YAH:
"I'm not a politician, I'm not 'bout a religion
I'm a Israelite, don't call me Black no mo'
That word is only a color, it ain't facts no mo'
My cousin called, my cousin Carl Duckworth
Said know my worth
And Deuteronomy say that we all been cursed
I know he walks the Earth
But it's money to get, ******* to hit, yah
Zeroes to flip, temptation is, yah
First on my list, I can't resist, yah"
FEAR:
Intro- "What's up, family? Yeah, it’s yo cousin Carl, man, just givin' you a call, man. I know you been havin' a lot on yo mind lately, and I know you feel like, you know, people ain't been prayin' for you. But you have to understand this, man, that we are a cursed people. Deuteronomy 28:28 says, "The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart." See, family, that's why you feel like you feel like you got a chip on your shoulder. Until you finally get the memo, you will always feel that way…"
Outro- "Verse two says, "You only have I known of all the families of the Earth, therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities." So until we come back to these commandments, until you come back to these commandments, we're gonna feel this way, we're gonna be under this curse. Because He said He's gonna punish us, the so-called Blacks, Hispanics, and Native American Indians, are the true children of Israel. We are the Israelites, according to the Bible. The children of Israel, He's gonna punish us for our iniquities, for our disobedience, because we chose to follow other gods that aren't His son, so the Lord, thy God, chasten thee. So, just like you chasten your own son, He's gonna chastise you because He loves you. So that's why we get chastised, that's why we're in the position we're in. Until we come back to these laws, statutes, and commandments, and do what the Lord said, these curses are gonna be upon us. We're gonna be at a lower state in this life that we live here in today, in the United States of America. I love you, son, and I pray for you. God bless you, shalom." -FEAR

The intense mainstream appeal of his album is to mask the heavy concept of the true Isrealites being the "minoirities" of America ( and abroad) and the reason for their oppression is the curse of falling away from Gods/Yahwehs truths/commandments. This realization is one of the, if not the reason this album is called, DAMN.
This is biblical, but modern day christianity sees this as something that happened, not something that has happening and they dont consider old testament doctrine as relevant except for what they decide cooperates with new testament teachings. This is a radical shift in Kendricks understanding of the bible and how that relates to the black struggle. An understanding that leads him ( and should lead us) to look at the man in the mirror.
