Lyrics:
[Intro: Darlene Tibbs]
Fuck you, motherfucker, you a ho-ass nigga
I don't know why you trying to go big, nigga, you ain't shit
Walking around like you God's gift to Earth, nigga, you ain't shit
You ain't even buy me no outfit for the Fourth
I need that Brazilian, wavy, twenty-eight inch, you playin'
I shouldn't be fuckin' with you anyway
I need a baller-ass, boss-ass nigga
You's a off-brand-ass nigga, everybody know it
Your homies know it, everybody fuckin' know
Fuck you, nigga, don't call me no more
You won't know, you gonna lose on a good bitch
My other nigga is on, you off
What the fuck is really going on?

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
This dick ain't free
You lookin' at me like it ain't a receipt
Like I never made ends meet
Eating your leftovers and raw meat
This dick ain't free
Livin' in captivity raised my cap salary
Celery, tellin' me green is all I need
Evidently all I seen was Spam and raw sardines
This dick ain't free, I mean, baby
You really think we could make a baby named Mercedes
Without a Mercedes Benz and twenty-four inch rims
Five percent tint, and air conditioning vents?
Hell fuckin' naw, this dick ain't free
I need forty acres and a mule
Not a forty ounce and a pit bull
Bullshit, matador, matador
Had the door knockin', let 'em in, who's that?
Genital's best friend, this dick ain't free
Pity the fool that made the pretty in you prosper
Titty juice and pussy lips kept me obnoxious
Kept me up watchin' pornos in poverty; apology? No
Watch you politic with people less fortunate, like myself
Every dog has its day, now doggy style shall help
This dick ain't free
Matter of fact, it need interest
Matter of fact, it's nine inches
Matter of fact, see our friendship based on business
Pension, more pension, you're pinchin' my percents
It's been relentless, fuck forgiveness, fuck your feelings
Fuck your sources, all distortion, if you fuck it's more abortion
More divorce courts and portion
My check with less endorsement left me dormant
Dusted, doomed, disgusted, forced with
Fuck you think is in more shit?
Porcelain pipes pressure, bust 'em twice
Choice is devastated, decapitated the horseman
Oh America, you bad bitch, I picked cotton and made you rich
Now my dick ain't free

[Outro]
I'ma get my Uncle Sam to fuck you up
You ain't no king

⬇️LIKE IF YOU BUMPING THIS IN 2020! 👍👍

[aymann]

Kendrick literally snapped on an interlude. A JAZZ interlude. On a HIP HOP album

[π]

He's rapping in free time most of the time

[LOREWITHBLAZER]

He's speaking the language of the gods

[davidg]

Some say this song is weird but can you name another rapper that can pull this off??? Kendrick the GOAT

[theblackman]

This song went over so many people's heads. Kendrick is a musical genius.

[galactic-hamster]

Man Kuro really don't miss with his music selection holy shit

[Aburner]

Bro. If there wasn't any rapping in this, it would *still* be a crazy-ass jazz track. But with Kendrick going off in free time? So much fucking energy.

[Lee-ithx]

"I need 40 acres and a mule
Not a 40 ounce and a pit bull" 😂

[kin-qeyi]

this is probably the most important track of the album and one of Kendricks best vocal performances. Really sets the tone of the album, like a movie. Reminds me of Princess and The Frog

[muaddib]

People calling Jazz weird makes me giggle lol

[bonethugsfiend]

"Living in captivity raised my cap salary.". I wonder if he means how when rappers go to jail their stock rises because the fans perceive them to be "real".

[nicktarantino]

"i need 40 acres and a mule not a 40 oz and a pitbull" such a deep bar showing the failure of the reformation still affecting these communities.

[heathc]

One of my favorite tracks on the album

[nzslol]

This is an interlude. Just a simple interlude according to K-Dot.

Think about that for a second.

[bruh......]

The Jazz just keeps catching my attention i don't even care what Kendrick is saying on this song lol

[tackywhale]

I liked the jazz, didn't care for the vocals with the exception of a good chunk of Kendrick's dialogue. For whatever reason, that cracked me up.

[togglebott]

The last verse is so fucking good Jesus Christ

[KarateWrestler]

kinda outta nowhere but this is a great song to study for broken rhythm in boxing when kemdrick go off on the end i go mf off when i hit the bag or shadow box

[asharma]

This is the interlude to the entire album! In less than 2 mins Kendrick explains what the content of this album is gonna be about. Done over these soulful jazz instruments, his rhyming is top notch, and just listen to those lyrics man. I truly believe that this is the album that got him the Pulitzer. It is a masterpiece!
