conversations.value: Write me a song called FEAR. with the following description: On “FEAR.,” Kendrick explores three instances of true terror at ages 7, 17, and 27, respectively. In the first verse, he explores the fear he experienced growing up in the hood with a strict mother.
  The second verse interpolates Beanie Sigel’s classic track “Die” and explores the life of a teenage Kendrick expressing his fear of dying at a young age; especially with the rampant gang activity and police brutality in Compton, California. He takes a distinct turn in tone, rapping in a deep, monotone voice that denotes adolescent depression.
  In the third and fourth verse, Kendrick revisits the anxieties found on 2015’s To Pimp A Butterfly: the lack of confidence in himself and his abilities, and the fear of losing the life he had built for himself; particularly at the age of 27. This notion may have been inspired by the familiar concept of the 27 Club, a group of famous artists and musicians who died at this age.
  The fourth verse also acts as a thesis statement for the entire album, combining references to every other song on the tracklist. He goes beyond simply naming the tracks by addressing the recurring question from the album’s opener, “BLOOD.”:
  Is it wickedness?
  Is it weakness?
  You decide…
  Kendrick said that the verses in this song are the best he’s ever written, in an interview with i-D Magazine on October 17, 2017.
  According to Songfacts, he explained the veracity of the song:
  It’s completely honest. The first verse is everything that I feared from the time that I was seven years old. The second verse I was 17, in the third it’s everything I feared when I was 27. These verses are completely honest. Make sure the lyrics are different from the original song.

  Poverty's paradise
  I don’t think I could find a way to make it on this earth
  (I've been hungry all my life)
  [Voicemail: Carl Duckworth]
  What's up, family?
  Yeah, it’s your cousin Carl, man, just givin' you a call, man
  I know you been havin' a lot on yo' mind lately
  And I know you feel like, you know
  People ain't been prayin' for you
  But you have to understand this, man, that we are a cursed people Deuteronomy 28:28 says, "The Lord shall smite thee with madness And blindness, and astonishment of heart"
  See, family, that's why you feel like you feel
  Like you got a chip on your shoulder
  Until you follow His commandments, you gonna feel that way...
  [Bridge 1: Charles Edward Sydney Isom Jr. & 
  Kendrick Lamar

  Why God, why God do I gotta suffer?
  Pain in my heart carry burdens full of struggle
  Why God, why God do I gotta bleed?
  Every stone thrown at you restin' at my feet
  Why God, why God do I gotta suffer?
  Earth is no more, won’t you burn this muh’fucka?
  I don't think I could find a way to make it on this earth

  I beat yo’ ass, keep talkin' back
  I beat yo' ass, who bought you that?
  You stole it, I beat yo' ass if you say that game is broken
  I beat yo' ass if you jump on my couch
  I beat yo' ass if you walk in this house
  With tears in your eyes, runnin' from Poo Poo and Prentice
  Go back outside, I beat yo' ass, lil' nigga
  That homework better be finished, I beat yo' ass
  Your teachers better not be bitchin' 'bout you in class
  That pizza better not be wasted, you eat it all
  That TV better not be loud if you got it on
  Them Jordans better not get dirty when I just bought 'em
  Better not hear 'bout you humpin' on Keisha's daughter
  Better not hear you got caught up
  I beat yo' ass, you better not run to your father
  I beat yo' ass, you know my patience runnin' thin
  I got buku payments to make
  County building's on my ass, tryna take my food stamps away
  I beat yo' ass if you tell them social workers he live here
  I beat yo' ass if I beat yo' ass twice and you still here
  Seven years old, think you run this house by yourself?
  Nigga, you gon' fear me if you don't fear no one else
  [Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
  If I could smoke fear away, I'd roll that mothafucker up
  And then I'd take two puffs
  I'm high now (Huh), I'm high now (Huh)
  I'm high now (Huh), I'm high now (Huh)
  Life's a bitch, pull them panties to the side now
  (Pull them panties to the side now)
  I don't think I could find a way to make it on this earth [Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
  I'll prolly die anonymous,
   
