King’s Dead Lyrics Translations

[Part I]

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]

Miss me with that bullshit (Bullshit)
You ain't really wild, you a tourist (A tourist)
I be blackin' out with the purist (The purist)
I made a hundred thou', then I freaked it (I
freaked it)
I made five-hundred-thou', then I freaked it (I
freaked it)
I bought a '87 for the weekend (The weekend)
This ain't what you want, this ain't what you
want (What you want)
This ain't what you want, this ain't what you
want (What you want)

[Verse: Jay Rock]

And it's like that, lil' bitch
MVP, I don't get no sleep, no, I don't like that,
lil' bitch
Bust that open, I want that ocean, yeah, that
bite back, lil' bitch
Do it bite back, lil' bitch? Need two life
jackets, lil' bitch
I ain't gon' hold you, I ain't gon' press you,
never control you
I ain't gon' front you, keep it one-hundred, I
don't know you
Boss like Top Dawg, bossed my life up,
crossin' over
Stutter steppin', got a Hall of Fame in all my
posters
I've been ready, my whip been ready, my
bitch been ready, my clique been ready
My shit's been ready, my check's been ready,
my shot's on full, that's Armageddon
I got pull, I hope y'all ready, my tank on full,
you know, unleaded
I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it, I gotta go
get it, I gotta go get it
My name gon' hold up, my team gon' hold up,
my name gon' hold up, my team gon' hold up
My shots gon' fire, my team gon' roll up,
ménage à trois, my queen gon' roll up
I hope y'all ready, you know I'm ready, I reign
all day, you know, confetti
I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it, I gotta go
get it, I gotta go get it, skrrt

[Chorus: Future & Kendrick Lamar]

Miss me with that bullshit (Bullshit)
You're not a gang member, you's a tourist (A
tourist)
I be blackin' out, I be blackin' out
Bought an '83 Cutlass for the weekend (For
the weekend)
I got a hundred-thousand, then I freaked it
(Then I freaked it)
I made five-hundred-thousand, then I freaked
it (Then I freaked it)
I put a Rolls Royce on my wrist, oh yeah
Fuck his baby mama, tryna sneak diss
I took her to my penthouse, then I freaked it
(Then I freaked it)
I haven't made my mind up, should I keep it?
(Should I keep it?)
I got big dawg status, it ain't no secret

[Bridge: Future & Jay Rock]

La di da di da, slob on me knob
Pass me some syrup, fuck me in the car
La di da di da, mothafuck the law
Chitty chitty bang, murder everything
Bitch, I'm on a roll, and I put that on the gang

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]

Yeah, miss me with that bullshit (Bullshit)
You ain't really wild, you a tourist (A tourist)
I be blackin' out with the purist (The purist)
I made a hundred thou', then I freaked it (I
freaked it)
I made five-hundred-thou', then I freaked it (I
freaked it)
I bought a '87 for the weekend (The weekend)
This ain't what you want, this ain't what you
want (What you want)
This ain't what you want, this ain't what you
want (What you want)

Is you gon' do somethin'?

[Part II]

[Refrain: Kendrick Lamar]

Red light, green light, red light, green light
Red light, green light, they like
[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
We like fast cars, fast money, fast life, fast
broads
Egotistic, goin' ballistic, why God?
Born warrior, lookin' for euphoria
But I don't see it, I don't feel it, I'm paraplegic
Tapped in when I'm maxed in Comp-Town
with the MAC-10s
And the pumps in the background I was
absent
Never OG, standout, I was lackin'
Everything else, but doubt in the Magnum
Holdin' Magnums with a Magnum
Nigga, ad-lib and I sing out loud
Never had friends, never had ends, never had
hope
They was like, "Nope," I was like, "Bùyào,
bùyào"
(Yeah, God)
Tee off the day, know we off the, be off the,
eat off your plate
Throw me off, I be, "Off ya head"
Well ate, on C4, I'm way off the edge
Fuck integrity, fuck your pedigree, fuck your
feelings, fuck your culture
Fuck your moral, fuck your family, fuck your
tribe
Fuck your land, fuck your children, fuck your
wives
Who am I? Not your father, not your brother
Not your reason, not your future
Not your comfort, not your reverence, not
your glory
Not your heaven, not your angel, not your
spirit
Not your message, not your freedom
Not your people, not your neighbor
Not your baby, not your equal
Not the title y'all want me under
All hail King Killmonger

[Refrain: Kendrick Lamar]

Red light, green light, red light, green light
Red light, green light, they like, we like
Fast cars

Have these artists collaborated before?

Genius Answer 2 contributors

Yes, Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock have

collaborated numerous times as they are
both members of the Black Hippy rap
group. Their highlights include Jay’s “Vice
City”, Kendrick’s “Money Trees”, and their
joint mixtape released in 2007, No Sleep Till
NYC.

remix of the latter’s hit single, “Mask Off”
and Mike-WILL Made It’s “Buy the World”.
This song marks the first collaboration

Kendrick’s “ELEMENT.”, but this song marks
their first collaboration where both artists
provided vocals. Blake had previously
never collaborated with Future or Jay Rock.

my album and Dot was next door.And
actually I just walked in, you know we
always walk back and forth, I walked in.
He was like, ‘Man, you want in on this
Black Panther project?’. So I’m like
‘What? What you talkin’ ‘bout? You
putting on some revolutionary shit.’ But
nah, he started laughing and shit, he
was like ‘Nah nah’, he was like, ‘You
know, Marvel, you know the movie
Black Panther’. I was like ‘Oh ok’ you
know, I was like yeah, he played the
beat, he had the hook and I just did my
thang and he was like ‘Boy shh’ you nah
mean and it was history after that.'
