Lyrical Analysis of...
Maad city - Kendrick Lamar
- Brace yourself, I'll take you on a trip down memory lane
- This is not a rap on how I'm slingin' crack or move cocaine
- This is cul de sac and plenty Cognac and major pain
- Not the drill sergeant, but the stress that weighin' on your brain
- It was me, L Boog, and Yan Yan, YG Lucky ride down Rosecrans
- It got ugly, wavin' yo' hand out the window –check yourself!
- Uh, Warriors and Conans, hope euphoria can slow dance
- With society, the driver seat the first one to get killed
- Seen a light skinned nigga with his brains blown out
- At the same burger stand where *beep* hang out
- Now this is not a tape recorder sayin' that he did it
- But ever since that day, I was lookin' at him different
- That was back when I was nine, Joey packed the nine
- Pakistan on every porch is fine, we adapt to crime
- Pack a van with four guns at a time
- With the sliding door, fuck is up?
- Fuck you shootin' for if you ain't walkin' up, you fuckin' punk?
- Pickin' up the fuckin' pump, pickin' off you suckers
- Suck a dick or die or sucker punch
- A wall of bullets comin' from AK's, AR's, "Aye, y'all—duck!"
- That's what Momma said when we was eatin' that free lunch
- Aw man, goddamn, all hell broke loose
- You killed my cousin back in '94, fuck yo' truce!
- Now crawl your head in that noose
- You wind up dead on the news
- Ain't no peace treaty, just piecin' BGs up to pre approve
- Bodies on top of bodies, IVs on top of IVs
- Obviously the coroner between the sheets like the Isleys
- When you hop on that trolley, make sure your colors correct
- Make sure you're corporate or they'll be callin' your mother collect
- They say the governor collect all of our taxes, except
- When we in traffic and tragic happens, that shit ain't no threat
- You movin' backwards if you suggest that you sleep with a TEC
- Go buy a chopper and have a doctor on speed dial, I guess
- M.A.A.d city
