Kendrick Lamar, Bilal, Anna Wise, Snoop Dogg - Institutionalized(2015)

[00:21.70] What money got to do with it
[00:23.87] When I don't know the full definition of a rap image?
[00:26.43] I'm trapped inside the ghetto and I ain't proud to admit it
[00:28.90] Institutionalized, I keep runnin' back for a visit
[00:31.67] Hol' up, get it back
[00:35.75] I said I'm trapped inside the ghetto and I ain't proud to admit it
[00:39.63] Institutionalized, I could still kill me a nigga, so what?
[00:44.10] If I was the president
[00:48.15] I'd pay my mama's rent
[00:50.81] Free my homies and them
[00:53.87] Bulletproof my Chevy doors
[00:56.41] Lay in the White House and get high, Lord
[01:00.16] Who ever thought?
[01:01.58] Master take the chains off me
[01:05.68]
[01:18.00] Life can be like a box of chocolate
[01:20.47] Quid pro quo, somethin' for somethin', that's the obvious
[01:23.40] Oh shit, flow's so sick, don't you swallow it
[01:26.23] Bitin' my style, you're salmonella poison positive
[01:29.11] I can just alleviate the rap industry politics
[01:32.31] Milk the game up, never lactose intolerant
[01:35.18] The last remainder of real shit, you know the obvious
[01:38.30] Me scholarship? No, streets put me through colleges
[01:41.25] Be all you can be, true, but the problem is
[01:44.25] A dream's only a dream if work don't follow it
[01:47.25] Remind me of the homies that used to know me, now follow this
[01:49.95] I'll tell you my hypothesis, I'm probably just way too loyal
[01:53.18] K Dizzle would do it for you, my niggas think I'm a god
[01:56.12] Truthfully all of 'em spoiled, usually you're never charged
[01:59.32] But somethin' came over you once I took you to the fuckin' BET Awards
[02:03.93] You lookin' at artists like the harvests
[02:06.88] So many Rollies around you and you want all of them
[02:09.63] Somebody told me you thinkin' 'bout snatchin' jewelry
[02:12.70] I should've listened what my grandmama said to me
[02:15.42] Shit don't change until you get up and wash your ass nigga
[02:20.63] Shit don't change until you get up and wash your ass
[02:27.18] Shit don't change until you get up and wash your ass nigga
[02:33.17] Oh now, slow down
[02:39.15] And once upon a time in a city so divine
[02:42.09] Called West Side Compton, there stood a little nigga
[02:45.03] He was 5 foot something, God bless the kid
[02:48.17] Took his homie to the show and this is what they said
[02:51.16] Fuck am I s'posed to do when I'm lookin' at walkin' licks?
[02:53.95] The constant big money talk about mansions and foreign whips
[02:56.93] The private jets and passports, presidential glass floor
[03:00.05] Gold bottles, gold models, sniffin' up the ass for
[03:02.94] Instagram flicks, suck a dick, fuck is this?
[03:05.70] One more suck away from wavin' flashy wrist
[03:07.86] My defense mechanism tell me to get him, quickly because he got it
[03:11.97] It's the recession, then why the fuck he in King of Diamonds?
[03:14.91] No more livin' poor, meet my .44
[03:17.88] When I see 'em, put the per diem on the floor
[03:20.75] Now Kendrick, know they're your co-workers
[03:22.71] But it's gon' take a lot for this pistol go cold turkey
[03:25.73] Now I can watch his watch on the TV and be okay
[03:28.61] But see I'm on the clock once that watch landin' in LA
[03:31.67] Remember steal from the rich and givin' it back to the poor?
[03:34.59] Well that's me at these awards
[03:36.19] I guess my grandmama was warnin' a boy
[03:38.39] She said...
[03:39.02] Shit don't change until you get up and wash your ass nigga
[03:44.13] Shit don't change until you get up and wash your ass
[03:50.68] Shit don't change until you get up and wash your ass nigga
[03:56.55] Oh now, slow down
[04:02.54] And once upon a time in a city so divine
[04:05.60] Called West Side Compton, there stood a little nigga
[04:08.49] He was 5 foot something, dazed and confused
[04:11.72] Talented but still under the neighborhood ruse
[04:14.68] You can take your boy out the hood but you can't take the hood out the homie
[04:19.15] Took his show money, stashed it in the mozey wozey
[04:22.12] Hollywood's nervous
[04:23.71] Fuck you, goodnight, thank you much for your service
[04:25.68]
