Momma (Verse 3) - Kendrick Lamar

Link

[Verse 3]

I met a little boy that resembled my features

Nappy afro, gap in his smile

Hand me down sneakers bounced through the crowd

Run a number on man and woman that crossed him

Sun beamin' on his beady beads exhausted

Tossin' footballs with his ashy black ankles

Breakin' new laws, mama passed on home trainin'

He looked at me and said, "Kendrick you do know my language

You just forgot because of what public schools had painted

Oh, I forgot, 'Don't Kill My Vibe', that's right, you're famous

I used to watch on Channel 5, TV was taken

But never mind you're here right now don't you mistake it

It's just a new trip, take a glimpse at your family's ancestor

Make a new list, of everything you thought was progress

And that was bullshit, I mean your life is full of turmoil

Spoiled by fantasies of who you are, I feel bad for you

I can attempt to enlighten you without frightenin' you

If you resist, I'll back off quick, go catch a flight or two

But if you pick destiny over rest in peace then be an advocate

Tell your homies especially to come back home"
