| [00:00.58] |
We on? |
| [00:01.89] |
Aight |
| [00:02.64] |
|
| [00:03.58] |
1, 2, 3, go! |
| [00:05.36] |
|
| [00:06.86] |
Waking up in a dream |
| [00:07.86] |
Sleepwalking on another big stage |
| [00:10.30] |
You never heard peace |
| [00:11.42] |
'til you hear people scream |
| [00:12.55] |
Your name and your song, |
| [00:13.68] |
I'm so far away |
| [00:14.61] |
From the place I used to be, |
| [00:16.00] |
struggling usually |
| [00:16.32] |
Look at the newer me, |
| [00:17.75] |
fate pursuing me |
| [00:19.03] |
I can feel the energy in the air |
| [00:21.22] |
It feel like |
| [00:22.16] |
I'm supposed to be here |
| [00:23.56] |
Everywhere I go |
| [00:24.63] |
I'm getting so much love |
| [00:25.75] |
Fans, the stars, everyone |
| [00:26.94] |
Sayin how they |
| [00:28.88] |
can't wait for the LP |
| [00:30.07] |
And I'm gonna blow |
| [00:31.38] |
They believe in me |
| [00:32.69] |
Feel so good in what you do |
| [00:34.61] |
Helps somebody else get through |
| [00:37.11] |
That's why I do the best I can |
| [00:39.36] |
Because I know how blessed I am |
| [00:41.74] |
I'm so high |
| [00:43.17] |
I can touch the sky |
| [00:44.82] |
|
| [00:45.44] |
I know it's my time |
| [00:47.63] |
And it's now or never |
| [00:49.81] |
|
| [00:50.32] |
Shine so bright, |
| [00:52.06] |
I light the night |
| [00:54.41] |
And it feels so right, |
| [00:56.53] |
ain't nothing better |
| [00:58.97] |
|
| [00:59.91] |
A fool if |
| [01:00.60] |
I take it all for granted |
| [01:02.03] |
A smart man |
| [01:02.66] |
if I keep my feet planted |
| [01:04.00] |
To the earth cause the people |
| [01:05.32] |
that hurt can understand it |
| [01:06.19] |
You speakin' outlandish |
| [01:06.63] |
I'm a show you |
| [01:07.69] |
how to make it all work |
| [01:08.82] |
Another plan, |
| [01:09.13] |
it a short term goal for me |
| [01:10.88] |
A record sold for me |
| [01:12.00] |
It's just more of me in your ear |
| [01:13.75] |
For you to hear Kendrick persevere |
| [01:15.41] |
Defenses I feel relentless |
| [01:17.54] |
Ambition with a clear vision |
| [01:19.35] |
Takin' off I ain't |
| [01:20.47] |
takin off these Pistons |
| [01:21.35] |
I'm takin' off on |
| [01:22.54] |
the inner me |
| [01:23.41] |
you're distance |
| [01:23.88] |
Came across me, |
| [01:24.82] |
how much it'a cost me |
| [01:26.00] |
To get you out my business |
| [01:27.25] |
I set a plan, |
| [01:28.31] |
it's a short term goal, |
| [01:29.50] |
no sky is the limit |
| [01:30.50] |
I'm past that, now pass that |
| [01:31.79] |
Award, not one but four |
| [01:33.60] |
Times two plus yours |
| [01:35.22] |
I see myself performing there, K.dot |
| [01:37.79] |
Sold out shows |
| [01:38.47] |
where the room is packed |
| [01:39.53] |
Sitting at the Grammy's |
| [01:40.72] |
winning five awards |
| [01:41.66] |
See myself on big billboards |
| [01:44.07] |
Traveling around the world |
| [01:45.38] |
with endorsement deals |
| [01:46.25] |
Can't imagine how it feels |
| [01:48.33] |
That's why I'm smiling everyday |
| [01:50.83] |
Because my dream ain't far away |
| [01:52.71] |
|
| [01:53.39] |
I'm so high |
| [01:54.79] |
I can touch the sky |
| [01:56.97] |
I know it's my time |
| [01:59.16] |
And it's now or never |
| [02:01.85] |
Shine so bright, |
| [02:03.66] |
I light the night |
| [02:05.82] |
And it feels so right, |
| [02:08.08] |
ain't nothing better |
| [02:10.27] |
|
| [02:11.15] |
You looking at me |
| [02:12.08] |
and you tell me I'm blessed |
| [02:13.15] |
Calculated my steps, |
| [02:13.83] |
my heart, my breath |
| [02:15.16] |
Breathe hums? |
| [02:15.85] |
of a victory and vividly |
| [02:16.85] |
You see me when at my best, |
| [02:18.35] |
my worst |
| [02:18.91] |
This verse dedicated |
| [02:19.73] |
to the days that I slept |
| [02:21.29] |
With a curse research |
| [02:22.22] |
my paid dues I'm reimbursed |
| [02:23.35] |
I burst in the crowd |
| [02:24.76] |
with a voice and crown |
| [02:26.22] |
I'm a King on the prowl |
| [02:27.66] |
and I see mama smile? |
| [02:28.73] |
And I vow on the tape |
| [02:29.99] |
that I'll never break |
| [02:30.74] |
You can break bread with me now |
| [02:32.11] |
We can all take a bow |
| [02:33.24] |
on the edge of the pedestal |
| [02:34.21] |
Then scream out loud |
| [02:35.52] |
that we made it off the avenue |
| [02:36.90] |
And walked that mile |
| [02:37.71] |
In the darkness |
| [02:38.27] |
I often sit back |
| [02:39.21] |
And get lost |
| [02:39.90] |
in the rap that I wrote |
| [02:41.09] |
When you told me |
| [02:41.83] |
that it spoke to your soul |
| [02:42.77] |
I was talking to you |
| [02:43.59] |
I was walking it |
| [02:44.18] |
through every ghetto |
| [02:45.18] |
Tell success hello |
| [02:46.62] |
We here |
| [02:47.62] |
And I'm so happy I cry |
| [02:49.80] |
Cause I can't believe |
| [02:51.74] |
All the things I ever wanted |
| [02:54.05] |
Are finally happening for me |
| [02:56.93] |
And it's so surreal |
| [02:58.49] |
That I almost feel |
| [03:00.55] |
That any minute I can wake up |
| [03:03.09] |
From this fantasy |
| [03:04.27] |
When you pray so hard |
| [03:07.02] |
|
| [03:07.52] |
And you've come so far |
| [03:09.55] |
And you know that |
| [03:10.93] |
it's the time |
| [03:11.87] |
for you lift your bar |
| [03:13.80] |
|
| [03:14.49] |
And I'm gonna do it |
| [03:17.12] |
|
| [03:17.80] |
Watch me! |
| [03:18.43] |
I'm so high |
| [03:19.80] |
I can touch the sky |
| [03:21.99] |
I know it's my time |
| [03:24.44] |
And it's now or never |
| [03:26.38] |
|
| [03:26.94] |
Shine so bright, |
| [03:28.88] |
I light the night |
| [03:31.07] |
And it feels so right, |
| [03:32.76] |
|
| [03:33.32] |
ain't nothing better |
| [03:35.41] |
|
| [03:36.16] |
I'm so high |
| [03:37.91] |
I can touch the sky |
| [03:39.91] |
I know it's my time |
| [03:42.35] |
And it's now or never |
| [03:44.88] |
Shine so bright, |
| [03:46.75] |
I light the night |
| [03:48.94] |
And it feels so right, |
| [03:51.20] |
ain't nothing better |
