“I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world.” PAC
a spark can easily be fanned into a flame
now I'd say kendrick is definitely inspired by PAC(see hiiipower and the vision described)but they are SEPARATE and DIFFERENT individuals
most people who listened to PAC can say the passion and energy he brought inspired them
now what you apply that inspiration to and the direction you take that inspiration is up to you
//////Illuminated by the hand of God, boy ain't that high
Illuminated by the hand of God, boy don't be shy//////
I've been lookin' for you my whole life, appetite
For the feeling I can barely describe, where you reside?
In a woman, is it in money, or mankind?
Something got me losing my mind
Where you at? From the front to the back
I'm lookin' for you, I react only when you react, ha
Thought I found you, back in the ghetto
When I was seventeen with the thirty-eight special
Maybe you're in a dollar bill, maybe you're not real
Maybe only the wealthy get to know how you feel
Maybe I'm paranoid, ha, maybe I, don't need you anyway
Don't lie to me, I'm, suicidal anyday
I could be your advocate
I could speak for you if you tell me what the matter is
I could preach for you with the mighty tongue
I'm the one, how can I, overcome
Negative energy when I feel infinitely and some?//////
those couple lines added to the hook
and the fifth final verse are striking to me
if this is the direction he's taking
I'm cool with it
to the energy and passion he's putting into his work*
real fukkin talk
