    [KNOCKING]
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    Housekeeping!

    Housekeeping!
  • 0:10 - 0:14

    [SPEAKING SPANISH]
  • 0:30 - 0:32
  • 0:32 - 0:36
    I remember you was conflicted,
    misusing your influence.
  • 0:36 - 0:39
  • 0:39 - 0:40
    Sometimes I did the same.
  • 0:40 - 0:44
  • 0:44 - 0:46
    Abusing my power,
    full of resentment.
  • 0:46 - 0:49
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    Resentment that turned
    into a deep depression.
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    Found myself screaming
    in a hotel room.
  • 0:54 - 0:55
    Ah!
  • 0:55 - 0:57
  • 0:57 - 1:03
    Lucifer was all around
    me, so I kept running--
  • 1:03 - 1:05
    [GLASS SHATTERING]
  • 1:05 - 1:06
  • 1:06 - 1:10
    --until I found my safe haven.
  • 1:10 - 1:12
    I was trying to convince
    myself the stripes I got.
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    [BOTTLE SHATTERING]
  • 1:14 - 1:15
  • 1:15 - 1:18
    Making myself realize
    what my foundation was.
  • 1:18 - 1:19
    In the room, and I run it.
  • 1:19 - 1:20
    Bluh!
  • 1:20 - 1:20
    Bluh!
  • 1:20 - 1:20
    Bluh!
  • 1:20 - 1:23
    Bluh! (DISTORTED) And I run it.

    [POP]
  • 1:25 - 1:29
  • 1:29 - 1:30
    [THUD]
  • 1:30 - 1:34
    But while my loved ones was
    fighting a continuous war back
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    in the city, I was
    entering a new one.
  • 1:37 - 1:44
    A war that was based on
    apartheid and discrimination.
  • 1:44 - 1:46
    [ECHOING GUN SHOT]
  • 1:46 - 2:03
  • 2:03 - 2:04
    Hey, on my mama, nigga.
  • 2:04 - 2:06
    RIP Pat Dawg.
  • 2:06 - 2:08
    I'm gonna be the greatest
    to ever do this shit.
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    On my mama, doe, like--
  • 2:10 - 2:11
    on the dead homies.
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    [LAMAR KENDRICK, "ALRIGHT"]
  • 2:13 - 2:16
    Hey, Soundwave, turn
    this shit up, nigga.
  • 2:16 - 2:18

  • 2:18 - 2:21

  • 2:21 - 2:24

    nigga hating on me?
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    Jumping on my dick, but
    this dick ain't free.
  • 2:26 - 2:29
    To Pimp a Butterfly,
    another classic CD.
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    Ghetto lullaby for
    every one-day MC.

  • 2:34 - 2:37
    My diligence is only meant
    to write your eulogy.
  • 2:37 - 2:39
    [TIRES SCREECHING]
  • 2:39 - 2:44
  • 2:44 - 2:48
    Alls my life I has
    to fight, nigga.
  • 2:48 - 2:50
    Alls my life I--
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    hard times like, yeah.
  • 2:52 - 2:54
    Bad trips like, yeah.
  • 2:54 - 2:57
    Nazareth, I'm fucked up, homie.
  • 2:57 - 2:58
    You fucked up.
  • 2:58 - 3:01
    But if God got us, then
    we gonna be alright.
  • 3:01 - 3:03
    Nigga, we gonna be alright.
  • 3:03 - 3:06
    Nigga, we gonna be alright.
  • 3:06 - 3:07

