Mortal Man - Kendrick Lamar & National Symphony Orchestra

Dude the fact that there is no professional recording of this is is an outrage

Reminds me of the Reasonable Doubt live with symphony performance for the 10th anniversary. That's beyond stupid they didn't record it for posterity/history

[@TravelWright22]

an people actually said this album wouldn't work live lmao

[@maxshabazz1543]

Lol

[@AlmightyJagg]

I get what they mean from the perspective of, man you need the right band and musicians to be able to replicate what he cooked in that studio. It’s the quality that’s feared not being matched you know?

[@pierre2frostyy]

@@AlmightyJagghe made im pretty sure the whole damn album on garageband

[@Teets187]

The BASS though! got the camera shaking

[@coreydavis6681]

That's actually the kick on the drums

[@TheDreRock]

+Corey Davis I think they mean the amount of bass pumping from that kick

[@1truegent593]

now if ever someone decides to frame him for something or if he ever gets into a bad situation this song steps in to ask how fast fans loyalty will last

[@1truegent593]

Lol bruh you stupid AIRG01​

[@craigvaughn6564]

1 TrueGent but what if he was actually in the wrong? Would you stand by him?

[@MyPimpinAfro14]

He kinda going through it rn. That whole situation where he kicked off the girl on stage for saying nigga put him in a bad light. Fans are so quick to deny someone's greatness once they do something they dislike

[@JpegErza]

thekickback that was like one year ago bro. But I do think that people are retarded for immediately turning on Kendrick after all his talent and this song, that’s what you call a fake fan

[@buttermoth5861]

2024 and his track record has cleared him against drake’s baseless accusations. We’re still fans.

[@andremora2965]

Kendrick for president 2020

[@jadencarr8327]

No, please no. Kendrick isn't the type to be president. Politics will consume and change your view of the world for the worst, and I don't want that to happen to Kdot

[@aunthaumv3711]

[@jadencarr8327]

+deez135 nuatz Just making a point bruh

[@aunthaumv3711]

Jaden Carr ye, cool. But in all honesty, i dont think anyone in their right mind would give presidency to a rapper, regardless of the points u made.

[@Lamusicful]

+deez135 nuatz Pls. There are people who aren't in their right mind voting for Donald Trump who's at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to electing a President.

Oh, oh, woah Oh, oh Oh, ooh Yeah yeah, yeah Yeah yeah, yeah Yeah yeah Yeah yeah, yeah The ghost of Mandela, hope my flows stay propellin' Let these words be your Earth and moon, you consume every message As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression And with that being said, my nigga, let me ask this question When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? When shit hit the fan (one two, one two) Uh when shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? The ghost of Mandela, hope my flows stay propellin' Let these words be your Earth and moon, you consume every message As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression And with that being said, my nigga, let me ask this question When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? Won't you look to your left and right? Make sure you ask your friends When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? Do you believe in me? Are you deceiving me? Could I let you down easily, is your heart where it need to be? Is your smile on permanent? Is your vow on lifetime? Would you know where the sermon is if I died in this next line? If I'm tried in a court of law, if the industry cut me off If the government want me dead, plant cocaine in my car Would you judge me a drug-head or see me as K. Lamar? Or question my character and degrade me on every blog? Want you to love me like Nelson, want you to hug me like Nelson I freed you from being a slave in your mind, you're very welcome You tell me my song is more than a song, it's surely a blessing But a prophet ain't a prophet til they ask you this question When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? Won't you look to your left and right? Make sure you ask your friends When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? The ghost of Mandela, hope my flows stay propellin' Let my words be your Earth and moon, you consume every message As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression And with that Do you believe in me? How much you believe in her? You think she gon' stick around if them 25 years occur? You think he can hold you down when you down behind bars, hurt? You think y'all on common ground if you promise to be the first? Can you be immortalized without your life being expired? Even though you share the same blood, is it worth the time? Like, who got your best interest? Like, how much are you dependent? How clutch are the people that say they love you and who pretending? How tough is your skin when they turn you in? Do you show forgiveness? What brush do you bend when dusting your shoulders from being offended? What kind of den did they put you in when the lions start hissing? What kind of bridge did they burn? Revenge or your mind when it's mentioned You wanna love like Nelson, you wanna be like Nelson You wanna walk in his shoes, but your peacemaking seldom You wanna be remembered that delivered the message That considered the blessing of everyone This your lesson for everyone, say When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? Won't you look to your left and right? Make sure you ask your friends When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? The voice of Mandela, hope this flow stay propellin' Let my word be your Earth and moon, you consume every message As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression And if you riding with me, nigga I been wrote off before, I got abandonment issues I hold grudges like bad judges, don't let me resent you That's not Nelson-like-want you to love me like Nelson I went to Robben's Island analysing, that's where his cell is So I could find clarity-like, how much you cherish me? Is this relationship a fake, or real as the heavens be? See I got to question it all; family, friends, fans, cats, dogs Trees, plants, grass, how the wind blow, Murphy's Law Generation X-will I ever be your ex? Flaws of a baby step', mauled by the mouth a bit Pause, put me under stress, crawled under rocks, duckin' y'all It's respect-but then tomorrow, put my back against the wall How many leaders you said you needed then left 'em for dead? Is it Moses? Is it Huey Newton or Detroit Red? Is it Martin Luther? JFK? Shooter-you assassin Is it Jackie? Is it Jesse? Oh, I know it's Michael Jackson-oh When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? That nigga gave us "Billie Jean" you say he touched those kids? When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan? The ghost of Mandela, hope my flows stay propelling Let my word be your Earth and moon, you consume every message As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression And if you riding with me, nigga, let me ask this question, nigga

[@sethchandler2539]

See y'all don't understand me My plan B is to win ya hearts before I win a Grammy Kendrick Lamar, words like a sword in the hands of a Spartan Marching on Rosecrans in Compton You can't cause conflict or corrupt my spirit I'm on point like period I've been there and gone before you get near it Ooh wee, that boy remind me of a young Martin Luther The way he piece up troopers, then round up shooters Like Malcolm X did, I stand for what I believe in Family, God and honor From Chicago, my daddy and my momma Came to Compton to accomplish one thing Raise a king, reign supreme, named Kendrick I ain't lying, it stand for king and I am one My unborn son and grandson will live royal From the coochie to the soil The meek shall inherit the Earth Well I've had this world since birth Feel the good kid's hunger The Crips made strong, the Pirus made stronger Muscle in my heart Stare at the eyes of Mozart, then tell him I'm the genius Do my dougie and grab my penis Cause I means this with all my soul And you can't control greatness 'less you hating with the heart of Satan But even that can't stop it Nigga, get out my wallet and put passion in your logic Passion in your life, the passion of my Christ is in me And if you say it ain't, you may offend me Damn that boy good Bright as Thomas Edison, but Gucci man hood He stood alone for so long Prolonged his whole career, but now he's here You can shoot shots or cheer cause I... am

[@ariel-y-e-m]

+Andre Mora 100%, if you turn up the volume you can hear him pretty clearly say "Gucci Man Hood" and at the end he says "I am, You are, Kendrick Lamar", which is an édit from the Reebok version of the song
