the 6th track -- "Poetic Justice"

Kendrick meets up with Sherane

"i write poems to you and when your in the mood for empathy theres blood in my pen better yet when your with your friends and them
i just wanna know who you are i just wanna show you off
when you cursed his name

they say coversation rule a nation i can tell
i can never right my wrongs less i write it down for real"

"you can get it
you can get it
you can get it

-Skit @ the end of this song --(dudes find kendrick In his VAN @ Sheranes house)

Where Your Grandma Stay
Huh My N****
THis MAAD CITY



"you killed my cosuin in 94' fukk YOUR TRUCE
Craw yoour head in that noose
you wind up dead in the noose
no peace truce treaty
bodies on top of bodies
when you hop on that trolly make sure your colors correct
make sure your corporate or they be callin your mother collect
you mvin backwards if you say you sleepin with a tech
buy a chopper and have a doctor on speed dial i guess"



(chorus)
"Man down

N****
fukk Who You KNow
Where You From
My N****
Where Your Grandma Stay
Huh My N****
THis MAAD CITY


(kendrick)
"freesh outta school cuz i was a highscool grad
sleepin in the living room of my mommas pad
reality struck i seen a white car crash hitt the lightpole
2 n***** hopped out on foot and dashed
pops said i need a chopper i thought i beleieved him
security guard for a month then ended up leaving
i got fired cuz i was inpsired by all my friiends
to stage a robbery the 3rd staurday i clocked in
gang signs thrown up cocaine laced and marijuana
they wanna know why we smoke now
imagine if your 1st blunt had you foaming at the mouth
i was straight tweekin the nect weekend
we broke even i mad a legion a promise to see you bleeding
you know the reasons but will neverr know my life
aka comptons human scarifice"


(Kendrick)
If i told you i killed a n**** at 16 would you believe me
or proceed me to be innocent kendrick you see in the street
wiith a basketball
and some now and laters to eat
imagine all of my skeletons
would you jump in the seat
would you say my inteligence now is great relief
then its safe to say that athe nect generation maybe can sleep
with dreams of being a lawyer or doctor
instead a boy with a chopper
that hold the colda-sack hostage
Kill em all if the gots ta

:ohlawd:, i thought ya was overhypin this shyt, but kendrick just dropped some methadon, very potent album, intravenous music, AOTY contender, if not the best. i haven't even fully digested this yet, but it evoked some strong feelings when i thumped it, one of the best showcases of sharp lyricism, substance,production,concepts, and cohesiveness i've heard in awhile sans LIG.
i expect this nikka 2 be a legend and nothin less, he put on 4 the left coast type strong on this, nikka solidified his spot with 1 album. ya wc nikkaz bout 2 fukk around and go on another run........ :salute:

1. Kendrick is about to meet up with this girl called Sherane. He takes his mother's van to meet her and he bumps into two guys. If this was a movie it would cut.

2. You then realize track 1 was a flash-forward, and this is the actual first track. At the end of this track, Kendrick's homies pick him up.

3. Self explanatory, he does a freestyle in the backseat whilst they're driving.

4. Once again, fairly self explanatory, they cruise around, smoking blunts, drinking and rob someone's house and almost get caught

5. They then talk about meeting up later at 10.30, cause Kendrick has to go meet up with the girl Sherane and fukk her. This is somewhat a "filler" song for the album, and just gives a bit more insight about how they're all chasing money.

6. This is where we meet with track 1, Kendrick take's his mother's van and borrows it and meets up. Kendrick talks about bad bytches in this, and Sherane is definitely one of them. At the end of THIS song, we hear the same melody we heard in track 1 and it flashbacks in to the two guys asking where the fukk Kendrick is from.

7. They beat the fukk out of Kendrick and in this song he even says "they will never respect the good kid maad city".

8. Kendrick is mad as fukk for being beat up, once again another "filler" track but at the end of this track, he meets up with his homies and they're helping him recover and give him some liquor drink since he's just been beaten the fukk up.

9. Talks about the liquor abuse, following on from track 8 and then at the end of this song, they see the guys that fukked up Kendrick and shoot at them. They shoot back and kill one of the homie's brother. (NOT kendrick's brother)

10. Flash forward to present day and it's no longer in the story. The first two verses are from the perspective of the friend (the one who's brother died) and how he feels about the whole situation. It's revealed that he wasn't happy with Section 80's Keyshia's Song since that was actually based on his sister. He talks further about it and says that his story isn't going to change shyt on the streets. Throughout the whole song the chorus is "promise that you will sing about me". Towards the end of the verse (from the perspective of the friend) he says that he'll never fade away, and it is somewhat true, the memory will never fade away, but the friend actually passed away, HENCE why Kendrick didn't have him do the verse himself. From here we can see that Kendrick feels complete guilt for the death of his friend's brother and it seems that when he did a song about his friend's sister (keyshia) it didn't help the situation. However, he still was friends with Kendrick and asked Kendrick to promise to tell the story of his brother.

11. We cut back to the story and the boys wanna go and kill the guys that shot Kendrick's friend's brother, they are confronted by a lady of the church who convinces them. Kendrick then receives a phone call from his mother about him taking it seriously and going to the studio since he got a phone call about it.

12. I assume this is an epilogue of Kendrick and how he progressed and made it out of Compton to get studio time with Dr. Dre.

Last point is kind of a reach but overall I think this is the narrative of the album
