Fear Lyrics:
I don't think I could find a way to make it on this earth
What's up, family? Yeah, it's yo cousin Carl, man, just givin' you a call, man. I know you been havin' a lot on yo mind lately, and I know you feel like, you know, people ain't been prayin' for you. But you have to understand this, man, that we are a cursed people. Deuteronomy 28: 28 says, "The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart." See, family, that's why you feel like you feel like you got a chip on your shoulder. Until you finally get the memo, you will always feel that way...
[Charles Edward Sydney Isom Jr.]
Why God, why God do I gotta suffer?
Pain in my heart carry burdens full of struggle
Why God, why God do I gotta bleed?
Every stone thrown at you restin' at my feet
Why God, why God do I gotta suffer?
Earth is no more, won't you burn this muh'fucka?
I don't think I could find a way to make it on this earth
(Reversed)
I beat yo ass, keep talkin' back
I beat yo ass, who bought you that?
You stole it, I beat yo ass if you say that game is broken
I beat yo ass if you jump on my couch
I beat yo ass if you walk in this house
With tears in your eyes, runnin' from Poo Poo and Prentice
Go back outside, I beat yo ass, lil nigga
That homework better be finished, I beat yo ass
Your teachers better not be bitchin' 'bout you in class
That pizza better not be wasted, you eat it all
That TV better not be loud if you got it on
Them Jordans better not get dirty when I just bought 'em
Better not hear 'bout you humpin' on Keisha's daughter
Better not hear you got caught up
I beat yo ass, you better not run to your father
I beat yo ass, you know my patience runnin' thin
I got beaucoup payments to make
County building's on my ass
Tryna take my food stamps away
I beat yo ass if you tell them social workers he live here
I beat yo ass if I beat yo ass twice and you still here
Seven years old, think you run this house by yourself?
Nigga, you gon' fear me if you don't fear no one else
If I could smoke fear away, I'd roll that mothafucka up
And then I'd take two puffs
I'm high now, I'm high now
I'm high now, I'm high now
Life's a bitch, pull them panties to the side now
I don't think I could find a way to make it on this earth
I'll prolly die anonymous
I'll prolly die with promises
I'll prolly die walkin' back home from the candy house
I'll prolly die because these colors are standin' out
I'll prolly die because I ain't know Demarcus was snitchin'
I'll prolly die at these house parties, fuckin' with bitches
I'll prolly die from witnesses leavin' me falsed accused
I'll prolly die from thinkin' that me and your hood was cool
Or maybe die from pressin' the line, actin' too extra
Or maybe die because these smokers
Are more than desperate
I'll prolly die from one of these bats and blue badges
Body slammed on black and white paint, my bones snappin'
Or maybe die from panic or die from bein' too lax
Or die from waitin' on it, die 'cause I'm movin' too fast
I'll prolly die tryna buy weed at the apartments
I'll prolly die tryna diffuse two homies arguin'
I'll prolly die 'cause that's what you do when you're 17
All worries in a hurry, I wish I controlled things
If I could smoke fear away, I'd roll that mothafucka up
And then I'd take two puffs
I've been hungry all my life
I'm high now, I'm high now
I'm high now, I'm high now
Life's a bitch, pull them panties to the side now
Now...
When I was 27, I grew accustomed to more fear
Accumulated 10 times over throughout the years
My newfound life made all of me magnified
How many accolades do I need to block denial?
The shock value of my success put bolts in me
All this money, is God playin' a joke on me?
Is it for the moment, and will he see me as Job?
Take it from me and leave me worse than I was before?
At 27, my biggest fear was losin' it all
Scared to spend money, had me sleepin' from hall to hall
Scared to go back to Section 8 with my mama stressin'
30 shows a month and I still won't buy me no Lexus
What is an advisor? Somebody that's holdin' my checks
Just to fuck me over and put my finances in debt?
I read a case about Rihanna's accountant and wondered
How did the bad girl feel when she looked at them numbers?
The type of shit'll make me flip out
And just kill somethin', drill somethin'
Get ill and fill ratchets with a lil' somethin'
I practiced runnin' from fear, guess I had some good luck
At 27 years old, my biggest fear was bein' judged
How they look at me reflect on myself, my family, my city
What they say 'bout me reveal
If my reputation would miss me
What they see from me
Would trickle down generations in time
What they hear from me
Would make 'em highlight my simplest lines

