Verse 1: I've been grinding all my life, it's my time to shine From the bottom to the top, now I'm feeling fine They said I wouldn't make it, but I proved 'em wrong Now I'm standing tall, singing my victory song I put in the work, never took a break Every obstacle I faced, I learned to overcome and shake I'm a king in this game, ruling my own domain I'm here to stay, ain't no one gonna put out my flame Verse 2: I came from the struggle, from the streets of the hood But I never let it define me, I always knew I could Rise above the hate, the doubt, and the pain Now I'm on top of the world, ain't nothing gonna restrain I'm Kendrick Lamar, the name that you'll remember My rhymes are fire, my flow is so tender I spit truth in every line, I speak from the heart I'm here to make my mark, it's my time to start.
