THIS WHOLE ALBUM, lyrically divine and so organized. When listening to this album, I not only got chills up my spine but made a connection to Kendrick, as if I was there during his childhood and years of adolescence. The way he set up the album, shows his feel good songs and songs that make you fathom an upbringing such as his. Kendrick as an artist made me think about my life, and how much I take it for granted. Thank You for reading, and a big congrats to Kendrick on his Grammy, glad to see an artist put such time, blood, sweat, tears into music.

first one is from the perspective of one of dave's brother that got shot by the guys who where at sherane's house (porbably her brothers) who did beat kendrick up. i also tear up at that part. second part is keisha's sister . it is just pure genius to make her part slowly fade outto imply that after she said she never fade away, in the end she still did third kendrick himself.

I'll wait Your rebuttal a little too late And if you have a album date, just make sure I'm not in the song Cause I don't need the attention bring enough of that on my own And matter fact did I mention that I physically feel great? A doctor's approval is a waste of time, I know I'm straight I'll probably live longer than you and never fade away I'll never fade away, I'll never fade away I know my fate, and I'm on the grind for this cake I'mma get or die trying, I'm eyeing every male gender with intentions of buying You lying to these motherfuckers, talking about you can help with my story You can help me if you sell this pussy for me, nigga Don't ignore me nigga where the fuck is u going nigga, this bullshit... When the lights shut off And its my turn to settle down My main concern Promise that you will sing about me Promise that you will sing about me Sometimes I look in a mirror and ask myself Am I really scared of passing away If it's today I hope I hear a Cry out from heaven so loud it can water down a demon With the holy ghost till it drown in the blood of Jesus I wrote some raps that make sure that my lifeline Rake in the cent of a reaper, ensuring that my allegiance With the other side may come soon And if I'm doomed, may the wound Help my mother be blessed for many moons I suffer a lot And every day the glass mirror get tougher to watch I tie my stomach in knots And I'm sure not why I'm infatuated with death My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats That can come about Cause the tongue is mighty powerful And I can name a list of your favorites that probably vouch Maybe cause I'm dreamer and sleep is the cousin of death Really stuck in the scheme of, wondering when I'mma rest And you're right, your brother was a brother to me And your sister's situation was the one that put me In a direction to speak of something that's realer than the TV screen By any means, wasn't trying to offend or come between Her personal life, I was like "it need to be told Cursing the life of 20 generations after her" so Exactly would have happened if I hadn't continued rappin Or steady being distracted by money drugs and four Fives, I count lives all on these songs Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you'll be strong Fighting for your rights, even when you're wrong And hope that at least one of you sing about me when I'm gone Now am I worth it? Did I put enough work in?

I lost count Dreams are balled in like Spalding But only shotty bounce The reaper calling I'm cottonmouth Money is power, yours is ours Lay with a snitch, die with a coward Hope we get rich, hope we can tower Over the city with vanity with the music louder The same song A black flower I'll show you how to Dye your thirst Dye your thirst Dye your thirst What are we doing? Who are we fooling? Hell is hot, fire is proven To burn for eternity, return of the student That never learned how to live right just by how to shoot it Tired of running, choirs is humming Tell us to visit, we lying about coming Now back to business, loading the guns in Back of the Buick, your hood is viewed And the beef is bubbling It's no discussion, hereditary All of my cousins Dying of thirst Dying of thirst Dying of thirst Too many sins I'm running out Somebody send Me a well for the drought See, all I know, is taking notes On taking this life for granted Granted, if he provoke My best days, I stress days (Lord forgive me for all my sins for I not know...) My best days, I stress days Say "Fuck the world, " my sex slave Money, pussy and greed was my next crave Whatever it is, know it's my next grave Tired of running, tired of running Tired of tumbling, tired of running Tired of tumbling Back once my momma say "See a pastor, give me a promise What if today was the rapture, and you completely tarnished The truth will set you free, so to me be completely honest You dying of thirst You dying of thirst So hop in that water, and pray that it works

I heard this song in my sleep and it woke me up. It has an "Outkast" feel to it. Kendrick is the man.

+alejandro vigil And Kendrick took it from Biggie's "I Got A Story To Tell", which came from an Al Green record called "I'm Glad You're Mine". It goes further back than just two songs! :D

+Dillon Yarbrough the whole album of to pimp a butterfly is a continuation of this album. this was basically his story of before the stardom and to pimp a butterfly is the part 2. Crazy how k.dot can do all this. Fun fact: to pimp a butterfly is one entire poem to tupac. That's why you hear tupac at the end of the album.