#KendrickLamar
We met Kendrick the 7 years old
The 17 years old
The 27 years old
True masterpiece
Finally, a song that sounds the way anxiety feels.
i felt that. just readin it. but we gotta persevere
Maybe that’s why I love it so much
How your mother sounds
Just breathe... I’m with you
Its what causes it
Kendrick explains the experience of black parenting. Our mothers and fathers understood what society had to offer black men so if you feared them most than you can handle anything after that...
Facts. Which is a strange place to inhabit; a space where love is mixed with fear and is a well meaning form of abuse- this is what living in an unsafe environment produces...
It chills me everytime
that shit didnt work either
@MrPellete that is true my father goes out very day at 6am-4pm in the heat just to provide for our fam
@@happygucci5094😅😅😅😅
I love how real he is. Pouring his heart out telling the whole world how he really feels through his music. That's true art. Beautiful Kendrick👌
Big facts fam
Only the best lyricists can say exactly what’s on their mind while still being artful. This is a true masterpiece.
Dear Mama
"I'll probably die cus that's what you do at 17" if you can listen to this song without having a pit in your stomach, you are much stronger than I. I find his words and message so powerful, especially right now.
We might be on the same page
"ill probably die trying to defuse two homies arguin"
if you can listen to this song without having a pit in your stomach, you are too weak, and you have lost what it means to be human.
@@spaceclaw1958 y'all make me this way and then when I retaliate, you say I'm the reason there's no food in my mama's plate? People lost humanity when they introduced to hate, y'all made me this way this was no work of fate.
@@spaceclaw1958 it aint that deep
Still my favourite track on the album, God knows I went through the same shit
Facts, I didnt appreciate this song until I did a deep dive on the album
This song and Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst fucking crazy. Speaking form a human level - no matter what skin colour and gender, we are all the fucking same.
Just listened to both of the songs back to back, main take away is that life is a risk and can end at any point, better focus on whats important in life right now, more then ever. Take care
EASILY one of his top tracks, legendary
This hits home cause now that im an adult I obsessively save money because im scared to going back to being poor like I was my entire childhood. It was terrible and its probably scarred me for life, like Kendrick says “Scared to go back to section 8”
I'm Mexican and I never thought I'd identify so much with a song.
Cause those scriptures pertain to us the so called blacks Hispanics and native Americans which are the children of israel
Yo de Argentina y pienso lo mismo

Still my favourite track on the album,
Kendrick Lamar dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap
K. Dot, I came back here, cos my younger brother loves the "and I'll take two puffs"😂😂
I find it crazy how the message went over so many ppl heads he literally just gave u the game in a nutshell 🤣🤣🤣
This song has zero to do with the rap game. Absolutely nothing.
@@donovanwheeler6639 fasho 💯💯💯
People will continue to sleep unfortunately at first it took me awhile to understand but after reading Genesis 15:13 it was undeniable
@@donovanwheeler6639 The game of life. Not the rap game.
@@donovanwheeler6639 Not the rap game lol. The "game" is the life that kids that live in the hood tend to go through.
What happens on earth stays on earth and I can’t take these feelings with me so hopefully they disperse
"Earth is no more why dont u burn this muthafkka!"
Australia and California on fire! Is it a coincidence?
@@GOODKidBURNCity Shut up...
prolly my favourite verse of the entire album
do u play Roblox?
Can you explain
Everytime I listen to this song, it seems as if am listen to it for the first time. Pkz God keep Kendrick alive coz he invented musical philosophy
big facts bro I just stay dumbfounded
Bang that!!
You are on point but I think it would be wrong to say he invented it
This song hits hard...i hear "ill beat yo ass" way too much as a kid.. both my parents ruled with FEAR
I’m literally in shock... I’m not sure if the world will react this way but I’m saying it now... Kendrick just got one full level better. He was already on the best in the game shit and he just got better.
My Favorite Track Off Of DAMN.
A Pure CLASSIC
Pedro Layral Classic Definition According To Miriam’s Webster : serving as a standard of excellence : of recognized value.
I’d say DAMN. lives up to all those standards.
Pedro Layral I understand your point & I feel like I have to explain this to you. GKMC & TPAB are both stories taking place in a physical world. In a sense he’s talking about the point of vue of a Young Man growing up in gang life & a Black Man growing up in a racist world. But DAMN. Is deeper than that. DAMN. Story is abstract. It’s the fight of Will & Faith. It’s the fight with GOD. He’s rapping in the point of vue of someone who is in the wrong path & wants to make things right. As a non-black higher class citizen I can’t engage with GKMC or TPAB on a personal level or emotional level. But DAMN. is an album that ANYONE & EVERYONE can relate too.
You can't call this a classic, yet. One thing it has to challenged with, is time. A classic must be around for 10 years, and it has to age well by that time. If that makes sense?
damn was epic
Pedro Layral “classic” is subjective
“Why God,Why God do I have to suffer?
Pain in my heart carry burdens full of struggle”
God bless you
@@ocanseynicolas3522 No thanks

