I swear you people don't know Kendrick, you don't know him

But you say you want some more Kendrick, I'm bout to show 'em

everything inside this human being, I'm still growing

I'm a premature, baby in this crazy life that we adore

Doors on the Lamborghini, I want 'em

Can't afford 'em so I tell the swap meet to clone 'em

I guess I really am a vanity slave

I guess my ancestors turning in they graves

Burning money when I get it, fuck a life savings

Overdraft bank statements just to make a statement

When I put this fashion on, I'm a fashion junkie

Picking cotton in the country, I bought this out the country

Whips and chains, whips and chains, Jacob know my name

He call me Kunta, you my brother, we come from the same

modern world, that's your girl? I see she rocking Fendi

Try this on, if it ain't upscale then you may offend me

Copping everything in sight, ignoring they sacrifice

Amnesia if I see the Black Visa in my hand tonight

I show my dick and then I swipe, that's a punchline

They was hot and I wore ice, that's ironic huh?

Word around town that I'm all about the bitches

Word around town that I love my twenty-sixes

Word around town that I gotta stay paid

Lord please forgive me, I'm a vanity slave

(It's the Guc', cock and shoot

Found my swag but lost my roof, BURR! BURR!)

Lord please forgive me, I'm a vanity slave

(See my Audemar tick as my Audemar tock)

Lord please forgive me, I'm a vanity slave (BURR!)

Aw man, videos got me wanting hoes

Appetite for flashing lights, all I can do is pose

A black male, on Melrose

I should get blackmailed, buy my people hell Rose

Niggas that ain't had shit for four-hundred years

overcompensate by over-accessorising with gear

Many of y'all don't see my vision

I do it for the love of Hip Hop and the love of bitches

Am I a hypocrite cause everyday I'm contradicting?

I think of how I'm living, then I watch "How I'm Livin'"

I know this can't be right, my conscience tell me to stay righteous

It's unlikely to see what I like and say I don't like it

Biggest dilemma, my priorities ignoring me

I wanna move accordingly, but baby steps are premature remember?

I'm flying to the south and I'll be gone till November

to see my family tree, but this a shame I'm yelling out timber

Word around town that I'm all about the bitches

Word around town that I love my twenty-sixes

Word around town that I gotta stay paid

Lord please forgive me, I'm a vanity slave

(It's the Guc', cock and shoot

Found my swag but lost my roof, BURR! BURR!)

Lord please forgive me, I'm a vanity slave

(See my Audemar tick as my Audemar tock)

Lord please forgive me, I'm a vanity slave (BURR!)

Cold, oh so cold

How ironic? He bought it, then sold his soul

Is it masonic for your vice to take it's toll?

The remote control is taking control

Lift up the doors

That Lamborghini I wanted come with a dumb-ass model that in Vogues

I like 'em both, I'll wife 'em both

Take these motherfucking Jordans off, put on my Loafs

Cause nothing goes bad every time I wear (Gucci!)

I'm getting more ass every time I wear (Gucci!)

They tell me it's a fad every time I wear (Gucci!)

But should I give a fuck when it bring me more coochie?

This a young nigga's pedigree, I pray the Lord can better me

If not he bout to strike me down like this my third felony

Them voices keep on telling me, Kendrick don't forget about us

I burned my wardrobe, hoping that I could live without it

Word around town that I'm all about the bitches

Word around town that I love my twenty-sixes

Word around town that I gotta stay paid

Lord please forgive me, I'm a vanity slave

(It's the Guc', cock and shoot

Found my swag but lost my roof, BURR! BURR!)

Lord please forgive me, I'm a vanity slave

(See my Audemar tick as my Audemar tock)

Lord please forgive me, I'm a vanity slave (BURR!)
