Kendrick positions himself as a Hip Hop Highlander preparing himself for battle. He realizes the gravity of the situation and is going through the rituals that will allow him to be ready to take his opponent’s head off. There can be only one.
God, my confession is yours, but
Who am I if I don't go to war?
-
There's opportunity when livin' with loss
I discover myself when I fall short
-
Raise my hands to a fallen sky, I fantasize
Me jumpin' planets immortalized
-
Timid soul, stare in the mirror, askin' where I was from
Often, I know this type of power is gon' cost
-
I'm sorry that I live a boring life, I love peace
But war ready if the world is ready to see you bleed
