[Intro: Colin Clive & Kendrick Lamar]
It's alive, it's moving
It's alive, oh it's alive
It's alive, it's alive
It's alive in the name of god
Now I know what it feels like to be God
I, K-Dizzle

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
I rap with a Pyrex in the projects
I'm crack in a pot, I'm a prospect
I'm a pirate on a dock full of dope, uh
I can dissect any rapper
You could vote for the Lochness
You can not test no King in a Tesla
Bitch, I ride like a freight train parked outside
And my young niggas came with the extras, uh

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
It's Alive (Uh, uh, shit, shit, uh, uh, shit, shit)...

*Lyrics from Snippet 2*

[Verse: Kendrick Lamar]
...I'm not a newcomer, I'm a new wonder elite
Break the handcuffs, choke slam the officer...
