Death Around the Corner

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]

I rather die on my motherfucking feet 'fore a nigga live on his knees

Twin Glocks in my palm, back against the wall, I'm ready for war

My enemies die slow when I ride, screaming "THUG LIFE," pistol in the sky

Remember me as a real nigga when I go

The Hennessy got me riding dirty with my crew, nigga, M-O-B

Pussy ass niggas better duck they tails

Niggas can't hide when my squad bail, nigga, we ballin'

Alizé and weed kept on callin', gotta get some more

Intoxicated, got almost had me falling, lemme hit the floor

World Wide MOB figures

I bet you all of my niggas ready to die, nigga

Can you feel me? World Wide MOB Figure

Don't even wear yo' strap, if you ain't ready to die, nigga

My attitude like "fuck it," middle finger towards the public

Bringing buckets to all my adversaries and I love it

My momma stress every night, telling me to slow down

I said "Momma, I'm in too deep, ain't no turning back now"

'Cause the niggas from the other side, they want me dead

Catch me slipping, roll up on me, put a hole in my head

And the chronic just to get me even more paranoid

Looking out the window, if they coming I'm ready for 'em

Just remember 2Pacalypse never ran from 'em

Ran to 'em, eyes open, with both guns dump'n

And 'til then, tell them motherfuckers to strap up

Guns blazing when they act up

[Hook]

I see death around the corner

I see death around the corner

I see death around the corner

I see death around the corner

I see death around the corner

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]

So I move way different than I used to

Eyes in back of my head, everything bulletproof

Walking out the house cautious

Circle round the block twice before my car park it

My allies despise my success so they got me watching my every step

No exaggeration, I know I can feel the reaper's breath

Hovering over me like a helicopter or a 747 on autopilot

All of my problems dissolve once I take control of my own destiny

Hop on my murder chart, overcome the odds

This goes out to all my dogs

Just holler if you hear me, like a Charger made by Dodge, made by Dodge

Just ask Pac what it's like to be ready every night

AK-47 by the window, aiming at car lights

For Makaveli, the MAC is ready to explode

On any motherfucker who curse his soul

Death around the corner

[Hook]

I see death around the corner

I see death around the corner

I see death around the corner

I see death around the corner

[Verse 3: Jay Rock]

I saw him near last week

In my Oldsmobile, some niggas try to blast me

So I cocked back the 4-5, no lie

Let my trigger finger fly, like "Nigga, nigga, die"

Close call, player haters wanna see me fall

I shows no mercy, you better be ready for war

Fuck the law, should I ride on my own two

No crew just see what this Mac-11 gon do

Plenty bodies gon' be dropping soon as I come through

Hop out, let it rip – head, slugs go threw

BOW-BOW-BOW-BOW, sound of my melody

"Murder, murder, kill, kill" – what them voices be telling me

Ever since a baby, a nigga was living crazy

Age 13, playing with heaters ready for beef like

You want it, you can get it anyway that you want it

Hit ya block, parents get smoked fast like marijuana

I trust no one everyday I'm watching my back

It's a well known fact that I see death around the corner
