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
"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.
@@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.
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”
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
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?
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.
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.” - Revelation 22:14
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!!
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
I wish theyd taught us how to handle anxiety most of all, that and how to balance a check book 😂are the two things they dont teach you in the hood. Or how to just be ..Im 35 n just now learning how to be an adult let that fear go.. Bless these babies
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.
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
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
@@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

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.
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👌

We met Kendrick the 7 years old
The 17 years old
The 27 years old
True masterpiece
And now the 37 year old.
Only the best lyricists can say exactly what’s on their mind while still being artful. This is a true masterpiece.
Dear Mama
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
"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.

You are on point but I think it would be wrong to say he invented it
this is honestly one of Kendrick's best songs

Man coming back to this. That first verse really hits me hard. You gon fear me if you dont fear no one else
This song hits hard...i hear "ill beat yo ass" way too much as a kid.. both my parents ruled with FEAR
Now, this is what we call an instant classic
cant get enough of this

Kendrick Lamar is the BEST Rapper and the BEST Lyricist of his generation BY VERY VERY FAR #FlawlessRapper💯
He's a poet at heart. Not every rapper is.
This has got to be the best track from Damn
"God Bless You. Shalom."

Damn, these songs sit heavy...
The haunting heartbeats.....!!!
The finishing 🔥🐐
this is not a song its a inside feelings DAMN
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

Who else sang (REVERSED) word for word

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
These song showed me how I felt during high school just fear in me hits different
Kendrick is GTA 5 of our time, never gets old
This should be done in a live studio live band style, almost a Capella style
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
Really appreciate 😊
That outro beat goes so fucking hard man I want a track with just that for 5 minutes
He spoke the pain out the brain and the soul....respek.
This song is very deep. Take your time and you will understand this masterpiece more.

With my mind
All of what I found
Myself

Me I'm just trying to do better
What happens when life changes you
What's new
I hated what changed me
At least I know why I have this change in me
What happens
Doesn't happen for reason
What's this decision
I choice is always being made
I hope and I know
With faith God will always be with me
As long as I live with dignity
I hate pity
Don't pity me
I spat in my parents house
I smoked weed
I began to bleed
I wanted and didn't want to grow a seed
What's life a lesson
I kept my self to my self
Just like everyone else
Shy
But not she
Normal man
Fuck pronouns
I'm a he
Everyone want to see
See
Now you don't
Maybe you should roll another joint
I kept to myself
I hate patients
God loves us
Even in fire
Maybe hate is fire
Love and patients
