[00:00.000]Average Joe - Kendrick Lamar (肯德里克·拉马尔)
[00:08.059]The hardest thing for me to do
[00:12.649]Is to get you to know me
[00:17.879]Within sixteen bars
[00:20.019]That's the hardest thing
[00:21.249]Who is K Dot
[00:22.809]A young ni**a from Compton
[00:23.978]On the curb writing raps next to a gun shot
[00:27.148]On the corners where the gangsters
[00:28.288]And the killers dwell
[00:29.497]The fraudulent tender scars
[00:30.947]That get unveiled
[00:32.167]Everyone I knew was either crip or piru
[00:34.567]Cousins in elementary
[00:35.697]Relatives in high school
[00:37.386]With that being said
[00:38.466]Each one of their rivals
[00:39.796]Was aiming something at my head
[00:41.136]I needed survival
[00:42.446]Got jumped got jacked
[00:43.786]Shot at shot back
[00:45.046]And I don't even push a line
[00:46.366]I'm just tryna push these rhymes
[00:47.985]In the midst of staying
[00:49.095]Neutral and discrete
[00:50.174]My momma said you're judged
[00:51.374]By the company you keep
[00:52.874]But what you can consider
[00:54.224]That if it goes down
[00:55.364]They'll kill you if you kill me
[00:57.274]It gets deep ni**a
[00:59.044]So if you ask what I'm doing
[01:00.364]I'm tryna duck the influence of my city
[01:02.543]That's brewing real talk and
[01:04.893]This is why they f**k with me
[01:07.982](real talk ni**a believe it)
[01:09.851]This is why they f**k with me
[01:13.160](do what I do y'know )
[01:14.600]I'm no gangster no killer
[01:16.870]I'm just your average Joe
[01:18.950](know that)
[01:19.840]But one thing you should consider
[01:22.120]I'm the realest you know
[01:24.078]I was walking from Centennial
[01:25.758]When an unidentified vehicle rolled up
[01:28.358]And I was like hol' up
[01:30.788]Where you from
[01:31.427]"I don't bang"
[01:32.027]Where you stay"Westside"
[01:33.346]That's a Piru gang to be exact
[01:35.386]Well aware they had blue
[01:36.456]Across they hat
[01:37.286]Dropped backpack
[01:37.906]And ran inside of the cul-de-sac
[01:39.706]Shots rang out hoping to God
[01:41.595]I wasn't wet
[01:42.255]Crossed to cross Rosecrans
[01:43.485]And ran inside of the yet
[01:44.934]Chirped the homies on the I-95
[01:46.784]They said they already knew
[01:48.104]What happened
[01:48.744]And meet 'em outside the garage
[01:50.174]Never seen that many guns in my life
[01:52.323]I was paranoid like a fiend in the night
[01:54.473]But needed revenge
[01:55.343]Grabbed the nine-ball
[01:56.323]Opened up the door then got in
[01:58.113]Somebody said fall back
[01:59.552]We gon' make these niggas suffer
[02:00.852]You my brother like a frat
[02:02.172]And that's just to remind you
[02:03.522]Thought about that so long
[02:04.642]I had failed my finals f**k but
[02:07.802]This is why they f**k with me
[02:10.941](I told you ni**a)
[02:12.991]This is why they f**k with me
[02:16.451](you fake ni**a)
[02:17.561]I'm no gangster no killer
[02:19.761]I'm just your average Joe (you fake)
[02:22.971]But one thing you should consider
[02:25.051]I'm the realest you know
[02:27.640]I don't do black music
[02:28.980]I don't do white music
[02:30.320]I do everyday life music
[02:32.460]Give 'em cuts like a ni**a
[02:33.640]Pierced a knife through it
[02:34.910]You say you through
[02:35.789]But I've been through it now that's cold
[02:38.399]And this is for my county building children
[02:40.259]In Hub City on hubcaps
[02:41.809]No power-steering
[02:42.929]I use perseverance in this mad city
[02:45.258]Where the niggas drink Remy
[02:46.808]And hold semis for cutthroats
[02:48.488]Bernie Mac died it's no joke
[02:50.027]Don't ask why if you don't know
[02:51.657]About these killers and thieves
[02:53.126]Seven grams of w**d you smoke that
[02:55.146]But I'm high off life
[02:56.586]I could fall out the sky like twice
[02:59.466]And land in the land of the AKs
[03:01.656]And the minivans where the fan never on
[03:03.826]Cause it's hotter than a lunatic's
[03:05.176]Underarms in a straitjacket
[03:07.315]In other words we get it cracking
[03:08.875]But I keep it cool you know
[03:10.815]This is why they f**k with me
[03:16.045]This is why they f**k with me (real talk)
[03:20.564]I'm no gangster no killer
[03:22.754]I'm just your average Joe (come on)
[03:25.664]But one thing you should consider
[03:27.904]I'm the realest you know
[03:33.883]So there you have it
[03:37.233]But I'mma leave you with this
[03:41.443]An O G once told me
[03:45.163]A real gangster is either dead or in jail
[03:49.313]Or behind the scenes getting real money
[03:51.023]I'm gone
