Enjoy Life

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]

I'm the coolest nigga you know

Migrated from the North Pole when I was fo'

Infatuated with cartoons and G.I. Joes

'Till something more greater took a toll: life

Not really, more like white Air Nikes

Evidently, I had a fondness for material things

Ten years old, tryna get a 10K ring

I forgot it was for me when the phone ringed

Elementary girls callin' the house

Desiree and Cheryl mama end hustled what we talkin' about

I'm talkin' about the good old days when we walked without

Knowing that could be our last time walking out

Now we can't walk witout protection

Bein' on the defensive, life ills

This life will put you in a crazy world

Just by knowing crime will never cure

So I'm strapped like Girbaud jeans

I'd rather see the pen, like I was bowling

Rather than death, walkin' on heavy steps

It's a great place, but I ain't ready for Heaven yet

So I told God, put me at the back of the line

Matter fact yesterday, swear to God I ain't lyin'

Movin' at a turtle pace, 'cause the fast lane

Got a day one uncle with one in the brain

Got one in the chamber

Sixteen in the clip, my eyes fluttered with anger

Hip-hop tryna save my life

Give credit whenever it's due, the money touchin' the roof

Breakin' the ceiling, with that being, I'm breakin' the loot

With my loved ones, life way too short, son

[Verse 2: Jay Rock]

Sure is, gotta wake up

Like a bakery, I'm tryna get the cake up

Never know when the day come, so we live carefree

Party like it's 1999, cherish every breath that I breathe

Materialistic things, it won't mean shit when you leave

I ain't lyin', a nigga miss the good old days

Sippin' Kool-Aid, Mama let The O'Jays play

Nowadays, it seems like the end is near

'Cause babies killin' babies like Brenda did

Use ya head, mess around, lose ya wig

Age fifteen, shit, a nigga witnessed it

Walking home from school, just me and my team

Shots fired, I guess it wasn't meant for me

So I thank the man in the skies above

For his blessings until a nigga rise above

I'm fly as a dog, more dope than a drug

On the microphone, lemme kick the verse for y'all

Hip-Hop'll never die as long as we alive

Top Dawg E-N-T, haters don't even try

You don't wanna pay the price of a lyrical ass-whoopin', we'll let it fly

Watch your career go up in flames, let it fry

Watch it die, no get back, just sit back, enjoy the ride

Live like it's no tomorrow, enjoy life

[Verse 3: Ab-Soul]

I'm still reflectin' on the death of

Mission of the better

Only when it's necessary, if it's ever

See, ya'll can say whatever, but still it come together

I usually rip it down and let you sew it back together

Hip-Hop forever – fuck 'em and whoever fed up

And I wish a hex on whoever met 'em

I'm obsessed with objection

And I'd probably blame Common for my 'Resurrection'

"I Used To Love H.E.R." too

So when I'm in the booth, we do what lovers do

But I ain't stingy, let my niggas get a piece of her too

Another piece and I'm through

Probably tryna piece up with you

Niggas got some believin' to do

It starts now
