I swear kendrick's old songs makes you wanna believe that you can accomplish your dreams. Woww such an inspiration. You can hear his hunger on this one
327 likes but no replies. This world can seem so empty. I will say though, he definitely won my heart when I was in 6th grade. Ahh, a time of bullshit. But the grass seems greener on the other side now doesn't it? :)
One of the most Beautiful songs ever composed 😭 remember taking the bus home from school bumping this track 24/7. Had this girl I had a crush on and chill with everyday on our way home. Put her on to this. Unfortunately split ways
Nah man hip hop needs him now. The 90's had alot of great artists, right now we need King Kendrick. Kendrick, Kanye, Drake, J Cole, Big Sean/Big Krit are the top 5 right now and they arent even spreading violence and stupidity like the 'gangstas' in the early 2000's (Yeezy ended that)
Second half of this is the next interlude on the album "I Am" by the way. You can find the original online, I think he put this mixtape out for free. Remix with dom kennedy off Overly Dedicated is better anyhow
brings me back to high school bruh. discovered it in 2013 my junior year and would bump this so much. all of Overly Dedicated, Section.80 and Good Kid Maad City. only ever showed this to one girl and thats my wife and been with her since 2014
"She go to work, she go to school, her body smooth, no tattoos Type of girl that’ll make your mother feel comfortable My pops love her too, she’s compatible, she’s independent She handle her business, she believe in God and no other religions She's never in competition, when it comes to her friends, she's dependable She set her own trends, a confidant, a mediator, so sweet, every flavor Just a conversation with her doing you a favor, look at her hips, I want to be her pager"
you won our heart before you won a grammy Kendrick, we love you man! keep the positive way of thinking, keep spreading positivity through your music and words.
I wish one day I'd find someone like this. This is simply the most beautiful piece of poetry I've ever heard. Thank you Kendrick from the bottom of my heart for this.
Back here May 14, 2024. Mr. Morale just turned 2 years old yesterday and Kendrick is on top after defeating…well, you know who. No need to speak his name. I haven’t watched this video in probably 10 years or more. The blog era hit different. This just transported me back to that time. It’s amazing to see how far this kid came. He did everything he said he would and stayed true to himself. I hope some kid watching this video right now feels inspired by it and goes on to do great things. Peace and love.
It's nice to hear that you're appreciated for having your head on right and making sure you strive for excellence while accomplishing your goals. This and "ambitious girl" from Wale, love hearing a black man appreciate something that isn't superficial on a black woman. Keep making inspirational music and shaping our generation for the better.
This song is truly amazing I wish I could put words to how I feel every time I hear this song but I jus can’t.. I’m glad I will die happy knowing Imma Kendrick fan..
It’s crazy how much of this mans music is timeless. As an artist, I admire hit talent, and the longevity his words afford him to have. My goal is to have this kind of career as a writer. Much success to Kendrick
2011 I remember listening to this on the train to and from Nursing school . This song motivated me during my training and Uni and I always come back to it 🌸
Literally just in my feels going through old k.dot classics, every single song has so much talent and messages! Always listen on the daily just to get through life, if it wasn’t for Kendrick / hip hop I wonder what the world would be like, on to the next one 🙏🏼
2021! I’m here for it! This song gives me so much confidence! I pride myself on being a woman with a good head on my shoulders, loyal, genuine, educated, humble, ambitious, and hardworking. God allowed me to make tremendous progress in my life and I’m thankful for whi and how I am.
