I was out here dealing dope
Selling hope
I was out here dealing coke
Feeling broke
I was out here dealing dope
Selling hope
I was out here dealing coke
Feeling broke
I was out here dealing dope
Selling hope
I was out here dealing coke
Feeling broke
I was out here dealing dope
Selling hope
I was out here dealing coke
Feeling broke
F*ck the news
F*ck the hype
F*ck the reporters nigga
F*ck your mother
F*ck 'em all
I'm tired of suffering, its about time I received it all
I'm tired of being shunned
I'm tired of being abandoned
I wonder will you come back around if I purchase me a mansion
These thoughts get to me
Real shit ain't worth the hype
I don't believe a single like
Stop treating me like a prototype
Comparing me to the greats but don't bump my CD
So what the f*ck you see in them that you don't see in me, stop acting like a frenemy
I've been the realist since gameboy
I promise I ain't a game boy
Life is more than smoking dope with your homeboys
Since a jit, I never quit
Stare the devil in the face before
I give em a spit, bitch
They gone forever judge you so
Rick flare them hoes before give them something to lick
That's it
Everybody want to be dealer
But nobody want to be a healer
Everybody want to be leaders
Are the same ones that would just leave us
Seems like nobody believed us
F*ck them
Look how they treat us
Like some animals, acting like cannibals
At the capitol, getting killed for some capital
Like look at us, and look at them
Please tell me whats the difference
Like the immigrants, and colored skin
Judging us for our pigments
Seems like our lives just don't matter
American checks get fatter
Man why no love for no rappers
Why we shaming up all the trappers
We just dealing drugs, cuz we living broke
Ronald Reagan reason we got the coke
All the dope i smoke just find the hope
As the economy going on a downward slope
No one does care for us anymore
Seems like they are closing up all my doors
Why they let him bleed out on the floor?
Prolly will be the next fox news report
Did you catch that
Lamar stated his views on police brutality
With that line in the song
I quote
And we hate the popo
Wanna kill us in the street fosho
Haju
Ah please
Ugh
I don't like it
I mean you know I don't like it
That's why you came to me
I get it that's his right to express himself
Let the free market decide
Personally, it doesn't excite me
Doesn't turn me on
Doesn't interest me
I'm not feeling it
Not helpful with these song lyrics
To say the least not helpful at all
This is why I say that hip-hop has done more
Damage to young African Americans than racism
In recent years
I was out here dealing dope
Selling hope
I was out here dealing coke
Feeling broke
I was out here dealing dope
Selling hope
I was out here dealing coke
Feeling broke
I was out here dealing dope
Selling hope
I was out here dealing coke
Feeling broke
I was out here dealing dope
Selling hope
I was out here dealing coke
Feeling broke
