LetMeBeMe

Let Me Be Me - Kendrick Lamar (肯德里克·拉马尔)

We on Ali You ugly

Everybody just clap your hands if you're real

Middle finger up give a f**k how they feel

Be yourself just show me you're real

Middle fingers up

Just let me be me hmm

That's the only way I know

Just let me be me hmm

That's the only way I know

That's the only way I know how to hold it down

That's-that's the only way I know how to hold it down

Uh I just wanna be me

No disrespect but motherf**k you

My education stopped at a high school degree

But I can outsmart any high IQ

Draped in some fly sh*t call me Jeff Goldblum

Cold my style making my nose run

Oh I stare at the mirror then realize

That real lies within me

Some say I'm crazy cause I think like I need a shrink

Ask too many questions about the stars and Earth sh*t

Rather be in the studio than out buying drinks

So if I'm not clubbing don't think I'm on some jerk sh*t

And California on that jerk sh*t

But I'd just rather two-step like my first steps

Jill Scott in my iPod as my head rests yes

Just let me be me hmm

That's the only way I know

Just let me be me hmm

That's the only way I know

That's the only way I know how to hold it down

That's-that's the only way I know how to hold it down

And yeah I know I'm from Compton Cali'

But I don't lace up Chucks or rock tan khakis

And skinny jeans ain't quite the lick

I probably would wear 'em but my dick don't fit

Ha-ha-ha I like to joke got a sense of humor

Stale face play me short like an Oompa-Loompa

You ain't gotta screw up your face in front of the kids

Won't you lighten up like Michael did

I grew up with killers man people who killed man

But my character never could be like them man

And they respect that say that I'm real man

Not a fake person that's the Sims man

Live my life through some film man

I ain't acting out sh*t I be packing out shows

Cause they know they'll know Kendrick fo' sho' and oh

Just let me be me hmm

That's the only way I know

Just let me be me hmm

That's the only way I know

That's the only way I know how to hold it down

That's-that's the only way I know how to hold it down

Almost lost my life to the industry

Had to look through a photo book to remember me

These label heads ain't nothing but bullshit

Have you with professional killers chasing hits

Lying to yourself all over an image

Making records they want that was wrecking my brilliance