This joint was among the 1st in my introduction to Kendrick Lamar. Amazing to look back and remember how dope this was then and still is today. This the type of shit that makes you love this thing called hip hop. We gotta cherish and champion it cause unfortunately it’s getting pushed into the background in favor of garbage
I remember when this was back when nobody really knew who Kendrick was I remember one time I was at a drake concert and he performed a song I was the only one who knew the words to the buried alive interlude he was featured inn kendricks come along way💯🔥
Aliyah ⵙⴰⵎⵉⵢⴰ Amani I didn't decide anything. I'n just quoting something many rappers have said (eazy e, tupac, dj quik, dr dre) when a rapper calls a female a bitch, they're ussually referring to women who stole from them, cheated on them, or took away their kids, or even tried to get them killed. Mc ren has a song where a girl brings him into an alley only to be ambushed by other men trying to kill him. (she was in on it)

jonathanhart54 why did u say he did lol when he didnt lol...now he has tho!!! wooop
Lol its crazy how his song "I" won a grammy and, that means Kendrick been planning it for years!
spoke it into existence
Don't know why but this beat is everything.
N I C K V i came here for the lyrics as much as the melody lol
Erick I know just everything about this song is good
Hell yeah. This beat is so uplifting and chill.
N I C K V fuckin right
kenny got ears for beats
I love the description, "Kendrick Lamar talks about his relationship and says She needs me."
I noticed that as well xD
btw is this whitney Alford? i can't tell
fr
that simple bruv
12 years later and I still come back to 2:06 Everything Kendrick said in that entire verse he accomplished. Shit is inspiring tbh
Facts brother, It is scarily eerie how accurate he was in his prediction of where his career would be. Almost like a prophecy.
RIGHT! this shit hits waaaayyyy different knowing he manifested all this shit. AND MUCH MORE!!
she go to work
she go to school
her body smooth
no tattoos
Hey guess what, my pops love her too
This is me
That’s me 😌
This shit aged like wine, 10 years ago I was bumping this. Tsss, the nostalgia. Life's beautiful
I was in highschool when i first heard this in 2014 and the nostalgia is crazy.
@@jeffmix21 I was in high school too, good times!
Who’s here after Kendrick win the beef 🔥🔥🔥
yea just to remember real music man
This is how I discovered Kendrick in 2011 on MTV Jamz crazy how far he’s come
First song I listened to by Kendrick Lamar 4 years ago now I'm dancing to King Kunta. Love Kendrick Lamar
***** BAE! loll im doing the exact same thing
***** so u say u creole?
Damn that boy good. The heart pt 2. Was mine. Life changing right.
***** make sure you listen to section 80 then :)
Chingis I did :)
2019 and this song still slaps harder than my dad's belt
WAY too much drip
yo your profile pic is everything lmfao
One of the most Beautiful songs ever composed 😭 remember taking the bus home from school bumping this track 24/7. Had this girl I had a crush on and chill with everyday on our way home. Put her on to this. Unfortunately split ways
Cherish the memories, regardless bro! We're only who we are in THIS LIFE but once! Blessings!
Congrats Kendrick on the grammy, well deserved
+Element Krypton He deserved album of the year
Rory Strain But Mackelmore... Let me stop.
here we go again
wish kendrick would have came out in the 90s he would of blown a billion niggas minds w his music n still does 2 this day. respect from indy
not fucking "Happy"
Yeah,hopefully without getting shot or even worse killed,youth need people like Kendrick Lamar right now. He came at the right point.
Nah man hip hop needs him now. The 90's had alot of great artists, right now we need King Kendrick. Kendrick, Kanye, Drake, J Cole, Big Sean/Big Krit are the top 5 right now and they arent even spreading violence and stupidity like the 'gangstas' in the early 2000's (Yeezy ended that)
i feel what you mean,..but he's perfect for ya'll generation
Badass Alan very intriguing thought. would love to day dream about it, but everyone is in agreement; this generation needs him the most
KENDRICK STAN SINCE BEEN IT
It sucks that this version isn't on Spotify 😔
Litch rally
prolly b/c copyright issues
Yeah don't forget he's a "signed & owned" artists
I think I prefer his remix tbh
Second half of this is the next interlude on the album "I Am" by the way. You can find the original online, I think he put this mixtape out for free. Remix with dom kennedy off Overly Dedicated is better anyhow
I'm doing what Drake was supposed to do. Going through Kendrick's catalogue
😂😂😂 righto!
