Scenario
Kendrick Lamar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I'd like to thank everybody
For coming out tonight
I'd like to share with you
My celebrity scenarios
I promise I won't tell baby girl
I can hold water, I promise
I got this girl named Meagan Good
Well, you could say that Meagan was bad
The way she talk dirty he
Done threw me the ass
Like a quarterback Mr mcNabb
She introduce me to her friend Teairra Mari
Well, see Mari put a nigga to sleep
She made her boy feel good
Even curled my feet
Now please don't go back to Jay-Z
It's a rap
I used to fuck with Christina a while back
Which one, Aguilera or Milian, both of em
They did this little trick with their tongue
I came faster than a
NASCAR spinning backwards
Brandi like to suck it she
Said she needed some practice
In the back of my bucket
Wasn't using no mattress
Brooke Valentine like to take it from behind
Face down, ass up
Shit I love it when she climb
Now we can all be celebrity cousins
And if I fuck I swear I won't say nothin'
Now we can all be celebrity cousins
And if I fuck I swear
I won't say nothin' else
I promise, I won't tell nobody else
I promise, I swear I won't say nothin' else
I promise, just take off your clothes
Nobody'll know psych
And about Vivica i had her way before 50
Cent start dissing her one thing I know
Shit I hope he wasn't kissing her
Man she could blow like a torch
And dick without using a fork
She introduced me to Gabrielle of course
Union, had her on my backyard porch
Legs up film rolling, action, cut
She looking at me like "what happened
Get up" fucked up so Holly came
Shit I felt that I lucked up
Gave her my last name, Trina moved on
She fucking with Lil Wayne now it's OK
I ain't crying about my hand-me downs
I'ma sit back, take it for what it's worth
But for now I'm free
"can you please lift up your skirt?"
We can do lunch, later on be dessert
I'll give you a job, since 106 didn't work
Out
Now we can all be celebrity cousins
And if I fuck I swear I won't say nothin'
Now we can all be celebrity cousins
And if I fuck I swear
I won't say nothin' else
I promise, I won't tell nobody else
I promise, I swear I won't say nothin' else
I promise, just take off your clothes
Nobody'll know psych
Ciara gave a nigga the goodies love tonight
And Bow Wow wants to see
My cars out the house
Nigga maybe wanted to fight
He seen the burner on the
Draw and walked right out
Will Smith knows exactly what
I'm talkin' bout i had the same altercations
When dealing with Jada
Baby momma drama I start fucking Fantasia
Nothing serious
She thought of it as a favour
And Lindsay Lohan, made my shit stand up
Like a Voltron, I couldn't keep my pants up
The Pussycat Dolls want the fantasy of all
Like, I'ma need some help trying
To fuck all of y'all
Hour later, that's when Amerie called
Saying "this just one thing" oK ma
"you don't have to fiend for the ding-a-ling"
I'll be over there, make sure Eve over there
I wanna see y'all mingling together
Remember that time at my house
Remember that time at your house
Remember that time on the bed
Remember that time on the couch
Remember that time on the chair
Remember when Nelly was downstairs
We all had a good time
Didn't we all have fun
As celebrities can we?
Now we can all be celebrity cousins
And if I fuck I swear I won't say nothin'
Now we can all be celebrity cousins
And if I fuck I swear
I won't say nothin' else
I promise, I won't tell nobody else
I promise, I swear I won't say nothin' else

I love how everybody has a favorite. Some say KDot killed it, Soul the best, Q is dope, Rock is hard. It just goes to show how good they are as solo artists, and how much better they are together. Black Hippy is the illest in the game. Real hip hop.
Khumo Africa
I'm sorry but Q was the best everyone else did deliver but Q brought something different.
Sk8x4x3v3r
I think ab soul killed it in this song!! He always flows perfectly over these kinds of beats
Reservoir Dog
I need a Black Hippy album in my life
7Beyonder
I love it! A tribute to the legendary Tribe Called Quest! They killed it.
PermanentHigh
Damn, Q can rap. That was easily one of his coolest verses.
Grime Soc
I saw kendrick live and honestly the one thing he has that surpasses every other rapper i know is his breath control, even LIVE he never falls short on a single line
Jerry Okonkwo
I feel you on that level, saw him weeks ago, and it was worth the experience
BS_E.
"Enter the mind of the utmost divine, Heel up reel up, bring it back come rewind" LOVE THAT PART
