I loved the production and the message in this song. The rap and the hooks felt really interesting and worth the listen. Kendrick has brought in a new perspective to his songs, but slightly similar to his previous records. The rhythm felt smooth and simple, however I wished that there were some better hi-hats and snares which would have taken the song to another level.

Bbm You hate my people, your plan is to terminate my culture Bbm You fuckin' (?) I want you to recognize I'm a proud monkey Bbm You vandalize my perception but can't take style from me Bbm And this is more than confession Bbm I mean I might just press the button so you know my discretion Bbm I'm guardin' my feelin's, I know that you feel it Bbm You sabotaged my community, makin' a killin' Bbm You made me a killer, emancipation of a real nigga [BRIDGE] Bbm The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice Bbm The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice Bbm The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice Bbm The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice Bbm The blacker the berry, the bigger I shoot Bbm F# I said treat me like a slave, call me black Bbm Ebm (?), call me black Bbm F# My master said put me in a chain, call me black Ebm I'm marginal, big old chain full of rocks Bbm F# (?) whip (?)

[VERSE] Bbm I'm the biggest hypocrite in 2015 Bbm Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean Bbm I mean it's evident I'm irrelevant to society Bbm That's what you're telling me, penitentiary would only hire me Bbm Curse me till I'm dead Bbm Church me with your fake prophesyzing that Bbm I'mma be another slave in my head Bbm Institutionalize my (?) in lies Bbm Reciprocation of freedom only live in your eyes Bbm You hate me don't you? Bbm I know you hate me just as much as you hate yourself Bbm Jealous of my wisdom and cards I dealt Bbm Watchin' me as I pull up, fill up my tank then peel out Bbm Muscle cars like pull ups, show you what these big wheels bout Bbm I'm black and successful, this black man meant to be special Bbm CAT scans on my radar bitch, how can I help you? Bbm How can I tell you that I'm making a killin'? Bbm You made me a killer, emancipation of a real nigga [BRIDGE] Bbm The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice Bbm The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice Bbm The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice Bbm The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice Bbm The blacker the berry, the bigger I shoot Bbm F# I said treat me like a slave, call me black Bbm Ebm (?), call me black Bbm F# My master said put me in a chain, call me black Ebm I'm marginal, big old chain full of rocks Bbm F# (?) whip (?) F# Ebm But all we have is big whips on the block Bbm F# (?) goons (?), call me black Ebm Remember this, every rap star from the block (?) [VERSE] Bbm I'm the biggest hypocrite in 2015 Bbm When I finish this if you listenin' I'm sure you will agree Bbm This plot is bigger than me, it's generational hatred Bbm It's genocism, it's grimy, little justification Bbm I'm African-American, I'm African Bbm I'm black as the heart of a fuckin' Aryan Bbm I'm black as the name of Tyrone and Dareous Bbm Excuse my French but fuck you, fuck ya'll Bbm That's as blunt as it gets Bbm I know you hate me, don't you?
