I Don't Give a Fuck' by Kendrick Lamar tells the story of a man from the hood who refuses to engage in violence, robbery, and bad deeds. This powerful track emphasizes his resolve to rise above the negative tendencies he grew up around, highlighting his indifference to the pressures of the streets.
Intro:
Yeah, uh
You know what it is, man
K.Dot, let's get it
Verse 1:
Grew up on the corner where they slingin', where they bangin'
Seen too many homies lost, the streets always changin'
Mama told me, 'Son, don't you follow in their tracks'
But I was caught up in the cycle, couldn't see the facts
Pre-Chorus:
But now I'm older, wiser, seen it all
Ain't no glory in a life so small
Plottin' on a different route, I found my call
I don't give a fuck 'bout the streets at all
Chorus:
I don't give a fuck 'bout shootin' no more
I don't give a fuck 'bout robbin' no store
I don't give a fuck 'bout the things I used to
Now I'm on a mission, got a vision that's true
Verse 2:
Every corner's got a story, every block's got a tale
And every hustler's got a dream to make it out the jail
Used to think that was the life, had to hustle to survive
Now I see a better path, I'm just tryna stay alive
Bridge:
Cold nights, hard fights, it's a struggle to break free
But I don't give a fuck, that's not who I wanna be
Got my eyes on the prize, no disguise, no lies
Ain't no goin' back, gonna rise to the skies
Chorus:
I don't give a fuck 'bout shootin' no more
I don't give a fuck 'bout robbin' no store
I don't give a fuck 'bout the things I used to
Now I'm on a mission, got a vision that's true
Outro:
Yeah, I see it clear now, ain't no turnin' back
I'm gonna make it out, keep my soul intact
I used to give a fuck, but now I don't
Gonna break these chains, I won't be no clone
I don't give a fuck, yeah, I don't give a fuck

Its called I don't give a fuck. Its about how a guy from the hood don't want to shoot and rob and do bad things and he don't care about it no more
