Dna. Lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

I got, I got, I got, I got 

Loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA 

Cocaine quarter piece, got war and peace inside my DNA 

I got power, poison, pain and joy inside my DNA 

I got hustle though, ambition, flow, inside my DNA 

I was born like this, since one like this 

Immaculate conception 

I transform like this, perform like this 

Was Yeshua's new weapon 

I don't contemplate, I meditate, then off your fucking head 

This that put-the-kids-to-bed 

This that I got, I got, I got, I got 

Realness, I just kill shit 'cause it's in my DNA 

I got millions, I got riches buildin' in my DNA 

I got dark, I got evil, that rot inside my DNA 

I got off, I got troublesome, heart inside my DNA 

I just win again, then win again like Wimbledon, I serve 

Yeah that's him again, the sound that engine in is like a bird 

You see fireworks and Corvette tire skrrt the boulevard 

I know how you work, I know just who you are 

See you's a, you's a, you's a— 

Bitch, your hormones prolly switch inside your DNA 

Problem is, all that sucker shit inside your DNA 

Daddy prolly snitched, heritage inside your DNA 

Backbone don't exist, born outside a jellyfish, I gauge 

See my pedigree most definitely don't tolerate the front 

Shit I've been through prolly offend you 

This is Paula's oldest son 

I know murder, conviction, burners 

Boosters, burglars, ballers, dead, redemption 

Scholars, fathers dead with kids 

And I wish I was fed forgiveness 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, soldier's DNA 

Born inside the beast 

My expertise checked out in second grade 

When I was 9, on cell, motel, we didn't have nowhere to stay 

At 29, I've done so well, hit cartwheel in my estate 

And I'm gon' shine like I'm supposed to 

Antisocial, extrovert 

And excellent mean the extra work 

And absentness what the fuck you heard 

And pessimists never struck my nerve 

And that's a riff, gonna plead this case 

The reason my power's here on earth 

Salute the truth, when the prophet say

I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA 

This is why I say that hip hop has done more damage to young African Americans than racism in recent years 

I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA 

I live a better life, I'm rollin' several dice, fuck your life 

I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA 

I live a better, fuck your life 

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 

This is my heritage, all I'm inheritin' 

Money and power, the makin' of marriages 

Photos 

Tell me somethin' 

You mothafuckas can't tell me nothin' 

I'd rather die than to listen to you 

My DNA not for imitation 

Your DNA an abomination 

This how it is when you're in the Matrix 

Dodgin' bullets, reapin' what you sow 

And stackin' up the footage, livin' on the go 

And sleepin' in a villa 

Sippin' from a Grammy and walkin' in the buildin' 

Diamond in the ceilin', marble on the floors 

Beach inside the window, peekin' out the window 

Baby in the pool, godfather goals 

Only Lord knows, I've been goin' hammer 

Dodgin' paparazzi, freakin' through the cameras 

Eat at Four Daughters, Brock wearin' sandals 

Yoga on a Monday, stretchin' to Nirvana 

Watchin' all the snakes, curvin' all the fakes 

Phone never on, I don't conversate 

I don't compromise, I just penetrate 

Sex, money, murder, these are the breaks 

These are the times, level number 9 

Look up in the sky, 10 is on the way 

Sentence on the way, killings on the way 

Motherfucker, I got winners on the way 

You ain't shit without a body on your belt 

You ain't shit without a ticket on your plate 

You ain't sick enough to pull it on yourself 

You ain't rich enough to hit the lot and skate 

Tell me when destruction gonna be my fate 

Gonna be your fate, gonna be our fate 

Peace to the world, let it rotate 

Sex, money, murder, our DNA
