Last Real Nigga Alive

Kendrick Lamar

Lord have mercy, Jesus Christ
He's just nice, he just slice like a ginsu
Look at the life that I been through
We the last real niggas alive, that's official

Let me tell you when it all started
Game dropped Documentary and made plenty enemies
It was a classic album, but prior to that
Guerilla Black debuted and put the city on wax
A lot of Biggie comparisons, we all was aware of them
But that wasn't my M. O., I just thought he was dope
Can't understand why Game would say his name in that manner
Many years went by, still no legitimate answer
Anyway, I put out a mixtape in 12th grade
Hub City threat, minor of the year, DJ Dave
And his brother designed, put together the music
Put it out to the people, the people said I was stupid
With the flow, went to the barbershop to show off my skills
Mike and Himey and some other cat said I was real
Himey was Games barber, the other cat made a statement
Saying that Game was his partner, so I gave him my tape
Said he'd play it for him, hoping that I'd get my big break
But never got a response.. Anyway
This nigga named Pop Gates came to my school with a camera
I freestyled on his DVD for a minute, then after
It hit the streets, I was known as K. Dot from Compton
Man, Hootie probably was the youngest out that was poppin'
But I didn't have a home yet, Hootie had? In me
Until I met Top Dawg, told Dave that he'd like to meet
Me at the studio, made me freestyle for an hour
Told me come back tomorrow, but I came back in an hour
Jay Rock was in the booth, recording his first mixtape
Was skeptical homie at first because he knew where I stayed
But we got over that, heard the beat, wrote a rap
Did our first collaboration on the Nephew track
He got signed months later, Warner Brothers
We started on his album, he wrote his rhymes on paper
Before Sidekicks became a modern day phone
Same time our buzz was generated from G Malone
He had a song called 200, White Lightnin, the streets loved it
Said that Sony had given him an unbelievable budget
Now that's a smart nigga, I'm tryna make my raps bigger than life
But not knowing how to market it right
Turned on the radio
Only cat new from the West Coast was playin' was Bishop
And by then this nigga' buzz was tremendous
In the lab, me and Rock tryna perfect our craft
What the fuck? Next thing you know, we came across
Lift me up
It was a hit
When I heard it
But all we had was the instrumental and the hook
But when
Rock jump on it for certain, it was to smash
Gave it to Julio, just to get his opinion
Next thing you know, the record was
Spinning

That was a good look, it set the coast on fire
Niggas in Garden projects presents Watts Riot
Then these rappers start hating, callin' up to the station
Ask why they record ain't playin', what you niggas complaining, about?
Shit was funny to us tho
Niggas hate to see a nigga from the bottom come up, yo
In the midst of the single poppin' and niggas tryna seek and destroy
I had a situation with Def Jam, premature
Shit went sour after Jay-Z left, but they didn't care
I was glad Jay-Z gave me respect
See I was young, fast-forward, hot dollah had the streets on lock
Far as radio play, obvious, he got a lot
Beefing’ with Daz Dilinger, Jay Rock spoke on it
Which in my opinion, I didn’t think the shit was impo’tant
But that’s a whole ‘nother story, we hit the lab with Game
And a few other names like Juice and Young, ya boy
Did the cypher freestyle and everybody’s like, wow
These Top Dawg niggas ‘bout to make noise
Surely, after Game took us on tour, I love you for that
But right after that, we didn’t see him no more
G Malone came with a smash hit with Akon
Mistah FAB battled Royce Nickel with napalm
Then everybody start to scream out the new West
And claim that West Coast legends don’t want to see him at best
I think that’s just an excuse, because their music ain't tight
Tell ‘em that Ab-soul said it, they can quote him twice
Then Crooked I came with Hip-Hop Weekly, killin’ the internet
But he has been a threat since Death row, then Roccett came about
And all I thought about was Ab-Soul 2Eleven too
It finally started to look like the West was makin’ moves
Western Union had the whole block boomin’ because of Snoop
Matter fact, Bad Lucc was my favorite about the group
Then? Problem? Took off, another Compton native
We both Compton niggas, but Compton still ain't made it
By this time, Jay Rock and All My Life hit the airwaves
We almost got into some major beef over Lil’ Wayne
That part I'ma leave out
There's certain things that the streets only should know about
Shout out to Nipsey
Bishop wins that game, then had a fight with X. O
That’s when I dropped C4 and had the critics mad at me
Because they didn’t see my views, grab the hottest album out and re-do it
That’s a goddamn power move stupid
You foolish, don’t know shit about this war shit
There's mo’ shit to wanting to be the king of the coast shit

Lord have mercy, Jesus Christ
He’s just nice, he just slice like a ginsu
Look at the life that I been through
We the last real niggas alive, that’s official
Lord have mercy, Jesus Christ
He’s just nice, he just slice like a ginsu
Look at the life that I been through
We the last real niggas alive, that’s official

So, two weeks ago I finally run into the nigga I gave my mixtape too
And said he was partners with Game
The nigga finally told me what he said
He said he didn't like it
But the niggas like
“See, see, look at you, look at you now, I tried to tell him you was tight”
Nigga probably never even gave it to him and shit
Shout out to everyone I forgot too
Young Thrub bang loose by the local
On my crew! Tyga and [?]
Big Steel and Eastwood Kboy
What's up with yo crippin ass nigga?
(DJ Williams my favorite white boy, Nigga)
Young Roscoe, where your brother at?
I want to go toe to toe in a freestyle battle nigga
I got 10 dollars on me, Wassup? I'm broke!
My nigga Sounwave
My in house producer, Best producer of the motherfucking west coast
Besides Terrance Martin, You all my two favorite nigga!
Terrance I'm waiting on you nigga
Nah I have been bored shit to tell you the truth, I'ma keep it funky
Ab-Soul, I know you mad at me nigga
But you know where ya rank is at in this rap shit nigga, You know nigga
You see the [?] Nigga
Schoolboy Q, Top Dawg affiliates
Of the casket drop, What's up!
Me and Rock just came from New York
Nipsey Hustle was out there, swear to God
Them niggas were in the studio, I just sat back and watched man
Niggas looked like the new west coast Razem
Vibes was like a magazine
Damn, I'm rapping again
Rappers do that sometimes but straight up niggas is crazy
Signing off, Kdot, I'm out
