@@gothamcitygoon2491 no they aren't, album notes credit a bunch of people as part of the choir for track 10, and Denise Stoudmire as the "choir arranger"
This song is one of the biggest reason, why he’s on different level than the other rappers. He’s an artist, not just a rapper. His music is food for soul
FUN FACT: The tap dancing you hear at the end was performed and recorded by Kendrick Lamar. He rented out an entire warehouse just to perform that snippet. The full recording is over 45 mins long and was Kendrick’s first actual performance in tap shoes. He hired a dance teacher and practiced for 6 months before recording.
he's speaking from a place of depression when he says "I love when you count me out." Solitude, wanting to be alone with your mind and your thoughts, sometimes even feeling unworthy to be among people. You love being counted out because it ACTS as confirmation of your unworthiness and what you believe, Only a person who's been there truly understands..
perhaps its referring to a realization that noone understands him and he prefers when people give him space because he is on another level of consciousness to others
IMO this is easily the best song in the album for multiple reasons. It's change up in the beginning and the end creates an enticing effect on the listener to listen to everything in between. The lyrics themselves are a beautifully written masterpiece telling a story of strength, pain, vulnerability, and change. All while giving you an intense "hype up" throughout the song with the lyrics and drop of "fuck it up fuck it fuck it up.." keeping the listener engaged and uplifted. The beat is that perfect blend of melodic nuance and deep hip hop beats and bass that we all come to love. Resulting in a great range of delivery tactics which Kendrick takes full advantage of. Then the ending change up is just the icing on the cake with how, after the entirety of the song left you feeling energized and thoughtful, these last lyrics hit home even more. Giving something almost every human can relate to in one line or another the ending of the song is a message to the listeners, saying "we see you, we see you fighting and we see you trying" and that's why the beat slowly fades out to allow you to focus on just the message he's portraying to you. This song is just an absolute BANGER and i cannot wait to see the crowd explode when he performs this live
This song more than resonates with me right now, it's straight up harmonizing. might be same for me tbh, kendrick has a way of tapping into your goddamn soul And obviously him bearing his would be like this lmao
Mr. Moral & The Big Steppers will forever be one of my favorite Kendrick Lamar albums as i feel it touches personal problems and showing self improvement and self forgiveness which is not casually tackled by any other artist
This song means a lot to a quitter like me who has come to regret so many decisions. But I'm currently pursuing a dream I'm really passionate about and I'm sticking this one out. I love when that inner quitter counts me out. It's me against me and imma win against that side of me.
@Asrovert. You are not a quiter my bro. You dreams matter. We must find our inner superhero and that shit is hard. Take it from someone who was thinking about suicide the other day not that I would do it. Its a very selfish act. Your greatestnes will come from within. We all have greatestnes within. Peace.
The definition of an “ ARTIST “ . Kendrick Lamar is so dope. I can't stop watching this track again and again. I am sure he will be #1 soon due to 💖 a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖
I was in a toxic marriage for 13 years this album dropped Friday, I moved out Sunday! This song in particular mixed with We Cry Together changed my life. Say what you will this album will be an all time #1 for me and I’ve fucked with Kendrick the lonnnng way!!! ❤️ love you KL!
This song is why Kendrick is such a different generational artist. The end of the track nearly brought my to tears. Miss Regret, I think I’m better off alone. This is me and I’m blessed. Thank you Kenny.

dude i feel like kendrick went to therapy, realized how valuable it was and decided to make his therapy sessions into music. Because to me, that's what its felt like

