The truth will set you free so to me be completely honest. No matter how much we fail, if we repent, if we continue to acknowledge how we fail, how we fall, God will save us. For him, in God, all things are possible. Lord forgive me for all my sins for I not know. At the start of вЂњGood Kid,вЂќ we see the rapperвЂ™s conversion-he acknowledges his human sin and accepts that salvation lies in Jesus Christ. LamarвЂ™s lyrics are wide-ranging, touching on issues from alcoholism (вЂњNow I done grew up/ Round some people living their life in bottlesвЂ¦./ Some people like the way it feels/ Some people wanna kill their sorrowsвЂќ) to gang life (вЂњI never was a gangbanger, I mean I was never stranger to the folk neitherвЂќ).

22, 2012, the album chronicles a day in the life of a teenage Lamar, beginning at a house party where he meets a young woman named Sherane (вЂњI met her at this house party on El Segundo and Central.вЂќ). Hailed as a classic upon its release on Oct.

City,вЂќ the major label debut for the Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar.

Five seconds later, young men proclaim, вЂњLord God/ I come to you a sinner/ And I humbly repent for my sins/ I believe that Jesus is Lord./ I will ask that Jesus come to my life/ And be my Lord and Savior.вЂќ And so begins вЂњGood Kid, M.A.A.D.
