DNA. - Kendrick Lamar

I got, I got, I got, I got

Loyalty, got royalty

Inside my DNA

Cocaine quarter piece, got war and peace

Inside my DNA

I got power, poison, pain and joy

Inside my DNA

I got hustle, though, ambition, flow

Inside my DNA

I was born like this, since one like this, immaculate conception

I transform like this, perform like this, was Yeshua's new weapon

I don't contemplate, I meditate, then off your fucking head

This that put-the-kids-to-bed, this that

I got, I got, I got, I got

Realness, I just kill shit

'Cause it's in my DNA

I got millions, I got riches

Buildin' in my DNA

I got dark, I got evil, that rot

Inside my DNA

I got off, I got troublesome heart

Inside my DNA

I just win again, then win again like Wimbledon, I serve

Yeah, that's him again, the sound that engine in is like a bird

You see fireworks and Corvette tire skrrt the boulevard

I know how you work, I know just who you are

See, you's a, you's a, you's a bitch

Your hormones prolly switch

Inside your DNA

Problem is, all that sucker shit

Inside your DNA

Daddy prolly snitched, heritage

Inside your DNA

Backbone don't exist

Born onside a jellyfish, I gauge

See, my pedigree most definitely don't tolerate the front

Shit I've been through prolly offend you

This is Paula's oldest son

I know murder, conviction

Burners, boosters, burglars, ballers, dead, redemption

Scholars, fathers dead with kids

And I wish I was fed forgiveness

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, soldier's DNA

Born inside the beast

My expertise checked out in second grade

When I was nine, on cell, motel, we didn't have nowhere to stay

At twenty-nine, I've done so well, hit cartwheel in my estate

And I'm gon' shine like I'm supposed to antisocial, extrovert

And excellent mean the extra work

And absent-ness what the f*ck you heard

And pessimists never struck my nerve

And that's a riff, gonna plead this case

The reason my power's here on earth

Salute the truth, when the prophet say

I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA

(This is why I say that Hip-Hop has done more damage)

(To young African-Americans than racism in recent years)

I live a better, f*ck your life

(Five, four, three, two, one) this is my heritage, all I'm inheritin'

Money and power, the makin' of marriages

Tell me somethin'

You mothafuckas can't tell me nothin'

I'd rather die than to listen to you

My DNA not for imitation

Your DNA an abomination

This how it is when you're in the Matrix

Dodgin' bullets, reapin' what you sow

And stackin' up the footage, livin' on the go

And sleepin' in a Villa

Sippin' from a Grammy and walkin' in the buildin'

Diamond in the ceilin', marble on the floors

Beach inside the window, peekin' out the window

Baby in the pool, Godfather goals, only Lord knows

I've been goin' hammer, dodgin' paparazzi, freakin' through the cameras

Eat at Four Daughters, Brock wearin' sandals

Yoga on a Monday, stretchin' to Nirvana

Watchin' all the snakes, curvin' all the fakes

Phone never on, I don't conversate

I don't compromise, I just penetrate

Sex, money, murder, these are the breaks

These are the times, level number nine

Look up in the sky, ten is on the way

Sentence on the way, killings on the way

Motherfucker, I got winners on the way

You ain't shit without a body on your belt

You ain't shit without a ticket on your plate

You ain't sick enough to pull it on yourself

You ain't rich enough to hit the lot and skate

Tell me when destruction gonna be my fate

Gonna be your fate, gonna be our faith

Peace to the world, let it rotate

Sex, money, murder, our DNA
