I’ll try my best to explain as this genuinely one of the best songs ever made. This Kendrick rapping from the perspective of tragic stories of people he knew growing up in Compton. The first verse is a from the perspective of a male who was a gang member who tells Kendrick about the events of his brother passing, then he tells Kendrick to tell this story when he makes it big, he unfortunately died to gang violence as he was a piru (blood) before he can see Kendrick make it, hence the “if I die before your album drops *gunshots*”
Second verse is the perspective of a young female with an older sister named Keisha (you must listen to Keisha’s song on section 80 for it to make sense) who was a prostitute because it was her only means of survival & this is her little sister speaking on her perspective hence she said that Keisha’s reality is her future (following the same footsteps) Keisha was killed while being raped. This young lady was traumatized by her sisters passing as Kendrick tries to warn her not to go down the same path, but she doesn’t listen and says “I’ll probably live longer than you, and never fadeaway” but as she keeps talking her voice fadeaway as her emotion doesn’t allow her to listen and she too dies because she fades away (genius)
Third verse is Kendrick reminiscing on the events that occurred causing his stomach to turn, and he feels survivors guilt & remorse all for things that were not his fault. He explains how he wrote these raps to bring awareness of the vulgar and tragic stories of people he loved and deemed good people out in horrible situations (Good Kid, Mad City) then questions his own morality while leading a cry of hope for the weak to one day become strong including himself and hopes he’s done enough for someone to sing about him as well (he has)
This is an absolute genius of a song that does not get the praise it deserves. This is one of the greatest songs ever with a chorus that can be chanted throughout the universe, thank you Kendrick for painting such a tragic story so beautifully
Thank you 🙏
Couldn't have said it any different way
keisha'🎉🎉s song
This songs gets plenty praise bro. It’s revered as one of the best rap songs ever made
Keisha’s sister didn’t die from being raped. She died from HIV/AIDS. Which is why she said a doctor’s approval isn’t something she needs, because she never gets tested. Her voice faded away because HIV takes time to progress to AIDS so it happens over time.
You have to listen to the album that this song is on “Good Kid Maad City” to understand this song. It’s an entire story. Also his song “Keisha’s Song” will help you understand the second verse
Thank you
Echoing this post. This album is a tremendous story of redemption and included as part of the title is "a short film by Kendrick Lamar". I appreciate you for your visual analysis so much, the entire album can be viewed in your mind as a film even though it's just music. Enjoy
@@bigfootserg ❤️
“These Walls” on TPAB concludes the first verse on “Sing About Me” also.
It’s basically a three part story on three different songs
your mom is so intelligent, even with alot of context missing she quickly grasped so many things, like why kendrick sings the chorus that way
Thank you ❤
This was a very difficult song with a lot of layers and meaning and I do hope we can open up a conversation here and yall enlighten me. But be respectful ❤❤
I love the videos your in! You're so wholesome and sweet! And hilarious 😂
This is probably his best to me even though it's very sad
@@LilWeaselMusicthank you❤
Love this but go ahead and give your mom the insight to understand better, I can tell you we’re holding back but I think it’s more helpful for her to get it
@@MillionHiers that’s not the case , my son and I both like to be educated by the culture
Your mom did a fantastic job of taking in the desperation that this work is meant to make you feel. Her empathy is on display here.
Thank you ❤
She is such an empathetic person. It’s really touching that she has that type of connection with someone’s music when she hears it
What kind words! Thank you ❤
y'all have gotta go through Good Kid M.A.A.D.. City,(maybe skip Poetic Justice)
i would play all kendrick catalogue back when i was in high school, instead of paying attention to class id say kendrick taught me more than school did. thank you the reaction guys
🫶🫶
It’s okay to get it wrong, but it’s more honourable that you are interested enough to understand and empathise. If everyone shared the same sentiments, our world will be a better place. We are all one and I really love you guys. Thank you 🙏🏿
That’s so sweet , thank you ❤
This is one of my favorite Kendrick songs -
Each verse is from a different perspective. The first is from one of Kendrick’s friends, who also acts as a stand-in for all young underprivileged black boys. He talks about how he’s struggling and caught up in this world of violence and death, and wonders if he’ll ever be happy again like he was as a child. He’s questioning the gang life after his brother died (“it’s a trip how we trip off of colors”), and he he wants to get out, but he’s afraid of meeting the same violent end as his brother. The verse is cut off mid-sentence by gunshots, a representation of all the lives cut short by violence.
