The beat is a hypnotic jazzy snare pattern meant to create an unsettled sense of regularity and normalcy to the chaos in the hood. The fact that we’re all vibing to the instrumental almost hides the fact that this song is literally about the death of a close friend and his final request to Kendrick to keep him alive through his art.
@@Timesuplets I wouldn't say it's a bad thing, but I do notice the mechanical flow at times. He and 3 stacks should do a track together. I think that would be a great move for the both of them. It could be like a man wrestling with his good and bad side type of thing.
@@rgw1380rw I remember reading somewhere that it took over a year to write it. He crafted a Hip Hop song that you could measure against the headiest songs ever created. The Rhythmic Flow Patterns of Andre 3000 meeting The Poetic Charms of Lauryn Hill
That type of instrumental that made me write some poetry just to let out some thoughts. Really gets you thinking about life though. Hope y'all all okay, if not talk to me. I'd be happy to talk about literally w.e bros.
Yeah this beat is definitely one of those "feel good to the soul" beats that will have you reflecting on shit from your past, pure genius production right here!
Wolf_MusikYT kind of towards the beginning if you keep listening you should here the same gun shots that you would in the actually song when the first verse ends
in 2013 two of my friends passed away from me in a span of a couple months apart. This song was what I kept on repeat 24/7 when they passed away. RIP I know yall are watching over us...
One of my homies mom killed the whole family bro. She just snapped it was really depressing. The other one was on a mission trip in OKC and got hit in a car wreck real bad. He was suppose to get married that year but, other things unfolded you know?
still love this song and instrumental all these years later. It is truly a masterpiece. Enjoying the Heart part 6 and gnx album as I type this but had to come back and feel the nostalgia of this album.
@@DevilAriana always be flyin like birds in the sky, don’t askin me dumb shit after I reply, u know why, u don’t want bulletshots in yo eye, till then hope u singin a song about mine
I remember listening to this album when it first released and this was my favorite song on there because it was a continuation of Keisha's Song. Then when he gets to the brother and the gunshots popped off, I almost teared up because I had become attached to the narrative. Even listening to this instrumental and hearing just the sound brings up that memory.
Every time I hear this instrumental, it makes me remember my grandma and grandpa, and all the love they gave me when they were here. My grandma died in 2016 from breast cancer. My grandpa died in 2017 from smoking too much. It also makes me sad about Kendrick's story too because he lost loved ones as well.
@@childofGod477 Thank you my brotha, remember that race doesn't matter, humans only use race towards anger towards people that have a certain skin tone. We all people from one race, it's called the human race, so all we gotta do is try our best to bring happiness to each other's lives. We only have one life, and even though it may seem like we will live forever, life is very short and we have to make every single day of our lives count.
amazing how Kendrick verse changed the feel of this beat. First time I heard it it sounded almost sunny, but now it makes me think how crazy life is. Remember those you lost and who got lost on the way
something about this beat man… it’s chill, it’s relaxing, it’s cooling in a way, but there’s some semblance of grief _in_ there, lurking reminds of times i just had to accept things as they were and be ok with it, or atleast tried to be
Clicked on this instrumental in my feed a while ago... Then i scrolled down and learned about the samples. Proof of how extremely dope pure-sample-based beats can get. The greatest music is already made and rearranging the classics can make such great beats see the light of the day.. Respect!
This instrumental got me thinking about how far that I made it so far in my life and it has me pondering about the future. It also has me thinking about my family
[Verse 1] I woke up this morning and figured I'd call you In case I'm not here tomorrow I'm hopin' that I can borrow A peace of mind, I'm behind on what's really important My mind is really distorted I find nothing but trouble in my life I'm fortunate you believe in a dream This orphanage we call a ghetto is quite a routine And last night was just another distraction Or a reaction of what we consider madness I know exactly what happened You ran outside when you heard my brother cry for help Held him like a newborn baby and made him feel Like everything was alright in a fight he tried to put up But the type of bullet that stuck Had went against his will, that's blood spilled on your hands My plan's rather vindictive Everybody's a victim in my eyes When I ride it's a murderous rhythm And outside became pitch black A demon glued to my back, whispering "Get 'em!" I got 'em, and I ain't give a fuck That same mentality I told my brother not to duck In actuality it's a trip how we trip off of colors I wonder if I'll ever discover a passion like you and recover The life that I knew as a youngin In pajamas and dun-ta-duns When thunder comes it rains cats and dogs Dumb niggas like me never prosper Prognosis of a problem child, I'm proud and well-devoted This Piru shit been in me forever So forever I'ma push it, wherever, whenever And I love you 'cause you love my brother like you did Just promise me you'll tell this story when you make it big And if I die before your album drop, I hope- [Gunshots]

