Kurupted
Kendrick Lamar Lyrics

These streets is jurassic
These streets are dangerous and unpredictable

Cowards get asthmatic
Weak individuals are easily overwhelmed

Astronauts hover throughout the atmosphere
People with a sense of freedom explore their surroundings

That the ghetto burb pull up on the curb
The urban neighborhood car arrives and stops at the sidewalk

(what's up homie), smoke a nigga then dip
(greeting) It means to confront and harm someone and then quickly leave

It's the immaculate, verbal assassin
A skilled rapper who can deliver deadly lyrics

Strangle your perfect etiquette to an accent
Destroying your polished behavior and reducing it to insignificance

This is Jesus of Nazareth
A metaphor to show the power and influence of the artist

Spittin' gold policies to a world unknown
Expressing valuable ideas and perspectives to an unfamiliar audience

In a cherry Low-Low with four zones of weed
Driving a customized car with compartments filled with marijuana

No sticks no seeds
The marijuana is of high quality without any impurities

Prestigious when I post safe
The artist is highly respected when they express their thoughts

Through fifty states, beneath the speed
Traveling quickly and effortlessly across the entire country

Can corral the largest crowds
Can gather and control a large number of people

Mosh pit with a big dick
Asserting dominance and causing chaos in a crowd

Screaming bitches ain't shit
Dismissing and belittling women who are demanding attention

She gobble gobble for hours I
A sexual encounter where the woman performs oral sex for an extended period

Jumped in the shower i dismantle, devour
Afterwards, the singer cleans up and then proceeds to ruin and consume everything in their path

Hardest Emcees softer than Clam chowder
Even the toughest rappers are weaker than expected

No challengers can compete, they're
There are no rivals capable of matching the artist's skills. They are

Childish and weak, detrimental
Immature and lacking strength, causing harm in their attempts

Hazardous hazard to instrumentals
A dangerous threat to the beats and music production

Intertwined with God and Frankenstein
Assembled with divine and monstrous qualities

I'm kurupted! I'm kurupted!
The artist is corrupted and deviant

Gimme a hundred G's for every Emcee
The singer wants a large sum of money for each rapper they outperform

I drop to their knees verbally useless
When the singer raps, they make other rappers feel inadequate and irrelevant

Oh you got the Juice?
Challenging someone who claims to have power and influence

I'll squeeze you juiceless
The artist will drain all their power and leave them powerless

Catch you, hang you from many nooses
Punishing and publicly shaming someone for their mistakes

Been the truth since
The singer has always been authentic and genuine

Snoop and the pound was fuckin' over ruthless
Referencing an influential period in West Coast rap history when Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound were dominating

Young and I'm ruthless

Lyrical cyclops
A rapper with extraordinary vision and focus on their lyrics

Lazer-in 'em on paper and fraudulent friends
Targeting and exposing fake friends in their lyrics

Bitch you's a bitch in disguise
Calling out someone for pretending to be something they're not

And bitches get ten bullets to their midsection
Women who behave in a negative or deceitful way are met with severe consequences

Mr lethal injection
The singer is a metaphorical executioner, delivering deadly doses of words

In a regal higher than church steeples
The artist's status and presence is above that of religious structures

I swear to god count your lyrics in a jar
The artist is so skilled that they can trivialize and collect their opponents' lyrics

I'mma pterodactyl tearin' ya squad
The singer has a monstrous and destructive impact on their opponents' crew

Like pardon me in Terrance
The singer's dominance is similar to a polite interruption, demolishing any opposition

Martin in Aston Martin
Drawing a comparison between themselves and the luxury and power of Martin vehicles

Cannibal co-existing with the coldest, that
The artist embodies both predatory and chilling characteristics

Means I'm the sickest, and Theraflu won't do
No remedy or cure can match the artist's level of illness and greatness

Whenever I'm kicking the wickedness, explosive, syntagmatic
When the singer delivers their powerful and unpredictable lyrics, it creates an explosive and impactful effect

Smokin' like the barrel of this
Their smoking is intense and continuous, just like the barrel of a gun

Tech aimin' at ya' neck i'm kurupted!

I'm kurupted!

(Look homie) I'm from C-O-MP TO-aNy

Nigga can get it
Anyone who challenges the artist will face consequences

The little homie strapped and he with it
The artist's young associate is armed and ready for any situation

At the Avalanche swap-meet (what's up fool)
A specific location where the singer and their crew can be found, inviting confrontation

Blunt longer than Rosecrans
The singer is smoking a large marijuana cigarette that is longer than a street in their neighborhood

I'll grab the devil then slow dance
The artist will confront and engage in a dangerous and provocative dance with evil

Practice trigonometry, practice my aim on
The artist hones their skills and precision, preparing to target and hit their opponents

Rooftops eating pastrami sandwiches
Enjoying their success and eating comfortably in a high-up location

You are counterfeit
The singer accuses someone of being inauthentic and fake

Worthless beats and verses surfaced west
Critiquing the lack of quality in the music being released from the West Coast

Coast with a big
The singer confidently represents the West Coast

Scope kill all Y'all It's Top Dawg, TDE, cPT
Declaring their superior skills and claiming affiliation with influential rap groups from their region

Quick to tell a bitch jump on my dick ASAP

Complete havoc, compulsive disorder
The artist causes chaos and exhibits uncontrollable behavior

Rhyme addict - Slaughter
Addicted to crafting impactful and powerful lyrics

House is full of Joey
Referring to association with talented and respected rappers, Joey Badass

Joells and Royces for ya'

Challenging someone to swear on a religious text

The bible and shoot i'm Kurupted!
Even after making a serious oath, the singer remains corrupt and dangerous

See a lot of y'all get
Noticing that many people become

Real disrespectful, real comfortable
Too comfortable and disrespectful towards those who came before them

Not recognizin' ya' legends
Failing to acknowledge and pay respect to the pioneers and influential figures

West Coast legends, Young Gotti
Referring to the singer as a legend in West Coast rap, comparing themselves to Young Gotti, a moniker used by rapper Kurupt

I black out like Howard University
The singer becomes lost in their thoughts and actions, referencing Howard University as a predominantly Black institution

When I verbally turn
When the artist switches to their aggressive and powerful rap style

Into Hercules hurtin' these Emcees
Transforming into a powerful and dominant figure, inflicting pain on other rappers

Early and urgently
Swiftly and with purpose

Urkin' my nerves searching for
Annoying and provoking the singer as they search for

Certain certified nouns and
Specific and impressive words and

Verbs on the verge of
Expressing profound and impactful actions on the edge of

Vigorous victory kurupted
Achieving a powerful and triumphant win, embodying corruption in the process
