Song meaning of King's Dead by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future & James Blake

Ah, King's Dead. The perfect song for all those posers out there who claim they're wild and tough when they really just visited a rough neighborhood once on vacation. Kendrick Lamar sets the record straight with his powerful chorus, "Miss me with that bullshit." He knows the realness when he sees it. Jay Rock comes in with his own verse, talking about his boss status and his readiness to take on anything. Future also chimes in, bragging about his expensive cars and wrist bling, and confessing to having relations with someone else's baby mama (classy). And what's with that bridge? "Slob on me knob, pass me some syrup, f*** me in the car." I guess that's what happens when you mix too much cough syrup with your raps. Kendrick Lamar's second verse takes a darker turn, with lyrics about the emptiness of fast cars and money and his struggles with disability. But then he brings it all back to the Black Panther, King Killmonger, declaring himself not to be anyone's servant, but a ruler in his own right. All hail King Kendrick, the true king of rap.
