Institutionalized Lyrics By Kendrick Lamar Featuring Bilal Anna Wise Snoop Dogg

    part i

    kendrick lamar
    what money got to do with it
    when i don’t know the full definition of a rap image
    i’m trapped inside the ghetto and i ain’t proud to admit it
    institutionalized i keep runnin’ back for a visit hol’ up
    get it back
    i said i’m trapped inside the ghetto and i ain’t proud to admit it
    institutionalized i could still kill me a nigga so what

    interlude anna wise bilal
    if i was the president
    i’d pay my mama’s rent
    free my homies and them
    bulletproof my chevy doors
    lay in the white house and get high lord
    whoever thought
    master take the chains off me

    life to me like a box of chocolate
    quid pro quo somethin’ for somethin’ that’s the obvious
    oh shit flow’s so sick don’t you swallow it
    bitin’ my style you’re salmonella poison positive
    i can just alleviate the rap industry politics
    milk the game up never lactose intolerant
    the last remainder of real shit you know the obvious
    me scholarship no streets put me through colleges
    be all you can be true but the problem is
    dream only a dream if work don’t follow it
    remind me of the homies that used to know me now follow this
    i’ll tell you my hypothesis i’m probably just way too loyal
    k dizzle will do it for you my niggas think i’m a god
    truthfully all of ’em spoiled usually you’re never charged
    but somethin’ came over you once i took you to them fuckin’ bet awards
    you lookin’ at artistses like they’re harvestses
    so many rollies around you and you want all of ’em
    somebody told me you thinkin’ ’bout snatchin’ jewelry
    i should’ve listened when my grandmama said to me

    bilal
    shit don’t change until you get up and wash yo’ ass nigga
    shit don’t change until you get up and wash yo’ ass boy
    shit don’t change until you get up and wash yo’ ass nigga
    oh now slow down

    snoop dogg
    and once upon a time in a city so divine
    called west side compton there stood a little nigga
    he was fivefoot somethin’ god bless the kid
    took his homies to the show and this is what they said

    kendrick lamar
    fuck am i ‘posed to do when i’m lookin’ at walkin’ licks
    the constant big money talk ’bout the mansion and foreign whips
    the private jets and passport presidential glass floor
    gold bottles gold models givin’ up the ass for
    instagram flicks suckin’ dick fuck is this
    one more sucker wavin’ with a flashy wrist
    my defense mechanism tell me to get him
    quickly because he got it
    it’s a recession then why the fuck he at king of diamonds
    no more livin’ poor meet my fourfour
    when i see ’em put the per diem on the floor
    now kendrick know they’re your coworkers
    but it’s gon’ take a lot ‘fore this pistol go cold turkey
    now i can watch his watch on the tv and be okay
    but see i’m on the clock once that watch landin’ in la
    remember steal from the rich and givin’ it back to the poor
    well that’s me at these awards
    i guess my grandmama was warnin’ a boy
    she said

    bilal
    shit don’t change until you get up and wash yo’ ass nigga
    shit don’t change until you get up and wash yo’ ass boy
    shit don’t change until you get up and wash yo’ ass nigga
    oh now slow down

    snoop dogg
    and once upon a time in a city so divine
    called west side compton there stood a little nigga
    he was fivefoot something dazed and confused
    talented but still under the neighborhood ruse
    you can take your boy out the hood
    but you can’t take the hood out the homie
    took his show money stashed it in the mozey wozey
    hollywood’s nervous
    fuck you goodnight thank you much for your service