    We gonna be alright.
  • 3:18 - 3:18
    Uh.
  • 3:18 - 3:20
    And when I wake up,
    I recognize you're
  • 3:20 - 3:21
    looking at me for the pay cut.
  • 3:21 - 3:24
    But homicide be looking
    at you from the face down.
  • 3:24 - 3:26
    While Mac-11 even boom
    with the base down.
  • 3:26 - 3:26
    Scheming.
  • 3:26 - 3:28
    And let me tell
    you about my life.
  • 3:28 - 3:30
    Painkillers only
    put me in a twilight
  • 3:30 - 3:32
    where pretty pussy and
    Benjamin is the highlight.
  • 3:32 - 3:35
    I tell my mama I love her, but
    this what I like, Lord knows.
  • 3:35 - 3:36
    20 of them in my Chevy.
  • 3:36 - 3:37
    Tell them all to
    come and get me.
  • 3:37 - 3:39
    Reaping everything
    I sow, so my karma
  • 3:39 - 3:41
    come in heaven, no preliminary
    hearings on my record.
  • 3:41 - 3:43
    I'm a motherfucking gangster
    in silence for the record.
  • 3:43 - 3:44
    Uh.
  • 3:44 - 3:46
    Tell the world I
    know it's too late.
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    Boys and girls, I
    think I've gone cray.
  • 3:48 - 3:51
    Drown inside my vices all day.
  • 3:51 - 3:52
    Won't you please
    believe when I say.
  • 3:52 - 3:56
    Wouldn't you know, we been
    hurt, been down before.
  • 3:56 - 3:59
    Nigga, when our pride was
    low, looking at the world
  • 3:59 - 4:00
    like, where do we go?
  • 4:00 - 4:02
    Nigga, and we hate po-po.
  • 4:02 - 4:05
    Wanna kill us dead in
    the street for sure.
  • 4:05 - 4:06
    Nigga, I'm at the
    preacher's door.
  • 4:06 - 4:09
    My knees getting weak,
    and my gun might blow,
  • 4:09 - 4:11
    but we gonna be alright.
  • 4:11 - 4:13
    Nigga, we gonna be alright.
  • 4:13 - 4:15
    Nigga, we gonna be alright.
  • 4:15 - 4:17
    We gonna be alright.
  • 4:17 - 4:17
    Do you hear me?
  • 4:17 - 4:18
    Do you feel me?
  • 4:18 - 4:19
    We gonna be alright.
  • 4:19 - 4:22
    Nigga, we gonna be alright.
  • 4:22 - 4:22
    Huh?
  • 4:22 - 4:24

  • 4:24 - 4:25
    Nigga, we gonna be alright.
  • 4:25 - 4:26
    Do you hear me?
  • 4:26 - 4:27
    Do you feel me?
  • 4:27 - 4:28
    We gonna be alright.
  • 4:28 - 4:30
    What you want, you a house,
    you a car, 40 acres and a mule,
  • 4:30 - 4:31
    a piano, a guitar?
  • 4:31 - 4:32
    Anything?
  • 4:32 - 4:34
    See, my name is
    Lucy, I'm your dawg.
  • 4:34 - 4:36
    Motherfucker, you
    can live at the mall.
  • 4:36 - 4:37
    I can see the evil,
    I can tell it.
  • 4:37 - 4:38
    I know what's illegal.
  • 4:38 - 4:39
    I don't think about it.
  • 4:39 - 4:41
    I deposit every little zero
    thinking of my partner.
  • 4:41 - 4:43
    Put the candy, paint
    it on the Regal.
  • 4:43 - 4:43
    Digging in my pocket.
  • 4:43 - 4:45
    Ain't a profit big
    enough to feed you.
  • 4:45 - 4:47
    Every day my logic, get
    another dollar just to keep you
  • 4:47 - 4:48
    in the presence of your chico.
  • 4:48 - 4:49
    Ah!
  • 4:49 - 4:51
    I don't talk about
    it, be about it.
  • 4:51 - 4:51
    Every day I sequel.
  • 4:51 - 4:53
    If I got it, then
    you know you got it.
  • 4:53 - 4:54
    Heaven, I can reach you.
  • 4:54 - 4:56
    Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, Pat
    Dawg, my dawg, that's all.
  • 4:56 - 4:58
    Bick back at Chad, I
    trap the back for y'all.
  • 4:58 - 5:01
    I rap, I Black on tracks so rest
    assured, my rights, my wrongs.
  • 5:01 - 5:02
    I write till I'm right with God.
  • 5:02 - 5:06
    Wouldn't you know, we been
    hurt, been down before.
  • 5:06 - 5:09
    Nigga, when our pride was
    low, looking at the world
  • 5:09 - 5:10
    like, where do we go?
  • 5:10 - 5:12
    Nigga, and we hate po-po.
  • 5:12 - 5:14
    Wanna kill us dead in
    the street for sure.
  • 5:14 - 5:16
    Nigga, I'm at the
    preacher's door.
  • 5:16 - 5:18
    My knees getting weak,
    and my gun might blow,
  • 5:18 - 5:21
    but we gonna be alright.
  • 5:21 - 5:23
    Nigga, we gonna be alright.
  • 5:23 - 5:25
    Nigga, we gonna be alright.

    Do you hear me?
  • 5:36 - 5:36
    Do you feel me?
  • 5:36 - 5:37
    We gonna be alright.
  • 5:37 - 5:41
    I keep my head up high.
  • 5:41 - 5:46
    I cross my heart
    and hope to die.
  • 5:46 - 5:48
    Loving me is complicated.
  • 5:48 - 5:50
    Too afraid, a lot of changes.
  • 5:50 - 5:52
    I'm alright, and
    you're a favorite.
  • 5:52 - 5:54
    Dark nights in my prayers.

    Found myself screaming
    in a hotel room.
  • 6:24 - 6:27
    I didn't want to self-destruct.
  • 6:27 - 6:30
    The evils of Lucy
    was all around me,
  • 6:30 - 6:32
    so I went running for answers.
