Lyrics:
[Intro]
We got a young brother to stand for something
We got a young brother to believe in the all of us
Brother Kendrick Lamar
He's not a rapper, he's a writer, he's a rapper
And if you read between the lines
We'll learn how to love one another
But you can't do that
I said, you can't do that
Without loving yourself first
[Verse 1]
I done been through a whole lot
Trials and tribulations, but I know God
Satan wanna put me in a bow-tie
Praying that the holy water don't go dry, yeah yeah
As I look around me
So many motherfuckers wanna down me
But ain't no nigga never drown me
In front of a dirty double-mirror they found me
[Hook]
And I love myself
(The world is a ghetto with guns and [?])
I love myself
(But it can do what it want with everyone and I don't mind)
I love myself
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than sour side)
I love myself
(One day at the time, sun gone shine)
[Verse 2]
Everybody looking at you crazy (Crazy)
What you gone do? (What you gone do?)
Lift your head up and keep moving (Keep moving)
Or let the paranoia haunt you? (Haunt you)
Peace to fashion police I wear my heart
On my sleeve let the runway start
You know the miserable do love company
Fuck do you want from me and my scars?
Everybody lack confidence, everybody lack confidence
How many times our potential was anonymous?
How many times the city making me promises?
So I promise this
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
They wanna say there's a war outside and a bomb in the street
And a gun in the hood and a mob of police
And I rock on the corner in a line full of fiends
And a bottle full of lean and a model on the scene, yup
These days the frustration keep y'all on tucking rotation
I duck these gold faces, post up fee-fi-fo-fum bases
Dreams of realities peace
Blow steam in the face of the beast
The sky can fall down, the wind can cry now
The strong in me, I still smile
[Hook]
[Bridge]
Walk my barefeet (Walk my barefeet)
Down, down valley peak (Down, down valley peak)
I keep my fee-fi-fo-fum (Fee-fi-fo-fum)
I keep my heart undone (My heart undone)
[Hook]
[Verse 4]
I went to war last night
With a hardened metal weapon, don't nobody call a medic
I'mma do it 'til I get it right
I went to war last night
I've been dealing with depression ever since an adolescent
I can never yell the blessin', l can never see the message
I can never take the lead, I can never bob and weave
From my nigga [?] then alienate me
And the sound is moving in a meteor speed
From a 100 to a billion 'til my body in the street
Keep my mommy in a cell and my mama know I'm free
Give my story to the children and the lesson they can read
And the glory to the feeling of all of y'all scenes
Seen enough, make a motherfucker scream "I love myself"
I lost my head, I must've misread what the good book said
Our wolves be fed, it's a jungle inside
My mind suffocate 'til the world runs dry.
영어 실력이 월등하지 못해 자세한 해석은 못해드리지만
도입부에서 켄드릭 찬양하지만 켄드릭의 메세지도
자기 자신을 사랑하지 못하는 사람들에게는 아무 소용없다는 식으로 이야기하고
켄드릭이 하이피치 목소리로 부정적인 이야기(?)들을 쏟아내다가
마지막 벌스에서 분노 비슷하게 폭발시키고
그렇게 살지말고 자신을 사랑해라 그러는 내용인거 같네요
LE 분들이 나중에 잘 해석해주시겠죠 대충 이런 곡인거 같습니다 일단
와 켄드릭에대한 관심이 다른래퍼들에 비해 장난이아니네요(레전드빼고) 뭔가 해석뜨면 엄청 더 좋게 들릴거같은 느낌이 오네용ㅎㅎ
