Kendrick Lamar - ​untitled 03 | 05.28.2013. lyrics

So I met this young lady, ya know
When I went back
Home i was tryna spit my best game to her
You know, give her my best cap
But she kept on
Snapping her fingers like snaps i
Said "You know what
Girl? You crazy" Then she asked
Me what he said

(What did the Asian say?) "A peace of mind"
That's what the Asian said I need a divine
Intervention was his religion and
I was surprised
Him believing in Buddha, me believing in God
Asked him what are you doing
He said "taking my time"
Meditation is a must
It don't hurt if you try
See you thinking too much
Plus you too full of yourself
Worried about your career
You ever think of your health?

(What did the Indian say?) "A piece of land"
That's what the Indian said I needed the man
Telling me longevity is in the dirt
Should buy some property first
Should profit a better dollar
With generational perks
Equity at his best, really, you should invest
These tangible things expire
Don't you expect
Income with so much outcome and yes
Look at my heritage, we blessed

(Now, what the black man say?)
"A piece of pussy"
That's what the black man said
I needed to push me
To the limit, to satisfy my hunger
We do it all for a woman
From haircut to a war
We like to live in the jungle
Like to play in the peach
What you saying to me? He said "nigga
Come back to reality for a week"
Pussy is power
Fuck on a new bitch every night
I wouldn't be prouder, you should allow it

(What the white man say?) A piece of mine's
That's what the white man wanted when I rhyme
Telling me that he selling me just for $1099
If I go platinum from rapping
I do the company fine
What if I compromise? He said
It don't even matter
You make a million or more
You living better than average
You losing your core following
Gaining it all he put a price on my talent
I hit the bank and withdraw
Hit the bank and withdraw
Hit the bank and withdraw
Put myself in the rocket ship and
I shot for the stars
"Look at what you accomplishing" what
He said to the boy
"I'ma make you some promises that
You just can't ignore
Your profession anonymous as an artist if
I don't target your market
If you ain't signing your signature when
I throw you my wallet
A lot of rappers are giving their
Demo all in the toilet
Your world tour, your master's, mortgage
I need a piece"

I holler, "What you do? What you say?"
I shall enjoy the fruit's of my
Labor if I get freed today
I holler, "What you do? What you say?"
I shall enjoy the fruit's of my
Labor if I get freed today

What the black man say?
Tell 'em we don't die, tell 'em we don't die
Tell 'em we don't die, we multiply
Tell 'em we don't die, tell 'em we don't die
Tell 'em we don't die, we multiply
Tell 'em we don't die, tell 'em we don't die
Tell 'em we don't die, we multiply
Tell 'em we don't die, tell 'em we don't die
Tell 'em we don't die, we multiply
