It was always me versus the world
Until I found it's me versus me
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
Just remember what happens on earth stays on earth!
We gon' put it in reverse
Darling I told you many times
And I am telling you once again
Just to remind you sweetheart that my—
Oh Lamar, Hail Mary and marijuana, times is hard
Pray with the hooligans, shadows all in the dark
Fellowship with demons and relatives, I'm a star
Life is one funny mothafucka
A true comedian, you gotta love him, you gotta trust him
I might be buggin', infomercials and no sleep
Introverted by my thoughts
Children listen, it gets deep
See once upon a time inside the Nickerson Garden projects
The object was to process and digest poverty's dialect
Adaptation inevitable, gun violence, crack spot
Federal policies raid buildings and drug professionals
Anthony was the oldest of seven
Well respected, calm and collected
Laughin' and joking made life easier
Hard times, momma on crack
A four-year-old telling his nanny he needed her
His family history pimpin' and bangin'
He was meant to be dangerous
Clocked him a grip and start slangin'
Fifteen scrapin' up his jeans with quarter pieces
Even got some head from a smoker last weekend
Dodged a policeman workin' for his big homie
Small time hustler, graduated to a brick on him
Ten thousand dollars out of a project housing
That's on the daily, seen his first mil twenty years old
Had a couple of babies, had a couple of shooters
Caught a murder case, fingerprints on the gun
They assumin', but witnesses couldn't prove it
That was back when he turned his back
And they killed his cousin
He beat the case and went back to hustlin'
Bird shufflin', Anthony rang
The first in the projects with the two-tone Mustang
That 5.0 thing, they say 5-0 came
Circlin' parkin' lots and parking spots
And hoppin' out while harrasing the corner blocks
Crooked cops told Anthony he should kick it
He brushed them off and walked back
To the Kentucky Fried Chicken
See at this chicken spot
There was a light-skinned nigga that talked a lot
With a curly top and a gap in his teeth
He worked the window, his name was Ducky
He came from the streets the Robert Taylor Homes
Southside Projects, Chiraq, the Terror Dome
Drove to California with a woman on him and 500 dollars
They had a son hoping that he'd see college
Hustlin' on the side with a nine to five to freak it
Cadillac Seville, he'd ride his son around on weekends
Three-piece special with his name on the shirt pocket
'Cross the street from the projects
Anthony planned to rob it
Stuck up the place before back in '84
That's when affiliation was really eight gears of war
So many relatives telling us, selling us devilish works
Killing us crime, intelligent, felonious
Prevalent proposition with nines
Ducky was well aware, they robbed the manager
And shot a customer last year
He figured he'd get on these niggas good sides
Free chicken every time Anthony posted in line
Two extra biscuits, Anthony liked him and then let him slide
They didn't kill him, in fact it look like
They're the last to survive
Pay attention, that one decision changed both of they lives
One curse at a time, reverse the manifest
And good karma and I'll tell you why
You take two strangers
And put 'em in random predicaments
Give 'em a soul so they can
Make their own choices and live with it
Twenty years later them same strangers
You make 'em meet again
Inside recording studios where they reaping their benefits
Then you start reminding them 'bout that chicken incident
Whoever thought the greatest rapper
Would be from coincidence
Because if Anthony killed Ducky
Top Dawg could be servin' life
While I grew up without a father and die in a gunfight
So I was taking a walk the other day
It was always me versus the world
Es war immer ich gegen die Welt
Until I found it's me versus me
Bis ich herausfand, dass es ich gegen mich ist
Why, why, why, why?
Warum, warum, warum, warum?
Why, why, why, why?
Warum, warum, warum, warum?
Just remember what happens on earth stays on earth!
Erinnere dich nur daran, was auf der Erde passiert, bleibt auf der Erde!
We gon' put it in reverse
Wir werden es rückgängig machen
Darling I told you many times
Liebling, ich habe es dir viele Male gesagt
And I am telling you once again
Und ich sage es dir noch einmal
Just to remind you sweetheart that my—
Nur um dich, Schatz, daran zu erinnern, dass mein—
Oh Lamar, Hail Mary and marijuana, times is hard

Das Leben ist ein verdammt lustiger Kerl
A true comedian, you gotta love him, you gotta trust him

