Kendrick Lamar - "To Pimp a Butterfly"

[G.Avant]

Isn't there a part 2 to this..

It's pimp a butterfly and 12 homies or something? Right?

12 Homies at the white house

If your walls could talk they’d tell you it’s too late

Your destiny accepted your fate

Burn accessories and stash them where they are

Take the recipe, the bible and god

Wall telling you that commissary is low

Race wars happening no calling CO

No calling your mother to save you

Homies say to you, you're reputable, not acceptable

Your behavior is Sammy Da Bull like a killer that turned snitch

Walls is telling me you a bitch

You pray for appeals hoping the warden could afford them

That sentence so important

Walls telling you to listen to "Sing About Me"

Retaliation is strong you even dream about me

Killed my homeboy and God spared your life

Dumb criminal got indicted the same night

So when you play this song rewind the first verse

About me abusing my power so you can hurt

About me and her in the shower whenever she horny

About me and her in the after hours of the morning

About her baby daddy currently to serving life

And how she think about you until we meet up at night

About the only girl that cared about you when you asked her

And how she fucking on a famous rapper

Walls could talk

Cold Ass Entendre

"You pray for appeals hoping the warden could afford them"

I've seen a few different interpretations of that line,..

Just following the narrative of the track it looks like he's talking to a dude that's in jail ...an enemy who was convicted of killing one of his friends ...

So when dude is praying for an appeal he's literally hoping the warden has the wherewithal to influence a juse to grant/afford him his freedom

The next line is the entendre..

That sentence (warden descion) is so important

That sentence (the thought process kendrick just wrote) is so important

What other interpretation have you seen?

"You pray for appeals hoping the warden could afford them"

For profit prisons. Each prisoner is an investment so he's literally hoping, likely unbeknownst to him, the warden could afford to grant him an appeal.

As a collective they are all dope in their own way. If someone says "I like such and such better" cool but its wack IMO when folks make it seem like none of those other niggas aint shit compared to Kendrick.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Ye talking that inspired shit but I already get the feeling "So Help Me God" will be his most mainstream sounding effort to date.

 

[KillaCham]

Glad to see Thundercat on this album. For those who played Grand Theft Auto V you might be familiar with this track:

Kendrick my favorite and I agree with this. We all gonna age. Our personal favorites so it's not crazy to say so and so better then these niggas. But to say one of these are better by a huge margin pretty crazy to say.but I'll say thi. Kendrick has been the most consistent out of wale, cole, Drake, Krit.

Album came off very "BE'ish"(the album), Very conscious and smooth. Think it maybe a tad bit long but like the direction he went. How the hell he was able to pull an album like that off on Interscope/Aftermath is beyond me but he pulled it off. Will be interesting how it does with no "hit" records like "Swimming Pools", not that I care or it matters at all.

You don't know what what means? It's not rocket science bruh lol. And is there people out there that could see Kendrick lyrically? Yes. Flow wise? Yes. But overall, if you ask me hell no. And I'm talking about his versatility and skill in crafting songs and conceptualizing. His total package is the coldest.

 

[JDSTAYWITIT]

This is better than gkmc imo

I like the overall meaning

whats your interpretation of the meaning?