I pull inspiration out of river tides With a hook and line at christmas time See i head the sleigh alone i pull the weight Time goes on life gets harder i struggle at times like today Had 50 dollars to my name the pain i feel when my little girl keep asking me What is santa going to bring? I dont want her to see me hang my head in shame Missing all that work because im hurt dont mask the pain But theres a roof over our head and food on our plates But your too younge to understand Daddy has no help so i cant help but to feel this way I bought a tree and a bumch of little things I can feel your stocking full but wont have much to put underneath the tree I pray that you dont lose your spirit And everytime i try to talk to mommy We just fight she wont hear a thing And as a man i take the blame The stress of holding up a house thats breaking apart and i cant do a thing But i hold u most dear inside my heart And to god i pray. See im still thankfull that we have a place Together still even if the whole family is only held together by a strip of tape I have a job to do i cant always be here for you But i will never go away. If this family splits apart its not because of a lack of effort Ive tried everything Its christmas time and everything is about to change I dont wanna pull apart your hapiness Im exhausted from the arguing And over time My heart has changed But your my little girl i want to give the world everything i never had so ive put up with all the bad but your mom hasnt even tried to try Its been a year since we seen eye to eye So i feel like ive just been buying time And now im drained And i cant buy thing Im tired you can see it in my eyes And im painting my soul onto this page When i was little not much older than you now i hated how my mom had to be alone while my dad was cozy at his place with two girlfriends while we struggled cold without a place to stay Because our home went up in flames Abd even tho i was so little i still understood why we had to leave , there wasnt another way And on her own without god we never would have found a way And so im reminded and i pray I pray that you and i will find a way Even if we have to leave mommy i know your to younge to hear this and really understand but ull feel the same pain I pray for forgivness and tred on If i have to split the family ill bear the pain And i know u might disagree for now but later you will understand I have to do my dutys as a man i have to be the best father not just a dad. I have to make a plan Im Sorry but please understand
One Of The Beats The Old School Masters The Late JDilla.... Would B Proud Of ....... This Instrumental Masterpiece........ Uniquely made from The New Schoolers..... Well Done Kendrick Lamar....... 😉✌️💗
thanks for that comment McTowleliee - i use to write in high school but lost touch with it since lately....i'm 25 now. i agree with you about this music - it's inspiring. i feel you on the acceptance thing and patience is key - understanding will follow. glad you found your way, brother!
The greatest artist have given you joy from the pain they have experienced They have given you an abstract image of the feelings that they feel is vivid They create characters and actors that are larger than life They are small, bitter and timid They can only channel the things that they cannot admit To themselves, they translate seamlessly through another person soul They can only emit, but cannot absorb the light in their deep dark hole People like Hemmingway, Shakespeare and others can only know This burden, I am burdened And saddened by this never changing pattern If I cannot express this passion I feel there is something in my life that I am lacking I am drawn to pain I am drawn to people believing that I am insane If your brain believes it is crazed what’s to stop it from thinking that way The addictions just allow this addiction to live a life of fiction While someone else has to bare living his life in omission Sometimes I wonder if I am blessed My mom believes in God a 110% I think she loves Him more than me I don’t blame her though, I know where she is coming from She believes He completely believes in me Even if I don’t believe in myself He will always help me if I am need I’ve been seeing images of a clown A tear streaming down its face Removing the paint as it amplifies his pain But you just see a small glimpse of his skin I wonder if that has meaning The crooked smile looks broken But the fact that he is trying Atleast justifies that in a panchromatic portrait You can still see the bright sight
When you think about me, are they positive/ Can I think back on the days that we had time to live/ And replay the memories where it was love to give/ And while I think back on it all it feels so counterfeit/ Illusions of Grandeur that I'm encountering/ A road trip down memory lane you could count me in/ Will this adventure be everything that I doubt it is/ Or will I end up on a path that leaves me powerless/ Was I really there or was it all imagination/ I can think of feels but cannot fathom their creation/ Counting down the hours can't connect the days of waiting/ And when I sit and reminisce can't stand to weigh my patience/ But these thoughts will make me famous/ Pouring out my brain so that these verses can be dated/ But as I sit in sickness does it mask my words in tainted/ Visions or is it true that my passion's too contagious/ Try to skip those days in Vegas,/ The land of distant memories and dreams of those who've wasted/ Dolla after dolla just to get their mindstream faded/ But in this day and age is it wrong of me to blame em/ I'll pop the pill but won't swallow/ So much on mind but the rest of me hollow/ Don't trust my own decisions put my faith into a bottle/ Fail this test of life even though I know that a lot will/ Passing up experience to build the love I fondle/ Seen too many deaths, off to buy another laurel/ If I had only hope to borrow/ Would it be my life dream to drown down all my sorrows/ Buy a round of shots and try to usher in tomorrow/ It's a sad reality such a merry dream we follow/
Forghetto Definitely. You don't realize how much this honestly means to me haha. I'm gonna definitely try to start at least recording personal raps and working from there bro. Thanks for the feedback from the bottom of my heart

