They say don't get lost, follower the leader
And don't do that, be a believer
When the sun goes down, you better hide
It's a dangerous world, better stay inside and
Run along, run along
It's a long long way, home from here
Run along, run along
It's a long long way, home from here, yeah Joe Budden – Runaway

“Don’t get lost in the dangerous world” is a metaphor for going down the wrong path and abusing yourself with drug addiction. Stay inside and run along is a metaphor for when u feel the urge to try the drugs, DONT! Also plays along his earlier lines of “Sometimes I wanna just be normal like them other kids”, on rainy days during elementary school, kids stay inside, so staying inside plays off that line in being a kid and staying inside, while this is not going down the wrong path and not doing drugs.

Wasn't with me in the gym in Jersey, lost his team
But none of my shots touched the Nets anyway Joe Budden (Ft. Emanny) – Now Or Never

Clever wordplay. New Jersey’s NBA team was called the Nets, now there Brooklyn. Notice the sentence with Jersey is past-tense, then he “lost his team”, and none of his shots touched the “Nets”.

Clever wordplay with the words “out” and “in”. If your OUT of your mind, how can you be INsane?

Influenced by niggas that spoke the gang culture fluent Kendrick Lamar (Ft. Ab-Soul & Jay Rock) – The Heart Pt. 3

His inspiration was everything around him. Most likely, majority of his friends growing up in Compton were in gangs. Speaking the gang culture “fluent” is a clever way of stating they were in gangs.

Trying to smile in a room of killers, turn into a crash site Kendrick Lamar (Ft. Ab-Soul & Jay Rock) – The Heart Pt. 3

Like his idol said:

You have to be able to smile through all the bullshit

The “Crash Site” represents the repetitive sad result. For example, someone always being killed, shot, raped, etc.

Thinking, "How can I make an example, for this generation of Compton?"
My biggest fear is not feeling accomplished Kendrick Lamar (Ft. Ab-Soul & Jay Rock) – The Heart Pt. 3

Kendrick is constantly stressing on how to reach out to young kids growing up in Compton and trying to make sure they don’t pursue in the gangs around them. His biggest fear is not having a positive effect on the kids of Compton, which would lead him to feeling like he has accomplished nothing.

"I never hung out with the loud mouth" (Black Hippy – U.O.E.N.O.) | accepted

Also, notice the wordplay “hung out”, complimenting the Tarzan can get swung on line.

"Well I'd probably do it differently if second the chance ..." (T.I. – Sorry) | accepted

Also, for those who currently want to make the same mistake now, Andre 3000 is that “cool ass older man” who’s letting them know about their mistakes in advance.

"Ill education baby" (Kendrick Lamar – Good Kid) | accepted

and young women….

Kendrick Lamar – Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst | rejected

Is the character from the first verse (Dave) from another song is it he a new character?

"And they waiting on Kendrick like the first and the fifte..." (Kendrick Lamar – Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe) | accepted

He might also suggestions this is the biggest debut since an idol of his, Lupe Fiasco, a rapper who is on the label 1st & 15th.

"Live and learn, sippin' syrup with my vision blurred / Ta..." (DJ Drama – My Moment) | pending

He may also be hinting he is purposely keeping his vision blurred (from codeine) to avoid witnessing the scenarios around him.

"How surprising I'm admiring that mirror / I'm inspiring t..." (DJ Drama – My Way) | pending

He can also be stating that usually rappers have to sell out to become famous, which is why Kendrick is surprised he’s admiring the image in his mirror, himself. He has not sold out, stayed lyrical, reps Compton, and became one of the biggest names now.

"'Raris too expensive and they way too hard to maintain / ..." (Lupe Fiasco – ITAL (Roses)) | accepted

He tells them to get a Camry because it has a STRONG resale value, compared to a ‘rari. So if he buys a 'rari, he will “watch that ho depreciate”, but not if he gets a Camry.
