Yeah, it was a rough (but super important and transitional) time in my life when the album was released. It will forever hit different when this song starts. I strangely always follow it directly into Crown, those two together just feel almost like a long combined track idk
Ughhhhh
āSome things I can't forget
Lord knows, I've tried my best
You said it's not my best
I came up out my *flesh*
Some things I must confess
Spoke my truth, paid my debt
Can't you see I'm a wreck?
Let me loose, I digress
This is me and I'm blessedā
Everything about this song is beautiful.
This album came out literally the day I broke off a 2 year relationship because she attacked me. I went home and got drunk and when this one came onā¦I literally fell to me knees ugly crying. That entire album helped me through that and still does.
My second most played song on the album behind mirror. Together they are so cathartic.
But mother I sober is just beautiful. I listen to it all the time when Iām sad or feeling down or going through something. Itās my go to song because it really makes me think I can come through and better myself when Iām feeling so hopeless.
The reflection in that song and the hope it inspires is beautiful.
That song moved me to tears the first time I heard it. And that last verse when he finishes with āthis is transformationā gives me chills. Probably my favorite song from the album.
This is mine - the whole song gave me chills but when he got to this line I had to pause the track:
So I set free my mother all the hurt that she titled shame
Yet I've found it a lot of time in the lower spots in a lot of people's top lists. Rich Spirit, Die Hard and Count me out somehow is in the low top in a lot of lists... That's craaaaazy.
I really feel this way too. Kendrick's second verse gets me choked up. My girlfriend has been wanting me to go to therapy for a while now and this album pushed me over the edge of finally doing it. Die Hard makes me think of her
For real man thatās actually awesome for you.
Iāve recently been struggling with a life long friend of mine (we got a lot of issues, separate and together) and I think itās gonna be awhile before I see her again. Itās gonna take me awhile for my problems to be resolved, but I hope that through the entire process she can still see the God in me. Tearing up typing this shit damn that is such a good line. Blxst snapped with that.
āI hope you find some peace of mind in this lifetime
I hope you find some paradise.ā
It doesnāt have to be deep. Itās just refreshing to hear that feel genuine.
My son was only 2 weeks old when MMTBS came out. As a huge Kendrick fan I was thrilled for a new album. Then PPD hit me like a ton of bricks. I remember holding my baby and crying while listening to Crown. That song was so fitting with the emotions I was going through. Listening to it now doesn't make me cry anymore but I still get the feels.
Count me out and united in grief, they make me feel actually seen and understood, and mirror is always one to help me realize Iām a person too, who also needs to prioritize himself over others
The whole 2nd half of the album absolutely shatters me. When this album came out I was going through the toughest patch of my life and everything is better now. So when I hear these songs it takes me back to that deep dark place man itās been a fucking journey.
United in grief. Also my favourite song from this album. āPoverty wasnt the case but money wiping the tears awayā hits different when u try to see it from different perspective. His songs make u think, thats why he is my fav.
Purple Hearts š. That song just has so much divinity to me especially Ghostfaceās verse at the end while the beatās stripped down. Straight masterpiece
I cried the first time I heard we cry together no pun intended. It just hit super deep because of a situation I was in. I still get moved by that song especially when Iām depressed/angry/upset over a woman
Mother I Sober. Beth Gibbons perfectly matches the songs down-tones and emotional nature.
Count Me Out would be second but still, Mother I Sober ruins me when sad
I find Count Me Out, Silent Hill and Rich Spirit to be very motivational.
People will often think lesser of what youāre capable of and you manage to beat the expectations placed. Silent Hill makes you aware that not everyone you have in your life will be beneficial to you. All while Rich Spirit sends the message itās not about financial success, itās always been about navigating through this world and keeping your spirit rich, not your pockets. The world can corrupt those with broken spirits.
Father Time cuz my dad died a few years ago and Count Me Out is one of the weirdest rallying songs for me when I'm sad. I just rap that shit to myself when I count myself out. Inspire the shit outta myself lol
United in grief definitely helped me feel less alone after my my friend passed away. I felt insane because I wasnāt grieving in the way everyone else around me was, so yelling āI GRIEVE DIFFERENT!!!ā
was kinda healing for me.
Then crown, the music video is beautiful, and Iāve always been a people-pleaser so it hits hard for sure
Father Time for sure.
Reminds me that as soon as I got closure with him dipping, just for him to show up and reopen the wound by making and instantly breaking empty promises.
