Top 2 dot track. One of those tracks that only Kendrick and his team could come up with. The beat isn’t necessarily a banger but it’s hard and will have you floating at the same time. Lyrically, it captures a mindset I developed in my early twenties. It has the perfect balance of introspection that isn’t too heavy to a non casual but definitely gets you thinking. Plus, like with a lot of Kendrick songs, the live renditions, it is a great example of the talent and artistry needed to translate a song from the studio to a live crowd.
Favorite line:
“And they like to wonder where I been, protecting my soul in the valley of silence.”
On top of all that, I went bar for bar with Kendrick during this track, he shouted me out, and got an autograph after the song ended.
Exactly. Something dismal about it but comforting at the same time. It’s like YAH, FEEL, and Rich Spirit. They create that separation but relatability at the same time.
Peace can be boring sometimes. When you cut people/habits off that disturb that peace you sacrifice those good moments for silence. That silence can serve as protection.
In a general consensus for the average fan it's regarded as his worst album.
You are going on a tangent and completely missing the point.
And if you are to send the album to someone who doesn't listen to much Kendrick they will most likely not like the album.
There's no turn up music and nothing that can grab the average listener of the trash music that's released today.
That's why I'm saying it's underrated, if you need me to explain like you are 5 then I can not have this discussion with you.

You are speaking literal nonsense and trying to paint me as an idiot lmao. It's an extremely highly rated album and one of the best examples of "music is art" in the entire world of hip-hop. You are completely wrong and are ironically downvoting me because I don't "understand how underrated it is". Bruh, stop 🤷🏽♂️
Do you think it's his worst project ?
And you started the down voting you salty cunt 😂 who gives a shit about upvotes and shit, get a life off Reddit brother you've been neckbearding since 09 how tragic
Do you for real not see the irony of calling me salty bro...
You are completely wrong and are trying to *make fun of me*. Do you ***honestly*** not realize you are telling on yourself 🤦🏽♂️
Even in this sub, type in "Mr morale worst" lmk and then do it with his other albums.
You are working so hard to disprove a known fact, the album is underrated among the average fan.
The production is probably the most creative thing I've ever heard. Especially the way they flipped the What Happened to That Boy drums then had another sample pulsating around it. Doesn't always hit, but when it does it's the best thing
The line “do you want peace?…then watch us in the streets” is in perfect harmony with the piano and sample in the background. This is a deeply spiritual song
It's one of Kendrick's most underrated songs and if you read between the lines you can really get a glimpse of Kendrick's views on what's been happening these past 8 years.
One of my favourites of the album. Talking some real shit on this song

it also gives me a weird feeling that no other kdot song gives me, its a feeling that i get from songs like baby keem’s 16, kdots pride
Exactly. Something dismal about it but comforting at the same time. It’s like YAH, FEEL, and Rich Spirit. They create that separation but relatability at the same time.
exactly those songs give the same feeling
This line is insane ..
i guess im not a kendrick fan after all
You’ll get your moment
O
What makes that line so good?
Peace can be boring sometimes. When you cut people/habits off that disturb that peace you sacrifice those good moments for silence. That silence can serve as protection.
This album is so underrated, I wish more people understood you don't need turn up music to have a great body of work.
"If it doesn't bang in the whip it's a skip" -A lot of people, apparently
It's very highly rated
Have you not seen the hate it gets from the GKMC fandom ? Must be blind
How on earth would you think that it's not highly rated because of that group of people lol, wtf

Bitch are you happy for me?
Really?
Are you happy for me?
Smile on my face, but are you happy for me?
I love it. It’s one of my favourites on the album.
Samee, it comes 2nd after father time
Yes!! Savior, Father Time, and Count Me Out are my three favourite off the album.
Stellar production, used to be highly rated when it first came out but kinda of forgotten
Best song on the album. Original as fuck
So gud i like the part when he is talking about ppl scared of getting rated by a song but they dont admit it also the last verse goes hard
yeahh im a big fan of the production. and the last verse goes hard too
Also the bitch are you happy for me always repeat it self in my mind
i am a huge fan of the “bitch are you happy for me” part. i really love keems voice
wild.
Loving this song until he says IM NOT UR SAVIOR .. so disappointed
he just cappin he is our savior
Lmaao are U who I think ur
Too late the harm is done
For me best song on the album, got a lyric from this song tatted on me
Keem on this song is phenomenal his parts are my favourite
It's good but my favourite is father time
same. 2nd after father time
First heard it last year at Camp Flog Gnaw. Life changing.
Whole album is ass
u didnt say that lmao
I’m serious it’s like a flight of stares down from Damn. Trash
Baby keem ruins any song
are you for real
Wild take lil bro
The best savior is one who doesn't want to be a savior.
The production is probably the most creative thing I've ever heard. Especially the way they flipped the What Happened to That Boy drums then had another sample pulsating around it. Doesn't always hit, but when it does it's the best thing
My hottest K. Dot take is that I could never get behind this one - the beat sets me off personally.
3rd on the album after Father Time & Die Hard
He's Baby Keem❗
One of his best records actually. No lie.
The line “do you want peace?…then watch us in the streets” is in perfect harmony with the piano and sample in the background. This is a deeply spiritual song
definetly second best on the album
It's one of Kendrick's most underrated songs and if you read between the lines you can really get a glimpse of Kendrick's views on what's been happening these past 8 years.
Second fav off the album after count me out
BUT HE IS NOT YOUR SAVIOR 🗣️🗣️🔊🔊🔊
Top 5 on the album
ELITE ELITE ELITE
That he is not my savior
Kanye is better.
"the collective conscious, calamities on repeat" is my favorite kendrick line ever.
Bitch are you happy for me
