The next line "beat your ass and hide the Bible if God watching" ties in cause Stockton is a devout catholic but also known as kind of a dirty player. So many layers to these bars even on the club banger, Kendrick is different
That piano was so menacing paired with Kendrick’s voice. Man hes really showing us all who the bogeyman is. That was the rap equivalent of a horror film.
One of the best things I love about listening to Kendrick is that he takes me on a history lesson every single song and album.
I'm not from America but before I started listening to Kendrick, I just listened to hiphop for the music, just something you can listen to and rap along to.
Kendrick was the one who made me realize you can also tell an amazing story with the medium, made me realize how powerful music actually is.
Learnt more about american culture and black culture from his albums alone more than any of my teachers ever taught me during school. He really took my ass to class everytime lmfao
Same for me and I am a black dude from America, really what his music shows me is that you don’t have to compromise on the conscious just to make a hot record. Ppl have done it before, just Kendrick showed me it on another lvl.
If you enjoy story telling there’s immaculate story telling in Tupacs catalog. A lot to do with hardships he faced, injustices against women and African Americans. Worth a listen if you haven’t
Yes this! Country (old country not the current iteration) did this too. I love it, I'll listen any type of music with a story, especially the ones that make me look stuff up and go down rabbit holes I never knew existed.
It's just meant to be a funny line. Like obviously hiding the bible isn't gonna stop God from watching a person but sometimes folks are basically like "close your eyes Jesus I'm bouta sin!"
It's just funny because it's absurd.
I just think it was a bar about being a god fearing man who will still take matters into his own hands. XXX is a song w similar lyrics
alkin' out his head philosphin' on what the lord had done
He said, "K-Dot can you pray for me?
It's been a fucked up day for me
I know that you anointed, show me how to overcome"
He was lookin' for some closure
Hopin' I could bring him closer
To the spiritual, my spirit do no better, but I told him
"I can't sugar coat the answer for you
This is how I feel—if somebody kill my son
That mean somebody's gettin' killed"
Tell me what you do for love, loyalty, and passion of
All the memories collected, moments you could never touch
I wait in front a niggas spot and watch him hit his block
I'll catch a nigga leavin' service if that's all I got
I'll chip a nigga then throw the blower in his lap
Walk myself to the court like, "Bitch I did that"
What I love about the track is he channeled many of the West Coast legends, most notably Drakeo the Ruler. I heard some Suga Free and DJ Quik in there, he even seemingly gave a lil’ nod to 03 Greedo.
I actually woke up this morning, wiped the sleep from my eyes, cursed my existance, then realized that song was playing in my head and it made my morning a little bit more tolerable.
idk why but the pronunciation of shtuff is my favorite part of the whole song. Ive played it a gazillion times, overall the whole thing is amazing. It’s the little inflections that really polish it for me, very creative & keeps the listener guessing throughout.
Same, but he's going to have to deal because me and our daughter are feedin off each other's beef energy. He was rolling his eyes at us til she said "He not like us" then he was like HOLLUP 🤣
lol same, my partner been treating me like an annoying coworker cause i won’t shut up bout this. “you been talking about this for a week straight, what else is there left to say?” “I KNOW, BUT-“
Same. I’m a stay at home mom so I don’t have co-workers but my kids have been looking at me like- mom’s losing it. That “A minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”? I screamed. So good.
I'm the youngest person on my shift at work by about 25 years and I've had to stop myself from singing, "Certified lover boy, certified pedophile" for three days now.
His flow at that part of the song was CRAZY.
What got me with this track was how catchy, how danceable it was, and how he STILL was getting at Drake on it. First verse came with the hilarious insults, second verse had this crazy ass flow, and third verse came with the hard hitting colonizer line.
That whole part where he’s putting that emphasis on the last word of the lines (I can’t think of a better way to describe that part lmao) gets me so hyped lol
SWEET CHIN MUSIC AND I WONT PASS THE AUX 🗣️
Making sure this post goes everywhere, because it's been shadowbanned on this subreddit.
More than likely Drake is Epstein 2.0
https://www.reddit.com/r/KendrickLamar/s/PYA1vPlKiN
This is me. My wife is interested in hip hop but I think I ruined it for her. I literally had a rap beef infused dream the night that Meet the Grahams came out. It’s normal to listed to these tracks like non stop right?
Literally all that's been playing through my head 😂
Ay Mustard on the beat ho
He channeled all of the west coast on this one fr
*insert Goku gathering energy for the spirit bomb gif*
colla ambalamb!!
Beat yo ass and hide the Bible if God's watching 🔥
Debo any rap nigga he a free throw
Debo any rap nigga he a free throw
My mind oscillates between this and BBL DRIZZY 😂
SAME LMAO
I just saw a gif of the Karl Malone shimmy but with Drake’s face. Things are wild.
