Reading these lyrics and themes, there is a major major theme drawing all of these songs together centred on the idea of searching for answers and solutions for life issues and trauma outside of yourself. Part of it centres around kendrick talking scout how he searches for solutions in women and material things, and part of it accuses us of looking to him for our own salvation. The key to all of this is mother I'm sober and mr morale. I personally lean towards the idea that the first disk is kendrick telling us about how he copes, and suffers... the 2nd disk is him holding up a mirror to us, showing us how we cope, look to other sources for solutions to problems we have to deal with looking at ourselves before anyone else. The point of the album is that hurt people hurt more people, which is the "culture" and we have to break the cycle through introspection in order to protect the next generation. To break "the culture" which is passed down through generations as disguised trauma... we look to him as our personal "mr morale" - which is meant semi sarcastically, he shouldn't be our morale dial. The world, all of us, we are the big steppers, who hurt people due to our traumas

HEY HEY I said the song had grand standing for sure, no denying it

I think Cole's response proved her point more than K Dot, lmao K Dot was literally in the streets while Cole wrote a whole song in response.

And idk if folks look at Noname like that for her to be the "holier than thou" poster child or if they think that particular situation was just dumb af, which it was for all parties involved.

As far as the s*** hits the fan line it is fair, but in the context I feel like he was on some "innocent until proven guilty" s*** with who and what he was referring to
