[00:00.17] We on?
[00:01.47] Aight
[00:03.04] 1, 2, 3, go!
[00:05.77] Waking up in a dream
[00:07.67] Sleepwalking on another big stage
[00:09.68] You never heard peace 'til you hear people scream
[00:11.83] Your name and your song, I'm so far away
[00:14.03] From the place I used to be, struggling usually
[00:16.49] Look at the newer me, fate pursuing me
[00:18.56] I can feel the energy in the air
[00:20.92] It feel like I'm supposed to here
[00:23.27] Everywhere I go I'm getting so much love
[00:25.42] Fans, the stars, everyone
[00:27.56] Sayin how they can't wait for the LP
[00:29.80] And I'm gonna blow
[00:31.17] They believe in me
[00:32.24] Feel so good in what you do
[00:34.66] Helps somebody else get through
[00:36.66] That's why I do the best I can
[00:38.71] Because I know how blessed I am
[00:41.29] I'm so high I can touch the sky
[00:44.93] I know it's my time
[00:47.42] And it's now or never
[00:49.87] I shine so bright I light the night
[00:53.52] And it feels so right, ain't nothing better
[00:59.33] A fool if I take it all for granted
[01:01.44] A smart man if I keep my feet planted
[01:03.43] To the earth cause the people that hurt can understand it
[01:05.69] You speakin' outlandish
[01:06.79] I'mma show you how to make it all work
[01:08.49] Another plan, it a short term goal for me
[01:10.16] A reconcile for me
[01:11.56] It's just more of and me and you're here
[01:13.83] For you to hear Kendrick persevere
[01:15.54] Defenses I feel relentless
[01:17.04] And visual with a clear vision
[01:19.02] Takin' off I ain't takin off these Pistons
[01:21.17] I'm takin' off on the inner me - you're distance
[01:23.48] Came across me, how much it'a cost me
[01:25.40] To get you out my business
[01:27.14] I set a plan, it's a short term goal, no sky is the limit
[01:30.00] I'm past that, now pass that
[01:31.87] Award, not one but four
[01:33.56] Times two plus yours
[01:35.07] I see myself performing there (K.dot)
[01:37.27] Sold out shows where the room is packed
[01:39.23] Sitting at the Grammy's winning five awards
[01:41.40] See myself on big billboards
[01:43.73] Traveling around the world with endorsement deals
[01:46.10] Can't imagine how it feels
[01:48.62] That's why I'm smiling everyday
[01:50.53] Because my dream ain't far away
[01:52.74] I'm so high I can touch the sky
[01:56.74] I know it's my time
[01:58.91] And it's now or never
[02:01.46] I shine so bright I light the night
[02:05.48] And it feels so right, ain't nothing better
[02:10.86] You looking at me and you tell me I'm blessed
[02:12.79] Calculated my steps, my heart, my breath
[02:14.98] Breathe hums? of a victory and vividly
[02:16.75] You see me when at my best, my worst
[02:18.68] This dedicated to the days that I slept
[02:21.15] With a curse research my paid dues I'm reimbursed
[02:23.93] I burst in the crowd with a voice and crown
[02:26.02] I'm a King on the prowl and I (seem I'm a smile)?
[02:28.58] And I vow on the tape that I'll never break
[02:30.27] You can break bread with me now
[02:31.84] We can all take a bow on the edge of the pedestal
[02:34.17] Then scream out loud that we made it off the avenue
[02:36.25] And walked that mile
[02:37.64] In the darkness I often sit back
[02:39.10] And get lost in the rap that I wrote
[02:40.86] When you told me that it spoke to your soul
[02:42.21] I was talking to you
[02:43.57] I was walking it through every ghetto
[02:45.23] Tell success hello
[02:46.68] We here
[02:47.31] And I'm so happy I cry
[02:49.64] Cause I can't believe
[02:51.62] All the things I ever wanted
[02:54.11] Are finally happening for me
[02:56.26] And it's so surreal
[02:58.26] That I almost feel
[03:00.65] Any minute I can wake up
[03:02.61] From this fantasy
[03:04.97] When you pray so hard
[03:07.02] And you've come so far
[03:09.39] And you know that it's the time for you lift your?
[03:14.03] And I'm gunna do it
[03:16.72] Watch me
[03:17.97] I'm so high I can touch the sky
[03:21.79] I know it's my time
[03:24.00] And it's now or never
[03:26.41] I shine so bright I light the night
[03:30.42] And it feels so right, ain't nothing better
[03:35.72] I'm so high I can touch the sky
[03:39.60] I know it's my time
[03:41.99] And it's now or never
[03:44.46] I shine so bright I light the night
[03:48.56] And it feels so right, ain't nothing better
[03:55.24]