My intuition is Reinvention - kie Reinvention within my head Opening up newer gates God is 0guiding me to have stronger faith But first I need to change my mental state reciprocate the demons in my head Driving the merc but first you gotta remove the curse We're all one Tryna be loved Using colours to cover up my hurt Going deep within my feelings I sink Ppl be thinkin Ppl be seeking Different things, I wanna rise above from the pain I wanna express myself without having hate beauty in her eyes shows the pain from her darker nights Let's just rise above embrace the curve Open up your arms to those ppl who still have hate Rumours going around like plates passing around Just tryna stay on the ground Are you consumed by the crown Who are you gonna surround yourself with, you are who you mix with I don't brag about getting laid Send help she said before fades Let's just communicate Walking your path, nobody said it won't be tough Constant swipe of never ending lies Water your mind, you're saving your time Stop asking her, will ever you be mine Take the time, to improve what's not fine Stop the rewind What's the point of suffering your mind I get it she's a nine But is she really that divine gotta refine your design what are u tryna fix Inhaling so many different kind of vicks Expressing yourself doesn't mean that you're weak Just means you're embracing what cannot be fixed Storytelling in disguise Soreading love like it's a franchise Stop depending on people when you're sad Don't be mad I'm not done yet Tryna act bold but lowkey afraid of the unknown Don't call me back, I ain't gonna pick up my phone Stop telling me that you're alone You're gonna leave earth with a single soul You've been acting pretty cold I've been feeling pretty low Why can't we just go with the flow Tryna give out my love but bailing when the path is so blur Tryna stay in love but this is making me deter when can we ever concur good days are gonna occur Just stop drinking that liquor That shit will make u suffer Don't stay on the same spot Move on from the battles that you've once fought Don't let your sexual drive interfere with your inner life When time is right Go full out that night We gotta stop this fight Have a piece of my mind honesty over everything It's not the things we say but the way we portray
This instrumental made me tear up its so beautiful Kendrick Lamar is killing it on this track! The only reason he’s not getting more hits is because he hasn’t checked out the short on my channel that breaks down how all these trappers are blowing up so big.

I spilled my emotions out on a paper with pen to this beat for a girl I have an insane crush on (she knows I have a crush on her) everybody please wish me luck, I'mma spit it to her next time we chill ...
brother. I'm going to be as honest as possible right now. What you're doing may seem like some Get Rich or Die Tryin' shit, but it will not work. Girls will only like that shit if it's from who's successful in music already. You're being a little too emotional, and if there's something that girls absolutely do not want, it's being too emotional. That being said -- good luck.

Woke up with an eary feeling Thoughts are racing My Head is killing Body shaking From wind that’s chilling Got me waiting patient for buses filled with children Not used to laughing so Music blasting while staring out the window Not from lack of havin but Lack of passion besides cash and rappin Told me stick to school So Stuck to Fashion Used to bending rules I can never imagine 9-5 for the rest of my life Sitting Stuck in traffic Bitchin where’s my casket Missing times that’s past us Cause nowadays it’s plastic And Holliday’s the saddest All in my ways called habits Like sleeping all day on mattress Or trying to chase the baddest Or contemplate my status Can’t get away from attics Look around we all surrounded By a bunch of fiends who were meant to fly but staying grounded Minds clouded in dopamines Thinking hopeless dreams Now is how it’s sounding The direction I’m headed Most def A legend no question Not really used to this beggin But can you lead me to heaven I got this message embedded To only love from a distance That’s why my love for you’s hidden I miss the times that we shared and i miss times that we didn’t Said you’d always be there but then you went independent Left me to deal with the Pressure Of success and the failure Theres a Fine line between both No more stories of hope Just our lungs filled with smoke Now On a different approach To hit the gas and lets go No looking back or be broke In fact I’m actually both Stuck in the past and can’t cope I Relapse in these cycles While Times are getting rough I gotta skim through the Bible Cause the Devil ain’t giving up

@@esmo915 sorry for your loss. I lost an uncle not too long after i wrote a college presentation describing the storytelling aspects of this song, one of the last projects i completed before graduating college. And all that time that led up to that moment was for him cuz he never graduated. He was like a father, and just happy he got to see me graduate before his untimely passing. Sad thinking about as this beat plays but it puts me at peace. Sorry, just thought id share. This beats so lovely.

