How's it going everyone? Been awhile. Here's a new thing I've always wondered about doing, and figured I might as well give it a shot. This new little installment will highlight songs that I would classify under as one of those lyrical masterpieces you only come by so often. Granted this is my opinion (y'all know how much I love Kendrick Lamar), so this is no way means they're better than your favorite rapper. Although, Kendrick is. Anyway.
The Heart Pt. 2 is one of Kendrick's self-confessed favorite songs he's ever done. Off of his "(O)verly (D)edicated)" mixtape, It really does have a lot of heart in it, showing him pour out his feelings about life, society, and everything in between. Spitting over The Roots' "A Piece of Light" (one of the best standalone beats out), he really does the beat justice and it feels natural with his lyrics. That's really hard to do. There's some lines here that literally make put me in awe every time I hear them, even though I listen to this song all the time.
I provided a streaming link, along with the lyrics below after the jump. I'll highlight my favorite lyrics below in bold. If you've STILL slept on dude until now (or have never heard/paid attention to the song), you gotta read along while Kendrick kicks the latest facts.