See once upon a time inside the Nickerson Garden projects

While I grew up without a father and die in a gunfight
Mentre io sono cresciuto senza un padre e muoio in una sparatoria
So I was taking a walk the other day
Quindi stavo facendo una passeggiata l'altro giorno
[Intro: Bekon & Kid Capri]
Selalu saja aku melawan dunia
Hingga aku menemukan diriku melawan diriku sendiri
Mengapa, mengapa, mengapa, mengapa?
Mengapa, mengapa, mengapa, mengapa?
Ingatlah, apa yang terjadi di Bumi tetap di Bumi!
Kita akan memutar balik waktu
[Bridge: Ted Taylor (Diambil dari Sampel)]
Sayang, sudah kukatakan berkali-kali
Dan aku mengatakannya sekali lagi
Hanya untuk mengingatkanmu, sayang
Bahwa aku-
[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
Oh, Lamar
Hail Mary dan ganja, waktu sulit
Berdoa dengan kumpulan preman, bayangan di tempat gelap
Berhubungan dengan iblis dan kerabat, aku adalah bintang
Hidup ini adalah sesuatu yang lucu
Seorang pelawak sejati, kamu harus mencintainya, kamu harus mempercayainya
Mungkin aku bingung, tayangan iklan dan tidak ada tidur
Dalam diriku yang introvert; anak-anak, dengarkan, ini menjadi mendalam Lihatlah, suatu saat di dalam proyek Nickerson Gardеn
Tujuannya adalah memproses dan memahami dialеk kemiskinan
Adaptasi tak terhindarkan: kekerasan senjata, tempat jual ganja
Kebijakan federal menyerbu bangunan dan para profesional narkoba
Anthony adalah yang tertua dari tujuh bersaudara
Diakui, tenang, dan terkumpul
Tertawa dan bercanda membuat hidup lebih mudah; masa sulit, ibu dalam kecanduan
Seorang anak berusia empat tahun memberitahu pengasuhnya bahwa dia membutuhkannya
Sejarah keluarganya: pemerasan dan pertarungan
Dia seharusnya menjadi berbahaya, mengantongi uang dan mulai berdagang
Usia lima belas tahun, menggores celananya dengan potongan perempat
Bahkan mendapatkan pelayanan dari seorang perokok akhir pekan lalu
Menghindari polisi, bekerja untuk rekan besarnya
Penjual kecil, lulus ke bisnis narkoba
Sepuluh ribu dolar dari perumahan proyek, itulah yang terjadi setiap hari
Melihat miliaran pertamanya pada usia dua puluh tahun, punya beberapa anak
Punya beberapa penembak, ditangkap karena pembunuhan
Sidik jari pada senjata yang dituduhkan, tapi saksi tidak bisa membuktikannya
Sidik jari pada senjata yang dituduhkan, tapi saksi tidak bisa membuktikannya
Dia melewati kasus itu dan kembali berdagang
Anthony rangkak, Mustang dua warna
Mustang, 5.0 itu
Mereka bilang 5-0 datang, mengitari tempat parkir dan tempat parkir
Serta melompat keluar sambil mengganggu sudut jalan
Polisi korup memberitahu Anthony sebaiknya dia berhenti
Dia mengabaikannya dan berjalan kembali ke Kentucky Fried Chicken
Lihat, di tempat ayam ini, ada seorang pria yang banyak bicara
Dengan rambut ikal dan celah di giginya, dia bekerja di jendela
Namanya Ducky, dia berasal dari jalanan, The Robert Taylor Homes
Proyek Southside, Chiraq, Terror Dome
Mengemudi ke California bersama seorang wanita dan lima ratus dolar
Mereka memiliki seorang anak, berharap dia bisa kuliah
Menggeluti bisnis sambil bekerja sembilan hingga lima
Cadillac Seville, dia mengajak putranya berkeliling di akhir pekan
Pakaian tiga bagian dengan namanya di kantong kemeja
Di seberang jalan dari proyek, Anthony berencana merampoknya
Merampok tempat itu sebelumnya, pada tahun '84
Saat itu afiliasi benar-benar pada perang perang
Begitu banyak kerabat memberi tahu kita, menjual kita karya-karya setan, membunuh kita, kejahatan
Usulan penjahat cerdas dan merajalela dengan senjata 9
Ducky sangat sadar
Mereka merampok manajer dan menembak seorang pelanggan tahun lalu
Dia pikir dia akan mendapatkan simpati dari pria-pria itu
Ayam gratis setiap kali Anthony mengantri, dua biskuit ekstra
Anthony menyukainya dan kemudian membiarkannya, mereka tidak membunuhnya
Bahkan, tampaknya mereka yang terakhir yang selamat, perhatikan
Satu keputusan itu mengubah kedua kehidupan mereka, satu kutukan per satu
Balikkan manifestasi dan karma baik, dan aku akan memberitahumu mengapa
Ambil dua orang asing dan tempatkan mereka dalam situasi acak
Berikan mereka jiwa, sehingga mereka bisa membuat pilihan mereka sendiri dan hidup dengannya
Dua puluh tahun kemudian, dua orang asing itu bertemu lagi
Di dalam studio rekaman di mana mereka mendapatkan manfaat mereka
Lalu mulailah mengingatkan mereka tentang insiden ayam itu
Siapa yang pernah berpikir rapper terhebat akan berasal dari kebetulan?
Karena jika Anthony membunuh Ducky, Top Dawg bisa melayani hukuman seumur hidup
Sementara aku tumbuh tanpa ayah dan mati dalam baku tembak
[Outro: Kendrick Lamar]
Jadi, saya sedang berjalan-jalan yang lain hari...
