[Chorus]
2
There, there baby, it's just textbook stuff
3
It's in the ABC of growing up
4
There, there baby, it's just textbook stuff
5
It's in the ABC of growing up

[XV - Verse 1]
7
Yeah, three women raised me
8
Famous footwear paid me
9
Not enough to blow up but sure enough
10
Cause I aint f-cking lazy
11
If teachers thought I was dumb or crazy, or both
12
With hopes of being a Nas or Jay-Z, I smoked
13
In my chair, in my braids, my hair wasn't waves
14
Being fly was priority to the lowest
15
I would stand on my desk just to see the world in a different way
16
The dead society of a poet
17
Homie I'm focused but thats something that a dude can't prove
18
I mean fair, I was damn near invisible at school
19
So I banged for a minute cause all my -ggas was crippin'
20
Just me and two of my dudes, blue man group
21
Had dreams of doing things they said you can't do
22
Cause everything aint black and white, unless you chew bamboo
23
So I was after big bills like a toucan dude?
24
All the while my mamma asking why I'm chewing at school
25
She said
26
[Chorus]
27
[XV - Verse 2]
28
So why I aint go to college
29
My mammas ultimatum made me say that I know I got it
30
My -ggas said D's buggin'
31
Stay on your computer software de-buggin'
32
But we holding hardware cause we thuggin'
33
Now they in the trap house with some guns they dun borrowed
34
And all this snow, I call it empty sorrow
35
With plans to reach the end even if I had to start slow
36
Sold CD's in the mall making dough like Sbarro's
37
Then I left the hood, like f-ck it, don't need the cargo
38
They banking out on you well, and I don't mean Fargo
39
But even if you leave somehow it try to follow
40
Baby brother took a charge hotter than Lebron and Rondo
41
Tryna keep his head up while his eyes are in the bible
42
Cause they say your mind is idol, it's a devils toy aisle
43
My nephew looking at me cause his daddy is his idol
44
I told him sit down, this information is vital
45
Look
46
[Chorus]
47
[Kendrick Lamar - Verse 3]
48
Living my life like I'm living right in the midst of a fire pit
49
The gang banging and the violence is the sweetest song
50
In a room with the heart of a violin
51
Don't violate my patience, I'm waiting
52
To kill a man as I stare at the celiing fan
53
As a fan of these wicked streets
54
If I gotta eat, I steal like a metal peice
55
Screaming now, f-ck the police
56
I'm dealing my cards with jokers on 'em
57
You can disown him or stone him
58
I'm throwin' them rocks back with a flurry of bullets
59
You couldn't live your life for the moment
60
When I'm foaming at the mouth I'm as sharp as the teeth showing
61
I'm in the back of a black Buick, finna black out like February
62
Ay, thats how blacks do it right?
63
I cut off my ears before I hear your advice and vice versa
64
I'm screaming for help as loud as I can but thats not working
65
I'm working them corners like Blueprints
66
Then cut a L on my first offence
67
The judge threw the book at me than said this
68
[Chorus]
