Kendrick Lamar, what are you trying to say? What are you trying to accomplish Kendrick Lamar? Kendrick Lamar, what are you trying to say? What are you trying to accomplish Kendrick Lamar?

I think that I finally reached the pinnacle of finding myself as an individual The world is so typical I just wanna be higher than that I used to want to be the messiah of rap Infatuated with becoming a relevant star Trying to say goodbye to the glamorous chains and cars that I never had, but wrote it in my raps to make you mad Vanity, they say that it can damage me So do I really want it? If I didn't, I guess I'm a cool ************* connect That means I'll be fronting, hmm Cooking in a laboratory, hoping I can tell a story that the whole world can feel, like the ones that came before me Knowing that I'm misunderstood So I gotta get my point across like a snitch would And I would never walk in the shadow that never was really there or try to fill the shoes of an invisible pair And Dame said he proud of my newfound honesty and all I could say is, will the radio care? Yeah, or should I say no? Or should I just stop and come with a whole new approach? You heard my Hip Hop when I was sixteen years old Well that was me then, now I'm an adult Twenty-two like the smallest of guns that you know, most determined but with the smallest of funds to show, but I'm not worried My talent should take me places I've never been The world should turn soon as my record spin I wanna be the highest, on top of all the bull*************t The negative you bring, the stress, the violence The capital punishment, the loud police sirens Too focussed, one word, righteous And this is Kendrick Lamar and soon y'all know cloud nine y'all And that means I wanna be the highest Too focussed, one word （righteous） Mm, yeah That means I wanna be the highest Too focussed, one word
