Some people wanna fit in with the popular that was my problem. These lyrics gives 3 main reasons why people drink and one of the biggest reason why people drink is to kill their sorrows. It says his people get lost with so much alcohol they are consuming. It's so much alcohol it's like if the pool was filled up by liqour instead of water.

    The reason why Kendrick Lamar wrote this song is because he comes from a low income community and drinking rates are high. He saw many people drink their lifes away just like when he says his granddaddy lived he life away in bottles. An important person in his life lived away his life with bottles like many loe income citizens do. A reason why people should listen to me drick Lamar is because most of his songs are things he went through his life at a younger age. We should take the artist serious because the examples he uses in his song are true. Kendrick Lamar wrote this single with Tyler williams. There is a video that goes with the song.
