I’ll tell you what I don’t believe in, can I do that? All right, I don’t believe in laws, or the system by any means, whatsoever. I try not to obey them at anytime. That's what I believe in not believing in.
So what keeps you alive?
Four big bottles of water a day, two packs of Marlboro Reds. And, uh, I don’t - what keeps me alive, shit. Music, I have to listen to music all day long. I'd say that keeps me going. I’m a pretty dark person, I’ve thought about ending it a million times. And I have to say that music keeps me here, by far, the main thing.
Thank you

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
Sitting in the studio thinking about which mood would go
Right now, freestyle or write down, whatever
It still'll come up clever, I just need to free my thoughts
And Lord knows that I know better, but I ain't perfect
I ain't seen too many churches or know them testament verses
You should either hear me now or go deaf
Or end up dead, die trying and know death
Might end up dead, swallow blood, swallow my breath
Fuck a funeral, just make sure you pay my music respect, nigga
I mean that from the bottom of my heart
You see my art is all I have
And victory tastes sweet, even when the enemy can throw salt
Still knock them out the park like a fucking tow car
Let bygones be bygones, but where I'm from
We buy guns and more guns to give to the young
I'm living the life of a nigga trapped, nigga
Inside the system all you envision is trap niggas
My uncle doing life inside prison; he wasn't wrapped too tight
He told me Rap about life, not rap niggas
That's why I'm shaking my head when you rap-dissin'
My stomach start turning, my nerves get to twitching
I start evaluating, then my final intuition
Is that you wishing a come up, would just come up
We used to beefing over turf, fuck beefing over a verse
Niggas dying, motherfuck a double entendre
And this is Comp-ton, lions in the land of the triumph
Wrap-Saran our defiance, ban our alliance
Put burners in the hands of the black man
One hood with 20 four-fours like a cloned Kobe Bryant
You probably heard I wanna be heard and wonder who I am
You probably even listened to Faith, and think I know Zion
But really I'm just caught in the loop, of understanding the truth
Because it seem like it's always clashing with science
I got a big fear of flying
My future so bright I'd probably go blind before I blink twice
I ain't lying
I swear to God, half of y'all just don't know Kendrick
The school of hard knocks, we was the first ones in attendance
You walking down the block, he got shot, you are no eye witness
You just mind your business
You just turn your head, kneel down and then tie your tennis
It's kind of scary, ain't it?
You can't act like no bitch, that only got Tyler Perry famous
Just let me explain this, why you pick up that stainless
Cause your pops wasn't anxious to see you and you hate it
So much you probably had your burner tucked at graduation
So if you see him on 'em bleachers then you kill him
Facing 25 to life with a murder charge
Your enemies was the prey and now you pray to God
I pray these bars get farther than Compton
And if our record never break, I still won’t break my promise
I promise to keep it honest
Secret society, all we ask is trust
And all we lack is communication like service sucks
The people scared of annihilation when Kingdom Come
And I'm like, The Kendrick Lamar OD in less than a month, all right?
Gotta keep it pushing
Can't let the government tell me how my future looking
I'm on Rosecrans and Central trying to duck the central bookins'
If the fucking pigs get behind me then you know I'm bookin'
Never will I surrender
I been a warrior when I came out my mom's placenta
In the gutter lane like I'm Master Splinter
How splendid, I guess my project had did it
Got all these niggas approaching they mixtapes different
They said seven tracks, I said 15
Called it an EP, they said I’m trippin'
But little did they know, I’m tryna' change the rules
That we’ve been confined to, so the corporate won’t make decisions
Uppity bitches handling business
Killing our dreams, stealing our vision
Out in Haiti, adolescents barely have a home
In LA everybody think they fucking on
Hop on Twitter, perpetrate we doing big shit
Who we hanging with and bragging about the iPhone
I swear to God most of y'all cats just don’t know Kendrick
You barely know yourself, so I guess most of y'all should be offended
Ain’t doing this for my health, I’m tryna' purchase my momma dem' Benzes
Occupying my time with riches, justifying my time ambitions
Just to coincide, just to go inside, plus we idolize why we living
Look, the mastermind took the master's mind
Just the perfect time, just to master mine
Just to match the grind with precision
Look, the mastermind took - (cough)
[Outro: Alori Joh]
We would like to call this an appreciation tape for those who recognized the Kendrick Lamar EP. For this is the Kendrick Lamar OD. Because of you we are Overly Dedicated

Reći ću vam u što ne vjerujem, mogu li to učiniti? U redu, ne vjerujem u zakone ili sustav na bilo koji način. Trudim se da ih se ne pokoravam u bilo kojem trenutku. To je ono u što vjerujem u ne vjerujući.
Pa što vas održava na životu?
Četiri velike boce vode dnevno, dva paketa Marlboro Redsa. I, uh, ne - ono što me održava na životu, sranje. Glazba, glazbu moram slušati cijeli dan. Rekao bih da me to nastavlja. Prilično sam mračna osoba, razmišljala sam o tome da to okončam milijun puta. I moram reći da me glazba drži ovdje, daleko, glavna stvar.
