Professionelle Kendrick Lamar (Maad City, 2012) KI-Stimme für Content-Erstellung

Running through them streets again memory hit different now seeing faces flash past window like bullets through time man remember them days sitting on concrete steps watching life turn dark everybody got a story but ain't nobody telling truth straight up just living day by day survival mode.

Sitting in the back of that Impala, watching Compton pass by through tinted windows. Mama always told me watch them corners, but young minds don't listen when the streets calling. Summer heat got everybody outside, ice cream truck melody playing while little homies chase dreams.

You feel me, we all got these battles inside, day after day, spirit after spirit. But look deeper than what your eyes showing you. Every struggle got a lesson, every pain got a purpose, and that's real talk. Keep pushing, keep growing, keep evolving.

You know, when I write these verses, it's like I'm speaking directly to somebody's soul. Had a young brother come up to me saying my lyrics changed his whole perspective on life, and that's when I realized this music thing bigger than just me.

Running through the city with my mind on millions, five phones ringing different stories, different women. Black Benz parking lot thoughts, mama praying for me daily while I'm counting blessings nightly. Streets watching every move I make, but my vision crystal clear.

Ni watch me in these streets like vultures circlin', my people dying while the system keep workin'. Touch my family, that's a death wish, believe me, ain't no hesitation when it's time for the reaping. Blood on concrete tell stories that the news won't speak about.

I'm running through these thoughts like demons through my mind. You say love's the answer but pain's all I find. The streets keep calling while my soul keeps falling. I'm praying to the sky but the ground keeps crawling beneath me.

Man, let me tell you bout this music shit right here. I be in the studio, just vibing and creating, and I run it and I run it till it's perfect. You can't rush this process, feel me? That's the real shit, that's when you know it's authentic. I mastered this craft.