The second verse is from the perspective of a prostitute. She complains that Kendrick isn’t empathetic enough to the struggles women face and calls him out for not being understanding. (“How could you just put her on blast and shit, judging her past and shit”). She goes into more depth about her situation (“imma need that 40 dollars even if I gotta fuck suck and swallow”). She says she’s fine and she doesn’t want Kendrick’s help and that he can’t help her anyways, and she insists that she’ll be able to make it on her own. She says “I’ll live longer than you and never fade away,” but as soon as she says that her voice begins to fade out as the verse ends. Black men die suddenly and loudly, while black women are pushed to the outskirts of society and slowly wither away, while no one can hear their voice.
The third verse is Kendrick ruminating on death and his place in all this. He grapples with whether he’s exploiting these people by making music about them, or if his music is helpful in some way. He talks about how he wants his music to live on after he dies, and he hopes that he does enough in his lifetime to be remembered as a positive force in the culture.
Thank you !!! ❤❤
You’ve said me the trouble of explaining the depths and layers of the song. Thank you 🙏🏿.
Glad to see mom doing okay as well. All my love and best wishes ❤
She is the sister of a prostitute who Kendrick sang about in Section 80, there’s no family connection between them.
@@coolpandas8375 ❤️❤️
Damn ❤
As others have stated, this is intended to be listened to in its entirety. Good Kid M.A.A.D city is a short film. Glad you’re back after your surgery. 😊
Thank you ❤
Section 80- Keisha’s song ( Her Pain). The sister on the 2nd verse is replying to the song from section -80
its hard not to shed a tear to this song even it being 12 yrs old classic music
She needs to listen to the entire album. The story that flows through would explain some of the questions she has.
No worries , I will , this one was requested the most
Excellent song it’s one of my favorites. Fun fact the woman praying at the end is Maya Angelou.
❤
Your mother is a GEM!!!!!
Thank you ❤
People thought Drake could stand up to this 😂
lol
Been saying this forever! Way different writing abilities
It's sad to me bcs that time my inner spirit was told me that k much bigger but I was on party before it die now I understand it's not about fame its about positives in ART AND WITH DOPE style of telling the healing words of reality life king Kendrick is the truth Hip hop messenger
I was listening to TPAB the other day and after For Free?, I said the exact same thing lol. Kendrick is just different man
Yea, no. I knew Kenny was gon whoop dat a$$.
To get full context of this song y’all gotta listen to the full album straight through, the skits and interludes glue everything together and it will all make sense
6:12 holy crap. I’ve listened to this song so many times and never thought of this. This was very insightful…I think ur right
I may have too much of a imagination but this is how I felt it
@@MommaTaunT knowing Kendrick he is the type to do something like this. Never change, I was happy to gain another perspective 👍
I thought the same thing
Ending of it is super chilling cause she didn’t go to the doctor and might’ve caught a disease and she slowly faded away. Goosebumps for sure
@@Quicky_Sticky absolutely
Kendrick songs are homework 😂
Also, the only artist to have Maya Angelou on the last skit talking to the cousins at the end of the song
Was that maya ??? I love her!! Thanks for letting me know ❤
you literally just blew my damb mind i've listened to and shed tears over this song plenty of times and never knew that was mama angelou!
@@okokayy Same, never knew that was Maya! but now i love it even more
That doesnt sound like Maya Angelou 🫤
@@KaylaMarieQ I though I would recognise her anywhere but I didn’t either
this is a song about the most high. we are ALL connected to the most high. this song is for everybody
This makes me so happy to see a mom understand rap and double entendres all that is so cool man ❤
Thank you ❤
Honestly surprised yall arnt at 100k yet, great breakdown of lyrics/stories… yall got this
Thank you ❤ we may not have the most subs but we do got the most loyal ones 🫶
The first verse was speaking from the perspective of his friends brother. His friend got killed. 2nd verse was the perspective of the sister of the girl he spoke about in section.80. Her voice trails off because a lot of times women in her position are voiceless and people generally don’t care about women who are pimped out (There is a stigma)The 3rd verse is Kendrick responding to both.
Thank you ! 🙏
Her voice trails off because she faded (died) “ill never fade away”
I really like what your mom says about the stacato on the chorus, and understanding how Kendrick is as an artist he would definitely have used his cadence to give that effect to the listener. Most everyone would feel that when listening to it, I'm not quite sure that many would see the reasoning as easily, especially just hearing the song by itself.
