D J.Y.A, Kendrick Lamar - Cities - Interlude lyrics

Recognize my life, ridicule my fight
Give me fuel for the fire burnin'
When I yearn these lights
In the midst of the hieroglyphs
My fingertips start to write
Get familiar with Cartwright
‘cause I want that shot
I'm a raging bull when the needle drops
For the record, I'ma wreck it
Even if my record don't pop
I'ma tie a knot on a downtown buildin'
Let it tow behind me
Tell 'em they can find me
In the dark with the ghetto children
Look at my heart, nigga, fuck your feelings
This is me
Kendrick, and I wear pendant on my shoulder
Soldier, like a lieutenant
And the coupe tinted, got pulled over
Johnny always lock a nigga down
Knowin' damn well we don't wanna see the
Box like Manny Pacquiao
Little nigga Mayweather size
Ride like Pac in his prime Thug
Life is now on radar
'Til the federal come through and raid ours
Reminiscin' when the LA raiders
Was in my home
Snapback fitted on my uncle's dome
And I don't condone dickridin'
I'm addicted to Westsidin'
Livin' in a city where the skinny niggas die
And the semi bullets fly
But it turned me to a lion
Tryin', try-tryn', tryn'
