Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul - Kendrick Lamar’s Interlude lyrics

24 7, 365, motherfucker
I'm still right on time
Oh, you thought you had me all figured out?
Take it from the horse’s mouth
You'll never understand me
I told you my Plan B is to win
Your hearts before we win a Grammy
These days, ain't shit changed
Different toilet, same shit
And I drank a whole gallon of laxatives by
Accident just to shit on you has-beens
Had it been for my past tense
I wouldn't be rapping
See, these streets made me
Broke me down, built me up, drove me crazy
Made me hungry, made you hate me
But fuck love
It don't make dollars, it don't make sense
Nigga by the way, that's DJ Quik, nigga
Respect it or check it
These days, I'm a little more focused
‘Cause y'all cracked the door and
I kicked it open
Yellin' "Get the fuck down or I will shoot
I told you not to motherfuckin' move"
Be another example
I'll take the whole industry hostage
If I have to i'll sabotage this game
A good kid? yeah
That's only in my mama's eyes
I seen a dead body at five
And that shit made me traumatized
So these days
A little blood on my hands ain't nothing
Compared to hopping out a minivan
With a mini 223 and the homie TuTu
And two more white tees on
Oh, nobody got time for that
These days, it's only time for rap
So Herbert Anthony Stevens
You make or break bread before we break even
Before they broke our records
We broke records and wrote pieces of history
So these days? These accolades
That's meant for we?
It's only truth that this shit
Was meant to be tDE

Life's still a traffic jam
(Life is still a traffic jam)
Life's still a traffic jam
(Life is still a traffic jam)
Life's still a traffic jam
(Life is still a traffic jam)
Life's still a traffic jam (Ready to go)
Life's still a traffic jam
(Still ready to go)
Life's still a traffic jam
(Still ready to go)
Life's still a traffic jam
Life's still a traffic jam

Shit, what more did you expect? HiiiPower
For the most part, we go hard for the respect
I'm obviously ominous to my competition
And if I ain't better than
Kendrick, then nobody is, then
We shared our life with you
Shared our light with you even
In the darkest of hours
In hopes that one day, just maybe
One day the world'll be ours
Ha, and now they look up to us like towers
For rhymin’ like we had super powers
They should've never let us in these offices
Knowing good and goddamn well
How well we've been ducking officers
Laughing at the scraps they offered
Us in the past and now we toast champagne to
The thirst we never had
I had my ups and downs
But I always left right
Rest in peace Alori Joh, Top Dawg for life
And oh yeah, Soul yeah
Ayo, Denzel, we took a minute but
We did it, my nigga, for real
At minimum, we did it bigger, my nigga yeah
Shout out JaVonte, the velvet vocalist
Uh, I’mma just get up outta
Here and let Terrace
Martin finish having sex with
The saxophone and shit i’m gone

I watch that fire that we're
Gathered around and see that
It burns similar to the fire
That is inside you