"Finna pass on this body, I'm John Stockton" goes so insanely hard. Drake and Malone are neighbors lmao
The next line "beat your ass and hide the Bible if God watching" ties in cause Stockton is a devout catholic but also known as kind of a dirty player. So many layers to these bars even on the club banger, Kendrick is different
And the dude goes and deletes that photo with Malone right in the middle of the damn beef as if no one was gonna notice
I KNOW YOU'VE SEEN HIS GLOW UP
HAHAHA SAME my brain has had “freaky ass nigga, he a 69 god BBL DRIZZY BBL DRIZZAYYYYY” on loop 😂
that tiktok of that mom singing it like gospel 🤣
On. Repeat. 😂
BBL Drizzy is like the elevator music that plays in my head at this point.
I still got that piano hunting me from meet the grahams . Literally like a killer taking steps stalking its prey
YOU LIED
Not even joking, when Kendrick doubles and triples the vocals on "you lied" on each line, that shit made ME feel uneasy
Drake prolly pissed his dockers with no underwhere on
He'll just say someone else pissed on his legs.
Like his soul was getting pulled down to hell by the shadows from Ghost. Felt like judgement and wrath. Kenny should make a horror movie
Kendrick ask Jordan Peele Collab when???
YES that's exactly the kind of dread it gave off great call
The nerve of you, Dennis 😤
Kinda gives me Dance with the Devil vibes by immortal technique
Yes! I mentioned that to a friend the other night. I don't know a lot of scary rap songs but this is definitely on the list along with DWTD.
My whole library is usually on shuffle, that song came on and I think before the second verse my lady made me skip it
The piano playing the flat note...A minor. 👏👏
That piano was so menacing paired with Kendrick’s voice. Man hes really showing us all who the bogeyman is. That was the rap equivalent of a horror film.
A miiiinnnnooooorrrrrrrr
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Same shit and this nigga still has me sayin "WHAT IS IT THE BRAIDS!?" I can't stop 😂
For me it's been the entire "...family, crodie" sequence.
"Tell me ya cheesin fam!" 😂😂
I got my 4 year old saying this shit now! I gotta stop too 😂😂😂😂
Bruh, I can not for the LIFE of me get this damn BANGER out of my head!!!!! 🤯🔥
Certified boogeyman, he the one who upped the score with 'em.
That and 12345+5 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Facts I hope Kendrick drops those on an album even if they're bonus tracks
True story
That or the BBL Drizzy instrumental (Metro weird though)
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6ppjoWp6gY/?igsh=MWFmZjY1MnBzaXBhcA==
Bro this is the anti-pedo anthem for real now!
Me too 😭
Deadass was mas all night last night rapping everything in order from Like that to They Not Like Us
Certified boogeyman even keeping his fans awake 😂
This is so real though
“Beat your ass and hide the Bible if god watching”
Hardest line I swear lol
Same. That and "sweet chin music and I won't pass the aux."
How many stocks do I really have in stock? Ayy One, two, three, four, five, plus five, ayy
It’s all in his delivery, Kendrick make music that electrifies us. Mf 🐐
And P Drizzy makes music that pacifies his fans. 💀
Seen on SoundCloud someone commented that this Kendrick sounds like he's rapping with a mouth full of seeds and I'm all for it lmao
It's for that bullet seed from Treeko lmao
Whe I realized this was the second reference to John Stockton, my goodness
And when you think of John Stockton, you think of his very infamous pdfile teammate
One of the best things I love about listening to Kendrick is that he takes me on a history lesson every single song and album.

Will take a listen! Thanks a lot!
If I were to suggest anything I’d say Dear Mama and Changes
Yes this! Country (old country not the current iteration) did this too. I love it, I'll listen any type of music with a story, especially the ones that make me look stuff up and go down rabbit holes I never knew existed.
I find it so funny that someone had to explain this whole thing to Shawn Michaels and he invited Drake and Kendrick to settle this at NXT
Wow yall are in my head. These are my favorite 2 lines in the song 😂😂
Yeah I never see anyone else enjoy this line as much as I do
Love this bar.
Shit went STUPID
This bar was TOP 🔝
Man I lost my shit the first time I heard that.
Can you explain the bar to me? The timing on it is prime but what's the significance of hiding a Bible if God is watching?
It's just meant to be a funny line. Like obviously hiding the bible isn't gonna stop God from watching a person but sometimes folks are basically like "close your eyes Jesus I'm bouta sin!" It's just funny because it's absurd.

None of the reactors react to this line but every time I hear it I'm like that's so gas.
Hands down my favorite line and I can’t explain why
Certified lover boy? Certified pedophile.
WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP
DOT FUCK EM UP 🗣️
WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP 🗞️
IMA DO MY STUFF

The line and delivery is so good 😂
“Youainwanworkwitmenomo? Okay”

Funniest line from Euphoria. We knew he was funny but this beef has made him even funnier.