Thank you❤
This song makes you tear up every time, powerful powerful song. Great poetry.
It is ❤
I love how y’all head bops were in sync
🫶🏼
I think if we ever have merch , it should be bobble heads 😂
How has you mum got this so bang on at the first listen.
Thank you ❤
Mom has a beautiful soul. Nuff said
❤
Kendrick’s music makes you think deeply!!!!! He’s a genius!!!
One of my favorite songs, this albums was made to be told like a movie would, so gets a little bit easier to understand within the album context, but you guys did great!
Here is a cool line too:
Her personal life, I was like "It need to be told"
Cursin' the life of twenty generations after her soul
Exactly what'd happen if I ain't continue rappin'
Or steady bein' distracted by money, drugs and 4-5's (He pronounces 4 as foe [as in enemy] and also is a reference to a .45 caliber)
I count lives, all on these songs (Dave, Dave’s brother, Keisha, Keisha’s sister, and Kendrick himself = Five lives.)
Thank you ❤
That anxious feeling she has is what we call SOUL
❤❤
Man I used to listen to this song nearly daily. It hits a lot deeper when you can relate to the message. My mom told me that my cousin got shot the other day (not dead but in hospital). I was listening to this song in the car normally, but soon the idea that I could’ve lost him hit my soul and I started crying. We need to stop the senseless violence and teach the children young that there is no benefit to the gangster lifestyle. It’s sad how many people are trapped in that cycle already.
🫶
Prayerfully your cousin makes a full recovery ❤️🩹.
Thanks yall
I'm a French native speaker and after ten years, I’ve realized that "dying of thirst" is at the same time about craving for God (holy water and baptism) and how vanity - chasing things like sex, money, and fame - leaves the soul empty, where we die of that thirst.
Is it obvious to catch it for an english native speaker or not ?
I’m not an English native speaker either 😉
To me and my friends, when this album came out, this song was like no other and was clearly the most important song on the album, to many of us
❤
still easily Kendrick's best song imo
Bro so funny 14:27 😂. First video I've seen and im subscribing love your interactions
Thanks ❤
My favorite song of all time I cried the first time I listened to it
🔥🔥🔥
🤍🤍🤍 glad I stumbled on your channel, this is beautiful. The empathy mama exudes is something else, and the understanding that you both have without being from that world is impressive. The relationship is amazing, much love
Thank you for this comment ♥️
Thank you 🙏 ❤
You and yo mom have beautiful spirits bro 🖤💪🏾💯
❤❤
Yall should react to Kendrick Lamar - Momma
Mortal Man
Father Time
Or Lust
You have to let the song play inside the hook bro. That's the emotional torment that makes the song so soul pulling.
i absolutely love these, and love the humility and concern for humanity your mother has, its very heartwarming and I wish there were more people with her moral understanding
❤️
Thank you ❤❤
@@MommaTaunT love the content!
@@okokayy 🫶❤️
this my favorite song on that album
I listened to a few of the breakdowns you and mom did before she had surgery. I just subbed because you guys asked, and I look forward to hearing this breakdown.
Thank you ❤
@MommaTaunT I appreciate the empathy and consideration you show for what Kendrick's experience within the culture. Unfortunately, some people live and grow up in environments where they have to make certain decisions to survive. It's to look down on some people from a place of comfort and privilege when not faced with the same dangers and temptations daily.
Glad you're okay, miss lady and it's interesting that you are more
Insightful and entertaining than most❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you ❤
There’s an unreleased Kendrick song titled “Prayer” on UA-cam. Incredible. It leaked before it could be officially released. A hidden gem. It’s the original “The Heart Part 5”.
This is my favourite song of all time, being far from home you remind me very much of my mother and I love watching your reactions. Keep well.
check out "Kush and Corinthians" and "Mortal Man" by kendrick
Their feeling the groove. Mum is also on point with the rhythm.
