren/Kendrick Lamar

Dale Warren：

Poverty's paradise

I don't think I could find a way to make it on this earth

I've been hungry all my life

Carl Duckworth：

What's up family

Yeah it's your cousin Carl man just givin' you a call man

I know you been havin' a lot on yo' mind lately

And I know you feel like you know

People ain't been prayin' for you

But you have to understand this man

That we are a cursed people Deuteronomy 28:28 says

"The Lord shall smite thee with madness

And blindness and astonishment of heart"

See family that's why you feel like you feel

Like you got a chip on your shoulder

Until you follow His commandments you gonna feel that way

Charles Edward Sydney Isom Jr./Kendrick Lamar：

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 won't you burn this muh'f**ka

I don't think I could find a way to make it on this earth

Akcuf'hum siht nrub uoy t'now erom on si htraE

Reffus attog I od doG yhw doG yhW

Reffus attog I od doG yhw doG yhW

Kendrick Lamar：

I beat yo' a*s keep talkin' back

I beat yo' a*s who bought you that

You stole it I beat yo' a*s if you say that game is broken

I beat yo' a*s if you jump on my couch

I beat yo' a*s if you walk in this house

With tears in your eyes runnin' from Poo Poo and Prentice

Go back outside I beat yo' a*s lil' n***a

That homework better be finished I beat yo' a*s

Your 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*s you better not run to your father

I beat yo' a*s you know my patience runnin' thin

I got buku payments to make

County building's on my a*s tryna take my food stamps away

I beat yo' a*s if you tell them social workers he live here

I beat yo' a*s if I beat yo' a*s twice and you still here

Seven years old think you run this house by yourself

N***a you gon' fear me if you don't fear no one else

If I could smoke fear away I'd roll that mothaf**ker up

And then I'd take two puffs

I'm high now

Huh

I'm high now

Huh

I'm high now

Huh

I'm high now

Huh

Life's a b***h pull them panties to the side now

Pull them panties to the side now

I don't think I could 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***hes

I'll prolly die from witnesses leavin' me falsed 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 defuse two homies arguin'

I'll prolly die 'cause 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**ker up

And then I'd take two puffs

I've been hungry all my life

I'm high now

Huh

I'm high now

Huh

I'm high now

Huh

I'm high now

Huh

Life's a b***h pull them panties to the side now

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 s**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

D**n

Bēkon：

God d**n you God d**n me

God d**n us God d**n we

God d**n us all

Carl Duckworth：

Verse 2 says "You only have I known of all the families of the Earth

Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities"

So until we come back to these commandments

Until you come back to these commandments

We gonna feel this way we gonna be under this curse

Because He said He's gonna punish us

The so-called Blacks Hispanics and Native American Indians

Are the true children of Israel

We are the Israelites according to the Bible

The children of Israel

He's gonna punish us for our iniquities for our disobedience

Because we chose to follow other gods

That man chastens his son so the Lord thy God chasten thee

So just like you chasten your own son He's gonna chasten you

Because He loves you so that's why we get chastised

That's why we're in the position that we're in

Until we come back to these laws statutes and commandments

And do what the Lord says these curses is gonna be upon us

We gonna be at a lower state in this life that we live

Here in today in the United States of America

I love you family and I pray for you

God bless you

Shalom
