[Intro]
Now I was raised
In a sandbox
Next to you and her
You was holding the handgun
She was giving birth
To a baby boy to be just like you
I wonder what's that worth
I wonder if you ever knew you was a role model to me first
The next day
I woke up in the morning seeing you on the news
Look up in the mirror
Realized I had something to prove
You told me "Don't be like me, just finish watching cartoons"
Which is funny now cause all I see is Wile E. Coyotes in the room (ironic)
[Hook]
Bow Bow Bow Bow(ironic)
Salt all in my wounds
Hear my tears all in my tomb
Let my life loose in this booth
Just for you, mothaf-cka, hope y'all amused
Bow Bow Bow Bow (ironic)
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
This shit make a nigga just wanna ride
Reminisce when I had the morning appetite
Apple Jacks, had nothing that I needed to be tied (?)
And the maniac the only thing that gave me piece of mind
I'm a maniac where ambulance and enemies allied (?)
Tell a story that I never glow at twenty-five
Not to worry, every warrior will come and see you fully
Young, that's a covenant I put on every tribe
Ain't nobody gonna tie your shoe
Nobody grew up by (by) your rule
Nobody horn your gun, how come, your tongue say killa then kill my mood
Life speed living in the world you know
Lit up a whole leaf, feeling like a live wire
Bet I put some new tires on a lighting bolt
Til' I wreck into a pole, like a right to vote
I am from the bottom of the jungle
Living in the bottom of the food chain
When you get a new chain, nigga take it from you
A new Dame, one stripe, and you a zebra look alike
Hope another homicide don't numb you a nun
Do things we'll never learn soon
And the error where we wanna earn soon
That's an error, you can smell it in the air
Everybody really doom
That's why I backed on you mothaf-ckas
All yall can suck my d!ck
All them days that the county buildings
I'm bout to make my momma rich
Cartoons and (cereal)
I ain't felt this (good since)
School mixed up (here we go)
Elementary hood shit

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
This shit make a nigga just wanna shit on everybody
Even with a pot to piss in
I'mma aim sloppy at a loud mouth, discharge
Dismiss any business of yours
Discounts never did amount to a check
That ya ass couldn't cash when the shit bounce
Everything dismounts, niggas gone flip that car
AKs for the whole hood
House lit went down perfect
Two shots to the head he deserved it
Overheard it hit my bed with a bowl and remote control
Dark winged up, lost service
Mama said I'd better duck, she's nervous
Drama hauled in the clutch, hit the curtains
I mean don't intervene with no drum machine
This block stay jerking, the feds stay lurkin'
Emerging on everbody corner (dash for it)
Get a toe tac, when you play tac with a task of a new (task force)
Everybody wanna know my life
How did I make it (past yours)
Well let me tell you like this
I've been running this shit since (I asked for it)
Cartoons and cereal

[Gunplay]
Salt all in my wounds
Hear my tears all in my tunes
Let my life loose in this booth just for you
Muf-cka hope y'all amused!
I did wrong, karma came
Crackers gave me ball and chain
Friends, enemies all the same
State, fed, both can hang
Nobody can mute me, but I never said nobody can shoot me
Just another stat to the white folks
Still whip work to the white yolk, absolutely!
Everyday feel like the one before
Hunt the money, don't hunt the ho
If you do what you always done
Then you get what you always got
You number fools!
I ain't seen the back of my eyelids
For about the past 72 hours
Hand on my heart, face to the hood
I pledge every word you heard was honest
Yeah this me, no mic
No cameras, no lights, just pain
Mama how much trauma cannot sustain?
Dirty money come with lots of stains
Road to riches come with lots of lames
Just another player with lots of game
Never had shit got lots of game
Just another player with lots of game..
Kendrick Lamar Cartoon & Cereal Lyrics