Hvala vam
[Stih: Kendrick Lamar]
Sjedeći u studiju razmišljajući o tome koje bi raspoloženje otišlo
Trenutno, slobodno ili zapišite, što god
I dalje će doći pametno, samo moram osloboditi svoje misli
I Gospodin zna da znam bolje, ali nisam savršen
Nisam vidio previše crkava ili ih poznajem stihove za testament
Trebali biste me sada čuti ili gluhi
Ili završiti mrtvi, umrijeti pokušavajući i znajte smrt
Moglo bi završiti mrtva, progutati krv, progutati mi dah
Jebi se sprovod, samo pobrinite se da poštujete moju glazbu, crnja
Mislim to iz srca
Vidite da je moja umjetnost sve što imam
A pobjeda ima ukus slatkog, čak i kad neprijatelj može baciti sol
I dalje ih izbacuje park poput jebenog automobila
Pusti beygenes da budu prošli, ali odakle sam iz
Kupujemo puške i više oružja koje ćemo dati mladima
Živim život crnje zarobljene, crnja
Unutar sustava sve što zamišljate su zamke crnje
Moj ujak radi život u zatvoru; Nije bio previše zamotan
Rekao mi je rap o životu, a ne rap crnjama
Zbog toga se odmahnem glavom kad si rap-dissin '
Trbuh mi se počinje okretati, živci mi se trzaju
Počinjem s ocjenjivanjem, a zatim i moja konačna intuicija
Je da biste željeli da se pojavi, samo bi se pojavio
Nekad smo se bacali travnjakom, jebali smo se po stihu
Crnje koje umiru, maketiraju dvostruki entender
A ovo je comp-ton, lavovi u zemlji trijumfa
Omot-saran naš prkos, zabranite naš savez
Stavite plamenike u ruke crnaca
Jedna kapuljača s 20 četiri-četiri poput kloniranog Kobea Bryant
Vjerojatno ste čuli da želim biti čuo i pitao se tko sam
Vjerojatno ste čak slušali vjeru i mislim da znam Sion
Ali stvarno sam samo uhvaćen u petlji, razumijevanje istine
Jer čini se da se uvijek sukobljava sa znanošću
Dobio sam veliki strah od letenja
Moja budućnost tako svijetla vjerojatno bih se zaslijepila prije nego što dva puta trepnem
Ne lažem
Kunem se Bogom, pola vas jednostavno ne poznaje Kendricka
Škola tvrdog kucanja, bili smo prvi koji su bili prisutni
Hodate niz blok, on je pucao, nisi svjedok očiju
Samo vam smeta svoj posao
Samo skreneš glavu, klekneš, a zatim veže tenis
Nekako je zastrašujuće, zar ne?
Ne možete se ponašati kao da nijedna kuja, to je samo Tyler Perry poznato
Samo da objasnim ovo, zašto pokupite to nehrđajuće
Jer vaši popovi nisu bili nestrpljivi da vas vide i mrziš to
Toliko ste vjerojatno imali svoj plamenik na diplomu
Dakle, ako ga vidite na izbjeljivačima Em, onda ga ubijate
Suočeni s 25 doživotnih s optužbom za ubojstvo
Vaši su neprijatelji bili plijen i sada se molite Bogu
Molim se da se ovi barovi postanu dalje od comptona
A ako se naš rekord nikad ne slomi, još uvijek neću prekršiti svoje obećanje
Obećavam da ću to biti iskreno
Tajno društvo, sve što tražimo je povjerenje
A sve što nam nedostaje je komunikacija poput usluge sranje
Ljudi su se uplašili od uništenja kad dođe kraljevstvo
A ja sam kao, Kendrick Lamar OD za manje od mjesec dana, u redu?
Moram ga nastaviti gurati
Ne mogu dopustiti da mi vlada kaže kako moja budućnost izgleda
Ja sam na Rosecrans -u i Central pokušavajući saviti središnje Boonins '
Ako jebene svinje izađu iza mene, onda znate da sam rezervirao
Nikad se neću predati
Bio sam ratnik kad sam izašao maminu posteljicu
U traci za oluke kao da sam glavni splinter
Kako je sjajno, pretpostavljam da je moj projekt to učinio
Dobili su sve ove crnje koje se približavaju, oni miješaju različito
Rekli su sedam pjesama, rekao sam 15
Nazvali su to EP -om, rekli su da se trošim
Ali malo su znali, pokušavam promijeniti pravila
Da smo bili ograničeni, tako da korporacija neće donositi odluke
Uppity kuje koje se bave poslovanjem
Ubijajući naše snove, kradu našu viziju
Na Haitiju, adolescenti jedva imaju dom
U la svi misle da se jebe
Skoči na twitter, počinimo da radimo velika sranja
S kim se družimo i hvalimo o iPhoneu
Kunem se Bogom Većina vas mačaka samo ne poznaje Kendricka
Jedva znate sebe, pa pretpostavljam da bi se većina vas trebala uvrijediti
Ne radim to za svoje zdravlje, pokušavam kupiti mamu dem 'benzes
Zauzimajući svoje vrijeme s bogatstvom, opravdavajući svoje vremenske ambicije
Samo da se podudaram, samo da uđemo unutra, plus idoliziramo zašto živimo
Gledaj, majstor je uzeo majstor
Samo savršeno vrijeme, samo za savladavanje svojih
Samo da se mljeve uskladi s preciznošću
Gledaj, Mastermind je uzeo - (kašalj)
[Outro: Alori Joh]
Željeli bismo to nazvati vrpcom za onima koji su prepoznali EP Kendrick Lamar. Za to je Kendrick Lamar OD. Zbog vas smo pretjerano posvećeni
