"To Pimp a Butterfly"'s singles "i" (in 2015) and "Alright" (in 2016) each won a Grammy for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance, with the latter also nominated for Song of the Year. Additionally, "These Walls" won Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

The song features lyrics that celebrate his African-American heritage, and "tackles hatred, racism, and hypocrisy head on."

Lamar says that his music is therapy, and listening to Butterfly suggests that the good kid from the mad city needed a lot of it. On "u" -- the album's most emotional track -- Kendrick admits that he faced depression and thought of suicide after the murder of a close friend. After that murder, K. Dot fantasized of getting revenge, but instead he poured his angst into "The Blacker the Berry." "When I say these lines, it's for myself, this is therapeutic for myself because I still feel that urge and I still feel that anger and that hatred for that man next door because I gotta get a call knowing that somebody around the corner done did this to my partner." https://on.mtv.com/2jdPmpC
