Title: “Double Up”

(Kendrick Lamar x West African Cadence & Flow – Afro-infused Boom Bap/Trap Hybrid, BPM: 94)

(Layered vocals, deep bass hums, and tribal drum rolls in the back)

Uh, yeah, uh, uh—two times, two ways, two lanes.

One mind, two brains, two vibes, two flames.

Eh, double up, double up, double up, double up!

One time for the kings who came,

Two times for the ones who reign—uh!

Two hands, two fists, two hits, don’t miss!

Two lanes, I switch, two worlds, one drift.

I move like a shadow in the nighttime,

Two sides of the hustle, still the same grind.

I was born in the East where the sun rise,

But my spirit in the West where the gold lies.

Two tongues, two slangs, speak in both sides,

Two feet in the land, man, I won’t hide.

Two brothers in the cut, watch the gods rise,

Two elders in the back tellin’ war cries.

Two queens in the tribe make the earth shake,

Two hearts, one drum, let the soul wake.

Eh, double up, double up! (We dey move!)

Eh, level up, level up! (We no lose!)

Eh, shake the ground, shake the ground! (Make dem choose!)

Two times, two ways—man, we make dem move!

Two times, double that, run it back,

Two drums, one heart, feel the clap.

Two flames, two kings on the map,

Double up, double up—where you at?

Two steps, two flights, take off,

Two hands in the sky, break off.

Two minds, one goal, stay raw,

Double up, double up—won’t fall!

Born as a king, still move like a peasant,

Two different worlds, but I talk with the essence.

Two-tone chain, but my neck feel heavy,

Two passports, still walk like a legend.

Two choices, two voices, speak now!

Two seconds, two weapons, stand down!

Two prayers, two blessings, rain down!

Two gods in the mirror, stay crowned!

Two visions, one path, one mission,

Two steps on the ground, no slippin’.

Two knives in the dark, still grippin’,

Two sides of the war, still winnin’!

(Chanting in Yoruba/Twi-style cadence)

“Eh baba, eh baba, we dey move like kings,

Eh baba, eh baba, we dey shake their sins.”

Two sides to the life, man, I pick both wins,

Two drums, two gods, man, we move like winds!

Two times, double that, run it back,

Two drums, one heart, feel the clap.

Two flames, two kings on the map,

Double up, double up—where you at?

Two ways, two fates, two flames still burn,

Two kings, two thrones, two names still turn.

Two steps, two doors, one path we earn,

Two hands to the sky, let the ancestors learn.

(Drums fade, deep bassline lingers, echoes of “Double up, double up” chant in the background.)