  I'll prolly die with promises
  I'll prolly die walkin' back home from the candy house
  I'll prolly die because these colors are standin' out
  I'll prolly die because I ain't know Demarcus was snitchin'
  I'll prolly die at these house parties, fuckin' with bitches
  I'll prolly die from witnesses leavin' me falsed accused
  I'll prolly die from thinkin' that me and your hood was cool
  Or maybe die from pressin' the line, actin' too extra
  Or maybe die because these smokers are more than desperate
  I'll prolly die from one of these bats and blue badges
  Body-slammed on black and white paint, my bones snappin'
  Or maybe die from panic or die from bein' too lax
  Or die from waitin' on it, die 'cause I'm movin' too fast
  I'll prolly die tryna buy weed at the apartments
  I'll prolly die tryna defuse two homies arguin'
  I'll prolly die 'cause that's what you do when you're 17
  All worries in a hurry, I wish I controlled things
  [Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
  If I could smoke fear away, I'd roll that mothafucker up
  And then I'd take two puffs
  (
  I've been hungry all my life
  )
  I'm high now (Huh), I'm high now (Huh)
  I'm high now (Huh), I'm high now (Huh)
  Life's a bitch, pull them panties to the side now
  (Pull them panties to the side now)
  Now [Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
  When I was 27, I grew accustomed to more fear
  Accumulated 10 times over throughout the years
  My newfound life made all of me magnified
  How many accolades do I need to block denial?
  The shock value of my success put bolts in me
  All this money, is God playin' a joke on me?
  Is it for the moment, and will he see me as Job?
  Take it from me and leave me worse than I was before?
  At 27, my biggest fear was losin' it all
  Scared to spend money, had me sleepin' from hall to hall
  Scared to go back to Section 8 with my mama stressin'
  30 shows a month and I still won't buy me no Lexus
  What is an advisor? Somebody that's holdin' my checks
  Just to fuck me over and put my finances in debt?
  I read a case about Rihanna's accountant and wondered
  How did the Bad Girl feel when she looked at them numbers?
  The type of shit'll make me flip out and just kill somethin'
  Drill somethin', get ill and fill ratchets with a lil' somethin'
  I practiced runnin' from fear, guess I had some good luck
  At 27 years old, my biggest fear was bein' judged
  How they look at me reflect on myself, my family, my city
  What they say 'bout me reveal if my reputation would miss me
  What they see from me would trickle down generations in time
  What they hear from me would make 'em highlight my simplest lines
  [Verse 4: Kendrick Lamar]
  I'm talkin' fear, fear of losin' creativity
  I'm talkin' fear, fear of missin' out on you and me
  I'm talkin' fear, fear of losin' loyalty from pride
  'Cause my DNA won't let me involve in the light of God
  I'm talkin' fear, fear that my humbleness is gone
  I'm talkin' fear, fear that love ain't livin' here no more
  I'm talkin' fear, fear that it's wickedness or weakness
  Fear, whatever it is, both is distinctive
  Fear, what happens on Earth stays on Earth
  And I can't take these feelings with me, so hopefully, they disperse
  Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax
  Searchin' for resolutions until somebody get back
  Fear, what happens on Earth stays on Earth
  And I can't take these feelings with me, so hopefully they disperse
  Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax
  Wonderin' if I'm livin' through fear or livin' through rap
  Damn
  [Bridge 2: Bēkon]
  God damn you, God damn me
  God damn us, God damn we
  God damn us all
  [Outro: Carl Duckworth]
  Verse 2 says, "You only have I known of all the families of the Earth, therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities"
  So until we come back to these commandments
  Until you come back to these commandments
  We gonna feel this way, we gonna be under this curse
  Because He said He's gonna punish us
  The so-called Blacks, Hispanics, and Native American Indians
  Are the true children of Israel
  We are the Israelites, according to the Bible
  The children of Israel
  He's gonna punish us for our iniquities, for our disobedience
  Because we chose to follow other gods
  That man chastens his son, so the Lord, thy God, chasten thee
  So, just like you chasten your own son, He's gonna chasten you
  Because He loves you, so that's why we get chastised
  That's why we're in the position that we're in
  Until we come back to these laws, statutes, and commandments
  And do what the Lord says, these curses is gonna be upon us
  We gonna be at a lower state in this life that we live
  Here, in today, in the United States of America
  I love you, family, and I pray for you
  God bless you
  Shalom
