Kendrick Lamar - Another Nigga (To Pimp a Butterfly) lyrics

[Kendrick Lamar - Another Nigga To Pimp a Butterfly lyrics]

I remember you was conflicted
Misusing your influence
Sometimes I did the same
Abusing my power, full of resentment
Resentment that turned into a deep depression
Found myself screaming in the hotel room
I didn’t wanna self destruct
The evils of Lucy was all around me
So I went running for answers
Until I came home
But that didn’t stop survivor’s guilt
Going back and forth trying to convince
Myself the stripes I earned
Or maybe how A-1 my foundation was
But while my loved ones was fighting the
Continuous war back in the city
I was entering a new one
A war that was based
On apartheid and discrimination
Made me wanna go back to the city
And tell the homies what I learned
The word was respect
Just because you wore a different
Gang color than mine's
Doesn’t mean I can’t respect you
As a black man
Forgetting all the pain and hurt we
Caused each other in these streets
If I respect you
We unify and stop the enemy from killing us
But I don’t know, I’m no mortal man
Maybe I’m just another nigga
