Composition
Lyrically, Kendrick takes stereotypical advice from different races (mashed up with 'untitled 3' for Kendrick's Colbert performance in December 2014). Kendrick contrasts minorities and whites in the United States, and compares the record industry to modern day slavery.
Live performances
The song was performed publicly for the first time on December 16, 2014, on The Colbert Report, during promotion for Lamar's third studio album, To Pimp a Butterfly.
