Predator's Prey
Kendrick Lamar

Verse 1:

They try to weave their web, lurk in the shade, cowards in the dark
Whispers echo through the alleys, feeding off the fear, it’s stark
See, they mistake the silence, thinkin' we ain't aware
But it's a storm that's brewin', nigga, best beware

Watch 'em play pretend, wolves in sheep's attire
But ain't no mask gon' hide the flames when we rise higher
Predator’s prey, but we the hunters in the shadows
Watch your back, motherfucker, we comin' with the gallows

Chorus:

Broke the chains, we scream loud, won't be held down
Hear our voice in every city, every town
Predator's prey but we rise and we fight
Stand tall together in this endless night

Verse 2:

Cycle of sin, they think it’s just a game to play
But the fire in our hearts, gonna light the way
From Compton streets to city heights, we stand strong
Forging paths of justice, where these evils don’t belong

Yeah, they try me, but my spirit never shatters
I’m built from the pain, a freedom fighter’s ladder
We protect the innocent, shield 'em from the creep
With every step we take, this ain’t no surface, it’s deep

Chorus:

Broke the chains, we scream loud, won't be held down
Hear our voice in every city, every town
Predator’s prey but we rise and we fight
Stand tall together in this endless night

Bridge:

We see through the lies, we know the games they try to play
Won’t let 'em feed on fear, it ends today
With unity we rise, crushin' ‘em under the weight
Of truth and justice, mercy never comes too late

Chorus:

Broke the chains, we scream loud, won't be held down
Hear our voice in every city, every town
Predator's prey but we rise and we fight
Stand tall together in this endless night

Outro:

For every child, for every broken soul
We break the cycle, reclaim control
No predator's gonna win, this is our decree
In the face of darkness, it’s our light they see

Predator’s prey, but now we lead the fight
From shadows to dawn, we shine so bright
