Below, you will find the lyrics for I by Kendrick Lamar.
A peace of yours
A peace of mine
A peace of mind
One nation
Under a group
This is a world
Premiere
This is a world premiere
I done been through a whole lot
Trial, tribulation, but I know God
Satan wanna put me in a bow tie
Pray that the holy water don't go dry
Yay, yay
As I look around me
So many wanna down me
But an enemigo never drown me
In front of a dirty double mirror they found me
And I love myself
The world is a ghetto
With big guns and picket signs
I love myself
But it can do what it want whenever it want
I don't mind
I love myself
He said I gotta get up
Life is more than suicide
I love myself
One day at a time
Sun gonna shine
Everybody lookin' at you crazy
What you gonna do?
Lift up your head and keep moving
Or let the paranoia haunt you?
Peace to fashion police
I wear my heart
On my sleeve, let the runway start
You know the miserable do love company
What do you want from me and my scars?
Everybody lack confidence
Everybody lack confidence
How many times my potential was anonymous?
How many times the city making me promises?
So I promise this
I love myself
The world is a ghetto
With big guns and picket signs
I love myself
But it can do what it want whenever it want
I don't mind
I love myself
He said I gotta get up
Life is more than suicide
I love myself
One day at a time
Sun gonna shine
They wanna say it's a war outside
And a bomb in the street
And a gun in the hood
And a mob of police
And a rock on the corner
And a line full of fiend
And a bottle full of lean
And a model on a scheme yup
These days of frustration
Keep y'all on tuck and rotation
I duck these cold faces
Post up basis
Dreams of reality's peace
Blow steam in the face of the beast
The sky could fall down
The wind could cry now
The strong in me
I still smile
I love myself
The world is a ghetto
With big guns and picket signs
I love myself
But it can do what it want whenever it want
I don't mind
I love myself
He said I gotta get up
Life is more than suicide
I love myself
One day at a time
Sun gonna shine
Walk my bare feet
Walk my bare feet
Down, down valley deep
Down, down valley deep
Fi-fie-fo-fum
Fi-fie-fo-fum
My heart undone
My heart undone
I love myself
The world is a ghetto
With big guns and picket signs
I love myself
But it can do what it want whenever it want
I don't mind
I love myself
He said I gotta get up
Life is more than suicide
I love myself
One day at a time
Sun gonna shine
I went to war last night
With an automatic weapon
Don't nobody call a medic
I'mma do it till I get it right
Get it right
I went to war last night
Night, night, night, night, night, night
I've been dealing with depression
Ever since an adolescent
Duckin' every other blessin'
I can never see the message
I could never take the lead
I could never bob and weave
From a negative and letting them annihilate me
And it's evident I'm moving at a meteor speed
Finna run into a building
Lay my body in the street
Keep my money in the ceiling
Let my mama know I'm free
Give my story to the children
And a lesson they can read
And the glory to the feeling of the holy unseen
Seen enough
Make a scream
I love myself
I lost my head
I must misread what the good book said
Woes be me
It's a jungle inside
Give myself again
Till the well runs dry
