Lyrics Illuminate - Ab-Soul , Kendrick Lamar
Back
when
I
first
grabbed
that
pen
I
told
myself
I
was
gon'
win
And
I
ain't
know
when
But
it
was
gon'
end
Up
happening,
I
want
in
So
you
can
take
your
top
5 list
Dead
or
alive
and
put
me
after
Em
I'm
a
fucking
genius
Gripping
my
fucking
penis,
living
this
life
You
can't
tell
me
nothing
Still
ain't
really
got
no
money
fucking
right
I'm
all
about
that
real,
about
that
real
This
ain't
no
motion
picture
I
tell
you
how
that
feel,
how
that
feel
Even
when
the
odds
against
you
They
wanna
see
me
wearing
Polo
drawers
Put
2 chains
on
and
that
ain't
wrong
But
that
ain't
me,
I
go
too
damn
hard
I
don't
need
clothes
or
jewelry
to
stand
out
Black
lip
nigga
with
his
hair
wild
Too
damn
proud
Been
killing
this
since
Cam
made
Oh
Boy
Oh
boy,
I'm
the
man
now
TDE,
put
the
money
in
my
hand
ain't
shit
free
This
business
is
quick
sand
and
I
won't
sink
Put
the
pistol
in
my
hand
and
I
won't
think
Rest
in
peace,
you
just
made
room
for
the
next
to
be
I
never
been
afraid
to
say
what
I
wanna
say
when
I
wanna
say
it,
okay
then
Further
more
we
do
this
for
y'all
Rap
is
stressin'
but
it
pays
great
That
is
until
you
lose
appeal
And
your
release
date
gets
date
raped
Stay
safe,
hold
your
head
I
got
two
fifth
and
a
loaf
of
bread
Feed
the
people,
food
for
thought
Because
we
are
equal,
who'd
have
thought
They
wanna
share
my
light
They
wanna
share
my
light
They
wanna
share
my
light
They
wanna
share
my
light
They
wanna
share
my
light
They
wanna
share
my
light
They
wanna
share
my
light
They
wanna
share
my
light
You
can
have
all
my
shine,
I'll
give
you
the
light
You
can
have
all
my
shine,
I'll
give
you
the
light
I
used
to
wanna
rap
like
Jay-Z
Now
I
feel
like
I'm
runnin'
laps
around
Jay-Z
Nas
ain't
seen
nothing
this
nasty
B.I.G.
& Pac
got
it
coming
when
I
pass
too
You
got
the
mic,
I
ain't
the
one
you
wanna
pass
to
My
niggas
say
my
new
shit
past
due
I
paid
dues,
even
got
that
shit
tattooed
HiiiPoWeR
on
another
plateau
I
know
you
know
we
need
a
few
plaques
too
The
brand
new
niggas
with
a
attitude
Poppin'
Compton
or
Timbuktu
I
might
even
sell
my
new
shit
for
10
bucks
too
Too
I'll
when
I
jot
these
words
True
eel
when
I
shock
the
world
I
know
life's
a
bitch
When
you
know
life's
a
bitch
and
that's
not
your
girl
Cold
shit,
I'm
hot
though
Like
Cold
get,
Ab-Soul
This
is
a
shift
in
paradigm
I
remember
when
I
couldn't
spare
a
dime
Now
I
step
in
with
a
pair
of
dimes
On
P's,
y'all
know
me
Flow
like
water,
admiralty
The
best
author
ever
to
breath
And
as
we
proceed
to
follow
these
dreams
I
ain't
losing
no
sleep
No,
no
at
them
no
doors
Just
know
"No"
if
it's
no
dough
So
high
but
I'm
Soulo
Two
cups
and
I
sip
slow
Taking
my
time
We
don't
just
shine,
we
illuminate
the
whole
show
Now
let's
go
Time
and
time
I
drop
line
for
line
But
only
time
will
tell
If
I
ever
go
Columbine
And
cop
30
nines
and
cock
back
and
kill
See
the
truth
is,
they
wanna
know
how
close
me,
Dre
and
Snoop
is
Or
how
the
shoe
fits
when
they
choose
this
to
be
2Pac
But
truth
I
give
two
shits
'bout
Expectations
or
critics
hating
Shit,
I
just
put
moms
on
vacation
Bitch
you
never
know
my
new
location,
it's
across
nations
Court
cases
get
thrown
out
So
tell
the
motherfucking
King
dethrone
now
I
am
ruler,
I
am
highness
The
Prince
Zamunda
I
am
the
shit
like
what
the
prune
does
Black
on
black
tip
like
Kinta
Kunta
Black
is
back
bitch
I'm
the
the
coupe-da
Black
on
black
crime
resent
the
shooter
Black,
black,
black,
I
intend
to
mute
you
Racks
on
racks,
I
don't
rap
on
tracks
Without
my
A-game
so
please
don't
ask
me
about
no
pressure
Bitch
see
the
grip
on
my
fingertip
I
can
hold
this
coast
together
