* "meet the grahams", one of Kendrick's [[TheDissTrack diss tracks]] against Music/{{Drake}}, is framed as Kendrick addressing Drake's various family members -- his son Adonis, his mother Sandra, and his to-be-identified secret daughter -- apologizing for how awful of a father and son Drake has been to them. While it's [[UnnervinglyHeartwarming deliberately meant to be undercut with dark, backhanded undertones]] (Kendrick [[BrutalHonesty straight-up tells them he believes that Drake should]] ''[[BrutalHonesty die]]'' [[BrutalHonesty for his crimes]]), Kendrick makes sure to sincerely encourage Drake's children that [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre they are better than their old man and deserve a bright, productive future]] even if Drake [[ParentalNeglect refuses to give them one]], and offers condolences to Sandra Graham for having to witness her son growing up to be a hateful, exploitative sexual predator.

* "Auntie Diaries" has Kendrick admit to learning his cousin came out as a transwoman, not only accepting her as who they are despite knowing them as a man for most of their life, but condemning themselves for young, immature homophobia, which he points out is also because one didn't know better through ignorance.

*"Real" features Kendrick contemplating his life choices after the events of "Sing About Me, Dying of Thirst", all while interlaced with the voicemails of his mother and father (who've appeared as comedic relief throughout the album) comforting him about the death of his friend. His mother in particular encourages him to follow up a call to Top Dawg Entertainment and "give back to the kids" and "to his town" as a way to encourage those same kids to not fall into the darker side of their city, being Compton.
* The ending of "Mortal Man" off of ''To Pimp a Butterfly''. Hearing Kendrick talk to [[Music/TupacShakur Pac]] can be seen as Kendrick talking to someone he admires despite Pac being dead for two decades.
