Lamar, Kendrick - Heaven & Hell Lyrics
"My nigga, what it look like?"
[Kendrick Lamar]
Niggas hating, bitches hating, babies dying
Bullets flying, helicopters, police sirens, preachers lying
Burning buildings, AIDS victims, cancer killing, no cure
Oil spilling, turmoil, poverty-stricken
Police brutality kicking ass of us Africans, hostages in Afghanistan
Not to mention another prison, child molesting
Cow intestines, botox injection, earthquakes that's government testing
Secret society weapon, opium plant manifested
that turn to crack, then invest it amongst us blacks, just a method
to hold us back, great depression, amongst Iraq no direction
No google map, just a TEC for the soowoo
Swerving Isuzu, then blah-blah-blah, adolescents go cuckoo
These commercials keep us buying these cigarettes
Supermarkets fill up our liver with triumph, distinctive living with science
No place to live in, no Zion, see that's forbidden, we frying
"My nigga, what it look like?"
That's exactly what Hell look like, uh
[Chorus 2X: Alori Joh]
Tell it like it is, nigga
Tell it like it is, homeboy
Tell it like it is, nigga
Tell it like it is, tell 'em what's up
"My nigga, what it look like?"
[Kendrick Lamar]
Malcolm laughing, Martin laughing, Biggie spitting
'Pac is rapping, Gregory capping, people singing, bells is ringing
Children playing, angels praying, fourteen carat golden streets
Cali greens, red wine, potato yams, turkey legs
Calling every human being... [fades out]

Lamar, Kendrick Heaven & Hell Comments
definitely eminem status for this
Jesus is Messiah
Only if he made the heaven verse longer 🥱
I choose the bright side ☺️👍
The fade away effect again lol
It’s September 2019... and idk what brought me back to this song but I still know the words flawlessly
9 Years later this still hard asf
Beat crazy
This song is magic
no gu-gu map
as big as kendrick is and people still asleep on this.
That's it? This song kinda sucks
this is insane
Man i respect this channell, king lamar to the top...before he even got there
2 Esdras 4:21 For like as the ground is given unto the wood, and the sea to his floods: even so they that dwell upon the earth may understand nothing but that which is upon the earth: and he that dwelleth above the heavens may only understand the things that are above the height of the heavens.
This is why he cut it off because it’s above his understanding therefore he can’t describe it... he can only speak on his realm which is the world we live in now, and that is hell on earth!
He's definitely the GOAT! HAIL KENDRICK!
only true kendrick’s fans are still here
Ahhh. Back when Kendrick was mono tone, making special, special hip-hop. He's top radio for me now.
No Joke.
Ps Thank You.
Had to come back to this song 2018 anyone?
I'm a Kendrick fan to the fullest all of his music I know but why don't I know this song? this song is to powerful and I haven't heard it maybe cuz I was in prison when this sing came out but man this is good.
2018 🔥
How the hell have i never heard this before?
Why doesn't Kendrick make music like this anymore
Kendrick running dat schyt down the line!!!!!!
Hold on
The first verse is actually so sad and deep love this song almost she'd a tear
Lyricism at its finestt
he's is a future goat...top 10 ever
Maurice Smith he already top 5 ever
I made a remix of this with Big & Pac check it out
one of my favorite kdot tracks
My interpretation of when he fades away is that it’s a saying that one someone “Fades away” they die so when he dies that is how his heaven would look like (I also agree with everyone else’s everyone’s interpretation is not wrong or right including mine) ,thanks for hearing me out y’all
I miss the old Kendrick
That's what's up 👊🏾!
He cuts off the song during the heaven verse to convey the distance of heaven. You can hear small details of what lies in heaven but then it fades, leaving us here in hell. We want to get there while it’s always just out of reach, running away from us
This was the song that convinced me this man is special. This was the song that convinced me that this is no ordinary man but hip hop's new martyr, one of many of the new era to take the mantle from Lupe Fiasco and bring truth and enlightenment to the mainstream masses.
Still one of my favorites to this very day.
This is too dope....check me out when you can
🔥🔥🔥 $MOKIN💪💪
This is some real music ... exactly heaven is its own picture ... perspective is great on this kid !!
nostalgia af
tell em whats up
He must have sold his soul, cus dis is too much fire !!

