Kendrick Lamar - Nickerson Gardens Freestyle lyrics

I don't need the hype
They call me- fuck it- I
Don't need no introduction
No ad-libing my name 100 times for nothing
You already know it's K dot, city of Compton
Analogy is like Biggie and Bed Stuy
Oakland and 2Pac i'm more focused
I'm nothing like you new guys
Struggling over a few lines thinking you hot
Cause your homey said you you was a few times
Which is too many times
They lying to you, they telling a lie
The only time I lie in the booth
Is when I sleep in it record 24 hrs
You niggas better get your bars up
I bench press this rap stuff
Got it locked like handcuffs
I threw away the key, my cool is on
She love my A c
My juice is on
And I wish one of y'all try to rob me


I shoot, and have you laying between the
Sheets with the eyes leased (Isleys)
I push the coupe like a high speed
The helicopters come and
Realize that nothing's
Behind me is behind me your honor
I fuck over this beat with no condom
This ain't rap it's really a porno
Re-wind me back
Finally the finest of 'em all is back
To define the laws of crack, y'all don't obey
Y'all ain't nice, y'all just OK
You're nothing more than a little John phrase
I'm Mike Jordan in his prime
Modern day Issac Hayes theme song to Shaft
Equivalent to the theme song to your career
Study my craft, you ignorant
I do it without a pen and pad
Just inspiration: something you never had
If my pockets is something you trying to grab
I pull out the rocket and
Peel you back like scab
You old news, you old dudes get out of my way
Let the young boy come through
Don't mention my age
I'm on a mission for pay
And you astronaut niggas just
Crowding my space you not in my atmosphere
You can act like you here
But actually you ain't accurate fucking
With the music biz
The industry like, "Fuck it
Let the music be his" no theme park
I'm not trying to amuse you kids
Small shark, jaws is here, jump in the water
Do he really fuck with President Carter?
My reply is that I can't
Stay away from the bosses
Got the bidding war popping like an auction
5 or 10 labels like what he
Hitting for? 7 zeros or more?
Remember having Aftermath sitting on my door
Money in front of me, couldn't open the door

Boom! That's that, left him on his back flat
You talking like that, jack, spitting
About crack, but never been about that
I'm real with this rap
I'm just speaking the facts
Rap, but some niggas wack
Talent something they lack
So gather your whole pack
I'm taking them off the map
My pockets is getting fat, their pockets
They staying flat so imma just hollaback
They rocking their tiny J's
But niggas ain't getting paid in the spot
Like they a slave
12 hours just for some change
Man this shit a shame when the feds come
Who you gon' blame? But that's just
Learning the game
You niggas should do the same
They go as fast as they came
Cause passing me you ain't gon' see
I go bar for bar, and b
You are just a target, b
So just call me Muhammed Ali
Easy shit be hard to do
Easy for me and hard for you
I'm leaving you with the, pick up a broad
'bout three or two
Life is like a puzzle but my level is
Some trouble, man, you gotta use your muscle
In the hood I had to tussle
Man, I'm moving to the shop, man you're not
Niggas steady talking but barely
Looking in the spot

I'm so far ahead of my time
I got people 5 years from now pressing rewind
I'm hardly a friend with
Y'all, i hate rappers
Where is your artist at?
If it ain't a good picture you're draw
Don't bring it to the architect
Often you arguing 'bout who got next
Claiming you're running the game
Niggas are barely walking yet
Hopping all over beats without
Studying training camp
Try studying a few greats then maybe
You'll be where i'm at
Your songwriting ain't great
Your mixtapes mediocre
You recycle the same quotes
You're not switching the flow
Your flow in the same place
Just don't rap elaborate try to expand
Try to be more creative perhaps
My rap friends, i ain't saying you're wack
Psyche
Like an in-voice, I'm just stating the facts
Right? Metaphores i write, in fact
It's been a factor
You've feared your whole life, no TV show
Don't compare me with them
That's like a shark
Versus Nemo, a gorilla to a chimp
Jordan versus Kukoč
A Tony Montana with blow on
His nose to a Nino
