Written by Kendrick Lamar,
Sounwave, and Fashions Designer, rapper, producer Pharrell Williams who also
says the hook. The video starts off black and white with a lady yelling “House
Keeping” and Kendrick Lamar screams; then says a short poem while visuals of
Compton are shown. The begins with the
Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) crew in the car Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Jay
Rock and Ab-soul jamming out to Kendrick. This is where Pharrell sings the hook “Ni--a, we gon' be alright. Ni--a, we gon'
be alright. We gon' be alright” stating that not only will you be “alright”
in life but with the faith of God, your plans to success will occur. The video goes through the city Los Angeles
fully shot in black & white; creative a different vibe compared to other
artist.
Kendrick Lamar is more of a poet incorporating
his lyrics with images of what he sees while he’s in the studio creating music;
he has the quality of Tupac wanting the listener to listen carefully to what he’s
saying, understand the true meaning of each word. Kendrick raps “I rap, I black on track so rest assured. My rights, my wrongs; I write
'til I'm right with God” a very powerful bar (Sentence) he expresses his good
deeds and repents his sins on songs, so he can be good with God. In the end, of
the song Kendrick Lamar says his poem, but you have to listen and watch the
music video to hear this. His album ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ is a great work of
art, I say art because it’s different from other albums. Each track has a part
of a poem and the last song is something every Rap/Hip-hop would want to hear.
So check out the video above and feel free to write comments on what you think
the meaning and explanation is, behind the music video and track.
