Kendrick's POV

It's been 4 months after that funeral back in Compton. May was right, shockingly. They wanted me there. The next step was to go another funeral, my own. There was another thing beating me up inside that I didn't tell May. My music, I didn't feel that I was doing everything I could do to be real. I never wanted to be that artist. The kind that only rap about what sells: drugs and bitches. I hated listening to my own music sometimes. The funny thing was, people would tell me how real I was. Real, it's like they don't know the meaning of the word. What I was doing was getting by. Putting out a little real and mostly fake, for what? The money. I let the money control what I did and how I did it. I started to realize that when I made a song it didn't matter if it had truth in it, it mattered if it sells. I've been walking in on May in the studio and I'll probably never admit this to ANYONE, but her music inspired me to fuck the label and rap about the real shit. I changed my name to Kendrick Lamar from K.Dot for a reason... and damn was I feeling like K.Dot. Now, I'm going to sit back and enjoy a little time to myself and watch May become the best female artist of all time.
