Kendrick Lamar's mixtape,
Overly Dedicated.The opening sound from this track is from a
Dash Show Interview.Like in the
previous Heart Part, he talked about a lot of topics. A couple of main ones is firstly saying that disses and grudges is stupid when there are people dying, and he said his uncle told him the same thing. Secondly, similar to
The Heart Part.1 he talks about the future and his dreams."I pray these bars get farther than Compton""Gotta keep it pushingCan't let the government tell me how my future looking""Never will I surrenderI been a warrior when I came out my mom's placenta"He mentioned how he came up with this track in a
2017 Rolling Stone interview."In 2010, you recorded “The Heart Pt. 2,” which was a breakthrough in its emotional honesty. How did that happen?I remember saying to myself, “I just wanna show a spew of emotion on a record. I don’t care how long the bars are, but people are literally gonna have to feel me.” I told myself that if I can’t connect that way, then it ain’t no point in me just putting a bunch of good words together. So that spaz-out toward the end, where I just choke up and lose my breath – I wanna keep all that."This series as of 2025 has 6 parts in the series.
