I do what I wanna do
+
I say what I wanna say
+
When I feel, and I
+
Look in the mirror and know I'm there
+
With my hands in the air
+
I'm proud to say yeah
+
I'm real, I'm real, I'm really, really real
+
I'm real, I'm real, I'm really, really, real
+
I'm real, I'm real, I'm really, really, real
+
I'm real, I'm real, I'm really, really, real
+
I promise that I know you very well
+
Your eyes never lie even if they tell
+
Sweet lullabies that come with a smell
+
Of a dozen roses flippin' down the green hill
+
You living in a world that come with plan B
+
'Cause plan A never relay a guarantee
+
And plan C never could say just what it was
+
And your plans only can pan around love
+
You love him, you love them, you love her
+
You love so much, you love when love hurts
+
You love red-bottom and gold they say queen
+
You love hand-bag on the waist of your jean
+
You love french tip and trip that pay for
+
You love bank slip that tell you we paid more
+
You love a good hand whenever the card dealt
+
But what love got to do with it when you don't love yourself?
+
I do what I wanna do
+
I say what I wanna say
+
When I feel, and I
+
Look in the mirror and know I'm there
+
With my hands in the air
+
I'm proud to say yeah
+
I'm real, I'm real, I'm really, really, real
+
I'm real, I'm real, I'm really, really, real
+
I'm real, I'm real, I'm really, really, real
+
I'm real, I'm real ('cause before you know it, everything's gone)
+
I promise that I know you very well
+
Your eyes never lie even if they fell
+
Out the sky and your optics turn stale
+
Where they mold that's green
+
I can see you fit the bill
+
Of living in a world that come with Plan B
+
'Cause Plan A only can make another mistake
+
And you can't see success coming from plan C
+
When it all breaks you, you still say you're lovely
+
And love them and love when you love her
+
You love so much, you love when love hurts
+
You love fast cars and dead presidents old
+
You love fast women
+
You love keepin' control
+
Of everything you love, you love beef
+
You love streets, you love runnin', duckin' police
+
You love your hood, might even love it to death
+
But what love got to do with it when you don't love yourself?
+
I do what I wanna do
+
I say what I wanna say
+
When I feel, and I
+
Look in the mirror and know I'm there
+
With my hands in the air
+
I'm proud to say yeah
+
I'm real, I'm real, I'm really, really, real
+
I'm real, I'm real, I'm really, really, real
+
I'm real, I'm real, I'm really, really, real
+
I'm real, I'm real ('cause before you know it, everything's gone)
+
The reason why I know you very well
+
'Cause we have the same eyes can't you tell?
+
The days I tried to cover up and conceal
+
My pride, it only made it harder for me to deal
+
When living in a that come with plan B
+
A scapegoat 'cause plan A don't come free
+
And plan C just an excuse like because
+
Or the word "but", but what if I got love
+
I love them, I love when I love her
+
I love so much, I love when love hurts
+
I love first verse 'cause you're the girl I attract
+
I love second verse 'cause your the homie that packed
+
Burning like a stove top, they love cooking from scratch
+
I love what the both of you have to offer
+
In fact, I love it so much
+
I don't love anything else
+
But what love got to do with it when I don't love myself?
+
To the point I should hate everything I do love
+
Should I hate living my life inside the club?
+
Should I hate her for watching me for that reason?
+
Should I hate him for telling me that I'm seizin'?
+
Should I hate them for telling me ball out?
+
Should I hate street credibility I'm talkin' 'bout
+
Hatin' all money, power, respect in my will
+
Or hatin' the fact that none of that shit make me real?
+
Dot, I ain't trippin' off them dominoes no more
+
Just calling
+
Sorry to hear what happened to your homeboy
+
But don't learn the hard way like I did, homie
+
Any nigga can kill a man, that don't make you a real nigga
+
Real is responsibility
+
Real is taking care of your motherf*cking family
+
Real is God, nigga
+
I do what I wanna do
+
I say what I wanna say
+
When I feel, and I
+
Look in the mirror and know I'm there
+
With my hands in the air
+
I'm proud to say yeah
+
I'm real, I'm real, I'm really, really, real
+
I'm real, I'm real, I'm really, really, real
+
I'm real, I'm real, I'm really, really, real
+
I'm real, I'm real
+
('Cause before you know it, everything's gone)
+
Alright, that's all I wanted to tell you
+
Just make sure you call us back when you get this message
+
Here go your mama
+
Boy, you better have my car on full all this time
+
You done had my damn car, but look I ain't trippin'
+
Look, the neighbors say they seen you and your little friends
+
Over there by Food for Less and they was preaching to you
+
Over there telling you about the good book
+
'Cause right about now that's what ya'll need
+
Oh, and Top Dawg called the house too
+
I guess he want you and Dave to come to the studio
+
Now look, you take that music business serious, yeah
+
Put out something me and your dad can step to
+
Shit, you know we from Chicago, you know that's what we do
+
Sing my song, it's all for you
+
Sing my song, it's all for you

Sing my song, it's all for you

Sing my song, it's all for you
+
Sing my song, it's all for you
+
Sing my song, it's all for you
+
If I don't hear from you by tomorrow
+
I hope you come back and learn from your mistakes
+
Come back a man
+
Tell your story to these black and brown kids in Compton
+
Let 'em know you was just like them
+
But you still rose from that dark place of violence
+
Becoming a positive person, but when you do make it
+
Give back with your words of encouragement
+
And that's the best way to give back, to your city
+
And I love you Kendrick
+
If I don't hear you knocking on the door
+
You know where I usually leave the key
+
Alright? Talk to you later, bye
+
