About ELEMENT.

On “ELEMENT,” Kendrick asserts himself as the most dominant rapper in the game, taking his contemporaries to task and daring them to call him out on wax. Kendrick delves into his personal journey of self-sacrifice and family tribulations that has so far accumulated in his life; how the struggles his family and himself have endured have influenced & carried him to where he stands today: at the top of the game. Prior to the album release, Lebron James jammed out to this song on his Instagram story. .

[00:04.28] New Kung Fu Kenny
[00:06.12] Ain't nobody prayin' for me

[00:57.76] That's why you maney-ass rap niggas better know
[01:00.03] If I gotta slap a pussy-ass nigga, I'ma make it look sexy
[01:04.85] If I gotta go hard on a bitch, I'ma make it look sexy
[01:09.94] I pull up, hop out, air out, made it look sexy
[01:14.92] They won't take me out my element
[01:18.77] Nah, take me out my element
[01:20.88] I'm allergic to a bitch nigga, ayy
[01:21.90] An imaginary rich nigga, ayy
[01:23.44] Seven figures ho, that's slimmer than my bitch figure, ayy

[01:41.20] 100K spread across the floor, 'cross the floor, yeah
[01:43.83] None of y'all fuckin' with the flow yeah, the flow yeah
[01:46.60] Years in the makin', and don't y'all mistake it
[01:48.82] I got 'em by a landslide, we talkin' about races
[01:50.23] You know this'll never be a tie, just look at their laces
[01:53.44] You know careers take off, just gotta be patient
[01:56.04] Mr. One through Five, that's the only logic
[01:58.51] Fake my death, go to Cuba, that's the only option

[02:35.57] Was the same life they see on TV, huh?
[02:36.84] Niggas wanna flex on me and be in L.A. for free, huh?
[02:38.56] Next time they hit the 10 freeway, we need a receipt, huh?
[02:40.75] 'Cause most of y'all ain't real
[02:43.34] Most of y'all gon' squeal
[02:44.40] Most of y'all just envy, but jealousy get you killed
[02:46.96] Most of y'all throw rocks and try to hide your hand
[02:48.91] Just say his name and I promise that you'll see Candyman
[02:51.67] Because it's all in your eyes, most of y'all tell lies
[02:54.13] Most of y'all don't fade, most of y'all been advised
[02:56.48] Last LP I tried to lift the black artists
[02:58.41] But it's a difference between black artists and wack artists
[03:01.64] If I gotta slap a pussy-ass nigga, I'ma make it look sexy
[03:08.22] It's the one and only, the world's greatest, the Kid Capri
[03:10.91] If I gotta go hard on a bitch, I'ma make it look sexy
[03:13.32]
[03:15.86] I pull up, hop out, air out, made it look sexy
[03:20.86] They won't take me out my element
[03:24.95] Nah, take me out my element
[03:26.71]