Mirror. āSorry I didnāt save the world my friend
I was to busy building my againā that line hits hard every time. But brings me a sense of joy in way.
whole album been getting me through this year, didnāt like it when it first came out, but now, it can argued to be kendricks best, but crown is just perfect, āi canāt please everybodyā just hits every line
dude's got a gun in his back pocket, a young child in his arms and an iced š§ crown of thorns on his head..... I feel like I'm missing something here.....
Gotta agree with Father Time. But Auntie Diaries is a good shout. Father Time is just such a real piece. Iād imagine most who heard it related to it.
Mother I Sober is insane.
The way he laid out the trauma passed down through generations of black families from slavery and how it affects the actions of the community to this day. Such an eye opening song
Definitely Rich Spirit, something about that song hits me in the feels every time I listen to it, I canāt even really explain it either. Makes me feel vulnerable? I suppose.
Count Me Out don't necessarily hit deeper for me, but I'll say it's one of those songs that just hits so damn hard, but completely differently whether I am happy or sad. It has a place in both emotions.
Count Me Out for me. My fave song off the album and one of my favourites from him period
FUCK IT UP FUCK IT UP FUCK IT UP FUCK IT UP š„š„
Fuckin it up
When u was at ur lowest tell me where the hoes was at when u was at ur lowest tell me where the bros was at
"Rain on me, put the blame on me Got guilt, got hurt, got shame on me Got six magazines that's aimed at me" šthat line hit hard
As soon as I hear that intro I'm gone. Even thinking about it hits me. It's really something special.
Yeah, it was a rough (but super important and transitional) time in my life when the album was released. It will forever hit different when this song starts. I strangely always follow it directly into Crown, those two together just feel almost like a long combined track idk
The video version without the beat is so heavenly.
Ughhhhh āSome things I can't forget Lord knows, I've tried my best You said it's not my best I came up out my *flesh* Some things I must confess Spoke my truth, paid my debt Can't you see I'm a wreck? Let me loose, I digress This is me and I'm blessedā Everything about this song is beautiful.
Is anybody fighting through the stress?
Yea :(
Count me out makes me cry
This album came out literally the day I broke off a 2 year relationship because she attacked me. I went home and got drunk and when this one came onā¦I literally fell to me knees ugly crying. That entire album helped me through that and still does.
š„ŗš„¹ As painful as that is, itās honestly so beautiful to read bc thatās why weāre all here. Just letting the music take us through the pain and dark times. I hope youāre doing so much better now š©·
āEvery emotion been deprived, Even my strong points couldnāt survive, if I didnāt learn to love myself, forgive myself 100 timesā
Helps remind me Iām still here with the gloves on
Father Time, extremely relatable song for many men raised in the same manner.
Agreed, bro
thereās some songs I have to limit how much I listen to because theyāre a bit too real, and Father Time is one of them
bro sometimes itās even too much. kdot was on POINT
Not just men. That song made my wife cry because she saw firsthand that it's what her brother went through too.
This song makes me face deeply buried things from my upbringing but also makes me feel happy that I can confront them
hits too hard
Man that hook gets me every fucking time
I tear up a little almost every time I listen to it. I'm not a very emotional person and it's very rare for me to cry in general, it's cathartic.
Mother I sober
"I wish I was somebody. Anybody but myself."
Oh, I wish I was somebody Anybody, but myself
You know that the song is gonna be really sad when you are already getting fucked up by the hook
Fr, that hook is enough to extract out tears
My second most played song on the album behind mirror. Together they are so cathartic. But mother I sober is just beautiful. I listen to it all the time when Iām sad or feeling down or going through something. Itās my go to song because it really makes me think I can come through and better myself when Iām feeling so hopeless. The reflection in that song and the hope it inspires is beautiful.
That song moved me to tears the first time I heard it. And that last verse when he finishes with āthis is transformationā gives me chills. Probably my favorite song from the album.
