Kendrick really in a league of his own. Writing from the perspective of "ABC" by "the Jackson 5" and the "I Have a Dream speech" is insane, and he fr just scrapped it like it was nothing 😂
Yeah he said he has hundreds if not thousands of songs that he has yet to release and will not release. He says they are more for him. I think that's why it takes him so long to create albums full Studio albums. He appreciates his craft He reminds me so much of Tupac .🎉
i have a theory: this song is the reason why kendrick didn’t come on euphoria saying “drake you like kids” but hinted at it, he probably had hope drake changed in some way but no matter how many warnings he gave, drake didn’t care so he took off drakes mask and revealed what drake is really like
I'd say this. Kendricks music is more meaningful and it's messages can last for a lifetime. Rap ain't always about saying things to get a shock reaction. To me Kendrick is miles ahead and means more for the culture.
The first verse is from the perspective of Michael Jackson's ABC song The second verse is from the perspective of Martin Luther King jr.'s I have a dream speech The third verse is from the perspective of Kendrick himself

remember the first time i heard this song on soundcloud, my favorite kendrick songs have always been the ones that made me think deeply and reflect about myself. mortal man, how much a dollar cost, savior, crown, fear, and feel. but the first listen of this i was speechless, potentially top 3 kendrick ever if it dropped
@@Karan-un8uz hes writing from the perspective of the ABC song by the Jackson 5, the perspective of the I have a dream speech, and lastly from himself. Kendrick is asking the question of whether or not the art should be separated from the artists, as micheal jackson was accused of pedophillia, and mlk yearn for women. However these works in Kendricks view should still be cherished as they are important work of art, politics and poetry. Kendrick is afraid that once his skeletons come out of the closet, his art will lose its value, this is seemingly related his recent beef with Drake, will Drake's skeletons take away his influence and importance
Ultimately the message of the song was his view on separating art from the artist. But I feel like this song was supposed to be released back in 2018 after he threatened to remove his own music off of Spotify because they were taking R’Kelly and XXX’s Catalogue off of the platform. He got backlash about him “Supporting” R’Kellys Music, and I feel like he made this song because he wanted to explain that the music is what should be acceptable, not the artists’ flaws or their actions though.
I agree this seems very likely. Also his voice in this song sounds like it was recorded in the Damn era. Makes me wonder if this song was scrapped from that album.
I see why kenny said drake didn't have any classics. If he admitted he had some, he would have to defend him on this "seperate the art from the artist" tip even though he is a pdf
I stood on stage and had to watch my father on the news They crucify my affiliation for points to prove And now my purpose for living makes no difference to you My total existence was for making us smile and move They said that I'll live forever But the moment he died More accusations arrived I had to die too
@@tenacity2633 whose the new gen? I’m 33 years old. Drake is a Trendy artist. He follows trends in order to be effective. That’s not needed with timeless music.
This will probably never be released, it's just a discard that he probably doesn't even remember he wrote. Maybe we'll hear it officially on a posthumous album, if his kids do a good job.

Yeah he likes having a concept to everything he releases so I bet lots of really good music gets cut if he thinks it wouldn't fit on the record or if another song touches on what he wants to say. I wish he'd just wrap all these tracks into an untitled unmastered 2 and just drop that as is sad.
The world needed 2020 kendrick. Wouldve been a fusion of my most personal favorite Kendrick Lamars, the introspective and various sounds and topics and story of damn, and Mr morales inportance to my childhood only fee years ago, with its soulfuo grace and meaning in songs like the heart part 5.

“But the moment he died more accusations arrived, I had to die too” makes me tear up every time
This is beyond beautiful, art at its purest form
Wow kenny you got me again
How am I discovering this TODAY? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
dear kendrick id love to take two minutes to rethink abt my life
so good
This song gave me chills 😎 Kendrick is on a different level
i have a theory:
this song is the reason why kendrick didn’t come on euphoria saying “drake you like kids” but hinted at it, he probably had hope drake changed in some way but no matter how many warnings he gave, drake didn’t care so he took off drakes mask and revealed what drake is really like
Like if Kendrick is better than Eminem.
Drake got eminem wiped down
I'd say this. Kendricks music is more meaningful and it's messages can last for a lifetime. Rap ain't always about saying things to get a shock reaction. To me Kendrick is miles ahead and means more for the culture.
Who is Eminem in front Man Man...
@@FGPlus If u knew how wrong u were
Glad this agenda is being pushed🙏Tpab n Mr.Morale🙌
litteraly so beautiful
The first verse is from the perspective of Michael Jackson's ABC song
The second verse is from the perspective of Martin Luther King jr.'s I have a dream speech
The third verse is from the perspective of Kendrick himself
Impossible MJ birthday is in August
@@toytoy1427 I said it’s from the perspective of the song not MJ himself

