One day, I may have a little girl. And it’s a girl in particular—funny you said that. She’s gonna grow up. She’s gonna be a child I adore, I’m gonna always love her, but she’s gonna reach that one point where she’s gonna start experiencing things. And she’s gonna say things or do things that you may not condone, but it’s the reality of it and you know she was always gonna get to that place. And it’s disturbing. But you have to accept it. You have to accept it and you have to have your own solutions to figure out how to handle the action and take action for it.
When I say “the little girl,” it’s the a***ogy of accepting the moment when she grows up. We love women, we enjoy their company. At one point in time I may have a little girl who grows up and tells me about her engagements with a male figure—things that most men don’t want to hear. Learning to accept it, and not run away from it, that’s how I want this album to feel.

April 12, 2017 | Punch posts PRIDE. verse that was left off DAMN.

Kendrick Lamar - PRIDE. (Scrapped 3rd verse)
Pride is my biggest sin
I tried to fight it but I never win
Lay’n myself down in the beds I made
Karma is always knockin with capital K’s
It started when I was toss’n my life in the sand
Cross’n the street, momma don’t you hold my hand
Time revealing itself
My ways are magnified
Same patterns requiring that I never camouflaged
Looking at me in shock you found my identity
Asking yourself do I have room 4 empathy
Everything is subject 2 change
But not me

April 14, 2017 | Kendrick Lamar releases his 3rd solo studio album DAMN.

BLOOD. Lyrics
Intro: Bēkon
Is it wickedness?
Is it weakness?
You decide
Are we gonna live or die?
Verse: Kendrick Lamar
So I was takin' a walk the other day
And I seen a woman—a blind woman
Pacin' up and down the sidewalk
She seemed to be a bit frustrated
As if she had dropped somethin' and
Havin' a hard time findin' it
So after watchin' her struggle for a while
I decide to go over and lend a helping hand, you know?
"Hello, ma'am, can I be of any assistance?
It seems to me that you have lost something
I would like to help you find it"
She replied, "Oh, yes, you have lost something
You've lost… your life"
Gunshot
Bridge: Bēkon
Is it wickedness?
Outro: Eric Bolling & Kimberly Guilfoyle
Lamar stated his views on police brutality
With that line in the song, quote
"And we hate the popo, wanna kill us in the street fo' sho'"
Oh, please, ugh, I don't like it

People popping there heads into ktt every now and then see this just shows how lowkey these still are like I've been doing these for months could use some feedback and s***.... but the site is bussing like that and dudes see it every album cycle popping kinda funny

You’re on fire

Maybe a travis Scott one down the road? KTT was pretty ambivalent towards him in the lead up to DBR/Rodeo and he dropped one of the most respected debuts of the modern era

Noted I'll do him f*** it
