To Pimp a Butterfly still deserves more love here. i mean..
"Do you believe in me? Are you deceiving me?
Could I let you down easily, is your heart where it need to be?
Is your smile on permanent? Is your vow on lifetime?
Would you know where the sermon is if I died in this next line?
If I’m tried in a court of law, if the industry cut me off
If the government want me dead, plant cocaine in my car
Would you judge me a drug-head or see me as K. Lamar
Or question my character and degrade me on every blog
Want you to love me like Nelson, want you to hug me like Nelson
I freed you from being a slave in your mind, you’re very welcome
You tell me my song is more than a song, it’s surely a blessing
But a prophet ain’t a prophet til they ask you this question:"
and then you have "You Ain't Gotta Lie" which reminds me of A Tribe Called Quest in their heyday. "I could spot you a mile away/ I could see your insecurities written all on your face... You ain't gotta lie to kick it my nigga, you ain't gotta try so hard".
Complexion - "Give a fuck about your complexion, I know what the Germans done"
"Let me talk my Stu Scott, ‘scuse me on my 2Pac
Keep your head up, when did you stop loving thy
Color of your skin, color of your eyes
That’s the real blues, baby, like you met Jay’s baby
You blew me away, you think more beauty in blue, green and grey
All my solemn men up north, 12 years a slave
12 years of age, thinkin’ my shade too dark
I love myself, I no longer need Cupid"
^^^ i would quote the entire verse.. Kendrick actually wrote it and let Rapsody rap it.
just goosebumps all over. this album is really something special. it puts me on the verge of tears.