Thank you ❤
Mom it's so good to see you again. I pray for health. Also this is one of my favorite songs from him
Thank you 🫶
Hope this song goes viral more people need to hear it
The song it self I think did , our reaction won’t I’m afraid
This song makes me cry because kendrick speaks my truth. What am i to do in situations that aren't my fault yet im impacted. Do we do wrong for money, just to live, or do i lay down and die. God is to slow. Do i die to stay alive. We need patience. Who does that mske me
❤
I feel like Mama T😭😭😭😭.. im subscribing because of you.. i love this channel ❣️
♥️♥️
That is so sweet, thank you ❤❤
Gave her react to the whole album so she can experience the story
I will bit I’m still recovering so we have to take it slow
Seen your videos right before moms went into surgery, glad she’s back & doing well 🙌🏾
Thanks ❤
Just react to the whole Album.. Its just one of the best rap albums in our Era ! And i also hope that Momma Taunt is good after her Hospitaltime ! Sending much Love !
Thank you ❤
i love you guys so much, yall are my favorite youtubers on my 10 years on this app hands down
So sweet, thank you!❤
Im glad mama t is doing well

Yooooo! I think mom is right about him singing the hook with the slight pause cause he's saying his last words. Great catch if it's true, and I think it is 👍🏿
Thank you ❤
I love how your mom empathizes with the lyrics.🥰 It is indeed a difficult emotional song, but it also has a good replay value. I love Samidot so much.🥹 It's one of my best Kendrick Lamar songs of all time!💕
🫶
Thank you for taking time, and appreciating the value of this song. I do agree, "Keisha's Song" by Kendrick should be the next song.
I look forward to other Kendrick breakdowns. Subscribed!
@@Famous763 ❤️❤️❤️
You gotta listen to the album from start to finish. One of my favorite lines is "banana clip split his banana pudding, I'm like trey that's Cuba Gooding" crazy movie from 1991 called Boyz in the hood. Check it out. Cuba plays the character Trey who is living in Compton submerged into the street. But he is a kind soul. That's all ima say watch Boyz n the hood
Death is normal for him on a day to day basis it’s just a cycle of things he been through talking about his love one he lost and reminiscing
I would love to see an entire reaction to GKMC from beginning to end
Dude should’ve paused after a few bars and explained what certain “hood terminology” is. You have her trying to grade a Kendrick song. One of the most iconic and difficult lyricists alive in the 21st century.
You obviously haven’t seen that I did listen to many before and I know perfectly well about the hood. I just always go in blind and want to make up my own mind about it and then open the discussion here in chat. And respectfully, neither my son or I will ever be able to grasp it all but we are trying
This is my first video I watched. I subscribed after watching more.
@@Comptonk5 thank you 🙏❤️
The first part of the song that's called Sing for the Moment it's about the perspective of his dead friend's brother. The irony with that is his best friend brother end up dying as he was trying to tell Kendrick if you make a song about me, hence the gunshot in the background before the course came in. The second verse is from the perspective of Keisha sister, Kendrick did a song about Kesha on Section 80 call Keisha's Song, her pain. Really deep song, you guys should check it out. I guess Keisha's sister did not like the fact that Kendrick put her business out there like that. The third verse is the perspective of Kendrick Lamar, question himself if he did enough to be remembered. As far as dying of thirst, fat ties into two different interludes on the good kid Maad City album. After the death of Kendrick Lamar's friend , Kendrick and his other friend was having a breakdown, they were going to to retaliate on the people who took his friend's life until they ran into a religious elderly woman. Kendrick and his friends calm down with her prayer. The religious elderly woman was the one who mentioned about kendrink and his friends dying of thirst. It's definitely a deep meaning, I wish I could explain it better. You guys would have to go back to the good kid Maad City and listen to the whole album from the beginning till the end to understand.
You should use the Spotify lyrics feature
Spotify shows the lyrics too and it scrolls down for you
USE GENIUS! You can always pause the song and it’s easier to see the context of certain bars.
I think it’s so much more fun to guess and feel and talk about it , I always go in blank on purpose
the second verse refernces Keisha's song off section 80.
the first part is about a black man that dies by gang related violence when he was questionning the sense of it all ; the second part is about a girl that dies by aids complaining to kendirck about the song he made about her sister, as she herself, was rap** in her first time by 3black men ; got into prostitution and couldn't escape it ; the last part is about kendrick questioning if he's worthy to the eyes of his community and wondering if he did enought to protect black people from the shit they have to deal with
🫶
How did you get that from the third verse?
