Untitled 08 (09.06.2014) Lyrics - Untitled Unmastered. - Kendrick Lamar

Why so sad? 

Walking around with them blue faces 

She said I'm down on my luck 

And it's something I gotta have 

Blue faces 

I hit the bank today and told them color me bad 

Blue faces 

Get that new money, and it's breaking me down honey 

Two tears in the bucket I cry with you 

But I could never lie with you 

I could never afford not to afford 

I could never put my plans to the side with you 

I could never see a red light 

Like a deer with a headlight 

I freeze up when I re-up 

See I barely have patience 

And you're relating 

Only the moment to complete us 

Why you hate to work for it? 

The reason I never went to work for it 

See a nine to five was so jive turkey 

But when Thanksgiving came that check didn't hurt me 

You plead the fifth 

I read the Fifth Amendment 

We both criminals with bad intentions 

They say time heals all 

But if I can shortcut 

My success, Corvettes by tomorrow

Why so sad? 

Walking around with them blue faces 

She said I'm down on my luck 

And it's something I gotta have 

Blue faces 

I hit the bank today and told them color me bad 

Blue faces 

Get that new money, and it's breaking me down honey 

My home girl got a credit card scam 

She got a scholarship to college but she don't give a damn 

Intuition she got a broke bitch wishin' 

She tell me this on the phone with the noodles in the pan 

I know you, woman, I console you, woman 

You feel like the universe owes you, woman 

Oh the anticipation, of hoping you could make it 

Bitches don't prosper chasing education 

But you're talented, and can't handle it 

And your homegirls can't be your manager 

365 times four, plus more 

If yan't get it right, tell me, do you got the stamina? 

But shit, ain't no money like fast money 

Even today I'm considered a crash dummy 

A rapper chasing stardom, how can I fast forward? 

My accolades better than all them 

Photos 

Why so sad? 

Walking around with them blue faces 

She said I'm down on my luck 

And it's something I gotta have 

Blue faces 

I hit the bank today and told them color me bad 

Blue faces 

Get that new money, and it's breaking me down honey 

I wrote this song looking at a broke home baby 

You know the poverty stricken the little broke boy and babies 

Somebody yell "Kendrick American, they sho' is crazy" 

And I said "why?" 

Then he looked me in the eye, and said "nigga you fucked up" 

You're banking on good luck, you wishing for miracles 

You never been through shit, you're crying hysterical 

You settle for everything, complain about everything 

You say you sold crack, my world amphetamine 

Your projects ain't shit, I live in a hut bitch 

I'm living to keep warm, you living to pay rent 

I paid my way through by waiting on Allah 

You played your way through, by living in sci-fi 

Bullshitting yourself, you talking to strangers 

Same thing goes for the ones you came with 

When y'all came on the boat looking for hope 

And all you can say is that you're looking for dope 

These days ain't no compromise 

And your pain ain't mines half the time 

A brand new excuse ain't shit to me 

Bitch I made my moves, with shackled feet 

Cape Town 

In today's day and age we practice the self pity of taking the easy way out 

You wait on them, him and her 

But when a blessing takes long, that's when you go wrong 

You selfish motherfucker 

Why so sad? 

Walking around with them blue faces 

She said I'm down on my luck 

And it's something I gotta have 

Blue faces 

I hit the bank today and told them color me bad 

Blue faces 

Get that new money, and it's breaking me down honey 

Pimp pimp hooray
