Live Again ScHoolboy Q (Ft. CurT@!n$ & Kendrick Lamar)

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Lifestyles of a kid that never had shit
Livin' off that bad shit, that shoot shit, that stab shit
Rock a flag and don't give a fuck about U.S. flag shit
George Bush got some nerve, fuck a war, we tryna serve
Motherfuckin' eight balls 'til we live at the pool hall
And knock billiards out of your business, ya bitch
That's my surroundings in Compton, have common sense
Smell death in the air, around here, that's a common scent
You know the gunpowder
You know when your homie barely blink, he just done powder
Only at seventeen
You know the common statistic inspired by hoop dreams
Now hired by street schemes of gettin' blood money
I try my best to stay focused and hope the city love me
Pray it's not lust, 'cause if it is, I'll be dead in a month
Lord forbid, for the good kid
They took his life
She want her baby back like a cooked rib
But that's just life where I'm from

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
If there's a shining star
Hope my city's not too far
So we can live again
See, where I come from is hard
Hope all over, we can start
So we can live again, so we can live again
