Squabble Up - Kendrick Lamar: A Hip-Hop Poet

God knows
I am reincarnated
I was stargazin'
Life goes on, I need all my babies (gyah, gyah)

Woke up lookin' for the broccoli
High-key, keep a horn on me, that Kamasi
IP, ownership, the blueprint is by me
Mr. Get Off, I get off at my feet

When I hear music, it makes me dance
You got the music, now is your chance

A yee niga couldn't try me in the tri-state
Buddy pass, bet I get him splashed 'til he hydrated
Bounce out, know he spook town, eyes dilated
I got the money and the power both gyratin'
I feel good, get the fuk out my face
Look good, but she don't got no taste
I walk in, walked out with the safe
Mando, let me know what the play

What the fu*k?
I got hits, I got bucks, I got new paper cuts
I got friends, I got foes, but they all sitting ducks
Hit his turf and get crackin', double back like a deluxe
50 deep, but it ain't deep enough
Fuck a plea, there he go, beat him up
Fallin' from my money tree, and it grow throughout the months
Spit a loogie at the camera, speed off, yeah, it's us

I feel good, get the fuk out my face
Look good, but she don't got no taste
I walk in, walked out with the safe
Mando, let me know what the play

Squabble up, squabble up
Squabble up, squabble up
Squabble up (mm, mm), squabble up (mm, mm)
Squabble up (mm, mm), squabble up

Hol' up (hol' up)
Where you from? (Where you from?)
My bitch (my bitch)
I'm finna go dumb (finna go dumb)
Sideways (sideways)
Bunk skunk (bunk skunk)
Fever (fever)
I'm on one (I'm on one)

Thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, baby rockin' it
Quid pro quo, what you want? 'Cause I'm watchin' it
Work on the floor, let me know if you clockin' it
Brodie won't go, but I know that he poppin' it
It was woof tickets on sale 'til I silenced it
Pipe down, young, these some whole other politics
Bitch with him and some bitch in him, that's a lot of bitch
Don't hit him, he got kids with him, my apologies
Ghetto child, it was Black & Milds with the Smirnoff
Yeehaw, we outside, whoadie 'bout to kill him off
Blaps on blaps, it's a fact, this a brick of raw
Tell me, why the fuk you nigas rap if it's fictional?
Tell me, why the fuk you nigas fed if you criminal?
"Hey Dot, can I get a drop?" I'm like, "Nigga, nah"
Ace boon coon from the Westside to Senegal
It's a full moon, let the wolves out, I been a dog (ah)

I feel good, get the fu*k out my face
Look good, but she don't got no taste
I walk in, walked out with the safe
Mando, let me know what the play
Squabble up, squabble up
Squabble up, squabble up
Squabble up (mm, mm), squabble up (mm, mm)
Squabble up (mm, mm), squabble up

The Poet of Hip Hop: Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar is considered one of the most innovative and influential artists in hip hop.

He has created his unique voice by conveying social messages through his music.

He is not simply a rapper but is regarded as a storyteller, poet, and icon of change.

Kendrick Lamar was born in Compton, California in 1987.

Compton is an important city in hip hop history, the birthplace of legendary groups such as N.W.A.

In his childhood, he was heavily influenced by the music of Tupac Shakur and Dr. Dre, which nurtured his dreams of becoming a rapper.

In 2003, at the age of 16, he began to gain attention under the stage name "K.Dot" with his first mixtape, "Youngest Head Nigga in Charge".

Over the next few years, he developed his style through various mixtapes and gradually gained recognition in the underground hip hop scene.

In 2011, his first independent album, "Section.80", received critical acclaim for its powerful social messages and lyrical lyrics.

This album, in particular, was a turning point in establishing him as an artist who tells the stories of his time.

The most significant turning point in his music career was the release of "good kid, m.A.A.d city" in 2012.

This masterpiece, which epically unfolds his adolescence and experiences in Compton, includes hit songs such as "Swimming Pools (Drank)" and "Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe".

In 2015, with the album "To Pimp a Butterfly", which incorporates elements of jazz, funk, and soul,

he tackled themes of race, identity, and social justice, earning tremendous praise from critics and fans alike.

"Alright," in particular, became closely associated with the American Black Lives Matter movement, establishing itself as a contemporary resistance anthem.

Released in 2017, <DAMN> earned him his first "Pulitzer Prize for Music",

once again demonstrating his status in the music world.

Kendrick Lamar's music features addictive beats and poetic, metaphorical lyrics that make you ponder the meaning of his words.

He has won numerous Grammy Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Music,

proving that hip hop can be recognized as art, not just popular music.