I love the little timing imperfections on this beat. Sounds like it was chopped on an old sampler or something. Such a beautiful instrumental
The Bill Withers drum breaks...the "promise that you sing about me, my brother oooohh" voice sample, the glide of this track is one of the best.
"Promise that you'll sing about me FOREVER..."
Every time I hear this instrumental, it makes me remember my grandma and grandpa, and all the love they gave me when they were here. My grandma died in 2016 from breast cancer. My grandpa died in 2017 from smoking too much. It also makes me sad about Kendrick's story too because he lost loved ones as well.
Sorry for your losses my brother, May God comfort your heart and be your peace in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
@@childofGod477 Thank you my brotha, remember that race doesn't matter, humans only use race towards anger towards people that have a certain skin tone. We all people from one race, it's called the human race, so all we gotta do is try our best to bring happiness to each other's lives. We only have one life, and even though it may seem like we will live forever, life is very short and we have to make every single day of our lives count.
amazing how Kendrick verse changed the feel of this beat. First time I heard it it sounded almost sunny, but now it makes me think how crazy life is. Remember those you lost and who got lost on the way
hey man im from 10 years in the future and there's this album called to pimp a butterfly that kendrick will release later this year
I'm feeling a Nujabes vibe coming from this.
first thing that went true my mind
went through
Straight up I love nujabes and samarai champloo this joint straight fit in the mix
Im not
Maybe in the kicks
so much emotion When the gun shots fire on the first verse even with just the instrumental .
That part of the track always hits me hard. It always feels like he gets killed for real, very well done.
Word this shit jus made me think about my moms 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 rip momma love 🙏🏾😔
Zaya Lv fr bro me to 🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
RIP 🙏🏽
Sorry for your loss man.
Appreciate it guys 💯 she ina better place 🤞🏾
Love bro, I bet your mom is smiling down on you, guiding you to your success❤️🤟🏽
something about this beat man… it’s chill, it’s relaxing, it’s cooling in a way, but there’s some semblance of grief _in_ there, lurking
reminds of times i just had to accept things as they were and be ok with it, or atleast tried to be
bruh the gunshots at 2:00 caught me off guard
Austin Lomibao “and if i die before yo album drop i hope”...
That scared the shit outta me
😂
man fr i jumped lmao
Promise that you’ll sing about me my brother
Clicked on this instrumental in my feed a while ago... Then i scrolled down and learned about the samples. Proof of how extremely dope pure-sample-based beats can get. The greatest music is already made and rearranging the classics can make such great beats see the light of the day.. Respect!
the strings are heavenly, could listen to those all day
ua-cam.com/video/IkM1PTDnQKk/v-deo.html
This instrumental got me thinking about how far that I made it so far in my life and it has me pondering about the future. It also has me thinking about my family
This instrumental got my hands on my balls

Bro I can listen to this all day and not get tired. Kendrick is da G.O.A.T
That awkward moment when all the American fans of Kendrick don't even flinch at 1:59
Fact uark
Not only limited to American
Fr I don't live in the US
Bro no one's flinching we all heard that song like 100 times LOL
You stereotyping
damn when those strings come in over the hook... this a real masterpiece

[Verse 1]
I woke up this morning and figured I'd call you
In case I'm not here tomorrow
I'm hopin' that I can borrow
A peace of mind, I'm behind on what's really important
My mind is really distorted
I find nothing but trouble in my life
I'm fortunate you believe in a dream
This orphanage we call a ghetto is quite a routine
And last night was just another distraction
Or a reaction of what we consider madness
I know exactly what happened
You ran outside when you heard my brother cry for help
Held him like a newborn baby and made him feel
Like everything was alright in a fight he tried to put up
But the type of bullet that stuck
Had went against his will, that's blood spilled on your hands
My plan's rather vindictive
Everybody's a victim in my eyes
When I ride it's a murderous rhythm
And outside became pitch black
A demon glued to my back, whispering "Get 'em!"
I got 'em, and I ain't give a fuck
That same mentality I told my brother not to duck
In actuality it's a trip how we trip off of colors
I wonder if I'll ever discover a passion like you and recover
The life that I knew as a youngin
In pajamas and dun-ta-duns
When thunder comes it rains cats and dogs
Dumb niggas like me never prosper
Prognosis of a problem child, I'm proud and well-devoted
This Piru shit been in me forever
So forever I'ma push it, wherever, whenever
And I love you 'cause you love my brother like you did
Just promise me you'll tell this story when you make it big
And if I die before your album drop, I hope- [Gunshots]

If this instrumental gives you the chills. It hits you both the soul and heart. Cause you feel it

