Lirik Kendrick Lamar Black Boy Fly
- So I'm saying ”What up what up. Nigga you made it.”
- So I'm saying ”What up what up. Nigga you made it.”
- So I'm saying ”What up what up. Nigga I hate it.”
- So I'm saying ”What up what up. Nigga I hate it.”
- Frustrated and I'm riding down the back streets
- Making my conscious ask me
- “Would I survive to make it up out this hole in time?”
- Black boy fly
- Black boy fly
- Black-black boy fly
- Black boy fly
- I used to be jealous of Aaron Afflalo
- I used to be jealous of Aaron Afflalo
- He was the one to follow
- He was the only leader foreseeing brighter tomorrows
- He would live in the gym
- We was living in sorrow
- Total envy of him
- He made a dream become a reality
- Actually making it possible to swim
- His way out of Compton with further more to accomplish
- Graduate with honors, a sponsor of basketball scholars
- It's 2004 and I'm watching him score 30
- Remember vividly how them victory points had hurt me
- Cause every basket was a reaction or a reminder
- That we was just moving backwards
- The bungalow where you find us
- The art of us ditching classes heading nowhere fast
- Stick my head inside the study hall, he focused on math
- Determination ambition, plus dedication and wisdom
- Qualities he was given was the shit we didn't have
- Dug inside of his book bag and Coach Palmer asked for his finals
- He had his back like a spinal meanwhile
- We singing the same old song spinning the vinyl
- 11 graders gone wrong
- He focused on the NBA we focused on some Patron
- Now watch that black boy fly
- Black boy fly
- Watch that black boy fly
- Black boy fly
- Watch that black boy fly
- Black boy fly
- Watch that black boy fly
- Black boy…
- I used to jealous of Jayceon
- I used to jealous of Jayceon - Taylor when I was young
- Taylor made a career out of music from writing songs
- A Buick had driven past bumping him when I mowed the lawn
- Money laundering hustling, homies pondering up against
- Schemes to make a million even if doing you harm
- War's the case and just in case you wasn't alarmed
- The city had fought with firearms and many had died before dawn
- Its 2004 and I'm hearing the people roar
- For the name of The Game they line in front of the store
- Swap meets selling our mixtapes I'm like oh shit, wait
- Don't wanna be another nigga stuck regretting mistakes
- Mixed feelings was my opinion I was defending my insecurities
- Chillin my conscience next to a villain
- Compton made you believe success wasn't real
- Be honest, none of us knew of a record deal
- So as I peel through these lottery tickets
- I see a Harley Davidson truck visit the same plaza we shopped
- A tall nigga hopped out with Jordans and a white tank top
- He was top of the rap game, we was the top of the block
- So watch that black boy fly
- My mama didn't raise me up to be jealous-hearted
- Like most of the winners call it
- Regardless of where you stay, hold your head and continue marching
- That's what she said but in my head I wanted to be like Jordan
- A Boy touring the country with money from mic recording
- The only way out the ghetto, you know the stereotype
- Shooting hoops or live on the stereo like top 40
- And shortly, I got discouraged
- Like every time I walked to the corner had them guns bursting
- Nigga, I was rehearsing in repetition the phrase
- Only one in a million will ever see better days
- Especially when the crime waves was bigger than tsunamis
- Break your boogie boards to pieces you just a typical homy
- All these niggas facetious and they all standing beside me
- They all will buy me a chopper if any one of you try me
- What am I to do when every neighborhood is an obstacle
- When 2 niggas making it out had never sounded logical
- 3 niggas making it out, that's mission impossible
- So I never believed the type of performance that I could do
- I wasn't jealous cuz of the talents they got
- I was terrified they'll be the last black boys to fly…
- Out of Compton
- Thank God…
- Black boy fly, watch that black boy fly
