Kendrick Lamar - HiiiPoWeR lyrics

Everybody put three fingers in the air
The sky is falling, the wind is calling
Stand for something or die in the morning
Section80, HiiiPoWeR

Visions of Martin Luther staring at me
Malcolm X put a hex on my future
Someone catch me
I'm falling victim to a revolutionary song
The Serengeti's clone
Back to put you backstabbers back
On your spinal bone
You slipped your disc when I slid you my disc
You wanted to diss, but jumped on my dick
Grown men never should bite their tongue
Unless you eatin' pussy that smell
Like it's a stale plum
I got my finger on the motherfuckin' pistol
Aimin' it at a pig
Charlotte's web is gonna miss you
My issue isn't televised and you


Ain't gotta tell the wise
How to stay on beat
Because our life's an instrumental
This is physical and mental
I won't sugarcoat it
You'd die from diabetes if these
Other niggas wrote it
And everything on TV just
A figment of imagination
I don't want a plastic nation
Dread that like a Haitian
While you motherfuckers waiting
I be off the slave ship
Building pyramids, writing my own hieroglyphs

Just call the shit HiiiPoWeR
Nigga, nothing less than HiiiPoWeR
Five-star dishes, food for thought, bitches
I mean this shit is
Huey Newton going stupid
You can't resist his hiiiPoWeR
Throw your hands up for HiiiPoWeR

Visions of Martin Luther staring at me
If I see it how he seen it
That would make my parents happy
Sorry, mama, I can't turn the other cheek
They wanna knock me off the edge
Like a fuckin' widow's peak, uh
And she always told me pray for the weak, uh
Them demons got me, I ain't
Prayed in some weeks, uh
Dear Lord, come save me
The devil's working hard
He probably clockin' double shifts on
All of his jobs
Frightenin', so fuckin' frightenin'
Enough to drive a man insane
I need a license to kill
I'm standing on a field full of land mines
Doin' the moonwalk, hopin' I blow up in time
'Cause 2012 might not be a fuckin' legend
Tryna be a fuckin' legend, the man of mankind
Who said a Black man in the Illuminati?
Last time I checked
That was the biggest racist party
So get up off that slave ship
Build your own pyramids
Write your own hieroglyphs

Just call the shit HiiiPoWeR
Nigga, nothing less than HiiiPoWeR
Five-star dishes, food for thought, bitches
I mean this shit is
Bobby Seale makin' meals
You can't resist his hiiiPoWeR
Throw your hands up for HiiiPoWeR

Every day
We fight the system just to make our way
We been down for too long, but that's alright
We was built to be strong
'cause it's our life, na na na
Every day, we fight the system
We fight the system
We fight the system (Never like the system)
We been down for too
Long, but that's alright, na na na

Who said a Black man in the Illuminati?
Last time I checked
That was the biggest racist party
Last time I checked
We was racin' with Marcus Garvey
On the freeway to Africa 'til I wreck my Audi
And I want everybody to view my autopsy
So you can see exactly where
The government had shot me
No conspiracy, my fate is inevitable
They play musical chairs once
I'm on that pedestal
Frightenin', so fuckin' frightenin'
Enough to drive a man insane, a woman insane
The reason Lauryn Hill don't sing
Or Kurt Cobain
Loaded that clip and then said bang
The drama it bring is crazy
Product of the late '80s
Tryna stay above water
That's why we shun the Navy
Pull your guns and play me, let's set it off
'Cause a riot, throw a Molotov
Somebody told me them pirates had got lost
'Cause we been off them slave ships
Got our own pyramids
Write our own hieroglyphs

Just call the shit HiiiPoWeR
Yeah, nothing less than HiiiPoWeR
Five-star dishes, food for thought, bitches
I mean this shit is
Fred Hampton on your campus
You can't resist his hiiiPoWeR
Throw your hands up for HiiiPoWeR

Thug life thug life
