The last verse in I and the way the beat breaks down is so ****** addictive.
I love the album version of "i". I think that song sounds better when performed live and that addition verse at the end is incredible. An argument breaks out, Kendrick defuses it with that verse and the crowd grows more and more silent as Kendrick continues. It's awesome.
"I promised Dave I'd never use the phrase "**** ******"
He said "think about what you saying: '**** niggas'"
No better than Samuel on D'Jango
No better than a white man with slave boats
Sound like I needed some soul searching
My pops gave me some game in real person
Retrace my steps on what they never taught me
Did my home work fast before government caught me
So I'ma dedicate this one verse to Oprah
On how the infamous, sensitive N-word control us
So many artist gave her an explanation to hold us
Well this is my explanation straight from Ethiopia
N-E-G-U-S definition: royalty; King royalty - wait listen
N-E-G-U-S description: Black emperor, King, ruler, now let me finish
The history books overlooked the word and hide it
America tried to make it to a house divided
The homies don't recognize we be using it wrong
So I'ma break it down and put my game in the song
N-E-G-U-S, say it with me
Or say no more. Black stars can come and get me
Take it from Oprah Winfrey, tell her she right on time
Kendrick Lamar, by far, realest Negus alive"
Retour en haut
