We Cry Together

KENDRICK LAMAR · We Cry Together

18+
Verdict
Not for kids

Extreme profanity, graphic sexual content, toxic relationship conflict

Detailed Analysis

These lyrics contain extremely explicit content throughout, making them suitable only for adult audiences. The song features: pervasive and aggressive profanity ('fuck', 'bitch', 'nigga' repeated dozens of times), explicit sexual references including graphic commentary about genitalia, sexual performance, and infidelity, volatile relationship conflict depicting emotional abuse and toxic dynamics, references to sexual acts described in crude terms, racial slurs used repeatedly, and intense themes of anger, betrayal, and emotional manipulation. The overall tone is one of a deeply hostile and explicit argument between partners, escalating into threats and graphic insults. There is no redemptive or educational framing — the content is raw, unfiltered, and sustained in its intensity from start to finish. This content is wholly inappropriate for minors and even warrants caution for some adult listeners due to its graphic and emotionally volatile nature.