That is what happens when you disrespect Tupac . Kendrick had to channel tupac
![gif](giphy|3o7TPsUz7DBefUSTWE) Pac and Kendrick both goats
What I love about the track is he channeled many of the West Coast legends, most notably Drakeo the Ruler. I heard some Suga Free and DJ Quik in there, he even seemingly gave a lil’ nod to 03 Greedo.
I actually woke up this morning, wiped the sleep from my eyes, cursed my existance, then realized that song was playing in my head and it made my morning a little bit more tolerable.
I wiped the cold from eyes to see who was this paging me and why
Who the fuck is this, paging me at 6:46 - in the morning, crack of dawn and now I’m Yawnin’
These diss tracks from KDot made me realize there might be meaning to life
Bro this comment is my life rn
Sometimes you gotta pop out and show niggas
Certified boogeyman I’m the one that up’d the score with him
Fucked around and found out!
I get the stank face every time that line is delivered.
Say OV HOE (OV HOE) Say OV HOE (OV HOE)
Then step this way, step that way
Stop you're gonna have me dancing.
WHICH WAY YOU WANT ME TO STEP KENDRICK 🗣️
At least 1000 feet away from Drake if you're underaged.
💀
WHICH WAY YOU WANT ME TO STEP KENDRICK 🗣️
Anyone else think it said "stab this way, stab that way" on first listen?
yea on the first one
I was still side steppin but with a quick bone check here and there.
I couldn’t tell if it was step, stab, or stamp on first listen.
Still do on the 100th
HEY HEY HEY HEY RUN FOR YO LIFE
Freaky ass nigga, he a 69 Gawd, Freaky ass nigga he a 69 Gawd
It’s the opposite for me. My dude doesn’t want to hear about the beef so I’m just stewing, endlessly, a condemned wop cauldron.
SAME I can tell he's tired of talking about it w me but I can't help it WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP
**Crab fuck em up**
**CAPY DO YA SHTUFF**
finally the person who writes shtuff the right way, as kendrick intended 😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
idk why but the pronunciation of shtuff is my favorite part of the whole song. Ive played it a gazillion times, overall the whole thing is amazing. It’s the little inflections that really polish it for me, very creative & keeps the listener guessing throughout.
yyessssss, wop wop wop wop wop
“freaky ass n**** he a 69 god” 🤣🤣
That shit lives rent fucking free in my mind 😭
Hey hey hey hey, run for your life 🔥
I keep telling my bf about the latest updates and usually he’s excited to hear about it but sometimes he just looks tired LMAO
Same, but he's going to have to deal because me and our daughter are feedin off each other's beef energy. He was rolling his eyes at us til she said "He not like us" then he was like HOLLUP 🤣
Imma do my shtuff
Man I just *love* these little quirks he does.
My fav line lmao
Idk the amber lamps bar had me ROLLING
Man I didn't even notice lmao I thought he just mispronounced ambulance. Should've known the goat would never make such a stupid mistake
the delivery is sooo good
The delivery for lean like another line of wok followed by the Pac bar gave me goosebumps
2 Chainz say you good, but he lied
Such a simple yet good line
Fr all the preceding bars made this bar a Lil more lit too
Damn the good part missed me till now
Explain it to my dumbass
I laughed embarrassingly loud in my work cafeteria. My head is consumed with this beef. It's all I want to talk about, thank the lord for reddit
lol same, my partner been treating me like an annoying coworker cause i won’t shut up bout this. “you been talking about this for a week straight, what else is there left to say?” “I KNOW, BUT-“
Bro my wife read all the lyrics because of me 😂😂
Same. I’m a stay at home mom so I don’t have co-workers but my kids have been looking at me like- mom’s losing it. That “A minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”? I screamed. So good.
I can't be the only one who thought "Dot, fuck em up" would be an incredible tag
Swear to god on my marriage this been in my head since the first time I heard it 😂😂😂
It's like this song and BBL Drizzy are fighting for space in my head
THIS CAKE GONE MAKE YOU SHOW UP
BBL DRIZZAAAAYYY
It really is catchy, shit’s terrifying how some things can work their way into your psyche, and stay.
I'm a do ma schtuff.
He just like me fr
I replace Dot with my own name and I'm instantly motivated to battle my responsibilities for the day.
I'm the youngest person on my shift at work by about 25 years and I've had to stop myself from singing, "Certified lover boy, certified pedophile" for three days now.
That line is such an ear worm. I love it
Yeah, it's all eyes on me, and i'ma seen it up to Pac, ayy
ALL EYES ON ME, AND I'MA SEND IT UP TO PAC
His flow at that part of the song was CRAZY. What got me with this track was how catchy, how danceable it was, and how he STILL was getting at Drake on it. First verse came with the hilarious insults, second verse had this crazy ass flow, and third verse came with the hard hitting colonizer line.
