[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
Thuggin' on other planets, pluckin' my black antennas
Listenin' for freelancers that bitted my style in famish
I don't allow the cameras, I don't allow the managers
I just break down the answers and hope humanity handles it
This is no radio fluke, this is me takin' your food
This is you bullied to school, give up your jacket and shoes
This how I practice the rules, this is what happen when dudes
Like Flying Lotus notice the genius they wrote it is rude
You should promote it, I diagnosed it with viruses through
Microphone's hopin' the plug is runnin' inside of Pro Tools
How can I dodge you buffoons?
I could collide a kaleidoscope with the stars and the moon
The moment I morph in my mood
These are the gorgeous'd of tunes
Police reported then tried to sort it with criminal views
This is intentional fuel
For the fireball dragon, fire shots where you wrastlin'
AK over the dash and now vacate with the Jurassics
The jungle, the wicked masses, the saber-tooth eighty proof
On my breath, this the look of death, this ain't auntie's Mercedes Coupe, yes

[Outro]
Buffalo soldiers at war, you shot fast, but that ain't the final score
Buffalo soldiers at war, you shot fast, but that ain't the final score

Steven Ellison (born October 7, 1983), better known by his stage name Flying Lotus, is an experimental multi-genre music producer, electronic musician, DJ and rapper from Los Angeles, California.

Lotus first gained fame in 2006, when he saw an advertisement on Adult Swim asking for song submissions. He had already begun experimenting with beats, so he sent in a few songs under the name “Flying Lotus” — a lucid dreaming inspired moniker. Adult Swim accepted his songs, and soon his instrumentals were being used all over the channel; everything from theme songs to advertisements.

After his sudden rise to fame, Lotus began interning at Stones Throw Records, the label home to rap legend MF DOOM and Lotus’s biggest inspiration, prestigious producer J Dilla. Lotus began living out of the label’s offices and his grandmothers couch, and he started to work on his debut album, 1983.
