Kendrick Lamar is back and he’s
got a lotta love to share. The cover art for “i”
(which shows opposing gang members in unity) had us wondering what, exactly, K.
Dot would be rapping about on the first single from his good kid, m.A.A.d city
follow up, and he’s definitely keeping it positive in the middle of
mayhem.
“i” produced by Rahki,
incorporates a sample of the Isley Brother’s 1973 hit “That
Lady,” and in the between the catchy and positive hook “I
love myself,” K. Dot spits about the madness in the world…that
still can’t bring him down.
“They wanna say it’s a war outside/ And
a bomb in the street/ And a gun in the hood/ And a mob of police/ And rock on a
corner/ And a line full of fiends/ And a bottle full of lean/ And a model on
the scene,” he spits. “These days of
frustration keep ya’ll on tuck and rotation/ I duck these cold faces….Dreams
and reality is 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.”
So what are you gonna do? “Lift
up your head and keep moving? Or let the paranoia haunt you?”
