Wesley's Theory
#KendrickLamar Lyrics

When the four corners of this cocoon collide
When different aspects of your life come together and clash

You’ll slip through the cracks hoping that you’ll survive
You might struggle to cope and survive through tough situations

Gather your wind, take a deep look inside
Take a moment to reflect on yourself and your behaviors

Are you really who they idolize?
Are you living up to and being true to the image you're trying to portray?

To pimp a butterfly
The title of the album that discusses the exploitation of African Americans and their communities.

At first, I did love you
Initially, I had genuine love for you

But now I just wanna fuck
But now I only desire you sexually

Late night thinkin' of you
I can't stop thinking about you at night

Until I got my nut
Until I satisfy my sexual desires

Tossed and turned, lesson learned
The experience with this person taught me a lesson

You was my first girlfriend
You were the first person I had romantic feelings for

Bridges burned, all across the board
Our relationship is beyond repair and ruined in every aspect

Destroyed, but what for?
Why did we end up destroying our relationship?

When I get signed, homie I'mma act a fool
If I get a record deal, I'm going to go wild and act recklessly

Hit the dance floor, strobe lights in the room
I'm going to party and dance in a room with flashing lights

Snatch your little secretary bitch for the homies
I'm going to steal someone's secretary and share her with my friends

Blue eyed devil with a fat ass smokey
The secretary has blue eyes and is attractive

I'mma buy a brand new Caddy on fours
I'm going to buy a Cadillac with aftermarket rims

Trunk the hood up, two times, deuce four
I'm going to lift the back of my Cadillac and add custom rims labeled 24s

Platinum on everything, platinum on wedding ring
I'm going to go all out and spend money on everything, including a platinum wedding band

Married to the game, made a bad bitch yours
I am committed to my music and have brought along a woman who is also committed to me

When I get signed homie I'mma buy a strap
If I become famous, I'm going to buy a gun for protection

Straight from the CIA, set it on my lap
I will obtain a firearm illegally from the CIA and carry it with me

Take a few M-16s to the hood
I'm going to bring military-grade weapons to my neighborhood

Pass 'em all out on the block, what's good?
I'll distribute these weapons to the people on my block

I'mma put the Compton swap meet by the White House
I'll open a market from my hometown in Compton by the White House

Republican, run up, get socked out
If any Republicans try to pick a fight with me, they'll get knocked out

Hit the press with a Cuban link on my neck
I'll show off my wealth by wearing a flashy Cuban link chain

Uneducated but I got a million dollar check, like that
Even though I'm not formally educated, I have gained wealth through my music career

We should never gave, we should never gave
We should have never given African Americans money

Niggas money go back home, money go back home
We should return the money to African Americans' ancestral home

Yo what's up? It's Dre
The following lines are spoken by Dr Dre

Remember the first time you came out to the house?
Do you remember when you first came to my house?

You said you wanted a spot like mine
You said you wanted to be in the same position as me

But remember, anybody can get it
But anyone can gain success

The hard part is keeping it, motherfucker
The challenge is maintaining that success

What you want you? A house or a car?
Do you want materialistic things like a house or a car?

Forty acres and a mule, a piano, a guitar?
Or do you want something like land or a musical instrument?

Anything, see, my name is Uncle Sam on your dollar
Regardless of what you want, the US government is the one benefiting from your hard earned money

Motherfucker you can live at the mall
You can even live in a shopping mall because of the lack of affordable housing options

I know your kind (That's why I'm kind)
I understand your struggles and feelings

Don't have receipts (Oh man, that's fine)
You don't have proof of income, but it's okay

Pay me later, wear those gators
You can pay me back later, wear your expensive alligator skin shoes

Cliche and say, fuck your haters
Use the widely overused phrase of 'fuck your haters'

I can see the borrow in you
I can see you are constantly borrowing from others

I can see the dollar in you
I can see you are very money-focused

Little white lies with a snow white collar in you
You tell small lies while wearing an expensive white-collar outfit

But it's whatever though because I'm still followin' you
I will continue to follow you, despite your flaws

Because you make me feel forever baby, count it all together baby
You make me feel motivated and positive about the future, let's count our blessings

Then hit the register and make me feel better baby
Let's go shopping and spend money to ease any negative feelings

Your horoscope is a gemini, two sides
Your horoscope sign is Gemini because you have two different personalities

So you better cop everything two times
You should buy everything in twos

Two coupes, two chains, two c-notes
Buy two cars, two chains, and two hundred dollar bills

Too much and enough both we know
We know the balance between having too much and having enough

Christmas, tell 'em what's on your wish list
During the holidays, let others know what you want as gifts

Get it all, you deserve it Kendrick
Buy everything you want, you deserve it

And when you get the White House, do you
If you become successful, enjoy your newfound success

But remember, you ain't pass economics in school
But don't forget, you didn't do well in economics class

And everything you buy, taxes will deny
Remember that taxes will take a portion of everything you buy

I'll Wesley Snipe your ass before thirty-five
I will kill you if you owe me money and don't pay me back before the age of 35

Lookin' down is quite a drop (It's quite a drop, drop)
Looking down from a high place can cause a feeling of dizziness or a fall

Lookin' good when you're on top (When you're on top you got it)
Having success or power makes you look good

A lot of metaphors, leavin' miracles metaphysically in a state of euphoria
The song has many figurative expressions, leaving the listener in a state of intense happiness

Look both ways before you cross my mind
Be careful what you say or do around me, because I'm paying attention

We should never gave, we should never gave
We should have never given African Americans money

Niggas money go back home, money go back home
We should return the money to African Americans' ancestral home

Tax man comin'
A warning about tax season and the upcoming tax bill due date
