“And so he said, why you gotta be so kind-hearted? Why you couldn't be a con-artist? Why you couldn't Why you couldn't be mischievous or just a lil' devious the moment that we first started? Why you never ask for nothing, just a lil' time? Why you let me use yours cause I don't got mines? Why you always lift me up when I'm completely giving up? Or when niggas holler what's up, you give a dry response? Why you giving me your last, knowing you ain't got it? Why you always buy me something when you going shopping? Why you tell me that you love me? Why you always thinking of me? Want my company rather than going club hopping Why you treating my momma like she your momma too? Why you making promises that you'll forever do? Whatever just to make me happy, wanting us to have a family These are exactly the reasons why I cheat on you”

Growing Apart (To Get Closer) Ft. Jhene Aiko

Kendrick Lamar

Growing Apart- Kendrick Lamar Ft. Jhene Aiko

We all seem to stumble, planning our own demise

Forgetting the big picture and making it wallet size

So to what’s important in my life, I apologize

I promise to stay faithful, focused and sanctified

We all get distracted

The question is, would you bounce back or bounce backwards?

Would you not know how to act or take action? It’s just a part of life

And if your vision’s impaired, you probably lose it all tonight

—Growing Apart (From Everything)—

[Jhene Aiko]
Where are we going? Why are we slowing down?
Where are you going? We should be growing now
Where are we going? We should be slowing down
Where are you going? We should be growing now

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
That’s what she said to me, the place I once called home is just a bed to me
And we don’t even sleep, neighbors can hear her weep
Meanwhile, I’m in these streets with everybody
I’m trying to get it and she know they got me
I watch her feelings watch me and they staring with the saddest eyes of loneliness
Look each other in the face and barely blink
I tried to make it right but the pen ran out of ink
So if my letters don’t reach you, I hope my lyrics in sync

[Jhene Aiko]
Where are we going? Why are we slowing down?
Where are you going? We should be growing now
Where are we going? We should be slowing down
Where are you going? We should be growing now

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
That’s what it said to me but that place I call ambition now dead to me
Gone and forgotten, I’m off track like Dale Earnhardt
My liver rotten, alcoholic tripping
Fucking bad bitches and they got bad intentions
Club night, guys and dolls
Balling out but we about to drop the ball
I’m calling out for help, my engineer called, tell me come to the studio
I wanna tell naw

[Jhene Aiko]
Where are we going? Why are we slowing down?
Where are you going? We should be growing now
Where are we going? We should be slowing down
Where are you going? We should be growing now

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
That’s what he said to but that place we call Heaven unfair to me
Only a hundred and forty-four can go
Seven billion people on planet Earth today
Is there something that I don’t know?
I know to follow Him rather than follow people
Or follow vanity ‘cause that means I’m following evil
Guess I’m following evil, I should follow cathedral
Blessings I need but live like I don’t need You

[Jhene Aiko]
Where are we going? Why are we slowing down?
Where are you going? We should be growing now
Where are we going? We should be slowing down
Where are you going? We should be growing now

[Verse 4: Kendrick Lamar]
So in conclusion, we all seem to stumble, planning our own demise
Forgetting the big picture and making it wallet sized
So to what is important in my life, I apologize
I hope to stay faithful, focused and sanctified
We all get distracted
The question is would you bounce back or bounce backwards?
You wouldn’t know how to act or would you take action? It’s just a part of life
And if your vision’s impaired, you’d probably lose it all tonight

[Jhene Aiko]
Trying to visualize how to get it right but my vision’s so blurry
Trying to slow it down, stay close to the ground but we’re always in a hurry, now
And if I could make this world spin a little slower
Then I would and we could grow a little closer
I think we’re getting closer
I think we’re getting closer

The Heart Pt.2 ft Dash Snow

Kendrick Lamar

one of my favorite tracks by Mr. Kendrick Lamar

Recommended Music: Kendrick Lamar - 'O(verly) D(edicated)'

After witnessing his freestyle for XXL earlier on this year and getting my hands on his album ‘Section.80’, I had to cop this mixtape as I was impressed by the lyrical skill, concepts, flow.. the music of Kendrick Lamar, who has been named by Snoop Dogg, Game and Kurpt as the ‘New King of The West Coast’ last month. You can really feel the emotion in his music which is delivered straight from his heart with so much passion which you can hear in his flow that is so natural to him. Listening to his music makes you think that there is still hope in ‘real hip hop music’, the sort of rap music where people talk a lot of sense about certain issues which isn’t as common as it used to be in today’s music.

Check out the track below entitled ‘The Heart part 2’ which features Dash Snow. It’s the first track off the ‘O(verly) D(edicated)’ mixtape which grabbed my attention right away.

You can either download the mixtape here for free, or buy the mixtape here via iTunes if you want to give him that love and support.

My future's so bright I'll probably go blind before I blink twice, I ain't lyin'.
