I just want to note that I think the 'starting to see aliens on Rosecrans' bit is Kendrick talking about gentrification; in Compton and in rap. White folk watching en masse while he gotta do Drake bad publicly. "they want to see me do my dance. I let them watch my do my dance"

homie said 'I'll take you out in front of company'

:wow:

wut.
...no it's not.
it's an interpolation/reference to Scotty by D4L
ironically, making it one of 2 Fabo references on GNX. Random shyt fr fr.


But the notable changes in the lyrics are purposeful. 'I seen the aliens hold hands' isn't a random line. and I doubt the 'aliens' on Rosecrans are green dudes with big heads, coming from Kendrick.

Fam, it’s the same shyt. Scotty/Geeked Up both birds of the same feather.

And why wouldn’t Kendrick make a random reference? Not everything Ken says is a double and triple meaning.

because the album has on it:
a song personifying his pen.
a song speaking to past-life regression while also being about the soul-taking nature of the music industry.
a song that's title is itself a sub.
and because the man in question been hiding shots in his music in plain sight for multiple albums that he only revealed who they were about this year.
That man has been picking fights with all of rap most of his career talking about how seriously he takes his music and what he says
I just don't think talking about 'aliens' is some random shyt like it was when Fabo was shouting out Yasmin and Chocolate Porsche:yeshrug:
not saying I'm right. But if people think Kendrick isn't the type to hide something like I suggested in the song, they aren't paying attention.
