It would take on a completely different meaning. In the last bar here, Kendrick, who was born in 1987, claims to be 87 years old. ![]() His wisdom and composure speak for themselves here even on a song that, on the surface, seems shallow and braggadocious. Kendrick suggests he grew up fast, having made these decisions and gained this life experience as a two-year-old. The 20s are seen as the decade in which you more-or-less become the person you’re going to be for the rest of your life. In these three bars, we have Kendrick straddling the human lifespan. It’s a pump-up, it’s a chill song, it’s a song that demands introspection. I remember listening to this on repeat back in college while studying, riding around with my college girlfriend just blasting this song, playing it whenever I got the aux cord at parties even when most people weren’t feeling it or weren’t hyped about Kendrick.

The doctor looked and said, “He’s going to be a bad boy” Biggie Smalls – Respect (1994) I’m seeing my death and I ain’t even took my first step To the hospital, to see if she could get a little help No spouse in the house so she rode for self New York, New York, ready for the likes of this I wish moms would hurry up so I could get buck Out the skins, in this world of fly girls My moms is late so I had to plan my escape The Best Reference for Each Age Birth Itselfġ970 something, nigga I don’t sweat the date I am proud to say that most of these are sourced from songs I’ve listened to many times over the years, which perhaps lends me some additional credibility.