Kendrick Lamar is the BEST Rapper and the BEST Lyricist of his generation BY VERY VERY FAR #FlawlessRapper💯
Man coming back to this. That first verse really hits me hard. You gon fear me if you dont fear no one else
That ending is a must read in these trying times ✊🏾✊🏾🎙🎙
Facts bro
Cousin Carl had me thinking hard with his message at the end. Great song
time traveler from 2045 we have to obey the lords Ten Commandments! Even cousin carl understands, at the end, these are the ones that are going to be let into the new kingdom!
“BLESSED are they that do HIS COMMANDMENTS, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”

@@gersonargueta3639this is such a funny comment
Now, this is what we call an instant classic
A MASTERPIECE!!, Thank you for this, children clearly see the hypocrisy they are put through, then when they get older and make it, funny how the coin gets flipped in the name of wanting a hand out. This song addresses SO MUCH, THANK YOU!!
Kendrick is GTA 5 of our time, never gets old
cant get enough of this
🤙🏾this song is magic
I love how you automatically know who’s talking within the initial bars of his first verse
Who
bozdra
If ya know, ya know
@@bozdra his parents
It sounds like Tyler the creator lmao. Who is it?
“I’ll prolly die cus these colors are standing out”
Every stage you transition, the more relevant this song gets
Listening to this made me remember the Physical abuse I had from my parents and being bullied in school and now I grew up hung out with thugs learned their ways I got people's respect they feared me in some way but I knew that there's something wrong with me and it's I forgot who I really am, still a good kid with faith
How’s your relationship with your family????
@@Mr.Meowskers I mean I still try to forget the hate we caused to each other man but now that I set my mind free I just gained focus on myself again, my talent, my skills and dreams
All you really need is to listen to yourself man, everytime I listen to Kendrick it heals me inside man it's like we share the same story
The finishing 🔥🐐
The haunting heartbeats.....!!!
Honest, personal and magnificent piece of song writing.
Priceless
Man really used rhyme and literature schemes from the 1400s
In what aspects? I'm interested

Really ?
The history he told about when he has 7 years old is the history of the most children in south america
Every kids in america****
then I guess the america's not too different north or south
@@kingofnara The biggest difference here is that the politicians steal everything and the people continue to trust them. It's very sad
@@tomasgonzalez4257 I'm black from america and i feel for you and your people.
This is fire 🔥 so deep
Masterpiece
This has got to be the best track from Damn
Great song.
When you are high and getting every detail of the song
i love him too much
Damn, these songs sit heavy...
"God Bless You. Shalom."
*queue happy royalty free music*
this is not a song its a inside feelings DAMN
Wow this was deep.
I love this song, kendrick sings about his problems at different ages, 7 problems with his family and this type shit, 17 about death and 27 about his life in general, its also the longest song on the album and the greatest
Mission passed
Oldschool feeling got us .
The Alchemist produced this masterpiece ...2 x 🐐 together how couldn't this be a classic🔥🎶💯
the intro of the Why god why i gotta suffer perfectly displayed my questions on god
One thing this song taught me is if I can survive pass a crazy mother & a world full of death, Savin' Money Should Be A Breeze #TheFearOfIllusions
Too good
This song is very deep. Take your time and you will understand this masterpiece more.
These song showed me how I felt during high school just fear in me hits different
Maaan, that's strong
Damn...why listening to this
I feel like.. this is the best shit I heard in a long time...damn
this is good
That outro beat goes so fucking hard man I want a track with just that for 5 minutes
When I listen to this I feel something in my throat and chest like a pain that wants to get out and cry... it happens everytime but I don't listen to it a lot
Kendrick has handled the real rap game
This should be done in a live studio live band style, almost a Capella style
poetry
That first verse 😮💨 i know a lot of us relate to this.
Great! that music gods
Powerfull
cousin carl baptized me too, APTTMH.
Timelessness
First verse made me cry.
master prod
Damn it was hard
This song hit different at 3AM
"Why God why God do I have to suffer?"
Respect.
Deuteronomy 28 speaks of Gods children (negroes, Hispanics, and native Americans) and how we are oppressed. Read up 🤞🏾
As a kid I used to always wonder why I had to grow up in the life I did. Pops a gangmember moms was cold everyday was a struggle to eat and just make it by. Hearing about the homie die while we were no older than 10 years old. Being on the streets and witnessing street politics and violence. Growing up around so much sin and garbage all around me everyday there was an issue down my block. I used to wonder why me and now I know because we are cursed and as we started to devote ourselves more to God and as we endured throughout the years God has now blessed us and we are out of the hood. I've been out for three months now I'm 20 years old and have lived in the hood my entire life that's all I've known now it's time to open up and change for God. We are seeing the oppression and wickedness that has plagued our people and are coming back to God and we are being delivered justice.

