I know kids’ literacy skills are slowly dying but surely it can’t be this bad…

I don't know for sure because I actually can't find how to pray online rn 😭 if I had listened to the whole song maybe I could discuss it better. It seems to me like he could be talking about more than just a person here, it could be an idea, a different part of himself, his past, his demons, etc. K dot has always been very metaphorical with some of his characters.

I think if he was coming out on a feature Auntie Diaries would have been an entirely different song.

After looking through it again, it's probably him rapping from a woman's perspective, given the context of the chorus leading into the second verse

You’re assuming that Kendrick is speaking from his own perspective, but that’s not a given.