You wrote a song about my sister on your tape
And called it Section.80
The message resembled "Brenda's Got a Baby"
What's crazy was I was hearin' about it
But doubted your ignorance
How could you ever just put her on blast and shit?
Judgin' her past and shit?
Well, it's completely my future
Her nigga behind me right now askin' for ass and shit
And I'ma need that forty dollars
Even if I got to fuck, suck and swallow
In the parking lot, Gonzales Park, I'm followed
By a married man, and father of three
My titties bounce on the cadence of his tinklin' keys
Matter of fact, he my favorite 'cause he tip me with E's
He got a cousin named David and I seen him last week
This is the life of another girl damaged by the system
These foster homes, I run away and never do miss 'em
See, my hormones just run away and if I can get 'em
Back to where they used to be, then I'll probably be in the denim
Of a family gene that show women how to be woman
Or better yet, a leader, you need her to learn somethin'
Then you probably need to beat her, that's how I was taught
Three niggas in one room, first time I was tossed
And I'm exhausted, but fuck that "Sorry for your loss" shit
My sister died in vain, but what point are you tryna gain
If you can't fit the pumps I walk in?
I'll wait… Your rebuttal a little too late
And if you have a album date, just make sure I'm not in the song
'Cause I don't need the attention, bring enough of that on my own
And matter fact, did I mention that I physically feel great?
A doctor's approval is a waste of time, I know I'm straight
I'll probably live longer than you and never fade away
I'll never fade away, I'll never fade away, I know my fate
And I'm on the grind for this cake, I'ma get it or die tryin'
I'm eyein' every male gender with intentions of buyin'
You lyin' to these motherfuckers
Talkin' about you can help 'em with my story
You can help me if you sell this pussy for me, nigga
Don't ignore me, nigga, fuck your glory, nigga, you ain't shit...
[Chorus]
When the lights shut off and it's my turn
To settle down, my main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me
I said when the lights shut off and it's my turn
To settle down, my main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I look in the mirror
And ask myself: Am I really scared of passin' away?
If it's today, I hope I hear a
Cry out from Heaven so loud it can water down a demon
With the Holy Ghost 'til it drown in the blood of Jesus
I wrote some raps that made sure that my lifeline reekin'
The scent of a reaper, ensurin' that my allegiance
With the other side may come soon, and if I'm doomed
May the womb of my mother be blessed for many moons
I suffer a lot
And every day that glass mirror get tougher to watch
I tie my stomach in knots
And I'm not sure why I'm infatuated with death
My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats
That can come about, ’cause the tongue is mighty powerful
And I can name a list of your favorites that probably vouch
Maybe 'cause I'm a dreamer and sleep is the cousin of death
Really stuck in the schema of wonderin' when I'ma rest
And you're right, your brother was a brother to me
And your sister's situation was the one that pulled me
In a direction to speak on somethin'
That's realer than the TV screen
By any means, wasn't tryin' to offend or come between
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
I count lives, all on these songs
Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you'll be strong
Fightin' for your rights, even when you're wrong
And hope that at least one of you sing about me when I'm gone
Am I worth it? Did I put enough work in?
[Chorus]
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me
I said when the lights shut off and it's my turn
To settle down, my main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me
[Outro]
Promise that you'll sing about me forever
Promise that you'll sing about me for- ooooh
Promise that you'll sing about me forever
Promise that you'll sing about me for- ooooh
Promise that you'll sing about me forever
Promise that you'll sing about me for- ooooh
Promise that you'll sing about me forever
Promise that you'll sing about me for- ooooh
Reading that first verse hits differently than hearing it man. Shit is deep.
We all tried to sing lyrics while listening to beat hehe
You know it’s good music when the instrumental touches your heart and soul
Every song nowadays is just hook. Respect to Kendrick for coming up with 12 minutes of originality
This is a sample of "Use Me" Bill Withers on his album "Still Bill" originally drummed by James Gadson.
I got to 3:24 in the video until I realized I was listening to the instrumental, I was like damn was the intro always this long wtf
ChiknNoodl lmao funny but total bs
Nv_deleted it ain't I was listening to it on auto play
U had to be high lmfaooo
😂😂fucked stoned mate
lmao
beautifully crafted and fits the content of the song so well
It's 2020. I'm just hearing this for the 1st time & DAMN.
THIS TRACK IS SOO SICK.
I LOVE IT
This beat speaks to me..
Thats how you know its a good beat. as a producer myself i give major Props. Wow. wonderful job sampling
bravo

I LOVE THIS JAM.THANK YOU KENDRICK AND DRE FOR THIS GREAT SONG...
I'be been waiting too damn long for this instrumental. Thank God.

I have goosebumps everytime I listen to this song
Love how he just simply sampled maybe tomorrow by grant green, which is also my favorite track from grant green. Great jazz guitarist
Some beats take immense talent to touch, this is one of them
I drive randomly to this song in the rain after it's calmed down a wee bit & the sun is semi-out with that shine on the street. Yeah, this song on repeat in times like that. Try it.
Beat so pretty I cried tears of joy
that drum pattern is easily one of the greatest if not the greatest and most iconic drum pattern ever used in hip hop, if not the whole of music.
No
I cannot explain how good the beat is
i listen to this version when i don't feel like bawling my eyes out
Dear Kendrick Lamar,
That's a pretty neat photograph of your car,
Maybe one day you'll grow up to be a star,
You are going to go far.

