[Part I]

[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
Once I finish this, if you listen this, sure you'll agree
Been feelin' this way since I was 16, come to my senses
You never liked us anyway, bump your friendship, I meant it
I'm African American, I'm African
I'm Black as the moon, heritage of a small village
Part of my residence
Came from the bottom of mankind
My hair is nappy, you know that it's big
My nose and round and wide
You hate me, don't you? You hate my people
Your plan to terminate my culture
You know you're evil, I want you to recognize that I'm a proud monkey
You vandalize my perception, but can't take style from me
And this is more than confession
I mean, I might press the button, so you know my discretion
Pardon my feelings, I know that you feel it
Sabotaging my community, makin' a killin'
You make me a killer, emancipation of a real hitter, huh
[Interlude: Kendrick Lamar]
As we proceed, to give ya what ya need
Trap our bodies, but can't lock our mind
Everybody, stop!

[Chorus: Assassin]
I said they treat me like a slave cah me Black
Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain cah we Black
And man a say they put me inna chains cah we Black
Imagine now, big gold chains full of rocks
How you no see the whip, left scars 'pon me back
But now we have a big whip parked 'pon the block
All them say we doomed from the start cah we Black
Remember this, every race start from the Black, jus 'member dat

[Over Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
As we proceed, to give ya what ya need
Trap our bodies, can't trap our mind

[Part II]

[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
We gon' be alright, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Uh, and when I wake up
I recognize you're lookin' at me for the pay cut
But homicide lookin' at you from the face down
MAC-11 even boom with the bass down
Schemin', and let me tell you 'bout my life
Painkillers only put me in the twilight
Pretty women and women in the highlight
Tell my momma I love her, but this what I like
Lord knows, twenty of 'em in my Chevy
Tell 'em all to come and get me, everything I know
Karma comin' heavy, preliminary hearings on my record
Tell 'em I'm a gangsta, silence for the record, uh
Tell the world I know it's too late
Boys and girls, I think I've gone cray
Drownin' inside my vices all day
Won't you please believe when I say

[Pre-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
Wouldn't you know, we've been hurt, down before
When our pride was low, lookin' at the world, where do we go?
I'm at the preacher's door, wanna kill us dead at the preacher's door
We say give 'em some more, this one time, go for show
But we gon' be alright, huh

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams, Kendrick Lamar, Both]
We gon' be alright (Ah), we gon' be alright (Hello)
We gon' be alright, do you hear me? Do you feel me?
We gon' be alright, (Peace) we gon' be alright (Hello)
Huh? We gon' be alright, we gon' be alright
Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon' be alright
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
What you want you, a house? A car? Acres and a mule? A piano or guitar?
'Thing, see, my name is Lucy, I'm your dog
You can live at the mall
I can see the evil, I can smell it, I know it's illegal
I don't think about it, deposit every other zero
Thinking of my partner, candy, paint it on the Regal
Digging in my pocket, profit big enough to feed you
Every day my logic, dollar just to keep you
In the presence of your chico, ah!
I don't talk about it, be about it, every day I sequel
I don't talk about it, 'bout it, every day I see
I don't talk about it, 'bout it, every day I see
I don't talk about it, 'bout it, every day I see
Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, my dog, that's all
Back and Chad, I trap the bag
I rap, I black on track so rest assured
Rights, wrongs; write 'til I'm right with...
God

[Instrumental Break]

[Part III]

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
It's been a week already, feelin' weak already
Got me at peak, possibility of what it could be, situation is heavy
I've got to prove on February 26th I lost my life, too
It's like I'm here in a dark dream, nightmare, hearin' screams recorded
Say that the sound is distorted, but I know who it was
That was me yelling for help when he drowned in his blood
Why didn't he defend himself? Why couldn't he throw a punch?
And for the community, do you know what this does? Add to a trail of hatred
2012 was taped for the world to see, set us back another 400 years
This is modern-day slavery, the reason why I'm by your house
You threw your briefcase along the couch
I plan on creepin' through your damn door and blowin' out every piece of your brain
'Til your son jumps into your arms, cut off the engine then sped off in the rain
I got 100 on my dash with my Bible in the trunk, Taaka vodka, I'm drunk
How come I can lug drugs, how come I could make it popular?
Hop on what I want, how come I could make it popular?
Hop on what I want, see, I'm living with anxiety
Duckin' the sobriety, cussin' at the system
I playin' with society, justice ain't free
Therefore justice ain't me, so I justify his name on obituary
Why you wanna see a good man wit' a broken heart?
Once upon a time, I go to church and talk to God
Now I'm thinking to myself, "Hollow tips is all I got"
Now I'm drinking by myself, at the intersection, parked
Watched you when you walk inside your house
You threw your briefcase along the couch
I plan on creepin' through your damn door and blowin' out every piece of your brain
'Til your son jumps into your arms, cut off the engine then sped off in the rain
I said HiiiPower, one time you see it, HiiiPower, two times, you see it
HiiiPower, two times, you see it
Conversation for the entire nation, this is bigger than life
