    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

      @mohammadibrahimi3316 4 роки тому +7

      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.

    • @mohammadibrahimi3316
      @mohammadibrahimi3316 4 роки тому +5

      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.

      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
    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 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 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
    [Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
    If I could smoke fear away, I'd roll that mothafucker up
    And then I'd take two puffs

    I'm high now (Huh), I'm high now (Huh)

    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 defuse 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
    [Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
    If I could smoke fear away, I'd roll that mothafucker up
    And then I'd take two puffs
    (I've been hungry all my life)

    (Pull them panties to the side now)
    Now
    [Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
    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
    [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

    GOD is the one
    I give my fear to him

    I hope you know I wrote this
    With my mind
    All of what I found
    Myself
    Is expecting karma
    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

    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 have seen what God has in store. Brown and Black folks are God's chosen Israelites. I've had visions of God destroying this world with a huge flaming rock like mentioned in Revelations. I've had visions of me dying and seeing how it is for the athiests, conquerors, and worldy forces when they die. I believe I am specifically chosen to be a teacher for God. I always wondered why I grew up into hardship pops gangbanging, moms was cold, growing up poor, and connected to the streets and street violence. Hearing about the homie dying and we were no older then 10 years of age. But now I see we are cursed and made to live this way. I have put my every ounce of faith into God as a youngster and I believe because of that he uses me and punishes me when I slip because he sees a true, devoted soldier inside of me. I took my cousins influence for gangs and turned it into my faith in God and other things. I don't eat pork I don't celebrate holidays, birthdays, etc. I abide by God's rules because if I don't he'll punish me. Enlighten yourselves my brothas and sistas I pray you see and are here to witness our rise to power again and to witness the reclamation of our land, spirit, and place in the kingdom of the Heavenly Father.

      Yea when I was younger I remember I use to fear god and apologize for every evil thought I had. I had that dreadful fear. and like this song states every stone I threw ended up resting at my feet. I grew up in the hood for the first part of my life experience a lot of pain from others and seen family go to jail parents/family struggled then I moved to the burbs and experienced so much racism and hatred/jealousy it wasn’t even funny mainly from the oppressors even though I moved I was still going through hood things in my home a lot of death in the family at crucial parts in my life a lot of stress anxiety and everything I touched felt like it would fail. This album came out while I was in the middle of becoming woke to the truth and help solidify what was going on with me and the poverty and struggles of my people. I feel everything you said you don’t even understand but then again you probably do in fact I know you do stay blessed my brother I know it’s hard because the more you know the more heat you will get for going against the knowledge. Stay up one love.

    Just to f- 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 - make me flip out and just - 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
    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 14 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 14 tracks, carried out over wax
    Wonderin' if I'm livin' through fear or livin' through rap
    Damn
    Goddamn you
    Goddamn me
    Goddamn us
    Goddamn we
    Goddamn us all
    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're gonna be in this place, we're 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'll chasten your own son
    He's gonna chasten you because He loves you
    So that's why we get chastised, that's why we're in the position we're in
    Until we come back to these laws, statutes and commandments
    And do what the Lord said, 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, shalom
