    Feel free to add/correct where I messed up:

    [Kendrick Lamar]

    What money got to do with it
    When I don’t know the full definition of a rap image
    I’m trapped inside the ghetto and I ain’t proud to admit it
    Institutionalized I keep running back for a visit hold up
    Get it back
    I said I’m trapped inside the ghetto and I ain’t proud to admit it
    Institutionalized I could still k--- me a n-----, so what?

    [Anna Wise & Bilal]
    If I was the president
    I’d pay my mama’s rent
    Free my homies and then
    Bulletproof my chevy doors
    Lay in the whitehouse and get high lord
    Whoever thought
    Master take the chains off me

    [Snoop Dogg?]

    Zoom zoom, zoom zoom zoom
    Zoom zoom, zoom zoom zoom
    Zoom zoom, zoom zoom zoom

    [Kendrick Lamar]
    Shiiiiiit life could be like, a box of chocolates
    Quid pro quo, something for something, that’s the obvious
    Oh s---, flow so sick, don’t you swallow it
    Bitin’ my style, you sound vanilla poison positive
    I can just alleviate the rap industry politics
    Milk the game up never lactose intolerant
    The last remainder of real s---, you know the obvious
    Me? Scholarship though, streets put me through colleges
    Be all you can be, true, but the problem is
    A dream only a dream, if work could follow it
    Remind me of the homies that used to know me now follow this
    I’ll tell you my hypothesis, I’m probably just way too loyal
    “K-dizzle we’ll do it for you”
    My n----s think I’m a god, truthfully all of em spoiled
    Usually you’re never charged
    But something came over you once I took you to them f---in BET awards
    You lookin’ at [???] like they’re [???]
    So many rollies around you and you want all of ‘em
    Somebody told me you’re thinkin’ bout snatchin’ jewelry
    Shoulda listened to what my grandmama said to me

    [Bilal]
    s--- don’t change until you get up and wash yo’ a--- n-----
    s--- don’t change until you get up and wash yo’ a--- boy
    s--- don’t change until you get up and wash yo’ a--- n-----
    Woah now, slow down

    [Snoop Dogg]
    Once upon a time in a city so device called West Side Compton
    There stood a little n----- he was five-foot somethin’
    God bless the kid, took the homie to the show and this is what they said

    [Kendrick Lamar]
    “f--- am I supposed to do when I’m lookin’ at walkin’ licks
    The constant big money talk bout their mansion and foreign whips
    The profits and the passport, presidential glass floor
    Gold bottles, gold models sniffing up the a--- for
    Instagram flick, suckin d-ck, f--- is this
    One more sucka wavin’ with a flashy wrist
    My defense mechanism tell me to get him
    Quickly because he got it
    It’s a recession then why the f--- he a king of diamonds
    No more livin’ poor meet my four four
    When I see ‘em put the per diem on the floor
    Now Kendrick I know they your coworkers
    But it’s gon take a lot before this pistol go cold turkey
    Now I can watch his watch on the TV and be OK
    But see I’m on clock once that watch landin’ in LA
    Remember steal from the rich and givin’ it back to the poor
    Well that’s me at these awards”

    I guess my grandmama was warning the boy

    [Bilal]
    s--- don’t change until you get up and wash yo’ a--- n-----
    s--- don’t change until you get up and wash yo’ a--- boy
    s--- don’t change until you get up and wash yo’ a--- n-----
    Woah now, slow down

    [Snoop Dogg]
    Once upon a time in a city so device called West Side Compton
    There stood a little n----- he was five-foot somethin’
    Dazed and confused, talented but still under the neighborhood rules
    You can take ya boy out the hood but you can’t take the hood out the homie
    Took his show money stashed it in the mosey-wosey
    Hollywood’s nervous, f--- you good night, thank you much for your service
