Cartoon & Cereal Songtext
von Kendrick Lamar feat. Gunplay

I wanna hit line drives
Wanna lose weight and keep eating
For you
Hey, what′s up doc?

Now, I was raised in a sandbox
Next to you and her
You was holding the handgun
She was giving birth
To a baby boy to be just like you
I wonder what's that worth

I wonder if you ever knew
That you was a role model to me first
The next day I woke up in the morning
Seen you on the news
Looked in the mirror, then realized
I had something to prove


You told me "Don′t be like me"
"Just finish watching cartoons"
Which is funny now
'Cause all I see is Wile E. Coyotes in the room

And I run it (Blow, blow, blow, blow!)
And I run it (Blow, blow, blow, blow!)
And I run it (Yeah, blow!)
And I run it (Yeah, blow!)
That's ironic (Blow, blow, blow, blow!)
I run it (Blow, blow, blow, blow!)
That′s ironic (Yeah, blow!)
I run it (Yeah, blow, yeah!)

Salt all in my wounds
Hear my tears all in my tunes
Let my life loose in this booth
Just for you, mothafucka, hope y′all amused
And I run it (Blow, blow, blow, blow!)
And I run it (Blow, blow, blow, blow!)
And I run it (Yeah, blow!)
And I run it (Yeah, blow!)
That's ironic


Liberation leader

Wile E. Coyote, Wile E. Coyote

This shit make a nigga just wanna write
Reminisce when I had the morning appetite
Apple Jacks and after that, I hit the TV Guide
Animaniacs the only thing that gave me peace of mind
I′m a maniac when aiming at the enemy that lied
Tell a story that I'll never glory 25

Not to worry, every warrior
Will come and see you fully armed
And that′s a covenant I put on every tribe
Ain't nobody gon′ tie your shoe
Nobody gon' abide by your rule
Nobody holding your gun
How come your tongue say killa then kill my mood?

Lightspeed living in the world you know
Little old me, feeling like a live wire
Bet I put some new tires on a lighting bolt
'Til I wreck into a pole, like a right to vote
I am from the bottom of the jungle
Living in the bottom of the food chain
When you get a new chain, nigga take it from you
A new name, want stripes
And you and zebra look alike

Hope another homicide don′t numb you and none do
Things we will never learn soon
In the era where we wanna earn soon
That′s a error, you can smell it in the air
And everybody really doomed

That's why I′m backdooring you motherfuckas
All y'all can suck my dick
All them days at the county building
Now I′m 'bout to make my mama rich
Cartoons and (Cereal!)
I ain′t felt this good since Scrooge McDuck
(Here we go!) Elementary hood shit

Now, I was raised in a sandbox
Next to you and her
You was holding the handgun
She was giving birth
To a baby boy to be just like you
I wonder what's that worth

I wonder if you ever knew
That you was a role model to me first
The next day I woke up in the morning
Seen you on the news
Looked in the mirror, then realized
I had something to prove

You told me "Don't be like me"
"Just finish watching cartoons"
Which is funny now
′Cause all I see is Wile E. Coyotes in the room

And I run it (Blow, blow, blow, blow!)
And I run it (Blow, blow, blow, blow!)
And I run it (Yeah, blow!)
And I run it (Yeah, blow!)
That′s ironic (Blow, blow, blow, blow!)
I run it (Blow, blow, blow, blow!)
That's ironic (Yeah, blow!)
I run it (Yeah, blow, yeah!)

Salt all in my wounds
Hear my tears all in my tunes
Let my life loose in this booth
Just for you, mothafucka, hope y′all amused
And I run it (Blow, blow, blow, blow!)
And I run it (Blow, blow, blow, blow!)
And I run it (Yeah, blow!)
And I run it (Yeah, blow!)
That's ironic

This shit make a nigga just wanna shit on everybody
Even with a pot to piss in
I′mma aim sloppy at a loud mouth, discharge
Dismiss any business of yours
Discounts never did amount to a check
That ya ass couldn't cash when the shit bounce
Everything dismounts, niggas gon′ flip that car

AK's for the whole hood
House lick went down perfect
Two shots to the head
He deserved it, overheard it
Hit my bed with a bowl and remote control
Darkwing Duck lost service
Mama said I'd better duck, she′s nervous
Drama all up in the cut, hit the curtains

I mean don′t intervene with no gun machine
This block stay jerking, the feds stay lurkin'
Emerging on everbody corner (dash for it)
Get a toe tag when you play tag with a task of a new (task force)
Everybody wanna know my life
How did I make it (passed yours)
Well let me tell you like this
I′ve been running this shit since (I asked for it)
Cartoons and cereal

Now, I was raised in a sandbox
Next to you and her
You was holding the handgun
She was giving birth
To a baby boy to be just like you
I wonder what's that worth

I wonder if you ever knew
That you was a role model to me first
The next day I woke up in the morning
Seen you on the news
Looked in the mirror, then realized
I had something to prove

You told me "Don′t be like me"
"Just finish watching cartoons"
Which is funny now
'Cause all I see is Wile E. Coyotes in the room

Salt all in my wounds
Hear my tears all in my tunes
Let my life loose in this booth just for you
Muhfucka, hope y′all amused
I did wrong, karma came
Crackers gave me ball and chain
Friends, enemies all the same
State, fed, both can hang

Nobody can mute me
But I never said nobody can't shoot me
Just another stat to the white folks
Still whip work to the white yolk, absolutely
Everyday feel like the one before
Hunt the money, don't hunt the ho

If you do what you always done
Then you get what you always got
You dumb buffoons
I ain′t seen the back of my eyelids
For about the past 72 hours

Hand on my heart, face to the hood
I pledge every word you ever heard was honest
Yeah this me, no mic
No cameras, no lights, just pain
Mama how much trauma can I sustain?
Dirty money come with lots of stains
Road to riches come with lots of lanes
Just another player with lots of game
Never had shit, got lots to gain

Just another player with lots of game
Never had shit, got lots to gain
