Now or Never (feat. Mary J. Blige) Lyrics


We on?
Aight
One, two, three, go!Waking up in a dream
Sleepwalking on another big stage
You never heard peace 'til you hear people scream
Your name and your song, I'm so far away
From the place I used to be, struggling usually
Look at the newer me, fate pursuing me
I can feel the energy in the air
It feel like I'm supposed to be hereEverywhere I go I'm getting so much love
Fans, the stars, everyone
Sayin' how they can't wait for the LP
And I'm gonna blow
Feel so good in what you do
Helps somebody else get through
That's why I do the best I can
Because I know how blessed I amI'm so high,, I can touch the sky
I know it's my time

And it's now or never
I'm so bright, I light the night
And it feels so right, ain't nothing betterA fool if I take it all for granted
A smart man if I keep my feet planted to the earth
'Cause the people that hurt can't understand it
You speakin' outlandish, I'm gonna show you how to make it all work
Another planet, it's a short term role for me
A record sold for me, it's just mo for me
And you're here for you too here, Kendrick, persevere
Defenses, I yet feel relentless
Ambition with a clear vision
Takin' off, I ain't takin' off these pistons
I'm takin' off on the enemies, your distance
Came across me, how much it'd cost me to get you out my business?
I said a planet is a short term goal, no sky is the limit
I'm past that, now pass that
A word not one but four times two plus yoursI see myself performing at
Sold out shows where the room is packed
Sitting at the Grammy's, winning five awards
See myself on big billboards
Climbing round the world would endorse me deals
Can't imagine how it feels
That's why I'm smiling every day
'Cause my dream ain't far awayI'm so high, I can touch the sky
I know it's my time
And it's now or never
I'm so bright, I light the night
And it feels so right ain't nothing betterYou're looking at me and tell me I'm blessed
Calculating my steps, my heart, my breath
Breath lungs of a victory and vividly you see me when I'm at my best, my worse
This verse is dedicated to the days that I slept with the curse
Research my paid dues, I'm reimbursed
I burst in the crowd with a voice and a crown
I'm a king on a prowl and I see mama smile
And the vow I'm a take that I'll never break
You can break bread with me now, we can all take a bow
On the edge of the pedestal and scream out loud
That we made it off the avenue, I walk then down, in the darkness
I often sit back and get lost in the rap that I wrote
When you told me that it spoke to your soul
I was talkin' to you, I was walkin' it through
Heavy ghetto, tail of success, hello, we hereAnd I'm so happy I cry
'Cause I can't believe
All the things I ever wanted
Are finally happening for me
And it's so surreal
That I almost feel
That any minute I could wake up
From this fantasy
When you pray so hard
And you've come so far
And you know, that is the time for you to lift your bar
And I'm gonna do it
Watch meI'm so high, I can touch the sky
I know it's my time
And it's now or never
I'm so bright, I light the night
And it feels so right ain't nothing betterI'm so high, I can touch the sky
I know it's my time
And it's now or never
I'm so bright, I light the night
And it feels so right ain't nothing better

Kendrick Lamar (born June 17, 1987) is a rapper from Compton, California and is a member of Black Hippy collective along with members Jay Rock, Ab-Soul and ScHoolBoy Q. His music is largely influenced by the works of Tupac Shakur, Jay-Z, Nas and DMX.

He released the Kendrick Lamar EP in 2009, the critically acclaimed O(verly) D(edicated) mix tape in 2010, a 2011 digital album Section.80, released under Top Dawg Entertainment, and most recently good kid, m.A.A.d city on October 22, 2012. The Recipe Songfacts reports it was one of the cuts from O(verly) D(edicated), "Ignorance is Bliss," that initially interested fellow Compton native, Dr. Dre, in him. The young spitter worked with Dre on the latter's Detox album and the legendary Hip-Hop producer returned the favor by joining Lamar on "The Recipe". The song was premiered on the LA radio station Power 106's morning show on April 2, 2012.
