Throughout the song he brings up Asian, Indian, Black and White stereotypes, and what is perceived within each culture as “successful”. This young lady’s unwillingness to accept his advances makes Kendrick think about what real “success” is. Spitting game, or flirting is typically associated with braggadocio: money, cars and your title. Kendrick’s intro summarises the meaning behind the song. Tell 'em we don't die, tell 'em we don't die I shall enjoy the fruits of my labor if I get freed today
World tour, your masters, market, I need ya You ain't signing your signature when I throw you my walletĪ lot of rappers are giving their demo all in the toilet I'mma make you some promises that you just can't ignore Tell me what you accomplished and what he said to the boy Put myself in the rocket ship and I shot for the stars Hit the bank and withdraw, hit the bank and withdraw Put a price on my talent, I hit the bank and withdraw You losing your core following, gaining it all Make a million or more, you living better than average What if I compromise? He said it don't even matter I go platinum from rapping, I do the company fine Telling me that he selling me just for $10.99 That's what the white man wanted when I rhyme I wouldn't be prouder, you should allow it Nookie is power, cut on a new chick every night He said "homie, come back to reality for a week"
We like to live in the jungle, like to play in the peach That's what the black man said, I needed to push meĭo it all for a woman, hair cut to a wool These tangible things expire, don't you expect Profit a better dollar with generational perksĮquity at his best, really, you should invest Telling me longevity is in the dirt, buy some property first That's what the Indian said, I needed demand Worried about your career, ever think of your health?
Lyrics to untitled 3 kendrick lamar full#
See you thinking too much plus you too full of yourself Meditation is a must, it don't hurt if you try
Him believing in Buddha, me believing in GodĪsked me what am I doing, he said "taking my time" Intervention was his religion and now it's a prize That's what the Asian said, I need a divine I said "You know what, girl? You crazy." Then she asked me what he said I was tryna spit my best game to her, you know, give her my best cap, but she kept on snapping her fingers like *snaps*. "I know for sure who you are/ You're the goddess of the odd" he says, before resigning, "I am yours.So I met this young lady, ya know, when I went back home. In the end, Lamar reassures his love interest that none of those misgivings matter. Themes of duality in general pervade the song the chorus, sung by CeeLo, sees lines like "Both sides of me are evenly odd" and "Am I mortal man or make believe?"ĭuality is also demonstrated in the song's structure toward the end of the song, focus on Kendrick's insecurities shifts to the perceived insecurity that his love interest might have of her humble upbringing. "Look how you think that my mystique is a round of applause." "Look at my flaws, look at my flaws/ Look at my imperfections and all," Kendrick says in his second verse. The song can be interpreted as Lamar, the suitor pleading with a love interest while reconciling his insecurities. The reference to Lamar being a Gemini, born on June 17, is salient as the song focuses on personality traits that seemingly compete against one another.
