The Art Of Peer Pressure

KENDRICK LAMAR

7

Me and my niggas four deep in a white Toyota

A quarter tank of gas, one pistol, and orange soda

Janky stash box when the Federales will roll up

Basketball shorts with the Gonzales Park odor

We on the mission for bad bitches in trouble

I hope the universe love you today

cause the energy we bringing sure to carry away

a flock of positive activists and fill their body with hate, if it's necessary

Bumping Jeezy' first album, looking distracted

Speaking language only we know, you think it's an accent

The windows roll down, all I see is a hand pass it

Hot-boxing like George Foreman grilling the masses

of the working world, we pulled up on a bunch of working girls

and asked them what they working with, look at me

I got the blunt in my mouth, usually I'm drug-free

But shit, I'm with the homies

(Yeah nigga, we off of pill and Remy Red

Come through and bust ya head nigga)

Me and the homies

(Sag all the way to the liquor store

where my niggas pour up fo' and get twisted some more)

Me and the homies

(I ride for my motherfucking niggas

Hop out, do my stuff, then hop back in)

Me and the homies

(Matter of fact, I hope out that motherfucker

and be like, do-do-do-do! Do-do-do-do-do!)

It's 2:30 and the sun is beaming

Air conditioner broke, and I hear my stomach screaming

Hungry for anything unhealthy, and if nutrition can help me

I'll tell you to suck my dick, then I'll continue eating

We speeding on the 4-0-5, passing Westchester

You know the light-skinned girls in all their little dresses, good Lord

They knew we weren't from round there

cause every time we down there, we pulling out the Boost Mobile sim cards

Bougie bitches with no extensions

Hood niggas with bad intentions, the perfect combination

Before we sparked the conversation

We seen three niggas in colors we didn't like, then started interrogating

I never was a gangbanger

I mean I never was stranger to the folk neither, I really doubt it

Rush a nigga quick, and then we laugh about it

That's ironic cause I've never been violent

until I'm with the homies

(Just riding, just riding)

Me and the homies

(Bullshitting, acting a fool)

Me and the homies

(Tripping, really tripping)

Me and the homies

(Just riding, just riding, just riding)

Bragging bout the episode we just had

A shot of Hennessy didn't make me feel that bad

I'm usually a true firm believer of bad karma

Consequences from evil will make your past haunt ya

We tryna conquer the city with disobedience

Quick to turn it up, beefing if we ain't got the CD in

But Jeezy still playing and our attitude is still, nigga what is you saying?

Pull in front of the house that we've been camping out for like two months

The sun is going down as we take whatever we want

I hit the back window in search of any Nintendo

DVDs, plasma screen TVs in the trunk

We made a right, then made a left, then made a right

Then made a left, we was just circling life

My mama called, kicking it

I should have told her I'm probably bout to catch my first offense

with the homies

[police sirens ring]

But they made a right, then made a left, then made a right

Then another right

One lucky night with the homies

(And this is the art of peer pressure

This is the art of peer pressure)

Me and the homies

(This is the art of peer pressure

This is the art of peer pressure)

Me and the homies

(And this is the art of peer pressure

This is the art of peer pressure)

Me and the homies

(This is the art of peer pressure

This is the art of peer pressure)
