Dive deep into the infernal depths with Kendrick Lamar’s 'Third Circle Fire,' a hard-hitting, lyrically complex rap journey through the third level of Dante’s Inferno. Known for his witty and symbolic lyricism, Kendrick captures the torment and reflection of souls trapped in fiery damnation amidst everlasting torrents of rain, hail, and snow.
Intro
(Kendrick Lamar):
Yo, descend with me into the third circle,
where the fires burn cold and the pain stays eternal.
Witty lines and tight rhymes, it’s infernal,
let's unravel the fate of the souls internal.
Verse 1:
Welcome to the abyss where the gluttonous reside,
Third circle, the endless storm they can't hide,
Rain mixed with hail and snow in a twisted tide,
No redemption here, just pain amplified.
Tornado of torment, Dante’s vision vivid,
Gushing and pounding their gluttonous spirit,
Eternal hunger, sins they can’t inhibit,
Material greed, yeah, now they gotta live it.
Heat from the sky, trying to incinerate regret,
Floodwaters risen, drowned in their own debt,
No mercy from Cerberus, triple-headed threat,
Chewing on sinners like they're never gonna quit.
Hook:
Fires burn slow, pain on overflow,
Gluttonous souls reap what they sow,
Hungry for more, but the more they forego,
Is the third circle truth that you need to know.
Verse 2:
Symbolic like the flakes that fall from the skies,
Their addiction to excess, left them paralyzed,
Blindly chasing pleasures, never wise,
Now facing curses, inferno's surprise.
Witty like the flow, yet bitter like their cries,
The devil's in the details, watched them as they rise,
Built empires of indulgence, disguise,
Now in the pit, they can't escape, no lies.
Overindulgence, they fed their own demise,
Forever punished under Hell's watchful eyes,
No exit strategy or intelligent replies,
Just cyclic suffering where their spirit dies.
Bridge:
Layers of hell where lost souls contemplate,
Read between the lines or bear the weight,
Witty connotations they now correlate,
Know your sins before it’s too late.
Hook:
Fires burn slow, pain on overflow,
Gluttonous souls reap what they sow,
Hungry for more, but the more they forego,
Is the third circle truth that you need to know.
Outro
(Kendrick Lamar):
Take heed from the beast to the feast,
Third circle fire don’t ever cease,
Let wisdom guide you, beg for release,
From indulgence, find your inner peace.