An original. He's describing my type of girl. Nothing like an educated women.
Woman* lol
Christian gambarrotti haha haha lol
Wow
Ricky Maldo women 😂😂😂😂😂
Ricky Maldo but in allserius tho respec wahmen
I love this song with every part of me... it's beautiful.
Back when Kendrick looks so happy
brings me back to high school bruh. discovered it in 2013 my junior year and would bump this so much. all of Overly Dedicated, Section.80 and Good Kid Maad City. only ever showed this to one girl and thats my wife and been with her since 2014
Trying to be like you mane
@@DarthTalon66it’s possible fr bruh takes patience and nonstop love
Hold it down
just heard this for the first time in about 6 years, the nostalgia hurts
Andrew Ferguson one Hunnid man haha
8 years ago for me and I think this is a CLASSIC, at least from the last decade

instantly remember the vibe after a decade of not hearing this
When he started to slam poetry at the end he killed me. Love it. An artist before being salesman. Respect.
This beat is incredible
God, this song gives me goose bumps. King shit fr.

When I find the one, this gonna be our song.
Bump
[Intro]
One time, reporting live, Compton, California
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
She go to work, she go to school, her body smooth, no tattoos
Type of girl that’ll make your mother feel comfortable
My pops love her too, she’s compatible, she’s independent
She handle her business, she believe in God and no other religions
She's never in competition, when it comes to her friends, she's dependable
She set her own trends, a confidant, a mediator, so sweet, every flavor
Just a conversation with her doing you a favor, look at her hips, I want to be her pager
Conservative, affirmative, actually she relaxing in sweats and bobby pins
The beauty of her, a blind man can see, a true queen and she needs me
She needs me, she needs me, she needs me, she needs me
The beauty of her, swear to God, a blind man can see, a true queen and she needs me
[Chorus: JaVonté]
That girl is smoking, and can you believe that I'm her focus?
It ain’t hard to see she got me open, and together we are roller-coasting on
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Five years later, an accounting major, work at a firm
Abundance of paper, she got a career, she look in the rear
View mirror of a Mercedes that she can steer
Call her boss, executive meetings, consecutive trips, vacational weekends
Dior reeking through her Prada dress, probably the only product of her pure success
Got a promotion, now she own the building
Headed to the top like she on the building, real estate, property
She order tender steak, only one mouth to feed, funded a youth center
Invested in some stock, doubled what she put in, then bought a restaurant
Oh what a girl, how great life can be, even though she got the world, she needs me
She needs me, she needs me, she needs me, she needs me
Oh what a girl, wonder how her life can be, and though she got the world, she needs me
[Chorus: JaVonté]
That girl is smoking, and can you believe that I'm her focus?
It ain’t hard to see she got me open, and together we are roller-coasting on
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
We lose touch, separated, years pass, I’m outdated
She’s dating one of Hollywood’s famous entertainers, Denzel good
Paparazzi spot ‘em out shopping, Tuesday morning brunch, Benihana's
Tabloids paint a picture of a perfect couple
Headline reads when a famous actor loves you, Emmy Awards, Academy too
On the red carpet, dress matching his suit, she holding his arm
She waves at her moms and wave at the world, got the world in her palms
Head in the clouds, star gazing, caught her on the stage, a proposal was waiting
He bent down, got on one knee, she looked him in the eye and said she needs me
She needs me, she needs me, she needs me, she needs me
Even if we seem to separate, eventually it’ll come to pass, and she’ll need me
I need her, we need we
[Chorus: JaVonté]
That girl is smoking, and can you believe that I'm her focus?
It ain’t hard to see she got me open, and together we are roller-coasting on
I'm still here Kendrick 😭🔥
BEFORE THE FAME
One of the best Kendrick Lamar's soundtrack