Iconoclastic shit hard 🔥😂
Iconoclastic y u steeling politicz rhymes?
Nick Miller tf is u talkin bout 😂 i was acknowledging
Beautiful *wipes tears*
Iconoclastic shit go hard cuh
I pull inspiration out of river tides
With a hook and line at christmas time
See i head the sleigh alone i pull the weight
Time goes on life gets harder i struggle at times like today
Had 50 dollars to my name the pain i feel when my little girl keep asking me
What is santa going to bring?
I dont want her to see me hang my head in shame
Missing all that work because im hurt dont mask the pain
But theres a roof over our head and food on our plates
But your too younge to understand
Daddy has no help so i cant help but to feel this way
I bought a tree and a bumch of little things
I can feel your stocking full but wont have much to put underneath the tree
I pray that you dont lose your spirit
And everytime i try to talk to mommy
We just fight she wont hear a thing
And as a man i take the blame
The stress of holding up a house thats breaking apart and i cant do a thing
But i hold u most dear inside my heart
And to god i pray.
See im still thankfull that we have a place
Together still even if the whole family is only held together by a strip of tape
I have a job to do i cant always be here for you
But i will never go away. If this family splits apart its not because of a lack of effort
Ive tried everything
Its christmas time and everything is about to change
I dont wanna pull apart your hapiness
Im exhausted from the arguing
And over time My heart has changed
But your my little girl i want to give the world everything i never had so ive put up with all the bad but your mom hasnt even tried to try
Its been a year since we seen eye to eye
So i feel like ive just been buying time
And now im drained
And i cant buy thing
Im tired you can see it in my eyes
And im painting my soul onto this page
When i was little not much older than you now i hated how my mom had to be alone while my dad was cozy at his place with two girlfriends while we struggled cold without a place to stay
Because our home went up in flames
Abd even tho i was so little i still understood why we had to leave , there wasnt another way
And on her own without god we never would have found a way
And so im reminded and i pray
I pray that you and i will find a way
Even if we have to leave mommy i know your to younge to hear this and really understand but ull feel the same pain
I pray for forgivness and tred on
If i have to split the family ill bear the pain
And i know u might disagree for now but later you will understand
I have to do my dutys as a man i have to be the best father not just a dad.
I have to make a plan
Im Sorry but please understand
One Of The Beats The Old School Masters The Late JDilla.... Would B Proud Of ....... This Instrumental Masterpiece........
Uniquely made from The New Schoolers..... Well Done Kendrick Lamar.......
😉✌️💗
Hell yeah
IM GONNA CRY ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
These are the kinds of beats that UA-cam should disable the dislike bar for. This right here is too good to be fooled around wit.
i have some great news
thanks for that comment McTowleliee - i use to write in high school but lost touch with it since lately....i'm 25 now. i agree with you about this music - it's inspiring. i feel you on the acceptance thing and patience is key - understanding will follow. glad you found your way, brother!
The greatest artist have given you joy from the pain they have experienced
They have given you an abstract image
of the feelings that they feel is vivid
They create characters and actors that are larger than life
They are small, bitter and timid
They can only channel the things that they cannot admit
To themselves, they translate seamlessly through another person soul
They can only emit, but cannot absorb the light in their deep dark hole
People like Hemmingway, Shakespeare and others can only know
This burden, I am burdened
And saddened by this never changing pattern
If I cannot express this passion
I feel there is something in my life that I am lacking
I am drawn to pain
I am drawn to people believing that I am insane
If your brain believes it is crazed what’s to stop it from thinking that way
The addictions just allow this addiction to live a life of fiction
While someone else has to bare living his life in omission
Sometimes I wonder if I am blessed
My mom believes in God a 110%
I think she loves Him more than me
I don’t blame her though, I know where she is coming from
She believes He completely believes in me
Even if I don’t believe in myself
He will always help me if I am need
I’ve been seeing images of a clown
A tear streaming down its face
Removing the paint as it amplifies his pain
But you just see a small glimpse of his skin
I wonder if that has meaning
The crooked smile looks broken
But the fact that he is trying
Atleast justifies that in a panchromatic portrait
You can still see the bright sight
The memories I have to this makes me cry. Better times I swear
this is the most beautiful beat I've ever heard
This was the best 7 minutes and 11 seconds of my life :D
my soul hurts right now, i lost my brother. and this is instrumental brings back all of our memories....R.I.H Steven baller Golf, 1991-2017
