Motherfucker I'm still right on time
Oh you thought you had me all figured out?
Take it from the horses mouth, you'll never understand me
I told you my Plan B is to you win your hearts before we win a Grammy
+These Days+ ain't shit changed: different toilet, same shit
and I drank a whole gallon of laxatives by accident just to shit on you has-beens
Hadn't it been for my past tense, I wouldn't be rappin'
See these streets made me, broke me down, built me up
drove me crazy, made me hungry, made you hate me, but FUCK love~!
It don't make dollars, it don't make sense/cents nigga!
By the way, that's DJ Quik nigga!
Respect or check it
+These Days+, I'm a little more focused cause y'all cracked the door
and I kicked it open, yellin' get the FUCK DOWN or I will shoot!
I TOLD YOU {*gunshots*} NOT TO MOTHAFUCKIN' MOVE!
Be another example
I'll take the whole industry hostage if I have to
I'll sabotage this game, a good kid? Yeah that's only in my mama's eyes
I seen a dead body at five and that shit made me traumatized
So +These Days+, a little blood on my hands ain't nothin' compared
to hoppin' out a minivan, with a mini 22 3's and the homie TuTu
and two more YGs - ohh nobody got time for that!
These days it's only time for rap!
So Herbert Anthony Stevens
You make or break bread before we break even
Before they broke our records we broke records and wrote pieces, of history
So +These Days+, these accolades that's meant for we
It's only truth that this shit was meant to be!
T.D.E!

Life's still a traffic jam
Life's still a traffic jam (life is still a traffic jam)
Life's still a traffic jam (life is still a traffic jam)
Life's still a traffic jam (life is still a traffic jam)
Life's still a traffic jam (ready to go)
Life's still a traffic jam (still ready to go)
Life's still a traffic jam (still ready to go)
Life's still a traffic jam
Life's still a traffic jam...

[Interlude: Ab-Soul]
Shit... what more did you expect? HiiiPower
For the most part, we go hard for the respect
I'm obviously ominous to my competition
and if I ain't better than Kendrick than nobody is then
We shared our life with you, shared our light with you even in the darkest of hours
In hopes that one day, just maybe, one day the world'll be ours
Ha, and now they look up to us like towers for rhyming like we had super powers
They should've never let us in these offices...
Knowin' good and goddamn well how well we've been duckin' officers
Laughin' at the scraps they offered us in the past
And now we toast champagne to the thirst we never had!
I had my ups and downs, but I always left right
Rest In Peace Alori Joh, Top Dawg, for life
And ohh yeah... Soul~!

"I watch that fire that we're gathered around
and see that it burns similar to the fire that is inside you..."
