    作曲 : Lamar, Kendrick
    The hardest thing for me to do
    Is to get you, to know me, within sixteen bars
    That's the hardest thing
    Who is K. Dot? A young nigga from Compton
    On the curb writing raps next to a gunshot
    On the corners where the gangsters and the killers dwell
    The fraudulent tender scars that get unveiled
    Everyone I knew was either Crip or Piru
    Cousins in elementary, relatives in high school
    With that being said, each one of their rivals
    Was aiming something at my head, I needed survival
    Got jumped, got jacked, shot at, shot back
    And I don't even push a line, I'm just tryna push these rhymes
    In the midst of staying neutral and discrete
    My momma said you're judged by the company you keep
    But what you can consider, that if it goes down
    They'll kill you if you kill me, it gets deep nigga
    So if you ask what I'm doing
    I'm tryna duck the influence of my city that's brewing, real talk, and
    This is why they **** with me (real talk nigga, believe it)
    This is why they **** with me (do what I do, ya know?)
    I'm no gangster, no killer, I'm just your average Joe (know that)
    But one thing you should consider, I'm the realest you know
    I was walking from Centennial
    When an unidentified vehicle rolled up, and I was like "hol' up"
    "Where you from?" I don't bang
    "Where you stay?" Westside, that's a Piru gang to be exact
    Well aware they had blue across they hat
    Dropped backpack and ran inside of the cul-de-sac
    Shots rang out, hoping to God I wasn't wet
    Crossed across Rosecrans and ran inside of the yet
    Chirped the homies on the I-95, they said they already knew
    What happened, and meet 'em outside the garage
    Never seen that many guns in my life
    I was paranoid like a fiend in the night, but needed revenge
    Grabbed the nine-ball, opened up the door, then got in
    Somebody said, "fall back, we gon' make these niggas suffer
    You my brother like a frat, and that's just to remind you"
    Thought about that so long I had failed my finals, ****, but
    This is why they **** with me (I told you, nigga)
    This is why they **** with me (you fake nigga)
    I'm no gangster, no killer, I'm just your average Joe (you fake)
    But one thing you should consider, I'm the realest you know
    I don't do black music, I don't do white music
    I do everyday life music
    Give 'em cuts like a nigga pierced a knife through it
    You say you through, but I've been through it, now that's cold
    And this is for my county building children
    In Hub City on hubcaps, no power-steering
    I use perseverance in this mad city
    Where the niggas drink Remy and hold semis for cutthroats
    Bernie Mac died, it's no joke
    Don't ask why if you don't know about these killers and thieves
    Seven grams of weed, you smoke that, but I'm high off life
    I could fall out the sky like twice
    And land in the land of the AKs
    And the minivans where the fan never on
    Cause it's hotter than a lunatic's underarms in a straitjacket
    In other words, we get it cracking, but I keep it cool, you know?
    This is why they **** with me (haha)
    This is why they **** with me (real talk)
    I'm no gangster, no killer, I'm just your average Joe (come on)
    But one thing you should consider, I'm the realest you know
    So there you have it
    But I'mma leave you with this
    An O.G. once told me
    A real gangster is either dead or in jail
    Or behind the scenes getting real money
    I'm gone
