Kendrick Lamar - Average Joe Lyrics

Send "Average Joe" ringtone to your cell

The hardest thing for me to do

Is to get you to know me within sixteen bars

That's the hardest thing

Who is K. Dot? A young nigga from Compton

On the curb writing raps next to a gun shot

On the corners where the gangsters and the killers dwell

The fraudulent tender scars that get unveiled

Everyone I knew was either crip or piru

Cousins in elementary relatives in high school

With that being said each one of their rivals

Was aiming something at my head I needed survival

Got jumped got jacked shot at shot back

And I don't even push a line I'm just tryna push these rhymes

In the midst of staying neutral and discrete

My momma said you're judged by the company you keep

But what you can consider that if it goes down

They'll kill you if you kill me it gets deep nigga

So if you ask what I'm doing

I'm tryna duck the influence of my city that's blue-and.. real talk and

Somebody said fall back we gon' make these niggas suffer

You my brother like a frat and that's just to remind you

Thought about that so long I had failed my finals fuck but

Chorus:

This is why they fuck with me (I told you nigga)

This is why they fuck with me (you fake nigga)

I'm no gangster no killer I'm just your average Joe (you fake)

But one thing you should consider I'm the realest you know

I don't do black music I don't do white music

I do everyday life music

Give 'em cuts like a nigga pierced a knife through it

You say you through but I've been through it now that's cold

And this is for my county building children

In Hub City on hubcaps no power-steering

I use perseverance in this mad city

Where the niggas drink Remy and hold semis for cutthroats

Bernie Mac died it's no joke

Don't ask why if you don't know about these killers and thieves

Seven grams of weed you smoke that but I'm high off life

I could fall out the sky like twice

And land in the land of the AKs

And the minivans where the fan never on

Cause it's hotter than a lunatic's underarms in a straitjacket

In other words we get it cracking but I keep it cool y'know?

Chorus:

This is why they fuck with me

Laughs

This is why they fuck with me (real talk)

I'm no gangster no killer I'm just your average Joe (come on)

But one thing you should consider I'm the realest you know

So there you have it

But I'm a leave you with this

An OG once told me

A real gangster is either dead or in jail

Or behind the scenes getting real money

I'm gone
