Power Circle by Kendrick Lamar
[Intro: Rick Ross]
If Michael Jackson came alive right now
He�d ask you to smoke one for him
So in his honor�
(Lights)
[Verse 1: Rick Ross]
You niggas Spud Webb, comin� up short
Think you�re Dee Brown, jump if you want
I put it on my momma and her very last nerve
Ricky made off everything I deserved
The square root of a kilo is me nigga
The square root of a kilo is me nigga
Do the math, I�m a muthafuckin� G nigga
[Verse 2: Gunplay]
It�s all on me now, as you can see now
I�m gon� get this money and I will not be denied
Been shittin� on you fucks a long time, time to pee now
When you finish first they hate you worse, startin� to see now
I�m at the round table, where your seat at?
Where your plate? where your lobster? where your sea bass?
We ain�t never left, actin� like we back
You should see us now, taking pictures, acting like we rap
This the circle that�ll murk you, blackout, short circuit
Somebody show them square ass niggas the first exit
This here reserved for soldiers most definite
So watch what you say and where you step more carefully
If I fall in the field and ain�t no more air for me
Pour some on the ground and put one in the air for me
Tell my enemies �fuck �em�, they know already but fuck �em
Tell �em again with a middle finger and a chuckle (hahahaa)
You don�t know now nigga, nope, uh uh
This famous that�ll still throw copper
Cross so heavy crack the tabernacle
Fire the ganja back up
Throw some blow in my tobacco
Then crank the Lac up
One match left
This the last turn, Santeria candles in my sanctuary burn
I�ma earn �til the last court adjourn
�Til the last gavel drop, we gon� have it locked
We gon� have it locked (have it locked)
We gon� have it locked (have it locked)
[Verse 3: Stalley]
I�m part of the small percentage of niggas who make it out the ghetto
But niggas tried to pull me back cause misery loves company
It�s funny how they come for me when they see me living comfortably
But when I was broke and sleeping on floors they ain�t want nothing from me
My future�s so bright but my past so ugly
And I just try to correct it all but it all still haunts me
Tried to section off the past but it still haunts me
So I accept what got me here, reflecting in this rocking chair
All this space created, all that hard work it got me here
So what I look like, tellin� a nigga that I should be here
Power to the people so the people shouldn�t live in fear
And I�ll be that raising voice and tell the people treat us fair
Warring in the streets tell them soldiers to meet us there
Out in the open all alone I felt the coldest air
Secluded in my thoughts of fear
No one to talk to, no one there
Not even a voice, not even an ear
No one alive, no one to care
Now I got a power circle, now I�m on a power trip
And they calling me counterfeit cause I ain�t gave a coward shit
Stone me, throw me a pile of shit but you won�t pull me out of it
It�s funny how it comes full circle
Now they wanna be a part of the power circle
They wanna be a part of the power circle
[Bridge: Wale] (2x)
May the wind be at your back
May the bad be in your past
May the kids take all your good
And your wife have class
And you realize your goals
And what�s life without grind
Those niggas, yo niggas?
Hope them niggas real as mine
[Verse 4: Wale]
There�s a difference between underrated and hasn�t made it
Once you successful they relentlessly giving you hatred
There�s no applause for ya and success is hard for ya
There�s enemies, envy, but green my niggas lawnmower
And I�m on tour, Jordan, Tom Ford
And I ain�t thuggin�, they clappin� at me, a encore
Got a dark heart, bright mind, make women crazy
I give her D, I throw up two, I call that shit a safety
Shit is crazy when entertainment aint entertaining