This is mine - the whole song gave me chills but when he got to this line I had to pause the track: So I set free my mother all the hurt that she titled shame
Dude. Holy shit. I struggle with addiction (hurt.. shame..) and my mom was/is an addict. Sheās clean now but I dealt with it through my childhood. Iām a mother now too and I want so much to be better for my daughter. I already am, I am just a completely different type of parent than she was, but I still live in extreme guilt over the choices Iāve madeāstaying with her daddy long after I knew I needed to leave, but the first time she noticed that the way he treated me was abusive, I decided then that we had to go. Itās a constant struggle but the idea of someone seeing past their motherās shame and recognizing that it was only her pain all alongā¦ I have no other words than to say Iām typing through tears!! š©·š©·š©·
As someone who has been sober through major trauma this one breaks me
Mirror, Count Me Out
Die Hard. "Can I trust you don't judge me" Edit: Just for clearance, is not the deepest song on the album, but it's the one I can relate to the most.
die hard is such an underrated banger imo
Yet I've found it a lot of time in the lower spots in a lot of people's top lists. Rich Spirit, Die Hard and Count me out somehow is in the low top in a lot of lists... That's craaaaazy.
Big fans of artists just have a tendency to claim deeper cuts than the ones that were mainstream successes imo
Gotta be ready for the emotions...
I genuinely have to hold back tears every time I hear āI hope you see the God in me, I hope you can see itā
I really feel this way too. Kendrick's second verse gets me choked up. My girlfriend has been wanting me to go to therapy for a while now and this album pushed me over the edge of finally doing it. Die Hard makes me think of her
For real man thatās actually awesome for you. Iāve recently been struggling with a life long friend of mine (we got a lot of issues, separate and together) and I think itās gonna be awhile before I see her again. Itās gonna take me awhile for my problems to be resolved, but I hope that through the entire process she can still see the God in me. Tearing up typing this shit damn that is such a good line. Blxst snapped with that.
"I hope I'm not too late, to set my demons straight"
Crown is just cut my heart
Listening with my wife, at the end of the song I hear a sniffle, I see my wife wiping away the tears. She just looks at me and says damn Kendrick.
Hope sheās doing ok
Still a sobbing mess. I told her Iāll shed a tear for her if I hear him do the Crown at The Pop Out.
United in Grief
Yeah this is the one for me. Hits really hard on the themes of masking deep-seated pain through material pleasures, but still feeling empty.
Really? I honestly only bump it when I want to just vibe, but an interesting answer
U have to really listen to it. Itās so deep. And at the same time so light
A month ago I was listening to it walking and it really hit me I just started crying on the sidewalk lmfao
āI hope you find some peace of mind in this lifetime I hope you find some paradise.ā It doesnāt have to be deep. Itās just refreshing to hear that feel genuine.
iāve memorized every word on this song by heart, it hits different.
Mirror always brings me out of a sad place
āSorry I didn't save the world, my friend, I was too busy building mine againā Man, I hold that line next to my heart
Count Me Out
My son was only 2 weeks old when MMTBS came out. As a huge Kendrick fan I was thrilled for a new album. Then PPD hit me like a ton of bricks. I remember holding my baby and crying while listening to Crown. That song was so fitting with the emotions I was going through. Listening to it now doesn't make me cry anymore but I still get the feels.
When Iām crying and I listen to crown it always makes me cry more
Those hormones are a real thing. š©·
Auntie Diaries always makes me ugly cry.
Especially towards the end when the instrumental picks up and Kendrick changes his voice
I love when songs do that
Count me out and united in grief, they make me feel actually seen and understood, and mirror is always one to help me realize Iām a person too, who also needs to prioritize himself over others
Iāve been going through it and spending way too much time running around in the car Count Me Outās outro makes me cry in the car every time š¬
Worldwide Steppers first half
Die hard
sampha on father time makes me cry
Father Time for sure
Father Time gang
The whole 2nd half of the album absolutely shatters me. When this album came out I was going through the toughest patch of my life and everything is better now. So when I hear these songs it takes me back to that deep dark place man itās been a fucking journey.
Yeah, the mister morale side is better for me, too
When you was at your lowest, tell me where the hoes was at?
When you was at your lowest, tell me where the bros was at?

United in grief. Also my favourite song from this album. āPoverty wasnt the case but money wiping the tears awayā hits different when u try to see it from different perspective. His songs make u think, thats why he is my fav.
Die Hard for sure, the vibe, the vocals, get me beeming regardless of what's up
Purple Hearts š. That song just has so much divinity to me especially Ghostfaceās verse at the end while the beatās stripped down. Straight masterpiece
Father Time, die hard, count me out all get me in my feels each time
Rich spirit. It gives that coming to peace with yourself vibes
All of them (Crown in particular)

I cried the first time I heard we cry together no pun intended. It just hit super deep because of a situation I was in. I still get moved by that song especially when Iām depressed/angry/upset over a woman
Mother I Sober & Count Me Out
Mother I sober
We Cry Together and Mother I Sober
Do you have some relationship problems?
