Cartoon & Cereal Lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

1 Now I was raised in a sandbox, next to you and her

2 You was holding the handgun, she was giving birth

3 To a baby boy to be just like you, I wonder what that's worth

4 I wonder if you ever knew you was a role model to me first

5 The next day I woke up in the morning, seen you on the news

6 Looked in the mirror, then realized that I had something to prove

7 You told me "Don't be like me, just finish watching cartoons"

8 Which is funny now cuz all I see is Wile E. Coyotes in the room

9 And ironic

10 And ironic

11 And ironic

12 And ironic

13 That's ironic

14 I run it

15 That's ironic

16 I run it

17 Salt all in my wounds

18 Hear my tears all in my tunes

19 Let my life loose in this booth

20 Just for you, muthafucka, hope yall amused!

21 This shit make a nigga just wanna write

22 Reminisce when I had the morning appetite

23 Apple Jacks attack then I hit the TV Guide

24 Animaniacs the only thing that could give me peace of mind

25 I'm a maniac

26 Tell a story that I never grow to twenty-five

27 Not to worry, every warrior will become a

28 That's a covenant I put on every tribe

29 Aint nobody gon tie your shoe

30 Nobody gon abide by your rule

31 Nobody want your gun

32 How come your tongue say killer then kill my mood

33 Light speed living in the world you know

34 Lit a whole leaf, feeling like a live wire

35 Bet I put some new tires on a lightning bolt

36 Til I wreck into a pole, like a right to vote

37 I'm from the bottom of the jungle

38 Living in the bottom of the food chain

39 When you get a new chain, nigga take it from you

40 A new name, more stripes, then you and zebra look alike

41 Hope another homicide don't numb you

42 Ain't nothing do things we will never learn soon

43 In the era where we wanna earn soon

44 That's an error

45 You can smell it in the air

46 Everybody really doomed!

47 That's why I'm backdoor'n you muhfuckas

48 All yall can suck my dick

49 All them days at the county building

50 I'm about to make my mama rich

51 Cartoons and (Cereal)

52 I aint felt this (Good Since)

53 Scrooge McDuck (Here We Go)

54 Elementary hood shit

55 Now I was raised in a sandbox, next to you and her

56 You was holding the handgun, she was giving birth

57 To a baby boy to be just like you, I wonder what that's worth

58 I wonder if you ever knew you was a role model to me first

59 The next day I woke up in the morning, seen you on the news

60 Looked in the mirror, then realized that I had something to prove

61 You told me "Don't be like me, just finish watching cartoons"

62 Which is funny now cuz all I see is Wile E. Coyotes in the room

74 Just for you, muthafucka, hope yall amused!

75 This shit make a nigga just wanna shit on

76 Everybody even with a pot to piss in

77 I'm a aim sloppy at a loud mouth, Discharge!

78 Dismiss any business of yours

79 Discounts never did amount to a check

80 That your ass couldn't cash when the shit bounce

81 Everything dismounts, niggas gon flip that card

82 AKs for the whole hood

83 House lick went down perfect

84 Two shots to the head, he deserved it

85 I overheard it in my bed with a bowl and remote control

86 Darkwing Duck, lost service

87 Mama said i better duck, she's nervous

88 Drama all up in the cut, hit the curtains

89 I mean don't intervene with no gun machine

90 If the block stay jerkin, the feds stay lurkin'

91 Emergin' on everybody corner (Dash For It)

92 Get a toe tag when you play tag with the task of a new (Task Force)

93 Everybody wanna know my life

94 How did I make it (Past Yours)

95 Well I'm a tell you like this

96 I been runnin' this shit since I (Asked For...)

97 Cartoons and Cereal

98 Now I was raised in a sandbox, next to you and her

99 You was holding the handgun, she was giving birth

100 To a baby boy to be just like you, I wonder what that's worth

101 I wonder if you ever knew you was a role model to me first

102 The next day I woke up in the morning, seen you on the news

103 Looked in the mirror, then realized that I had something to prove

104 You told me "Don't be like me, just finish watching cartoons"

114 Salt all in my wounds

115 Hear my tears all in my tunes

116 Let my life loose in this booth

117 Just for you, muthafucka, hope yall amused!

118 I did wrong, karma came

119 Crackers gave me, ball and chain

120 Friends, enemies, all the same

121 State, Fed, both can hang

122 Nobody can mute me

123 But I never said nobody can't shoot me

124 Just another stat to the white folk

125 Still whip work to the white yolk, Absolutely!

126 Every day feel like the one before

127 Hunt the money, don't hunt the ho

128 If you do what you always done

129 Then you get what you always got, you number fools!

130 I ain't seen the back of my eyelids

131 For about the past 72 hours

132 Hand on my heart, face to the hood

133 I pledge every word you ever heard was honest

134 Yea this me, no mic, no cameras, no lights, just pain

135 Mama how much trauma can I sustain?

136 Dirty money come with lots of stains

137 Road to riches come with lots of lanes

138 Just another player with lots of game

139 Never had shit got lots to gain

140 Just another player with lots of game

141 Never had shit got lots to gain