Poverty's paradise
I don’t think I could find a way to make it on this earth
(I've been hungry all my life)
[Voicemail: Carl Duckworth]
What's up, family?
Yeah, it’s your cousin Carl, man, just givin' you a call, man
I know you been havin' a lot on yo' mind lately
And I know you feel like, you know
People ain't been prayin' for you
But you have to understand this, man, that we are a cursed people Deuteronomy 28:28 says, "The Lord shall smite thee with madness And blindness, and astonishment of heart"
See, family, that's why you feel like you feel
Like you got a chip on your shoulder
Until you follow His commandments, you gonna feel that way
[Bridge 1: Charles Edward Sydney Isom Jr. & Kendrick Lamar]
Why God, why God do I gotta suffer?
Pain in my heart carry burdens full of struggle

[Verse 4: Kendrick Lamar]
I'm talkin' fear, fear of losin' creativity
I'm talkin' fear, fear of missin' out on you and me
I'm talkin' fear, fear of losin' loyalty from pride
'Cause my DNA won't let me involve in the light of God
I'm talkin' fear, fear that my humbleness is gone
I'm talkin' fear, fear that love ain't livin' here no more
I'm talkin' fear, fear that it's wickedness or weakness
Fear, whatever it is, both is distinctive
Fear, what happens on Earth stays on Earth
And I can't take these feelings with me, so hopefully, they disperse
Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax
Searchin' for resolutions until somebody get back
Fear, what happens on Earth stays on Earth
And I can't take these feelings with me, so hopefully they disperse
Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax
Wonderin' if I'm livin' through fear or livin' through rap
Damn
[Bridge 2: Bēkon]
God damn you, God damn me
God damn us, God damn we
God damn us all
[Outro: Carl Duckworth]
Verse 2 says, "You only have I known of all the families of the Earth, therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities."
So until we come back to these commandments
Until you come back to these commandments
We gonna feel this way, we gonna be under this curse
Because He said He's gonna punish us
The so-called Blacks, Hispanics, and Native American Indians
Are the true children of Israel
We are the Israelites, according to the Bible
The children of Israel
He's gonna punish us for our iniquities, for our disobedience
Because we chose to follow other gods
That man chastens his son, so the Lord, thy God, chasten thee
So, just like you chasten your own son, He's gonna chastise you
Because He loves you, so that's why we get chastised
That's why we're in the position that we're in
Until we come back to these laws, statutes, and commandments
And do what the Lord says, these curses is gonna be upon us
We gonna be at a lower state in this life that we live
Here, in today, in the United States of America
I love you, family, and I pray for you
God bless you
It's a lyrics video dude
Shalom
bruh the reversed part is literally what the other man said in the intro with the why god why god part
1:17 : the truth will break your heart when you hear it
God damnnnnn
I was recomended to listen to this song by a cousin. I have some words for him...
Eventual differences aside, this song has some Notorious Big lyrical level shit to it.
shits slick
When the vocal begins to sing it reminds me of Leonard Cohen
The National Anthem of black dads
my entire life. misunderstood and scared
name another rapper referencing Deuteronomy in 2020
DAMN.
the first verse reminds me of my mom :(
"if I could smoke fear away I'd roll that matherfucker up, and then I'd take 2 puffs" damn that's gangster as fuck, lyrical genius kudos👏👏👏
After that he says "I'm high now" 4x, that mean he smoked fear, thats how i see it
@@Ahmad-ut6np maybe again here his saying his smoking fear, to kill something in slang terms is to smoke, maybe his depecting killing fears, hence smoking fear
Who else sang (REVERSED) word for word
Remember.. What happens on earth, stays on earth…
I actually like this song. Usually i dont like pop singers cause theres no depth or nuance in the meaning, but Hes talking about people who are truly authentically themselves and stand out always risk to be taken down, cause after everyone who stood out or spit the truth in history, most of them were killed by their own people and even killed by the people who this person stood up for. Human kind is so crazy and insane, it never ceases to surprise me and it sucks as well. you gotta be a warrior if you gonna be truly yourself cause people are insane snitches. guess he just gotta have the right people around, but even then :) i dont know the answer eighter... but dna wont letting him walk in the light of god is nonsense. anyone can walk in the light of god. its a choice u make every second.