This one is better in context with the album. Not just one you start with if you don’t know. It’ll depress you lol
I’ll be okay 😉
Show her the song "Prayer" by Kendrick Lamar :)
Miss you guys and your Kendrick reactions. Always praying for mom 🙏
Thank you 🙏
Finally . I been begging for this 😭😭😭. Let me watch 🍿
EDIT:
So I have this to say. I’ve been listening to this song for almost 12 years, I was 17 when I heard it the first time. As black people were always under some kind of struggle, it doesn’t even have to be crime. I’m from South Africa, I cannot relate to the violent aspects because I didn’t grow up around that. However I feel a connection to the pain in the song because of my own struggles and it’s always had some kind of healing element to it for me. I was shocked at how dark it got for you because I’ve never felt like that, I’ve always thought “wow, Kendrick is so great at writing stories”. This is the first time ever where I’ve actually considered the fact that these are actual things that happen to people. That’s why we love Kendrick because he’s music keeps evolving.
You should react to REAL, it’s the song right after this one and it shows us Kendrick with his new mindset after being baptised
🫶
@@MommaTaunTI edited my comment after watching.
@@Iamnotddb thank you for your extra info ❤️
Your mom can see the reality in the song, there’s just a lot of baggage Kendrick unpacked especially for me it took me a while to understand every bar on this song, it’s poetic af
🙏
@Beatz_107 has painted a clear on the first part 'Sing About Me' basic message... Lovely
Waiting for a reaction on 'Fear' and 'Real'
❤
26:09 if they only knew that it was Maya Angelo
I think first comment told me and I’m a big fan of her, didn’t recognise her voice tho
The first verse represents the brother, gangbanger lifestyle that always ends in violence saying remember me think about. The second verse is about a girl who is a prostitute her sister he wrapped about on his first album and they both have sexual trauma that caused them to use their bodies to make money and as a bargaining chip . The ending of each verse of the song is represents the person die so she said her health was straight and she don't need a doctor to tell her about herself meaning she probably got a STD that never went treated and eventually faded away from the spotlight and die just as the first guy died his first ended in gunshot and it just ended. 10:08
Glad to see moms back
Thank you ❤
Now she has to listen to Keisha’s Song to understand verse 2🤞🏾. The first verse is about his friends brother that died. He also wrote a song about the brother I believe on “U” in which I think you both made a reaction on 10/10.
❤❤
@@MommaTaunTdid not expect a response. BUT I want to say that was the video (U) that kept me in tune with your reactions. I think you spoke about the tumor/growth for the first time then. I lost my mom to stage 4 and often wish I wish I couldve done videos like y’all’s. Before I yap too much, just wanna say I love the videos you two do. I can tell there’s genuine love for the art 🤞🏾❤
I know we have over romanticization and heavy bias toward our legends but Kendrick is legit one of the best storytellers in rap history. He is better than rappers like Pac, Biggie, Slick Rick, Kool G. songs like sing about me and how much a dollar cost are next level writing and storytelling.
if possible a reaction to fear or duckworth, would be awesome to see your moms reaction
❤
Wish I could’ve done this with my mum, respect…definitely subscribing.

Wow mom amazing
😊❤
I'm subbing because of mum.
Thank you !! ❤❤
u should keep genius on the side for certain bars
The lovely viewers are my genius 😉

I think that the song he is talking about is Keisha's song from Section 80.
But it says Brenda has a baby and that what tupacs song
Mom is okay. 😩♥️

15:53 I hear " Promise you sing about me before you go."
we back

I whole heartedly want this song playing on my funeral, I’ll never fade away 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
I hope that will not be the case for a long time ❤❤
You guys are reacting to songs like these without the full context of everything, so im begging you to start doing full album reactions
A full album is a bit too much for me rn. But if you give me suggestions about the next song , appreciate it ❤
@@MommaTaunT understandable, whenever you're ready!
@@testing_something 🫶🫶
I just wanna echo this, its a beautiful song on its own. But in the context of the album and Keishas Song, to me its one of the greatest of all time.
Hope you get well soon!
Just to add one of my favorite bits:
the dying of thirst refers to not just a need for holy water and redemption. It also refers to thirsting for drugs, booze and women. Lastly it refers to bloodthirst.
This is what took me a while to get - when he switches to "I'll show you how to dye your thirst" he is speaking from the perspective of a gang member, and the dye refers to gang colors. So dyeing the bloodthirst in the color of your enemy.
Your mom hit it out the park with her breakdown 💯
Thank you ❤
Apple music really good for lyrics
Been a minute, good to see mom still at it.
Slowly getting back, I missed yall 🥰
Hii power needs to get more love. Listen to that next
