| [00:00.580] |
We on? |
| [00:01.890] |
Aight |
| [00:02.640] |
|
| [00:03.580] |
1, 2, 3, go! |
| [00:05.360] |
|
| [00:06.860] |
Waking up in a dream |
| [00:07.860] |
Sleepwalking on another big stage |
| [00:10.300] |
You never heard peace |
| [00:11.420] |
'til you hear people scream |
| [00:12.550] |
Your name and your song, |
| [00:13.680] |
I'm so far away |
| [00:14.610] |
From the place I used to be, |
| [00:16.000] |
struggling usually |
| [00:16.320] |
Look at the newer me, |
| [00:17.750] |
fate pursuing me |
| [00:19.030] |
I can feel the energy in the air |
| [00:21.220] |
It feel like |
| [00:22.160] |
I'm supposed to be here |
| [00:23.560] |
Everywhere I go |
| [00:24.630] |
I'm getting so much love |
| [00:25.750] |
Fans, the stars, everyone |
| [00:26.940] |
Sayin how they |
| [00:28.880] |
can't wait for the LP |
| [00:30.070] |
And I'm gonna blow |
| [00:31.380] |
They believe in me |
| [00:32.690] |
Feel so good in what you do |
| [00:34.610] |
Helps somebody else get through |
| [00:37.110] |
That's why I do the best I can |
| [00:39.360] |
Because I know how blessed I am |
| [00:41.740] |
I'm so high |
| [00:43.170] |
I can touch the sky |
| [00:44.820] |
|
| [00:45.440] |
I know it's my time |
| [00:47.630] |
And it's now or never |
| [00:49.810] |
|
| [00:50.320] |
Shine so bright, |
| [00:52.060] |
I light the night |
| [00:54.410] |
And it feels so right, |
| [00:56.530] |
ain't nothing better |
| [00:58.970] |
|
| [00:59.910] |
A fool if |
| [01:00.600] |
I take it all for granted |
| [01:02.030] |
A smart man |
| [01:02.660] |
if I keep my feet planted |
| [01:04.000] |
To the earth cause the people |
| [01:05.320] |
that hurt can understand it |
| [01:06.190] |
You speakin' outlandish |
| [01:06.630] |
I'm a show you |
| [01:07.690] |
how to make it all work |
| [01:08.820] |
Another plan, |
| [01:09.130] |
it a short term goal for me |
| [01:10.880] |
A record sold for me |
| [01:12.000] |
It's just more of me in your ear |
| [01:13.750] |
For you to hear Kendrick persevere |
| [01:15.410] |
Defenses I feel relentless |
| [01:17.540] |
Ambition with a clear vision |
| [01:19.350] |
Takin' off I ain't |
| [01:20.470] |
takin off these Pistons |
| [01:21.350] |
I'm takin' off on |
| [01:22.540] |
the inner me |
| [01:23.410] |
you're distance |
| [01:23.880] |
Came across me, |
| [01:24.820] |
how much it'a cost me |
| [01:26.000] |
To get you out my business |
| [01:27.250] |
I set a plan, |
| [01:28.310] |
it's a short term goal, |
| [01:29.500] |
no sky is the limit |
| [01:30.500] |
I'm past that, now pass that |
| [01:31.790] |
Award, not one but four |
| [01:33.600] |
Times two plus yours |
| [01:35.220] |
I see myself performing there, K.dot |
| [01:37.790] |
Sold out shows |
| [01:38.470] |
where the room is packed |
| [01:39.530] |
Sitting at the Grammy's |
| [01:40.720] |
winning five awards |
| [01:41.660] |
See myself on big billboards |
| [01:44.070] |
Traveling around the world |
| [01:45.380] |
with endorsement deals |
| [01:46.250] |
Can't imagine how it feels |
| [01:48.330] |
That's why I'm smiling everyday |
| [01:50.830] |
Because my dream ain't far away |
| [01:52.710] |
|
| [01:53.390] |
I'm so high |
| [01:54.790] |
I can touch the sky |
| [01:56.970] |
I know it's my time |
| [01:59.160] |
And it's now or never |
| [02:01.850] |
Shine so bright, |
| [02:03.660] |
I light the night |
| [02:05.820] |
And it feels so right, |
| [02:08.080] |
ain't nothing better |
| [02:10.270] |
|
| [02:11.150] |
You looking at me |
| [02:12.080] |
and you tell me I'm blessed |
| [02:13.150] |
Calculated my steps, |
| [02:13.830] |
my heart, my breath |
| [02:15.160] |
Breathe hums? |
| [02:15.850] |
of a victory and vividly |
| [02:16.850] |
You see me when at my best, |
| [02:18.350] |
my worst |
| [02:18.910] |
This verse dedicated |
| [02:19.730] |
to the days that I slept |
| [02:21.290] |
With a curse research |
| [02:22.220] |
my paid dues I'm reimbursed |
| [02:23.350] |
I burst in the crowd |
| [02:24.760] |
with a voice and crown |
| [02:26.220] |
I'm a King on the prowl |
| [02:27.660] |
and I see mama smile? |
| [02:28.730] |
And I vow on the tape |
| [02:29.990] |
that I'll never break |
| [02:30.740] |
You can break bread with me now |
| [02:32.110] |
We can all take a bow |
| [02:33.240] |
on the edge of the pedestal |
| [02:34.210] |
Then scream out loud |
| [02:35.520] |
that we made it off the avenue |
| [02:36.900] |
And walked that mile |
| [02:37.710] |
In the darkness |
| [02:38.270] |
I often sit back |
| [02:39.210] |
And get lost |
| [02:39.900] |
in the rap that I wrote |
| [02:41.090] |
When you told me |
| [02:41.830] |
that it spoke to your soul |
| [02:42.770] |
I was talking to you |
| [02:43.590] |
I was walking it |
| [02:44.180] |
through every ghetto |
| [02:45.180] |
Tell success hello |
| [02:46.620] |
We here |
| [02:47.620] |
And I'm so happy I cry |
| [02:49.800] |
Cause I can't believe |
| [02:51.740] |
All the things I ever wanted |
| [02:54.050] |
Are finally happening for me |
| [02:56.930] |
And it's so surreal |
| [02:58.490] |
That I almost feel |
| [03:00.550] |
That any minute I can wake up |
| [03:03.090] |
From this fantasy |
| [03:04.270] |
When you pray so hard |
| [03:07.020] |
|
| [03:07.520] |
And you've come so far |
| [03:09.550] |
And you know that |
| [03:10.930] |
it's the time |
| [03:11.870] |
for you lift your bar |
| [03:13.800] |
|
| [03:14.490] |
And I'm gonna do it |
| [03:17.120] |
|
| [03:17.800] |
Watch me! |
| [03:18.430] |
I'm so high |
| [03:19.800] |
I can touch the sky |
| [03:21.990] |
I know it's my time |
| [03:24.440] |
And it's now or never |
| [03:26.380] |
|
| [03:26.940] |
Shine so bright, |
| [03:28.880] |
I light the night |
| [03:31.070] |
And it feels so right, |
| [03:32.760] |
|
| [03:33.320] |
ain't nothing better |
| [03:35.410] |
|
| [03:36.160] |
I'm so high |
| [03:37.910] |
I can touch the sky |
| [03:39.910] |
I know it's my time |
| [03:42.350] |
And it's now or never |
| [03:44.880] |
Shine so bright, |
| [03:46.750] |
I light the night |
| [03:48.940] |
And it feels so right, |
| [03:51.200] |
ain't nothing better |
