Rigamortus
Kendrick Lamar Lyrics

Alright, here we go, third take
Starting the song, ready for the third attempt

Real quick, Ali mmm
Acknowledging Ali, likely a reference to his engineer

Got me breathing with dragons
Feeling powerful, like a mythical creature

I'll crack the egg in your basket
I will disrupt your plans or confidence

You bastard i'm Marilyn Manson with madness
I possess the same level of chaotic creativity as Marilyn Manson

Now just imagine the magic I light to asses
Envision the incredible impact and influence of my art

Don't ask for your favorite rapper
Don't expect me to conform to traditional rap standards

(He dead) , yes, sir (Amen) , church
Acknowledging the demise of others in the industry

(He dead) , I killed him (Amen) , bitch
Claiming responsibility for their downfall

And this is rigor mortis and
This is the state of death and decay

It's gorgeous when you die
There is beauty in the finality of death

Ali recorded and I'm Morpheus
Ali recorded the song, and I am like Morpheus from The Matrix

The matrix of my mind i'm out the orbit
My thoughts are beyond the norm, I am thinking outside the box

You an orphan and a hairdresser combined
You have no lineage or skills, a metaphorical low point

I'm on the toilet when I
I am in a vulnerable state, but also at my most creative

Rhyme, if you the shit, then I decline
If you think you're great, I don't agree

I climax where you begin and then
My peak comes while you're still starting out

I end on cloud nine
I finish on a high, feeling accomplished

And that's important when you morph into
It is crucial when you transform into

An angel in the sky
A celestial being, reaching new heights

And don't be forging all my signatures
Don't try to copy my style or imitate me

My listeners reply
My fans respond to my music

And tell me that you biting style
And accuse you of plagiarizing my style

You got a hell of an appetite
You have an insatiable hunger

And I'ma be here for a while
I will remain in the industry for a long time

Just buckle up before the ride
Prepare yourself for the journey ahead

Or knuckle up if you can fight
Be ready for conflict if you want to challenge me

We always making 'em duck or die
We are always causing fear or defeat

A suit and tie is suitable
A formal attire is appropriate

And usual in suicide
Typical in self-destructive behavior

CSI just might investigate
Law enforcement might look into this situation

This fucking parasite (He dead, amen)
Referring to someone who is draining the industry

That's what they telling me
That's the common narrative

Aim it at your celebrity
Directing the criticism towards famous figures

This is studio felony
Committing crimes through my music

Ferragami so many and cool
Having an abundance of Ferragamo clothing, fashionable and cool

Enough for the '70s
Having more than enough for the '70s fashion trends

Nigga, payback's a bitch, and bitch
Retribution can be harsh and unexpected

You been livin' in debt with me
You owe me for your actions

Dead 'em all and especially
Killing all competition, particularly targeted

Leave a call on his mother voicemail that
Leaving a distressing message on their mother's voicemail

Say that he rest in peace
Wishing for their peace in death

Bigger chopper the recipe
Using a more powerful weapon to ensure success

Wrestling? That's irrelevant
Engaging in conflict? It's pointless

Rather rest at your residence
Preferring peace and tranquility

Whistling to the melody
Enjoying the pleasant tune

Couldn't think of a better D
Couldn't come up with a better plan

Better be on your P and Q
Be alert and cautious

It's just me, Jay Rock, Soul, and Q
It's only the four of us, excluding others

Solar system and barbecue
Emphasizing a diverse range of topics or activities

Nothing else you can do
There are no other options or ways to handle this

(He dead) , yup-yup (Amen) , I killed him
Confirming their demise, claiming responsibility

(He dead, amen) , amen
Acknowledging their death

I wrapped him and made him Casper
He is now a ghost under my control

I capture the likes of NASA
I am able to captivate or astound even NASA scientists

My pedigree to fly past ya
My lineage allows me to surpass others

I'll pass the weed to the pastor
Sharing the marijuana with religious figures

We all are sinners
We are all flawed and make mistakes

Won't you send us to Bible study faster?
Don't you want us to seek spiritual guidance sooner?

Your hypocritist reaction a blasphemy
Your hypocritical response is sacrilegious

I assassin my casualty
I kill my targets

And it's casually done
It is done smoothly and without much effort

And tell 'em my salary come
And let them know about my significant income

In lump sum one hundreds
Received in large cash sums of hundred-dollar bills

Don't talk to me 'bout no money
Don't discuss money matters with me

The sun is under my feet
I am at the pinnacle of success

And I come in peace to compete
I approach competition with a peaceful mindset

I don't run if you'd rather leap
I don't shy away from challenges, unlike you

My statistics go up in weeks
My achievements and popularity increase rapidly

And I go visit the nearest creek
And I find solace in nature

And I get busy on many MC
And I dominate or defeat many other rappers

Really ballistic, anybody can see
Unquestionably intense and powerful, evident to all

Any assistance, everybody deceased
No one can assist, all others are defeated

Some persistence, recognize I be
Displaying determination, acknowledging my presence

Really too vicious, the permanent beast
Unapologetically aggressive, a dominant force

And the demolition breaking up the street
Causing chaos and disruption in the rap scene

Better partition, better dot your T
Establishing boundaries, being precise

And I gon' mention how the far you see
And I will address how limited your perspective is

Putting my dick in the rap industry
Dominating and asserting control over the rap industry

Everybody bitching, getting mad at me
Everyone complains and becomes angry at me

Recognize Kendrick in the battery
Acknowledging Kendrick's power and energy

And I'm charged up, and the catastrophe
And I am energized and ready, the ensuing chaos

Is charged up, and the audacity
Is explosive, and the boldness

Of y'all fucks never could hassle me
None of you could ever bother or challenge me

And y'all luck just ran out, you'll see
And your luck has just run out, it's evident
