Here are the lyrics to Kendrick's diss 'Not Like Us':

Intro

Psst, I see dead people

Mustard on the beat, h*

Verse 1

Aye

Mustard on the beat, h*

Deebo any rap, n***a, he a free throw

Man down

Call an ambulance, tell him, "Breath, bro"

Nail a n***a to the cross, he walk around like Teezo

What's up with these jabroni a** n***as tryna see Compton?

The industry can hate me, f**k ’em all and they mama

How many opps you really got? I mean, it's too many options

I'm finna pass on this body, I'm John Stockton

Verse 2

Beat your a*s and hide the Bible if God watchin'

Sometimes you gotta pop out and show n***as

Certified boogeyman, I'm the one they up the score with ’em

Walk him down, whole time I know he got some h* in him

Pole on him, extort s**t, bully the ’fro on him

Say Drake, I hear you like ’em young

You better not ever go to cell block one

To any b***h that talk to him and they in love

Just make sure you hide your little sister from him

They tell me Chubbs the only one that get your hand-me-downs

Then party at the party playin' with his nose now

And Baka got a weird case, why is he around?

Certified lover boy, certified pedophile

Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop, Dot f**k ’em up

Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop, I'ma do my stuff

Why he trollin' like a b***h? Ain't you tired?

Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A-Minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Chorus

They not like us

They not like us

They not like us

They not like us

They not like us

They not like us

Verse 3

You think the Bay gon' let you disrespect ’Pac, n***a?

I think that Oakland show gon' be your last stop, n***a

Did Cole foul, I don't know why you still pretending

What is the owl? Bird n***as and bird b**ches, go

The audience not dumb

Shape the stories how you want, hey Drake, they not slow

Rabbit hole is still deep, I can go further, I promise

Ain't that something, B stand for b***h and you Malibu most wanted

Ain't no law, you're a ball boy, fetch Gatorade or something

Since 2009, I had this b***h jumping

You n***as get a wedgie, be flipped over your boxers

What OVO for? The other vaginal option? P***y

N***a better straighten they posture

Got famous all up in Compton

Might write this for the doctrine

Tell the pop star, "Quit hiding"

F**k a caption, want action

No accident and I'm hands-on, he f**k around and get polished

F**ked on Wayne girl while he was in jail, that's conniving

Then get his face tatted like a b***h apologizin'

I'm glad D-Rose came home, y'all didn't deserve him neither

From Alondra down to Central, n***a better not speak on Serena

And your homeboy need subpoena

That predators move in flocks

That name gotta be registered and placed on neighborhood watch

I lean on you n***as like another line of Wock

Yeah, it's all eyes on me and I'm a send it up to ’Pac

Aye, put the whole label on me, I'ma get him dropped

Aye, sweet chin music and I won't pass the aux, aye

How many stocks do I really have in stock? Aye

One, two, three, four, five, plus five, aye

Devil is a lie, he a 69 God, aye

Freaky a*s n***as need to stay they a*s inside, aye

Throw they a*s up like a fresh pack of za, aye

City is back up, it's a must we outside, ayeChorusThey not like us

They not like us

They not like us

They not like us

They not like us

They not like us

Verse 4

Once upon a time, all of us was in chains

Homie still double down callin' us some slaves

Atlanta was the Mecca, building railroads and trains

Bear with me for a second, let me put y'all on game

The settlers was usin' town folk to make ’em richer

Fast-forward 2024 you got the same agenda

You run to Atlanta when you need a check balance

Let me break it down for you, this the real n***a challenge

You called Future when you didn't see the club

Lil Baby help you get your lingo up

21 gave you false street cred

Thug made you feel like you a slime in your head

Quavo said you can be from Northside (what?)

2Chainz say you good, but he lied

You run to Atlanta when you need a few dollars

No you not a colleague, you a f**kin' colonizer

The family matter and the truth of the matter, it was God's plans to show you the liar

Mmm, Mmhmm

He a fan, he a fan, he a fan, hmm

He a fan, he a fan, he a

Freaky-a*s n***a, he a 69 God

Freaky-a*s n***a, he a 69 God

Hey, hey, hey, hey, run for your life

Hey, hey, hey, hey, run for your life

Freaky-a*s n***a, he a 69 God

Freaky-a*s n***a, he a 69 God

Hey, hey, hey, hey, run for your life

Hey, hey, hey, hey, run for your lifeLet me hear you say, OV-H*

OV-H*

Say, OV-H*

OV-H*

Step that way

Then step this way

Outro

Then step this way

Step that way

Then step this way

Step that way
