In this poetry research paper, I will discuss the work of Kendrick Lamar, his life, his goals and accomplishments that he has done since he joined the music industry. Kendrick Lamar Duckworth also known as Kendrick Lamar is a rapper, born and raised in Compton, California. Kendrick was born June, 17th 1987, growing up in the streets of Compton where seeing some die was normal and when seeing a robbery was just another day. He grew up rapping and rhyming in the streets, earning the nickname ‘K-Dot’. Just another boy growing up in the hood. Growing up, Kendrick was one of four, though he was the only child until he was seven years old. He was one of those quiet children who liked staying at home, watching T.V, a man to himself (Eells). Kendrick 's father had 14 siblings and his mother had 10 siblings. All raised and living in Chicago until his parents got sick of the gangs and the fights that were always happening over there. By 1984, they picked up their stuff and they both left by themselves to the city of Compton. Leaving their families, hoping for a better life for their children.

Kendrick 's mother describes him as a precious young man and they had even nicknamed him “Man-Man”. Kendrick adds his thoughts on that and adds that he “grew up fast as fuck” The Duckworth’s family was not a rich or a wealthy family, they were barely…
My dad checked out the door leading to the garage. He touched it and hissed in pain at the heat up against his bare hand. Then he opened it, to my horror the smoke barreled inside to our home. Nothing I could tell myself could waver my belief. The house was on fire and we needed to get out now. I sprinted up the stairs in a panic, telling my other brothers “the house is on fire we need to leave now!” Thoughts ran through my head rapidly. I could not decide what to do first. Just run out or grab…

Then I started stuttering because I was trying to explain it. “I I I saw a guy in our backyard and he he looked like he got burnt” I said “Just calm down I will go look and see what’s going on” he said As he goes out and looks I follow behind him.

across the sky with each letter alternating from a passionate red to a sparkling gold. It was really a piece of art to experience Iron Man precisely aim the fire works and coordinate it so they would spell out my cousin 's name. It was near midnight, and by then most of the party guests had left. We had helped my auntie clean up a bit before we decided it was time for us to leave. We were arriving to our home when I noticed the house was not in the same state that we had left it in. I noticed…
looking for the mysterious shadow, I noticed a few things about my intimidating location. First I saw a few rusted paint buckets that were surrounded by cobweb, along with that I saw sets of old wooden shelves holding garden tools that my father would soon put in the new garage. The walls looked like something out of an old horror movie. That is when I started thinking of my family. I had no clue whether I would ever see them again. I slowly started to remember the last words I had said to them.…
As the mother of seven children, Hanna and Max gave the children the responsibility of going to the store at a very early age. The purchases were always very simple such as a loaf of bread and a quart of milk. As a rule, they would spend a penny or two for candy and put the remainder of the change in the grocery bag. This not only enabled them to learn how to shop, but to stretch a dollar as well. On this particular Saturday, Susan and Beth returned home from the store with the usual purchases…

drive back home. Upon starting the car, I felt myself get nervous again. I felt my cousin’s eyes glaring me down, so I quickly took action and proceeded my way home with caution. The drive back home seemed longer than it should have. I finally came to the last stop and I felt myself loosen up. I could see my house from there and relievement went through my body.