@@elusivegaming3968 fr. I sometimes find it hard to process lyrics the first time especially when there's so much to digest from Kendrick. These lyrics have great meaning
@@chaitanyasharma2680 one thing that's beautiful about life is that no matter who you are and what you've done, someone is always gonna think you're lame or cringe or weird. So do what you love and live life on your own terms. Take this info how you will, stay a loser or grow up it's your choice.
After seeing him perform this song live in South Africa and how everyone was just in awe and couldn't even scream but stand and just listen to this greatness, I haven't stopped listening to this song ever since.
When this song came out earlier this year, I was in such a bad place in life & would just sit in my car, crying my eyes out while this played on repeat for literally hours. Now 2022 is almost over, things are better than ever & I’m the happiest I’ve been & still, I sit in my car listening to this on repeat & still crying my eyes out. Except now, I have the biggest smile on my face. To anyone reading this that’s going through it, things will get better. All you have to is keep moving forward. Keep pushing, keep trying. One day at a time. You can do it.
@@hahadll1 United in Grief was originally called "Therapy Session #9" as if the entirety of Disc 1 is a session and Disc 2 is the next one where the breakthrough happens
Im laughing but...what I really want to say is that God is with Kendrick. Kendrick has a way of making music that never ends in giving new meaning. Which is hard to do. Very hard. J Cole could hear this song and feel completely blown away, because he experienced what Kendrick said at that line.
Listening to the album gives me the fucking chills, the emotions that he transfer from track to track, ,self therapy, self awareness, I fucking love it!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Always look forward and think about the good things in life try not to think of sad terrible things from the past i know it can be hard but be strong for yourself not anybody else and i believe anytime in the future your life can get better but you can't just want it but instead believe it try to actually do things that will 100% not make you sad or mad at anytime stay away from negativity and block out those thoughts with positive one's even if it seems impossible it can be done
This album is one that people will look at in 10 years and think, "Holy shit, how the fuck have I not heard this song before? It's so fucking good". People weren't ready for this yet, but Kendrick knew we needed it.
After a full week of listening and digesting.. I can say this is the one. My favorite song on the album. One of my favorite songs from kendrick. One of my favorite tracks ever. Wow.. this one is so powerful!
I'm just now listening to the album. I wanted to let it sit and let everyone go bananas for a while and then dive in. Every song has someone saying *this* is the best track on the album. And everyone of ya'll might be right.
“ I care too much, wanna share too much In my head too much, I shut down too I aint there too much, Im a complex soul They layered me up, then broke me down And moralities dust, I lack in trust” Literally described the steps to us isolating ourselves
@@rtoriq facts. Same thing happened with TPAB when it was shit on by everyone that wanted GKMC 2.0. That's another reason why Kendrick is good; he doesn't recycle formulas that worked before. He's always trying something new and different because he constantly evolves as an artist.
This shit hits my soul and hurts my heart. This song makes me cry almost every time I hear it. He says when you was at your lowest times tell me where the hoes was at, when you was at your lowest time tell me where the bros was at. I don’t know, like I said, it hits my soul and hurts my heart. If I ever have money again, I’m buying this album. I know Kendrick Lamar didn’t write this for me, but it feels like he sees me, even though he doesn’t even know me.
It’s fun to think of a collective consciousness, but really that does the same thing as thoughts and prayers on Facebook. If we were a collective consciousness, Kendrick Lamar wouldn’t ever have to write a song, because everybody who’s life his music would ever touch would know the music as soon as he had an inkling of the song. Creators don’t create for me, they create to pay the bills and take care of their loved ones. If I benefit, it’s purely coincidental. That’s why I gotta pay for the merch, and his family gets it for free if they want. I dig the song, but I’m never gonna reap any rewards from it that I never put into it first.
@@JoseGonzalez-ty7dd plus, does anybody really want to live in a hive mind? If someone you don’t like masturbates about you, would you be happy even knowing it happened?
It feels like he see's you because the sound he's created in this song is so poignant and accurate to the feelings he speaks of in it. I don't know how to describe it other than it turned my entire last year of grief and strife and struggle into a 3 minute confrontation with myself. Every verse followed my own rhythm of thoughts to myself down to the BEAT. To hear someone feel the exact same way i have been is what i really believe it means to be truly, FULLY *seen*, to know for a fact that someone else out there knows how hard it's been. It instills a lot of hope
Proving to already be as good as To Pimp A Butterfly & DAMN. Those 5 years were definitely worth it. If Mr Morales & The Big Steppers don't get album of the year, it'll be unforgivable.
@@gloku7912 everybody will eventually start to see how amazing this album is , it’ll surely grow overtime , especially when kendrick drops music vids for them itll bring more meaning and depth to the music💯
For anyone who would give as fuck, this song is one of the few reasons I'm holding on. I was living fast and reckless using what I've been through to do whatever I wanted and hurt everyone that loved me in the process. I was caught in a cloud of endless sex and marijuana with self destructive tendencies to match. If you are reading this and related in any way, I love you and believe in you and your journey to wellness. Make the change for yourself because your best version is on the other side....Jah
Kendrick just entered a league of his own with this album....its beyond any other rappers! He's left the culture chasing rappers to fight for crumbs, while writes honest poems with the deepest lyrics!
Truth is near we need to be more open love is real the world is in chaos kyz there's no understanding about alot of things shh we need to talk about we aren't
you said a mouth full. This album is monumental in a sneaky way, its overlooked by people who claim they love music, but its obvious that they are deluded by the onslaught of trap beats and Drake songs. Kendrick has left the stratosphere with this album. Every song is a monument.
@@theconsciousobserver6829 I'm not sure they're deluded tbh, I just think this album deals with alot of things people aren't ready to deal with. At a time where everyone seems to be competing to be the next social media star he drops N95
@@Kemist94 competing to be a social media star is a delusion is it not? Don't try to stand tall on the back of my comment, just make your comment and stand on that.
@@kennyhardy1884 A classic doesn't happen over night and there's still some people listening to the album with mixed reactions. It happened with his older albums. They were never appreciated in 2013 enough until a few years later (opinion)

Its the harderst times in my life rn and the beginning of that song feels like church singing and Kendricks rapping feels like a bro hug from an older brother or uncle while telling me that its all gonna be over and I be all good. Im here just to thank you for this blessing of a song....You gave me so much relief with that joint I even don't know how to thank you...and thats not the first time your music does something like that to me. Your music heals man!! God bless you!!! I know we be allright!!! Thanks to you brother!!!! 🙌 I wish the best for you just how you wish it for us!!!
I love listening to Kendrick. He makes me feel like we’re normal. My mistakes make me Human. My flaws make me Human. Kendrick makes me want to be better for myself. This is my favourite track along with Father Time. I think I’ve been counted out for so long I’ve just started to release the pain thru my well-being..
U absolutely right brother. I thogut the best album in history was something from Michael Jackson or 2pac or some like Dat. I heard this album like 18 times already and I'm still crying. I'm still finding new meanings and I think I'm not old and wise enough to understand everything now. Kendrick is on a level with Leonardo Davinci and Shakespeare.
@@fabiano5956 Definitely a masterpiece album worthy o discussions from now and beyond. Kendrick has succeeded in making a timeless album that will age very well much like his previous projects. This one just hits harder than the others. I had to stream the project many more times to take in everything he's saying. He delivered a nice jewel to treasure. 💪🏾
I remember when people hated on TPAB.. then in a month it was a classic.. Listen to the message, enjoy the production, take in the lyrics. Kendrick needed an album like this, and I loved it. Excited for future ones :)
