[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
24/7, 365, motherfucker, I'm still right on time
Oh, you thought you had me all figured out?
Take it from the horse’s mouth, you'll never understand me
I told you my Plan B is to win your hearts before we win a Grammy
These days, ain't shit changed
Different toilet, same shit
And I drank a whole gallon of laxatives by accident just to shit on you has-beens
Had it been for my past tense, I wouldn't be rapping
See, these streets made me
Broke me down, built me up, drove me crazy
Made me hungry, made you hate me, but fuck love
It don't make dollars, it don't make sense, n***a
By the way, that's DJ Quik, n***a
Respect it or check it
These days, I'm a little more focused
‘Cause y'all cracked the door and I kicked it open
Yellin' “Get the fuck down, or I will shoot, I told you not to motherfucking move”
Be another example
I'll take the whole industry hostage if I have to
I'll sabotage this game
A good kid? Yeah, that's only in my mama's eyes
I seen a dead body at five and that shit made me traumatized
So these days, a little blood on my hands ain't nothing compared to hopping out a minivan
With a mini .223 and the homie TuTu, and two more white tees on
Oh, nobody got time for that
These days, it's only time for rap
So Herbert Anthony Stevens, you make or break bread before we break even
Before they broke our records, we broke records and wrote pieces of history
So these days? These accolades that's meant for we?
It's only truth that this shit was meant to be
TDE
[Chorus: Ab-Soul & JaVonté]
Life's still a traffic jam (Life is still a traffic jam)
Life's still a traffic jam (Life is still a traffic jam)
Life's still a traffic jam (Life is still a traffic jam)
Life's still a traffic jam (Ready to go)
Life's still a traffic jam (Still ready to go)
Life's still a traffic jam (Still ready to go)
Life's still a traffic jam
Life's still a traffic jam

[Verse 2: Ab-Soul]
Shit, what more did you expect?
HiiiPower
For the most part, we go hard for the respect
I'm obviously ominous to my competition
And if I ain't better than Kendrick, then nobody is, then
We shared our life with you
Shared our light with you even in the darkest of hours
In hopes that one day, just maybe, one day the world'll be ours
Ha, and now they look up to us like towers
For rhymin’ like we had superpowers
They should've never let us in these offices
Knowing good and god-damn well
How well we've been ducking officers
Laughing at the scraps they offered us in the past
And now we toast champagne to the thirst we never had
I had my ups and downs, but I always left right
Rest in peace Alori Joh, Top Dawg for life
And oh yeah, Soul
[Outro: Ab-Soul]
Yeah
Ayo, Denzel, we took a minute, but we did it, my n***a, for real
At minimum, we did it bigger, my n***a
Yeah
Shout out JaVonté, the velvet vocalist
Uh, I’mma just get up outta here and let Terrace Martin finish having sex with the saxophone and shit
I’m gone

[Interlude: Kendrick Lamar]
I watch that fire that we're gathered around and see that it burns similar to the fire that is inside you
