I mean, is "he's conscious but gang affiliated" a shot when that's been Kendrick's thing from the jump?Hes 5'2 or less,conscience yet gang affiliated,barely raps. Im sure there are plenty more angles. But if you dont really wanna be mean I guess your right.
See, a lot of y'all don't understand Kendrick Lamar
Because you wonder how I could talk about money, hoes, clothes, God, and history all in the same sentence
You know what all them things have in common?
Only half of the truth, if you tell it
See I spent twenty-three years on this earth searching for answers
'Til one day I realized I had to come up with my own
I'm not on the outside looking in
I'm not on the inside looking out
I'm in the dead fukking center, looking around
You ever seen a newborn baby kill a grown man?
That's an analogy for the way the world make me react
My innocence been dead
So, the next time I talk about money, hoes, clothes, God, and history all in the same sentence
Just know I meant it, and you felt it
'Cause you too are searching for answers
I'm not the next pop star, I'm not the next socially-aware rapper
I am a human motherfukkin' being over dope-ass instrumentation
Kendrick Lamar
