Kendrick Lamar on his religious beliefs at a young age: “We couldn’t believe something we dind’t know about. As a kid, all we seeing is street sh*t… When you see one of your partners get smoked and that same day you have someone coming to you preaching to you asking you, ‘Do you believe in God?,’ it gives you a [different] outlook.”
