“I got to do better I got to do better I got to do Everything in my power to try to do what god would do Ride the tide don’t fight with the current that guided you Melt the ice round the furnace burnin’ inside of you I got to do better I got to do better I got to do better There’s nothing they can do that I can’t do better Better yet, there’s nothing I can do then I can’t do better Yeah I’m better (…)”
AB-SOUL, do better (2022)

Kendrick Lamar
This line encapsulates other concept of a good kid in a bad city, and it cuts into one of the most moral questions in human existence: Can good come from evil? The best part about the line, as is true of the best poetry, is that it doesn’t answer the question it asks. For Kendrick’s immediate purposes, he’s the flower and the city is the dark room. The question is: Can you trust him?
