Determined - Kendrick Lamar.mp3

[00:00.784][Intro: Napoleon Hill]
[00:01.085]"I want to describe my discovery in the simplest terms possible
[00:05.677]because it will reveal to you why it is true
[00:08.274]that whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve
[00:13.645]regardless of how many times you have failed in the past
[00:17.033]or how lofty your aims and hopes may be"
[00:19.939][Kendrick Lamar]
[00:20.616]Go getter, with no cheddar
[00:22.344]Just a white tee and a swap meet sweater
[00:24.629]My life is likely to see great endeavors
[00:27.034]But I can't win if I can't get it together
[00:29.505]What I gotta do in order to see success?
[00:31.911]Having the world's best to call me the best
[00:34.314]Pull up at the Grammy Awards as best-dressed
[00:36.506]with an address next to a beautiful actress
[00:38.941]A dollar and a dream, I feel J. Cole
[00:41.241]Word to the hole in my pocket and the hoes
[00:43.644]that don't wanna **** with a broke nigga with ambition
[00:46.283]But the last I checked, y'all was broke bitches
[00:49.110]Make a name for myself
[00:50.019]then bubble like the ass of Buffy when she wearing a tight belt
[00:53.227]The homies on the block can say whatever they say
[00:55.505]I don't wanna be a killer, I wanna be a Gates
[00:57.300][Chorus: Ash Riser]
[00:57.644]Take your time, it'll come
[01:01.959]Just stay focussed and humble my son
[01:06.755]Show and prove, prove you're the one
[01:11.393]It's not about who's ****, it's who wants it the most
[01:16.202]So just go out and get it
[01:21.845]Go out and get it
[01:26.516]Go out and get it
[01:31.301]Go out and get it
[01:35.552][Kendrick Lamar]
[01:36.052]What I gotta do in order to see success?
[01:38.431]Having the world's best to call me the best
[01:40.802]Pull up at the Grammy Awards as best-dressed
[01:43.003]with an address next to a beautiful actress
[01:45.559]Do I gotta run in your spot and blasting?
[01:47.707]Better yet, rob the nearest Nix Check Ca*******ng
[01:50.269]Hear a hustle from a nigga that's constantly bragging
[01:52.719]Catch him at the light, snatch him out his Jeep wagon
[01:55.062]Or maybe I gotta hook up with Jose
[01:57.455]Cop five bricks of the yay, head to the Bay
[02:00.034]Area, or carry the birds to the gate
[02:02.192]Let the clips distribute the work all day
[02:04.923]Then come back home
[02:06.999]Every three weeks, flip three-to-six zones
[02:09.302]Homies on the block can say whatever they want
[02:11.645]I don't wanna be a dealer, I wanna be a Trump
[02:13.304]Donald that is
[02:13.768][Chorus]
[02:31.941][Kendrick Lamar - over chorus]
[02:33.021]And when I do it, I do it again, then I go back
[02:35.126]When I do it, I'll do it again, then I go back
[02:37.482]Thug it out, but for now I'm willing to dug it out
[02:40.659]I gotta grind, grind
[02:42.078][Kendrick Lamar]
[02:52.772]So welcome to the story of my life
[02:54.475]See I'm tryna get right off the shit that I write
[02:56.787]Make a fortune, buy some Porsches for my momma and the wife
[02:59.051]Pop's engine in this old school run tight!
[03:01.464]But as you listening to K. D-O-T
[03:03.582]Me and my girl split the bucket at KFC
[03:05.960]She listening to Drake and all I can say
[03:08.471]Damn, these niggas that much better than me?
[03:11.030]Baby, I don't think this is meant to be
[03:13.712]cause I'm always losing self-esteem
[03:15.955]She paused the iPhone, then said huh
[03:18.002]I repeated what I said, then she replied shut up
[03:20.539]You know you the best boy, you gotta keep doing it
[03:22.902]But don't forget when you do, just keep you in it
[03:25.270]And never listen to what the industry say
[03:27.539]Don't be a typical artist, be more like Jay
[03:30.008]Russell, Barry Gordy, Quincy Jones
[03:33.066]Bob Johnson, Sean Combs, L.A. Reid
[03:36.489]Young black entrepreneurs did what it took to succeed, yeah
[03:39.504]So I gotta see success
[03:42.034]I gotta make it off them Rosecrans steps
[03:44.380]Rising to the top like a soda shook up
[03:46.770]Bout to pop, and I'll pop on whoever's in my way
[03:49.081][Chorus]
[03:49.381][Kendrick Lamar - over chorus]

[03:57.257]I wanna live good
[04:02.221]Just wanna make my momma proud, y'know?