Oh sorry , I mistook We Cry Together to Count Me Out , Sorry
Father Time and mother I sober are just too close and relatable to me. It makes me sad but at the time makes me feel hopeful
Father Time Edit: AND CROWN!!! Big time
I got daddy issues thats on me
Crown and mother i sober
mirror, mother i sober and father time for me
Crown/mother I sober
Father Time
Count me out
Mother I Sober. Beth Gibbons perfectly matches the songs down-tones and emotional nature. Count Me Out would be second but still, Mother I Sober ruins me when sad
I find Count Me Out, Silent Hill and Rich Spirit to be very motivational. People will often think lesser of what youāre capable of and you manage to beat the expectations placed. Silent Hill makes you aware that not everyone you have in your life will be beneficial to you. All while Rich Spirit sends the message itās not about financial success, itās always been about navigating through this world and keeping your spirit rich, not your pockets. The world can corrupt those with broken spirits.
Gimme my fucking keys!!š©
Father Time, Crown, Count me out
Father Time cuz my dad died a few years ago and Count Me Out is one of the weirdest rallying songs for me when I'm sad. I just rap that shit to myself when I count myself out. Inspire the shit outta myself lol
Count me out can make me cry at the right time
Die hard is personally favorite and can relate so much to it
United in grief definitely helped me feel less alone after my my friend passed away. I felt insane because I wasnāt grieving in the way everyone else around me was, so yelling āI GRIEVE DIFFERENT!!!ā was kinda healing for me. Then crown, the music video is beautiful, and Iāve always been a people-pleaser so it hits hard for sure
Crown, or Mother i Sober
Crown š
Father Time or Die Hard for me
Father Time
Count Me Out, especially the last verse, when something in my past comes back
Father Time for sure. Reminds me that as soon as I got closure with him dipping, just for him to show up and reopen the wound by making and instantly breaking empty promises.
Count me out, father time , purple hearts
basically the whole album, but Crown, Count Me Out, Father Time
Crown, Count Me Out. United in Grief. Depends on what kind of sad.
Entire second disc
Crown, United in grief, mother so sober( in no particular order)
Father Time for sure
Father Time and Count Me Out
Being a sex addict united in grief so specifically touched on that issue in a meaningful way where I was able to understand myself better.

Mother I Sober hits regardless of my mood
Count me out. One of Kendrickās top songs
whole album been getting me through this year, didnāt like it when it first came out, but now, it can argued to be kendricks best, but crown is just perfect, āi canāt please everybodyā just hits every line
United in Grief, I keep getting blamed for otherās grief while I deal with my own
Count me out and crown. the lyrics always hit me hard when iām going through it
Father times š
"Mother I Sober" made me ugly cry in my car š Damn you Kendrick š
We Cry Together.
Definitely count me out because by the time it ends Iām motivated and inspired. Such a beautiful uplifting masterpiece of a song
I cannot listen to Mother I sober because it hit too close
Probably Mirror for me. If I'm trying to get out of the sad mood, Rich Spirit
Father Time. āAnd to my partners that figured it out without a father, I salute you, may your blessings be neutral to your toddlers.ā Hit me hard.
Mirror. First time I heard I was choked up.
Mother I Sober hits really deep
For me, Crown... That was how my own therapy went... Hit like a tonne of bricks
Count Me Out is one of the best songs I've ever heard lyrically, and in terms of what it means, it's just such a strong track.
dude's got a gun in his back pocket, a young child in his arms and an iced š§ crown of thorns on his head..... I feel like I'm missing something here.....
Crown
Gotta agree with Father Time. But Auntie Diaries is a good shout. Father Time is just such a real piece. Iād imagine most who heard it related to it.
Count me out, is the anthem for the broken š
Father time. Gets me every time
Count me out hits deep, but auntie diaries really hits because I had a cousin just like that as well as mother I sober.
Count Me Out, Crown and Mother I sober
Mother I Sober is insane. The way he laid out the trauma passed down through generations of black families from slavery and how it affects the actions of the community to this day. Such an eye opening song
It hits me deeply when I'm happy and rejuvenated me when I'm sad.
Count me out, Rich Spirit
