11 Lyrics From ‘untitled unmastered.’ To Live By

The fact that Kendrick Lamar dropped an entirely new and entirely awesome album into our laps right before the weekend is anything but a coincidence. Dropping an album on a Monday when all there is to look forward to is another week of drudgery just feels like torture to any fan. But the fact that Lamar released untitled unmastered. right before the weekend tells me that he’s interested in our well-being. Or, at least, that he wants these songs to become our weekend jams. And the songs easily could, because when I heard the news that the album was here, I spent the next few hours looking up untitled unmastered. lyrics and singing the songs on repeat until those words were written in my brain.

And let me tell you, these songs are contagious. Mostly because the verses are on point. Not only are these lyrics doing some serious political work, there are so many lyrics from untitled unmastered. to live by. Lyrics that are so on point, you wish you could make them the motto of the rest of your life. So call up a t-shirt printing company. Get your GIF maker ready.
