Control Lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

I look up 

Yeah and I take my time 

I'ma take my time, whoa 

Power moves only, nigga 

Boy I'm 'bout my business on business, I drink liquor on liquor 

I had women on women, yeah that's bunk bed bitches 

I've done lived more than an eighty year old man still kickin' 

Cause they live for some moments, and I live for a livin' 

But this for the girls that barely let me get to first base 

On some ground ball shit 

Cause now I run my city on some town hall shit 

They prayin' on my motherfuckin' downfall bitch like a drought but 

You gon' get this rain like it's May weather, G.O.O.D. Music, Ye weather 

Champagne just tastes better, they told me I never boy, never say never 

Swear flow special like an infant's first steps 

I got paid to reverse debts 

Then I finally found a girl that reverse stress 

So now I'm talkin' to the reaper to reverse death 

So I can kick it with my granddad, take him for a ride 

Show him I made somethin' out myself and not just tried 

Show him the house I bought the fam, let him tour inside 

No matter how far ahead I get, I always feel behind 

In my mind, but fuck tryin' and not doin' 

Cause not doin' is somethin' a nigga not doin' 

I said fuck tryin' and not doin' 

Cause not doin' is somethin' a nigga not doin' 

I grew up to Em, B.I.G. and Pac bitch, and got ruined 

So until I got the same crib B.I.G. had in that Juicy vid 

I can't motherfuckin' stop movin' 

Go against me, you won't stop losin' 

From the city where every month is May-Day at home, spray your dome 

Niggas get sprayed up like AK was cologne for a paycheck or loan 

Yeah I know that shit ain't fair 

They say that Detroit ain't got a chance, we ain't even got a mayor 

You write your name with a Sharpie, I write mine in stone 

I knew that the world was for the taking and it wouldn't take long 

We on, tryna be better than everybody that's better than everybody 

Rep Detroit, everybody, Detroit versus everybody 

I'm so fuckin' first class, I could spit up on every pilot 

The city's my Metropolis, feel it, it's metabolic 

And I'm over niggas sayin' they're the hottest niggas 

Then run to the hottest niggas just to stay hot 

I'm one of the hottest because I flame drop 

Drop fire, and not because I'm name dropping, Hall of Fame droppin' 

And I ain't takin' shit from nobody unless they're OG's 

Cause that ain't the way of an OG 

So I G-O collect more G's, every dollar 

Never changed though, I'm just the new version of old me 

Forever hot headed but never got cold feet 

Got up in the game won't look back at my old seats 

Clique so deep we take up the whole street 

I need a bitch so bad that she take up my whole week, Sean Don 

Miscellaneous minds are never explainin' their minds 

Devilish grin for my alias aliens to respond 

Peddlin' sin, thinkin' maybe when you get old you realize 

I'm not gonna fold or demise 

(I don't smoke crack, motherfucker I sell it!) 

Bitch, everything I rap is a quarter piece to your melon 

So if you have a relapse, just relax and pop in my disc 

Don't pop me no fucking pill, I'mma a pop you and give you this

Watch Cardi B Joins James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

Tell Flex to drop a bomb on this shit 

So many bombs, ring the alarm like Vietnam in this shit 

So many bombs, make Farrakhan think Saddam in this bitch 

One at a time, I line 'em up and bomb on they mom while she watchin' the kids 

I'm in a destruction mode if the gold exists 

I'm important like the pope, I'm a muslim on pork 

I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the king of New York 

King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both 

The juggernaut's all in your jugular, you take me for jokes 

Live in the basement, church pews and funeral faces 

Cartier bracelets for my women friends I'm in Vegas 

Who the fuck y'all thought it's supposed to be? 

If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin' me 

I'm uncoachable, I'm unsociable 

Fuck y'all clubs, fuck y'all pictures, your Instagram can gobble these nuts 

Gobble dick up 'til you hiccup, my big homie Kurupt 

This the same flow that put the rap game on a crutch 

I've seen niggas transform like villain Decepticons 

Mollies'll prolly turn these niggas to fuckin' Lindsay Lohan 

A bunch of rich ass white girls lookin' for parties 

Playin with Barbies, wreck the Porsche before you give 'em the car key 

Judgement to the monarchy, blessings to Paul McCartney 

You called me a black Beatle, I'm either that or a Marley 

(I don't smoke crack motherfucker I sell it) 

I'm dressed in all black, this is not for the fan of Elvis 

I'm aimin' straight for your pelvis, you can't stomach me 

You plan on stumpin' me? Bitch I've been jumped before you put a gun on me 

Bitch I put one on yours, I'm Sean Connery 

James Bonding with none of you niggas, climbing 100 mil in front of me 

And I'm gonna get it even if you're in the way 

And if you're in it, better run for Pete's sake 

I heard the barbershops spittin' great debates all the time 

Bout who's the best MC? Kendrick, Jigga and Nas 

Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y'all 

New niggas just new niggas, don't get involved 

And I ain't rockin no more designer shit 

White T's and Nike Cortez, this is red Corvettes anonymous 

I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin' wit 

But this is hip hop and them niggas should know what time it is 

And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale 

Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake 

Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller 

I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you niggas 

Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas 

They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas 

What is competition? I'm tryna raise the bar high 

Who tryna jump and get it? You better off tryna skydive 

Out the exit window of 5 G5's with 5 grand 

With your granddad as the pilot he drunk as fuck tryna land 

With the hand full of arthritis and popping prosthetic leg 

Bumpin Pac in the cockpit so the shit that pops in his head 

Is an option of violence, someone heard the stewardess said 

That your parachute is a latex condom hooked to a dread
