untitled 08 l 09.06.2014. Lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

1 Why so sad

2 Walking around with them blue faces

3 She said I’m down on my luck

4 And it’s something I gotta have

5 Blue faces

6 I hit the bank today and told them color me bad

7 Blue faces

8 Get that new money, and it’s breaking me down, honey

9 Two tears in the bucket I cry with you

10 But I could never lie with you

11 I could never afford not to afford

12 I could never put my plans to the side with you

13 I could never see a red light

14 Like a deer with a headlight

15 I freeze up when I re-up

16 See, I barely have patience

17 And you're relating

18 Only the moment to complete us

19 Why you hate to work for it

20 The reason I never went to work for it

21 See a nine to five was so jive turkey

22 But when Thanksgiving came, that check didn’t hurt me

23 You plead the fifth

24 I read the fifth amendment

25 We both criminals with bad intentions

26 They say time heals all

27 But if I can shortcut

28 My success, Corvettes by tomorrow

29 Now why you so sad

30 Walking around with them blue faces

31 She said I’m down on my luck

32 And it’s something I gotta have

33 Blue faces

34 I hit the bank today and told them color me bad

35 Blue faces

36 Get that new money, and it’s breaking me down, honey

37 My home girl got a credit card scam

38 She got a scholarship to college, but she don’t give a damn

39 Intuition she got a broke bitch wishin'

40 She tell me this on the phone with the noodles in the pan

41 I know you, woman, I console you, woman

42 You feel like the universe owe you, woman

43 Oh the anticipation of hoping you could make it

44 Bitches don't prosper chasing education

45 But you're talented, and can't handle it

46 And your homegirls can't be your manager

47 Three sixty-five times four plus more

48 If you can't get it right, tell me, do you got the stamina

49 But shit, ain't no money like fast money

50 Even today I'm considered a crash dummy

51 A rapper chasing stardom, how can I fast forward

52 My accolades better than all them

53 Why you so sad

54 Walking around with them blue faces

55 She said I’m down on my luck

56 And it’s something I gotta have

57 Blue faces

58 I hit the bank today and told them color me bad

59 Blue faces

60 Get that new money, and it’s breaking me down, honey

61 I wrote this song looking at a broke home baby (broke home baby)

62 You know the poverty stricken, the little broke boy and babies

63 Somebody yell, “Kendrick, American, they sho’ is crazy”

64 And I said “why”

65 Then he looked me in the eye

66 And said, “Nigga, you fucked up

67 You’re banking on good luck

68 You wishing for miracles

69 You never been through shit

70 You’re crying hysterical

71 You settle for everything, complain about everything

72 You say you sold crack, my world amphetamine

73 Your projects ain’t shit, I live in a hut, bitch

74 I'm living to keep warm, you living to pay rent

75 I prayed my way through by waiting on Allah

76 You played your way through by living in sci-fi

77 Bullshitting yourself, you talking to strangers

78 Same thing goes for the ones you came with

79 When y'all came on the boat looking for hope

80 And all you can say is that you’re looking for dope

81 These days ain’t no compromise

82 And your pain ain’t mines half the time

83 A brand new excuse ain’t nothing to me

84 Bitch, I made my moves with shackled feet

85 Cape Town”

86 In today's day and age we practice the self-pity of taking the easy way out

87 You wait on them, him and her

88 But when a blessing takes too long, that's when you go wrong

89 You selfish motherfucker

90 Why so sad

91 Walking around with them blue faces

92 She said I’m down on my luck

93 And it’s something I gotta have

94 Blue faces

95 I hit the bank today and told them color me bad

96 Blue faces

97 Get that new money, and it’s breaking me down, honey

98 Pimp pimp (hooray)
