However, when he asked the White man, he asked for “a piece of mines.” This shows the greed of the White man and the capitalistic mindset that he holds in order to take advantage of the minorities. When Kendrick asked for advice from different races, the Asian man said, “ A peace of mind” the Indian man said, “a piece of land” and finally the Black man said, “a piece of pu**y”.
On this track, he talks about Compton and waiting on God’s blessing for example: Getting God on the phone in which he replies “it won’t be long” therefore everyone’s blessing is coming just like theirs all did, but it’s important to be patient and keep working.Īlthough short, this track gave the audience a powerful message. But constantly mentions his “day ones” back home and his TDE team that supports him referring to them as the “mafia of the west”. Kendrick talks about his new life of fame and fortune. But he creates the change of tone towards the end with a positive outlook that faith and love are the only things that can save us from what we believe we are doomed to. He refers to danger at every corner whether in alleyways or in the church. This covers all calamities in the world, which are only getting worse and becoming even more prominent. Overtime, the love only grew deeper for a fellow Gemini who not only wanted to express his feelings through music but also to utilize this source to educate the audiences especially the youth who are the future, which is what he focuses on throughout this album and To Pimp A Butterfly.
Dot, I’ve always admired his flow and how lyrically blessed he was. For someone who has faced so much adversity growing up in Compton being where he is now is just so admirable, and it continues…įirst and foremost, being my absolute favorite rapper since he surfaced under the name of K.
