"My nigga, what it look like?".

[Kendrick lamar]

Niggas hating, bitches hating, babies dying

Bullets flying, helicopters, police sirens, preachers lying

Genosism, criticism, unemployment, racism

Burning buildings, aids victims, cancer killing, no cure

Oil spilling, turmoil, poverty-stricken

Police brutality kicking ass of us africans, hostages in afghanistan

Not to mention another prison, child molesting

Cow intestines, botox injection, earthquakes that's government testing

Secret society weapon, opium plant manifested

That turn to crack, then invest it amongst us blacks, just a method

To hold us back, great depression, amongst iraq no direction

No google map, just a tec for the soowoo

Swerving isuzu, then blah-blah-blah, adolescents go cuckoo

Mothers are boo-boo crying, the governor keep us starving

These commercials keep us buying these cigarettes

Supermarkets fill up our liver with triumph, distinctive living with science

No place to live in, no zion, see that's forbidden, we frying

"My nigga, what it look like?"

That's exactly what hell look like, uh...

[Chorus 2x alori joh]

Tell it like it is, nigga

Tell it like it is, homeboy

Tell it like it is, nigga

Tell it like it is, tell 'em what's up

"My nigga, what it look like?".

[Kendrick lamar]

Malcolm laughing, martin laughing, biggie spitting

'pac is rapping, gregory capping, people singing, bells is ringing

Children playing, angels praying, fourteen carat golden streets

Cali greens, red wine, potato yams, turkey legs

Calling every human being... [fades out]
