*¹：“王者的血脈”要講到上一張專輯《美國蝴蝶夢》中，Kendrick將英語中帶有強烈種族意味的單詞“niggas”取其諧音、變換為衣索比亞語言中的“Negus”，意思為國王、皇帝、統治者的意思。如此一來，黑膚色在美國不再是過去“黑奴”的記號，而是承繼非洲大陸王室的、令人驕傲的血統。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiKZFeyxFE

*²：原文Paula就是Kendrick的母親Paula Oliver，這張專輯後面的其他歌曲她還會再登場。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lx1Nso8eP

*³：這邊講到很多犯罪活動，這要回到Kendrick的出身背景，加州康普頓，是個犯罪率相當高的地方，幫派惡鬥的情形相當多，但同時也是嘻哈音樂的重鎮之一。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPiuep5mKv

*⁴：這句話出自Fox電視台名嘴Geraldo Rivera對Kendrick表演的評論（也就是上一首BLOOD.中瞎扯亂評的人們其中之一）。這句話實在叫人笑掉大牙，嘻哈原意正是要讓那些受到困擾的青少年用他們的文化與藝術表達自己，進而保護他們、免受犯罪環境影響，到底何來傷害？所以在第二段直接罵了，說這些老白男的DNA才令人作嘔，而黑人的DNA無法模仿、剽竊——這又可以帶到白人一直以優勢地位染指了黑人在音樂方面的成就。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FKhbI8kRk

*⁵：這裡用了《出埃及記》中，上帝向埃及降下十災的典故，第九災為黑暗之災、第十災則是長子之死。DAMN.中用了很多聖經的典故，之後可以一一細說。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRREoc3tiA

　　講這首歌之前，先大喊“GIMME SOME GANJA!”，在這裡聽者就可以感覺到血脈賁張、隨時要握緊拳頭揍死人的感覺——這是Wickedness？還是Weakness呢？556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbc1aoWlJy

　　實在不得不佩服Kendrick Lamar作為詞人的才華，染色體有23對，這首歌也剛好講到了23樣東西在DNA裡，裡面有好的、也有壞的，但那都是建構、造就他（與他黑人同胞）的一切。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFele4YsbM

　　他的詞很像詩，word play會有一字多義的狀況、或是一些比喻上需要跳幾步思考才能reach到他的意思。例如這裡的用的Matrix（母體），就是指電影《駭客任務》的母體，而在歌詞中衍伸為我們居住的、所建構的社會，Kendrick在暗示他在其中活的像個救世主的含義。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbG3HY6dnT

　　再說說MV，這裡Kendrick搖身一變成為「功夫肯尼」，看到這裡真的莫名好笑，有趣的是同樣在MV飾演警探的唐奇鐸，也在電影《尖峰時刻2》中同樣飾演一位身穿功夫裝、名叫“肯尼”的角色。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamZCbosFxA

　　這首我們看到主角抵禦外侮，並用DNA使眾人團結抗爭，接著我們就來看他“對內”的反省YAH.。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O2ujRi230
