Ab-Souls Outro Lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

1 What's your life about? Enlighten me

2 Is you gon' live on your knees or die on your feet?

3 There's fire in the street, fire in the swisher

4 Fire in between the two legs of your lil' sister

5 Just get a sip of this elixir

6 Before they crop us out the picture

7 I've never seen a crop circle

8 But I've cops circle the block, I puff squares

9 But I swear one day I'ma stop, my nerves itch

10 On the brink of my career

11 While my peers struggle for employment

12 Can you hear these screams?

13 (Uncle Sam ain't no killing me)

14 One, two, three, four grams and a fifth of Hennessy

15 A bad bitch, fuck the penitentiary

16 Section eighties babies, blame Ronald Reagan

17 We raising hell

18 Lord forbid, the homie got wet, so we tryna soak it in

19 The president is black, but you can't vote for skin

20 You vote for the better man

21 Come to our show, you can see the diversity

22 Unify the people, they gon' peep it universally

23 We might not change the world, but we gon' manipulate it

24 I hope you participating

25 Aiyo Dot, won't you let these cats know?

26 We knew we'd be here like back in '04

27 Started HiiiPoWeR because our generation needed a generator

28 And the system made to disintegrate us

29 And all we do is assist 'em

30 We're not victors, we're victims

31 The bigger picture isn't developed yet

32 Like, what if kids were celibate?

33 Or what is Tammy came across a real man

34 Who didn't play games like children?

35 My nigga cheated on his girlfriend

36 With his girlfriend's girlfriend, let the world end

37 And everybody tripping off twenty-twelve

38 And the extraterrestrial presence as well

39 (Odd Future's aight)

40 But our future's not

41 That martial law shit drop, we gon' all get got

42 So keep that question mark on your face

43 Eat your fast food, use your fluoride toothpaste

44 Hide your feelings from the public, work your lil' nine-to-five

45 Don't forget to pay your tithes, and thank God you alive

46 (HiiiPoWeR)

47 And on another note

48 We focused like the Hubble Telescope, 'Soul

49 Life is a traffic jam

50 (Life is a traffic jam)

51 Life is a traffic jam

52 Life is a traffic jam

53 Life is a traffic jam

54 Life is a traffic jam

55 (Ready to go)

56 Life is a traffic jam

57 (Ready to go)

58 Life is a traffic jam

59 (Ready to go)

60 Life is a traffic jam

61 Life is a traffic jam

62 I wrote this because I was ordered to

63 People say I speak for generation Y, why lie? I do

64 Section eighty, your son will play me if radio won't

65 Daughters that just turned one to twenty-one

66 Listen to Kendrick for instance

67 What's your life about? Enlighten me

68 Is you gon' live on your knees or die on your feet?

69 Take out that student loan and pay off your college degree

70 And do exactly what you see on TV

71 True story

72 Hmm, can you repeat that for me, 'Soul?

73 What's your life about? Enlighten me

74 Is you gon' live on your knees or die on your feet?

75 Is you gon' plead the fifth or sound the horn?

76 The time is now my child, come on

77 See a lot of y'all don't understand Kendrick Lamar

78 Because you wonder how I could talk about money

79 Hoes, clothes, God and history, all in the same sentence

80 You know what all them things have in common?

81 Only half of the truth if you tell it

82 See I spent twenty three years on this earth searching for answers

83 Till one day I realized I had to come up with my own

84 I'm not on the outside looking in, I'm not on inside looking out

85 I'm in the dead fucking center looking around

86 You ever seen a newborn baby kill a grown man?

87 That's an analogy for the way the world make me react

88 My innocence been dead

89 So the next time I talk about money

90 Hoes, clothes, God and history, all in the same sentence

91 Just know I meant it, and you felt it

92 'Cause you too are searching for answers

93 I'm not the next pop star, I'm not the next socially aware rapper

94 I am a human motherfucking being over dope ass instrumentation

95 Kendrick Lamar, now fuck 'em up, Terrace

96 ('Soul)

97 I watch this fire that we're gathered around

98 And see that it burns similar to the fire that burns inside you

99 Section eighty, section eighty, babies

100 A generation of bliss and disobedience

101 No they can't control us, no they can't control you

102 No they can't control us, but we control each other

103 We build our own world

104 If you don't leave with nothing else tonight

105 You will leave with knowing yourself

106 You will leave knowing you represent

107 Something that's bigger than all of us, or our family

108 Heart, honor and represent

109 This is you, this is me, and we are HiiiPoWeR