bennie Vann R.I.P May his soul be in gods hands
When you think about me, are they positive/
Can I think back on the days that we had time to live/
And replay the memories where it was love to give/
And while I think back on it all it feels so counterfeit/
Illusions of Grandeur that I'm encountering/
A road trip down memory lane you could count me in/
Will this adventure be everything that I doubt it is/
Or will I end up on a path that leaves me powerless/
Was I really there or was it all imagination/
I can think of feels but cannot fathom their creation/
Counting down the hours can't connect the days of waiting/
And when I sit and reminisce can't stand to weigh my patience/
But these thoughts will make me famous/
Pouring out my brain so that these verses can be dated/
But as I sit in sickness does it mask my words in tainted/
Visions or is it true that my passion's too contagious/
Try to skip those days in Vegas,/
The land of distant memories and dreams of those who've wasted/
Dolla after dolla just to get their mindstream faded/
But in this day and age is it wrong of me to blame em/
I'll pop the pill but won't swallow/
So much on mind but the rest of me hollow/
Don't trust my own decisions put my faith into a bottle/
Fail this test of life even though I know that a lot will/
Passing up experience to build the love I fondle/
Seen too many deaths, off to buy another laurel/
If I had only hope to borrow/
Would it be my life dream to drown down all my sorrows/
Buy a round of shots and try to usher in tomorrow/
It's a sad reality such a merry dream we follow/
xCykel nice
yo. i gotta use this
Julian Brito I guess😂. i honestly don't think I have the voice for rap so i usually just write anyway
Forghetto True. I initially did it to see if any of them were even decent tbh haha. Just kinda wanted to see how other people viewed what I wrote.
Forghetto Definitely. You don't realize how much this honestly means to me haha. I'm gonna definitely try to start at least recording personal raps and working from there bro. Thanks for the feedback from the bottom of my heart
This sounds like something you'd hear off the weather channel...So chill and easy to relax to. Makes you feel good and you just sit there and ponder...Like you're on a different planet
I play this instrumental all the time just to relax my mind
My favorite joint on the album
My intuition is
Reinvention - kie
Reinvention within my head
Opening up newer gates
God is 0guiding me to have stronger faith
But first I need to change my mental state
reciprocate the demons in my head
Driving the merc but first you gotta remove the curse
We're all one Tryna be loved
Using colours to cover up my hurt
Going deep within my feelings I sink
Ppl be thinkin
Ppl be seeking
Different things,
I wanna rise above from the pain
I wanna express myself without having hate
beauty in her eyes shows the pain from her darker nights
Let's just rise above
embrace the curve
Open up your arms to those ppl who still have hate
Rumours going around like plates passing around
Just tryna stay on the ground
Are you consumed by the crown
Who are you gonna surround yourself with, you are who you mix with
I don't brag about getting laid
Send help she said before fades
Let's just communicate
Walking your path,
nobody said it won't be tough
Constant swipe of never ending lies
Water your mind, you're saving your time
Stop asking her, will ever you be mine
Take the time, to improve what's not fine
Stop the rewind
What's the point of suffering your mind
I get it she's a nine
But is she really that divine
gotta refine your design
what are u tryna fix
Inhaling so many different kind of vicks
Expressing yourself doesn't mean that you're weak
Just means you're embracing what cannot be fixed
Storytelling in disguise
Soreading love like it's a franchise
Stop depending on people when you're sad
Don't be mad
I'm not done yet
Tryna act bold but lowkey afraid of the unknown
Don't call me back, I ain't gonna pick up my phone
Stop telling me that you're alone
You're gonna leave earth with a single soul
You've been acting pretty cold
I've been feeling pretty low
Why can't we just go with the flow
Tryna give out my love but bailing when the path is so blur
Tryna stay in love
but this is making me deter
when can we ever concur
good days are gonna occur
Just stop drinking that liquor
That shit will make u suffer
Don't stay on the same spot
Move on from the battles that you've once fought
Don't let your sexual drive interfere with your inner life
When time is right
Go full out that night
We gotta stop this fight
Have a piece of my mind
honesty over everything
It's not the things we say but the way we portray
One of the best beats on the album, this Sherane and Real
those strings make me cry like a bitch every time
This is so soothing
This instrumental made me tear up its so beautiful
Kendrick Lamar is killing it on this track! The only reason he’s not getting more hits is because he hasn’t checked out the short on my channel that breaks down how all these trappers are blowing up so big.
Kendrick a god for this album, these beats are masterpieces shits amazing make u rap from your soul

