He and his friends, in a broken rage, are about to fight back until an elderly woman convinces him to not to and embrace God as a way to recover in "Sing About Me, Dying of Thirst" and Kendrick's able to slowly recover and cope with the events in "Real", with his mother and father sending their voicemails to comfort him from the ordeal, his mother encouraging him to follow up with Top Dawg Entertainment and tell his story to the kids of Compton and "give back to his city". Bittersweet Ending: Kendrick's friend gets shot and killed after they retaliate against Sherane's cousins jumping Kendrick at the end of "Swimming Pools (Drank)".I pray my dick get big as the Eiffel Tower Bigger Is Better in Bed: Exaggerated for comedy in "Backseat Freestyle":.Anti-Hero: Kendrick is sympathetic, but displays horrible judgement and is hardly heroic.The story ultimately begins at the end of the second track, when K-dot is invited to come along with some friends. Anachronic Order: The narrative jumps back and forth between Kendrick getting jumped on his way to meet Sherane, hanging out with his friends, and voicemails from his parents.All There in the Manual: Averted Trope the spoken word sketches common to rap albums here color in the narrative rather than serving as comic relief.

Album Title Drop: The album title is drop at the end of each verse in "good kid".all lowercase letters: The title "good kid".The Alcoholic: "Swimming Pools (Drank)" is from the perspective of one.

Seem like the whole trope list go against me, very time I scroll down I read:

Encouraged by family and religious figures not to continue down this path, K-dot is implied to find religion and grows into a successful rap artist. Tired of Running, K-dot's friends get into a shootout to avenge him and drive off the other gang members at the cost of one of their own, seemingly ensuring a Cycle of Revenge. Two blocks from her home, he is instead intercepted by members of a rival gang who predictably beat him senseless for his trouble. Distracted by sexual fantasies, K-dot impulsively drives into the wrong neighborhood alone to hook up with Love Interest Sherane. However, he isn't such a good kid when he's "with the homies" he claims to believe in sobriety and nonviolence but discards both in their presence, barely evading arrest and suffering through bad drug trips as a result. The album centers around a young Lamar - the titular "good kid", referred to as "K-dot". Billed as a "short film", the album plays as a fictionalized narrative about Lamar's teenage experiences in Compton, California (the titular "m.A.A.d city" note the formatting of "m.A.A.d" is a two-way acronym for "My Angry Adolescence Divided" and "My Angels on Angel Dust"), deconstructing Gangsta Rap by featuring a darker and more realistic vision of teenage gang life. Good kid, m.A.A.d city is the second studio album and major-label debut of American rapper Kendrick Lamar.