@@omarwanace23_45that’s a silly summation
Is this the actually prayer song from kendrick lamar 😮
If it is ive been looking for this for a good time now
Drake couldn’t even Phantom creating a biography from perspective of our heroes.
This should've been on TPAB.
Another one of the reasons Kendrick is KING.👑
I was born on February 24th, 1970
The day I was delivered
They said I would build a legacy
Picture me with influence
That last generations
I was made out of love to
Keep you happy and educated
The first three letters of
The alphabet my name
I made you laugh, I made you dance
I made you sing
I been around the world and back
You recorded my almanac
So dearly way before the fact
Me and pops was estranged
My father was a public figure
Bigger than life
Lived as a winner, on stages alike
Rivers of people surely united
Just to see our bond
Time carried on, that was a common thread
My perfect father had many flaws
Still they moved they legs and
Shook they heads in unison
He had more children, I was the oldest
We always played with each other
'fore they ruined 'em
He told me his personal secrets
Childhood catching on beatings
Sexually touched and abused
Never seen life in a school
The price of being iconic
Was demonic and screwed
I stood on stage and had to
Watch my father on the news
Stress on the head of my spirit
I was lost and confused
I knew both sides of the story, but still
I couldn't choose see, it was more than
Humiliation and bein' sued
They crucified my affiliation for
Points to prove
And now my purpose for livin'
Makes no difference to you
My total existence was for
Makin' a smiling move
They said that I'll live forever
But the moment he died
More accusations arrived i had to die too
I remember takin' my first
Breath August 28th, 1963
The whole nation had saved the day
I made it on TV
My come out was a standing ova'
The crowd in disbelief
How could a group of words be so great?
Designed to make you think
Races and faces embracin' my
Conscience in letter form
How gracious was I speakin' on
Changes once outside the norm?
The person responsible, my creator
He never conformed or used hatred
To form mass retaliation
Watch him perform with conviction
Two hundred and fifty thousand souls
Left they homes to listen
I gather his thoughts in abundance
Made to complete the mission
His life became heroic, then tables turned
My creator stripped from being a
Poet because he yearned
Other women, infidelity stricken
I can't say he was perfect
It made me nervous
They tear him down and forget me
I prayed that I survived in
The midst of the controversy
How many lives'll fall on deaf
Ears if I'm not worthy?
I won't justify his personal problems
That's not my job
I was only born to make sure
Your children can play outside
And I imagine the other demons
He hid before he died
If they came to surface
This dream probably won't be alive
Because of you
I was born in paranoia, it's poison for us
We can't create with joyous ambition
We're out of luck the critics formed a new
Coalition and huddled up
The non-creators are now elated
And out of touch
Why can't you gladly appreciate
The influence we give?
Stop starin' at me disgusted
My substance made sure you'd lived
You want the head of the messenger
And the history from him
Which eventually takes away from
The good you accustom
Think of a life without the
Likes of imagination that's prosperin'
The bodies that you consider genius
You like to box 'em in
The great debaters and thinkers
They gave you a voice
Why can't you prosecute the crimes and
Not the thoughts I employ?
Because your better judgement will always
Look down on me
But if I recollect how we connect
You'll account on me
I got a theory that most of
Y'all won't allow to see it goes like this
Talent doesn't choose morality
See, if Daniel Hale was a killer
Would you not want a heart?
If Carl Benz was a racist
Would you stop driving cars?
I can't help we jump in these bodies
And you called them a God
Just know the Earth is just a
Rock without the voices of art
Sincerely yours
This song right here, just by itself unreleased a top 10 song by him, hands down
HOLY SHIT! CHAT! I FOUND IT!
it got taken off spotify im so hurt
I swear I've heard this..?
Terrace martin really setting bars
The instruments, the flow, the choise of words, the beautifully delivered message, this can make a grown man cry