If so may I introduce you to Nujabes
+Zackary Gann crazy thing is the beat is chopped up to sound like that
+Jevauni Jones the guy that made music for that Samurai Champloo anime ? He's dope
Yea samurai champloo was amazing and its because it had such a great sound track.

Everytime I hear this I think about how I hate my life and in the future I'll think back on how good life was
This song heals my wounds❤
I spilled my emotions out on a paper with pen to this beat for a girl I have an insane crush on (she knows I have a crush on her) everybody please wish me luck, I'mma spit it to her next time we chill ...
you got it.
I believe in u
you gone crash and burn my man. but dont let that kill you so to speak
brother. I'm going to be as honest as possible right now. What you're doing may seem like some Get Rich or Die Tryin' shit, but it will not work. Girls will only like that shit if it's from who's successful in music already. You're being a little too emotional, and if there's something that girls absolutely do not want, it's being too emotional.
That being said -- good luck.
dont be afag just let her read it
this song is the greatest oat
...And may the womb of my mother be blessed for many moons...
Nobody should be freestyling over this!!! Too legendary, you only get to admire the great beat
Sometimes I look in the mirror
And ask myself: Am I really scared of passin' away?
If it's today, I hope I hear a
Cry out from Heaven so loud it can water down a demon
With the Holy Ghost 'til it drown in the blood of Jesus
I wrote some raps that made sure that my lifeline reekin'
The scent of a reaper, ensurin' that my allegiance
With the other side may come soon, and if I'm doomed
May the womb of my mother be blessed for many moons
I suffer a lot
And every day that glass mirror get tougher to watch
I tie my stomach in knots
And I'm not sure why I'm infatuated with death
My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats
That can come about, ’cause the tongue is mighty powerful
And I can name a list of your favorites that probably vouch
Maybe 'cause I'm a dreamer and sleep is the cousin of death
Really stuck in the schema of wonderin' when I'ma rest
And you're right, your brother was a brother to me
And your sister's situation was the one that pulled me
In a direction to speak on somethin'
That's realer than the TV screen
By any means, wasn't tryin' to offend or come between
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
I count lives, all on these songs
Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you'll be strong
Fightin' for your rights, even when you're wrong
And hope that at least one of you sing about me when I'm gone
Am I worth it? Did I put enough work in?
shut the fuck up
@@godamonggoldfish8984 Literally the lyrics to the actual song
GodAmongGoldfish why? lmao
Probably Blue okay? we can google lyrics if we want to see it
@@godamonggoldfish8984 always gotta be that one rude nigga in the comments smh
becoming my favorite song and this tune is so amazing.
Woke up with an eary feeling
Thoughts are racing
My Head is killing
Body shaking
From wind that’s chilling
Got me waiting patient for buses filled with children
Not used to laughing so Music blasting while staring out the window
Not from lack of havin but Lack of passion besides cash and rappin
Told me stick to school
So Stuck to Fashion
Used to bending rules
I can never imagine
9-5 for the rest of my life
Sitting Stuck in traffic
Bitchin where’s my casket
Missing times that’s past us
Cause nowadays it’s plastic
And Holliday’s the saddest
All in my ways called habits
Like sleeping all day on mattress
Or trying to chase the baddest
Or contemplate my status
Can’t get away from attics
Look around we all surrounded
By a bunch of fiends who were meant to fly but staying grounded
Minds clouded in dopamines
Thinking hopeless dreams
Now is how it’s sounding
The direction I’m headed
Most def
A legend no question
Not really used to this beggin
But can you lead me to heaven
I got this message embedded
To only love from a distance
That’s why my love for you’s hidden
I miss the times that we shared and i miss times that we didn’t
Said you’d always be there but then you went independent
Left me to deal with the Pressure
Of success and the failure
Theres a Fine line between both
No more stories of hope
Just our lungs filled with smoke
Now On a different approach
To hit the gas and lets go
No looking back or be broke
In fact I’m actually both
Stuck in the past and can’t cope
I Relapse in these cycles
While Times are getting rough
I gotta skim through the Bible
Cause the Devil ain’t giving up
Alex Pitts that goes hard 🤯
Good shit
I'm a spiritual lyrical individual
Spiritual miracle lyrical individual
Spiritual miracle individual
Skippin' and flippin' and dippin'
And skippin' and flippin' and dippin'
The illest, the killest, the skill of the willest
I'm the realest, I'm the realest
I'm bringin' real hip hop back, don't you ever forget it
Fuck Lil Wayne and the government's corrupt
Fuck the government 'cause I don't give a fuck
I'm the realest in the game 'cause I'm underground
And fuck that mainstream shit 'cause I don't give a fuck
I'm a spiritual lyrical miracle
Lyrical spiritual illest of miracle lyricals
Flippin' and dippin' and skippin'
If you actually pay attention he actually sampled OutKast’s So Fresh, So Clean
He sampled the 808s which is pretty cool
this beat remind me of everything good in life
unforgettable , Simple !
Lupe just freestyled over this beat. It was 🔥
I’m thinking about my childhood memories over this beat
This beat makes me go into deep thought about life itself
Feels like my feet off the ground, I'm floating forward into the light of nothingness, yet feeling completely fulfilled with love and peace...
Rip wero. I think about you with this beat. I know you would've loved it.
Damn, sorry for your loss man.
Fookie Bookie thank you
One love
Damn thats sad. Sorry for your loss (2019)
@@esmo915 sorry for your loss. I lost an uncle not too long after i wrote a college presentation describing the storytelling aspects of this song, one of the last projects i completed before graduating college. And all that time that led up to that moment was for him cuz he never graduated. He was like a father, and just happy he got to see me graduate before his untimely passing. Sad thinking about as this beat plays but it puts me at peace. Sorry, just thought id share. This beats so lovely.
