Poe Mans Dreams

[Hook: Kendrick Lamar] Smoke good, eat good, live good Smoke good, eat good, live good Smoke good, eat good, live good Smoke good, eat good, live good [Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar] I used to want to see the penitentiary, way after elementary Thought it was cool to look the judge in the face when he sentenced me Since my uncles was institutionalized My intuition had said I was suited for family ties My momma is stressin', my daddy tired I need me a weapon, these niggas ride Every minute, hour, and second, ministers tried to save me How I'm gon' listen when I don't even hear God? Heaven or Hell, base it all on my instincts My hands dirty, you worried 'bout mud in your sink You like to mistake a street nigga for real nigga The same nigga that kill with ya will squeal with ya I deal with ya like my son, stare at the sun And you'll be looking in my eyes, homie Stand for something or fall for anything And you working with two left feet at the skating rink But anyway, this for my niggas Uncles, 23 hours sending me pictures I want you to know that I'm so determined to blow That you hear the music I wrote Hope it get you off Death Row You came home to a pocket full of stones A Metro PC phone, then you went back in So when I touch the pen, the pen is in my view I'ma get it right, just so you...

We out here rotating under the five P's Proper preparation prevents poor performance You know what I'm talking 'bout? Doing my thing 'Cause I'm rotating with my speakers thumping From the Windy City streets all the way out here To the streets of Compton, know what I'm talking 'bout? Church is definitely on the move And we gonna continue to hustle and grow and develop by far As I rotate with my true player partner By the name of Kendrick Lamar, you know what I'm talking 'bout? This is the ism, this is the vision, you know what I'm talking 'bout? You gotta get up off your ass and get it, man That's the only way your pockets gonna expand I tell you everyday, you know what I'm talking 'bout? Apply yourself to supply your wealth Only limitations you'll ever have are those that you place upon yo'self Church is definitely on the move, you know what I'm talking 'bout? Exercise your ism, and don't depend on no one else Cathedral, church, "ism"
