[00:00.000] 作词 : Kendrick Lamar
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Kendrick Lamar
[00:23.418] Load up the Pro Tools and press three
[00:25.548] Studio filled with Jack In The Box and Pepsis
[00:27.895] Niggas watchin' Worldstar videos, not the ESPYs
[00:31.201] Laughin' at B Pump, her stomach turnin', I get up and proceeded to write somethin'
[00:35.606] Ab-Soul in the corner mumblin' raps, fumblin' packs of Black & Milds
[00:39.288] Crumblin' kush 'til he cracked a smile
[00:41.798] His words legendary, wishin' I could rhyme like him
[00:44.551] Studied his style to define my pen
[00:47.007] That was back when the only goal was to get Jay Rock through the door
[00:50.066] Warner Brother Records, hope Naim Ali would let us know
[00:52.996] Was excited just to go to them label meetings
[00:55.863] Wasn't my record deal, but still, I couldn't believe it
[00:58.574] Me and Rock inside the booth hibernatin'
[01:00.819] It was simple math, if he made it, that mean I made it
[01:03.735] Everything I had was for the team, I remained patient
[01:06.807] Grindin' with my brothers, it was us against them, no one above us, bless our hearts
[01:10.623]
[01:10.874] Use your heart and not your eyes (Baby, just relax and ride)
[01:16.907] If you got time and I got time (Yeah, yeah)
[01:22.577] Free your thoughts and watch them fly
[01:28.551] Use your heart and not your eyes (Mm-hmm)
[01:34.386]
[01:34.637] [Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
[01:34.882] My nigga Dave had a champagne Acura
[01:37.209] A bunch of instrumentals I freestyled in the passenger
[01:39.847] That nigga wore several hats, a producer, a manager, director, and DJ
[01:43.797] A hothead squabblin', Bloods, Pirus, and Keeways
[01:47.010] For this little thing of ours we called TDE
[01:49.658] I watch you take some penitentiary chances to say the least
[01:52.537] Remember in the county building with MixedByAli
[01:55.535] We tried to freak the system just to make a couple ends meet
[01:58.456] That's my nigga for shit sure
[02:01.105] He brought Q over, but Q didn't rap, but he learned from our inspo
[02:04.331] We split Louisiana chicken riverboat special
[02:07.289] Sleepin' next to 02R consoles to be our refuge
[02:10.510] He was homeless and I left home
[02:13.209] Q said, "Dot, you won't be slept on, you the nigga to bet on" (Use your h—)
[02:16.630] Top had given us the million in the home lived in
[02:19.362] Hopin' that we see some millions, God bless our hearts
[02:22.444]
[02:22.698] Use your heart and not your eyes (Baby, just relax and ride)
[02:27.936] If you got time and I got time (Yeah, yeah)
[02:33.786] Free your thoughts and watch them fly
[02:39.715] Use your heart and not your eyes
[02:44.258]
[02:44.631] [Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
[02:46.057] Punch played Phil Jackson in my early practices
[02:48.678] Strategies on how to be great amongst the averages
[02:51.802] I picked his brain on what was ordained, highly collaborative
[02:55.076] Rep pushed the label the same, amongst the savages
[02:57.742] Moose kept my name in the function that he would run in
[03:00.779] TEEZ kept the vultures away from me that was comin'
[03:03.675] Sounwave let me borrow his clothes for shows as a hype man
[03:06.741] To cook up in this room 'til the night ends
[03:09.933] Time flies, I'm carryin' debates of a top five
[03:12.526] Buryin' my opps and allies
[03:14.365] But I'd done a half job communicatin' feelings of being stagnant
[03:18.297] Life was gettin' bigger than just rappin'
[03:20.891] The business, what I was lackin'
[03:22.321] Top used to record me back when it was poor me
[03:24.946] And now we at the round table for what assures me
[03:27.910] I guess my motivation was the yearnin' for independence
[03:31.140] Poured everything I had left in the family business
[03:34.135] Now it's about Kendrick, I wanna evolve, place my skillset as a Black exec'
[03:38.981] I jog my memory, knowin' Black Hippy didn't work 'cause of me
[03:42.540] Creatively, I moved on with new concepts in reach
[03:45.505] Top, remember all them sessions we would strategize
[03:48.256] To hit the streets, then come back, record three records? Ah
[03:51.652] To tell the truth, it ****ed me up when D-Man passed
[03:54.127] The motive was the condolences, but the pride crashed
[03:57.130] I had to bypass old mythologies I had
[04:00.067] Put my heart on display like it was an iMac
[04:03.383] To all my young niggas, let me be the demonstration
[04:06.110] How to conduct differences with a healthy conversation
[04:08.895] If that's your family, then handle it as such
[04:11.817] Don't let the socials gas you up or let emotions be your crutch
[04:14.928] Pick up the phone and bust it up before the history is lost
[04:17.674] Hand-to-handshake is good when you have a heart-to-heart
[04:20.731]
[04:21.034] Use your heart and not your eyes (Baby, just relax your mind)
[04:26.352] If you got time and I got time (Yeah, yeah)
[04:32.310] Free your thoughts and watch them fly
[04:38.131] Use your heart and not your eyes (Mm-hmm)
