I HOPE YOU FIND SOME PEACE OF MIND IN THIS LIFETIME

So how tf does the title of this album make sense with the themes of the music

you aint a big steppa

It’s just easier for me to relate to Kendrick being a flawed man, talking about cheating on his wife, than a grand thesis on the sociopolitical effects of race in America. So… I don’t know which is OBJECTIVELY better. But I know which one my heart bleeds for more.

If there’s not a video for We Cry Together it’s a major missed opportunity

Silent Hill is crazy

For me the big steppers was just the first half grappling with s*** that 'the culture' is dealing with

And mr morale is kendrick with the second half centred around more insular personal s*** thats affecting him directly

p gave kenny and jack harlow beats from the same pack, smh

kenny was going crazy on that song too

that’s definitely what I got from this project too

Morals and Big Steps in self development

One Of These Lives, I'ma Make Things Right
With The Wrongs I've Done, That's One Of You Now
With The Father, Son, 'til Then, I Fight
Rain On Me, Put The Blame On Me
Got Guilt, Got Hurt, Got Shame On Me
Got Six Magazines That's Aimed At Me
Done Every Magazine, What's Fame To Me?
It's A Game To Me, Where The Bedroom At?
Sleep, I Aingt Never Had Affairs With That
What's Fair Whеn The Hearts And The Words Don't Rеach?
What's Fair When The Money Don't Take Things Back?
It's Rare When Somebody Take Your Dreams Back?
I Care Too Much, Wanna Share Too Much
In My Head Too Much, I Shut Down Too
I Aingt There Too Much, I'm A Complex Soul
They Layered Me Up, Then Broke Me Down
And Morality's Dust, I Lack In Trust
This Time Around, I Trust Myself
Please Everybody Else But Myself
All Else Fails, I Was Myself
Outdone Fear, Outdone Myself
This Year, You Better One Yourself
Masks On The Babies, Mask On An Opp
Wear Masks In The Neighborhood Stores You Shop
But A Mask Won't Hide Who You Are Inside
Look Around, The Reality's Carved In Lies
Wipe My Ego, Dodge My Pride
Look Myself In The Mirror
Amityville, I Aingt Seen Nothing Scarier
I Fought Like A Pitbull Terrier
Blood I Shed Could Fill Up Aquariums
Tell My Angels, "Carry Them"
Every Emotion Been Deprived
Even My Strong Points Couldn't Survive
If I Didn't Learn To Love Myself
Forgive Myself A Hundred Times, Dawg

This s*** here is just beautiful man

If u need someone to explain it to u instead of making your own interpretation of what it could mean

I feel like u missing out on giving it a personal meaning

As opposed 2 having someone tell u what to think

U could keep searching for your own understanding

No I got my own ideas I’m just drawing blanks on the big stepper aspect of the concept. I think I have the mr Morale part down

I got daddy issues

one thing i love about kendrick and i think you gotta respect him for it whether you like him or not is he just takes this rapping s*** so seriously. feel like most rappers just been making whatever and not really putting serious effort from the amount of mid we get on a weekly basis.

B**** I’m attractive
Can’t f*** with you no more
I’m fasting

Kendrick and Ye treat making albums like it’s literally a matter of life or death.

That song gets the
