Now Or Never

Kendrick Lamar · Good Kid: M.A.A.D City [2012]

[Kendrick Lamar - Intro]

We on?

Aight

1,2,3, go!



[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]

Waking up in a dream

Sleepwalking on another big stage

You never heard peace 'til you hear people scream

Your name and your song, I'm so far away

From the place I used to be, struggling usually

Look at the newer me, fate pursuing me

I can feel the energy in the air

It feel like I'm supposed to here



[Verse 2: Mary J. Blige]

Everywhere I go I'm getting so much love

Fans, the stars, everyone

Sayin how they can't wait for the LP

And I'm gonna blow

Feel so good in what you do

Helps somebody else get through

That's why I do the best I can

Because I know how blessed I am



[Hook]

I'm so high I can touch the sky

I know it's my time

And it's now or never

I'm so bright I light the night

And it feels so right ain't nothing better



[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]

A fool if I take it all for granted

A smart man if I keep my feet planted

To the earth cuz the people that hurt can understand it

You speakin' outlandish

I'mma show you how to make it all work

Another plan, it a short term goal for me

A reconcile for me

It's just Mo (?) and me

You're here

For you to hear Kendrick persevere

Defenses I feel relentless

And visual (?) to clear vision

Takin' off I ain't takin off these pistons

I'm takin' off on the inner me - you're distance

Came across me, how much it'a cost me

To get you out my bid'ness

I set a plan, it's a short term goal no sky is the limit

I'm past that, now pass that

Award, not one but four

Times two plus yours



Verse 4:Kendrick Lamar



You lookin at me and you tell me I'm blessed

Calculated my steps my heart my breath
