I am happy to join with you today And what will go down in history As the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation So it seems I'm lost In between exotic cars and fiends Palms hella itchy, baby mama bitchy Dish washer broke cuz them pots too sticky Snap back to the back cause I got that crack And I'm from that city Where even the girls is packing they strap Beats on They don't hear that rap, shit Unless it's Y.G or Problem Then them bitches turn up ASAP like they went to school in Harlem But they know they from Compton Yea they know they from Compton Where we put bass with the head before Dre was with Monster We pulled guns on niggas 'fore we ever play Contra Turned contra into bands and that make them hoes dance so Let that bitch breathe before she take yo kids And you be forced to watch that bitch leave And that's every nigga's situation In a town where them gang signs go up And them bitches going down Life is a but a dream I'm searching for a dream Life is a but a dream Life is a but a dream Life is a but a dream Life is a but a dream Life is a but a dream Life is a but a dream Life is everything but a dream A great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free Niggas robbed 2 Chainz on World Star, I seen these niggas runnin Them ain't yo niggas no more 'cause I got mine's comin You take a nigga jewels and act like you done did something We take a nigga life and act like we ain't did nothing And all of this is at the push of a button I got niggas bustin' simply because they ribs touchin' No we ain't tryna work at Mickey D's Niggas is tryin to put that six on Ds And flip one of them Bentley keys Hood niggas that only wanna be hood rich Stack a hundred thousand in the safe and wife a good bitch Cop a Gucci belt, maybe Louis too Line a Challenger with that Camaro and see what it do Hit toxic 'cause we got a fit and can't wasted it It's hot as fuck but at least we can see these hoes' faces Ask Drama what that shit do Every time he hit the city give him a couple hoes and a pistol 'Cause I, I hold my niggas down I said I, I hold my niggas down Yea I hold my niggas down And the day I go out this is Kendrick's crown No, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream." Life is but a dream Life is but a dream Life is everything but a dream