RIH Alori Joh 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
King Izas Manu RIH AKA Rest In Heaven
King Izas Manu SMH man ik fucking sadly
Damn all these years and I'm just now hearing this for the first time?
KDOT is the ultimate shit
Some dumb ass people in society...who disliked this? like really?
Kendrick the only artist I know who can let a beat run, without lyrics, and you still listen.
The fuck you tal'bout?? You just don't know them songs...
turkey leg? say no more
Thanks everyone for watching! Can't believe I made this video 5 years ago. Look at him now! He blew up!
the fade out was meant to inspire you to pick up where he left off and infuse the song with your own vision of heaven no matter your belief's and hell is on earth so that's why he was able to describe "exactly what hell look like".
Why does the 2nd verse fade out wtf I can tell it doesn't finish there
Sean Wattsmoore So u can imagine heaven for yourself
because simply he cant describe heaven thats why it faded
finnaly getting the recognition it deserved. One of his realist
i hear ya.
Man this one is special.
It took me a month to figure out the second verse was heaven
Marcus Williams IV Do you mind checking out my music?

He went off!!
FarrisNoBueller Do you mind checking out my music?

Overly Dedicated
+Pain 115 everybody so sleep on this mixtape😒
Overly Dedicated
João Pereira it's a hidden track on tpab. it only plays if u are one of the Kendrick fans who doesn't know any of his music before good kid maad city.
I think the fading at the end is for you to imagine your on illustration of heaven and what it looks like.
My nigga we frying !
R.I.P to Orlando mass shooting victims. Nothing will change, we just gotta keep on trying to survive..
https://soundcloud.com/statictheemc/popped-viens-prod-mayor this song forreal gave me the strenght to make this song.
soooo fucking good
We're living in hell
God this song is so underrated.
i was just about to comment and say that😂
DistortedV12 what is it off of
God is good!

From Austin, TX :)
Part 1 to Untitled 01

Emsee1191 V Mick Jenkins!!!
"Or you might die" 😉 ~ Mick Jenkins
simple yet powerful
I think the fading shows that he's only got a glimpse of what's to come and doesn't know all of heaven's glory since he hasn't passed yet.
Exactly, he only knew hell
exactly
The Horse from 1964 Do you mind checking out my music?
Adon345 I can't figure out WHY the song faded out..
Damn... the only thing we know is hell... idk why but that hit deep af.
Beautiful poetry
The reason he fade away with heaven is so anyone can fill the list with what they like and what they love and what theyr own heaven is like...
Wow, that's amazing you changed my perspective.
he saying we living in hell while living but fixin but heaven he dont know exactly he not dead yet
Listen To Dreams Ft. Punch.. Changed Mine Completely
@Steff R. exactly
Call Me Ishak that and when he fades away (dies) that’s what his heaven would look like(Just what I think)
Real music
This shit is underrated and underappreciated
pure fire
so glad he finally blew up remember back when my boy minime showed me this song been hooked to kendrick ever since
Real Message Hip Hop. Thanks King Lamar. ^_^
One of my favorite throwback songs by K dot, I love how was able to describe the situations on Earth and compare it to hell also how he ended that last verse. Fading away on purpose so that the listener can think about what he said and image what they think heaven looks like...genius
WHy didn't the heaven verse go on? :(
you're supposed to use your imagination
At the end he's rapping about heaven and its fading away so it means heaven is ongoing...my opinion at least..
@Blake Prewitt Nice dude. Thats a really good theory.
+iAmDusti thanks man
Good thoughts, I was thinking maybe it kept going so people could sing their own vision of heaven
that's what I thought, plus he mentions biggie, pac, mlk and Malcolm, just another hint at it
+Blake Prewitt bro that was deep, good point
Those 81 dickheads who disliked the song are going to hell. God Bless!!
Lmfao 😂😂😂
oooh shit! Bars
Alori Joh's voice puts the cherry on the cake. Her voice is just (*_*) R.I.P :'(
who is he talking about when he saying Gregory?
Actually his tongue is moving faster than my eyes..I cant even follow his lyrics
nice vid man. peaceful with the star wars layout
Rip Alori Joh 🙏
