Kendrick Lamar
I stole a Bible, is that a sin?
Kendrick Lamar
It's a long time coming as far as the work that I put in. Now I know that I got the stamp but what counts is what comes behind. That's what's really important. Upholding that stamp and not only keeping the energy my way but also spreading that energy out to other artists that are coming up on the West Coast.
Kendrick Lamar
