Malcolm X

English translation

Yeah.

King K, boy.

Kendrick Lamar.

I'm on that Division Boy,

High Power TD shit, yo.

You dig?

With no struggle, there's no progress.

I make 'em feel it in the hood to the projects. And I'm riding down the path up to success.

You know them haters send them shots, but I took that. By any means necessary, nigga, I'ma get it.

Fall down and get up, guaranteed I ain't quittin'.

So victory's the only outcome. Heart of a lion with the mind of Malcolm.

-Yeah -Look, they say great minds think alike -Uh, it's time -Well I'ma think like Malcolm and Martin -before I even think to write. -Yeah

I'm tryna have more good days than evil nights.

No matter what they say, my people -ain't got equal rights. -Come on

Hope we get wiser and be better individuals -Yeah -But all we have is funerals and -candlelight visuals -Damn

And gangbangin' and pimpin' is like a ritual.

Lyin' ass rappers, I'm tellin' you officially.

Classes said K get depth, so I'm thinkin' more -Yeah -I need answers, so I'm knockin' at the -preacher's door -Where he at?

Told me never look back, so I proceed forward -Forward -I'm the hope for these niggas in the streets that ball. Some niggas pulled up on me and tried to test mine.

Shot my car -up, I wasn't thinkin' with my best mind -Nah -But my faith in God became my Teflon -Yeah

That's why I cherish every moment and don't waste time

With no struggle, there's no progress.

I make 'em feel it in the hood to the projects. And I'm riding down the path up to success.

You know them haters send them shots, but I took that. By any means necessary, nigga, I'ma get it.

Fall down and get up, guaranteed I ain't quittin'.

So victory's the only outcome. Heart of a lion with the mind of Malcolm. Yeah

I said they tryna cop some G shit some more.

Flow China white like a sheep in the snow. I go deep as the Bible, I can debate with the Pope.

And you rappers go downhill like a ski on a slope.

I be on the bulk with Papi, but I ain't tryna cop no work. I'm tryna cop me the boat and some more property.

I told Roc we gotta be more than just a commodity. Make the house name an entity to infinity.

Y'all want me off the juice, no grenadine.

To stop me from thinkin' presidential like the scatter brains of Kennedy.

After I shot, duck down so the crowd won't witness me. Now, can somebody locate Mr. Shakur?

And tell these two Pacs they two shots away from two Glocks of bein' neighbors with the almighty Lord.

We put your best material in, then fast-forward.

Kendrick signin' off, I'm sure your signature's -forged. Boy -With no struggle, there's no progress.

I make 'em feel it in the hood to the projects.

And I'm riding down the path up to success. You know them haters send them shots, but I took that.

By any means necessary, nigga, I'ma get it. Fall down and get up, guaranteed I ain't quittin'.

So victory's the only outcome. Heart of a lion with the mind of Malcolm. Yeah
