I recognize you're lookin' at me for the pay cutīehind my side we lookin' at you from the face down This represents his struggle with his faith and sin.Artista: Kendrick Lamar Letra de canción de músicaīut if God got us then we gon' be alrightĭo you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright In the short film which accompanies the song, images of Lamar being baptised are combined with images of him being tempted by sin (KendrickLamarVEVO, 2016). The line “I’m your dog” is clever wordplay referring to the portrayal of Lucifer in literature as a dog and the slang use of the word ‘dawg’ to mean a close friend. It is clear that Lucy is Lucifer/The Devil trying to tempt Kendrick and lead him to reject his belief in God. This line suggests that Lucy can take Kendrick’s attention away from God.įorty acres and a mule? A piano, a guitar?Īnything, see my name is Lucy, I’m your dog” (Alright, 2015)
“ Lucy gon’ call you even when Lucy know you love your Father” (For Sale? Interlude, 2015) These lyrics suggest that Lucy and Kendrick can make a deal Lucy will give Kendrick everything he’s ever wanted in return for his trust and loyalty. Lucy just want your trust and loyalty” (For Sale? Interlude, 2015) Inside the gi-gantic mansion like I promised Throughout Kendrick Lamar’s album ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’ (2015) he alludes to a woman called Lucy and her wish to lead Kendrick astray: However, I cut this out in my final draft as I felt it did not fit with my overall essay theme, or the theme of Black theology in Hip Hop.ĭespite that, I still think the representation of Lucy is interesting and worth talking about outside of my essay. In the first draft of my essay I wrote about the character Lucy and it’s relevance to Kendrick Lamar’s music.
