[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]

   

 
One of these l

ives, I'ma mak

e things right

With the wrongs I've done, that's when I unite
            
With the Fathe

              
r, Son, 'til t


hen, I fight
 
Rain on me, pu

t the blame on

 me
 
Got guilt, got

 hurt, got sha

me on me
     
Got six magazi

nes that's aim

ed at me

Done every magazine, what's fame to me?
            
It's a game to

              
 me, where the

  
 bedroom at?
 
Sleep, I ain't

 nevеr had aff

airs with that
        
What's fair wh

en the hearts 

and thе words 

don't reach?
        
What's fair wh

en the money d

on't take thin

gs back?

It's rare when somebody take your dreams back
            
I care too muc

             
h, wanna share

              
 too much, in 

    
my head too mu

ch
              
I shut down to

             
o, I ain't the


re too much
              
I'm a complex 

            
soul, they lay

ered me up

Then broke me down, and morality's dust, I lack in trust
            
This time arou

        
nd, I trust my

self
  
Please everybo

dy else but my

self
 
All else fails

, I was myself
 
Outdone fear, 

outdone myself

This year, you better one yourself
            
Masks on the b

        
abies, mask on

 an opp
      
Wear masks in 

the neighborho

od stores you 

shop
       
But a mask won

't hide who yo

u are inside
        
Look around, t

he reality's c

arved in lies

Wipe my ego, dodge my pride
            
Look myself in

      
 the mirror
      
Amityville, I 

ain't seen not

hin' scarier
            
I fought like 

              
a pitbull terr

              
ier, blood I s


hed could fill

 up aquariums

Tell all my angels, "Carry 'em"
            
Every emotion 

        
been deprived
 
Even my strong

 points couldn

't survive
              
If I didn't le

              
arn to love my

              
self, forgive 

              
myself a hundr

           
ed times, dawg

You said it's

I came up out my flesh

must confess
             
Spoke my truth

           
, paid my debt
              
Can't you see 

       
I'm a wreck?
              
Let me loose, 

     
I digress

This is me, and I'm blessed

This is me, and I'm blessed

This is me, and I'm blessed

This is me, and I'm blessed
