+gerrpk Not really a part of the album... it is not included in the story told throughout the album. The song is only a bonus from the deluxe version. Great song however, and that was probably why he wanted to get it out there.
This song reminds me that it ain't over until it's over... if you're on top, don't get comfortable. If you're in the struggle, keep fighting... ya know?
Determination ambition, plus dedication and wisdom Qualities he was given was the shit we didn't have Dug inside of his book bag, Coach Palmer asked for his finals He had his back like a spinal meanwhile We singing the same old song spinning the vinyl
A lot of people would call Sing about Me I'm Dying of Thirs, Alright, or U the greatest Kendrick song, but this right here is definitely his Magnum Opus. It perfectly visualizes both his background and dreams in the harsh environment of his hometown. This only further emphasizes why he is such a legendary artist of the present day.
Such a powerful song, kendrick outdid himself on this one. It's so relatable and true of our mentality. i did a remix of this song, it's along a different line but still powerful I'd appreciate it if you would check it out and give me feedback im pretty sure you will enjoy it. TDE is taking over
@@FinalFlash2110bro this song is deeper than the surface, some of us weren’t given the early opportunities and this is how we felt, like we weren’t even contributing to the goals or nothing
This song proves that this man was destined for greatness. He was realistic, honest and genuine about his feelings, surroundings. That self-honesty? That realism? Is why where he's at in the game right now! And that's a fact!

You got some vivid visuals to go along with the lyrics. Major props on that, this is definitely a song that needed a video to go with. Great vid, keep it up!!!
Amazing fan made video, admitably this being my first Kendrick Lamar song I properly listen to, I hadn't realised this wasn't the actual video for the past month.
i wanna be the next black boy to fly but i can't got no wings plus there's harp in sky no plane parachute or no god damn supply's am i stuck here am i just a victim of gravity living a Greek tragedy
This is an awesome fan made music video. I normally hate Fan made videos for songs but you nailed it. Ever clip fits the lyrics perfectly and puts the story together.
I know it gets annoying when people put their links of their songs. But I just want people to hear this song because this is a serious problem happening in Chicago EPP-Corrupt chicago (copy and paste that song in)^
he's more anxious over the fact that they are the only guys from Compton who "made it." And he's worried about everyone else who, before they get a chance, are already stuck with nowhere to go simply because they are from Compton.
After listing to his new music after since Black Panther that and crash talk by schoolboy coming back to Kendrick and the tde crew is like coming back to an old friend I haven’t speak to or seen in a long while
the issue is that many black males from poor areas don't really have a lot to be hopeful about in regards to making it out of the hood. he wasn't worried only about would He make it out, but if the Game or Aaron would be the Last Black Boys to fly; if so neither Kendrick or anyone thereafter would have a chance. I'm glad he's able to give some insight and encouragement to our young black males. #BlackBoysRock
What am I to do when every neighborhood is an obstacle When 2 niggas making it out had never sounded logical 3 niggas making it out, that's mission impossible

Gotta be the most underrated song on album.

am done
+gerrpk I don't get the appeal of this song.
Will Ventura it mostly shows the life that Kendrick Lamar was living in.
@Will Ventura this song is beautiful
This song reminds me that it ain't over until it's over... if you're on top, don't get comfortable. If you're in the struggle, keep fighting... ya know?
Dude this comment rings soo deep. Too much truth in a single sentence.
I know
Remain humble, remain hungry
As the last of the free souls it's our purpose to fly in this world
@@TheCoster11 Check out my instagram (isaiahlitefoot)
Honestly one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life.
Kendrick is not the next pac kendrick is kendrick he has his own flow and hes lyrically a genius hes not pac hes kendrick
+Michael Richardson but he does fill the cultural void Tupac created (then left), albeit in his own style and fashion
who. the fuck. cares.
+Mermaid “Dirty Ryce” Weed Fr
Kendrick is a genius. Bought 6 tickets for his concert in Paris, will sold 4 and keep 2 for me and my Best Friend.
I CAN'T WAIT !!!
doesnt even lace pacs shoes
by far the best fan-made music video i've ever seen! fits the music perfectly
My brother made it! :D will let him know you said that!
I agree my one of my favorite k dot songs
Determination ambition, plus dedication and wisdom
Qualities he was given was the shit we didn't have
Dug inside of his book bag, Coach Palmer asked for his finals
He had his back like a spinal meanwhile
We singing the same old song spinning the vinyl
A lot of people would call Sing about Me I'm Dying of Thirs, Alright, or U the greatest Kendrick song, but this right here is definitely his Magnum Opus. It perfectly visualizes both his background and dreams in the harsh environment of his hometown. This only further emphasizes why he is such a legendary artist of the present day.

paid an amazing homage to Game on this track. My hat is off for Kendrick with this track
Songs like this make me start thinking that Kendrick could be the GOAT
He is the goat
Replying from the future....it is him🥲🥲
His story telling is extremely underrated
this might be the realest shit he wrote
i'm glad kendrick shout out Game on this track cause Game put the west on his back
true dat the game up with 2pac for me
+Demn Guyz yeah man before game the west coast was in shambles.

Kendrick IS a lyrical genius...WithOut a Doubt....
Much Love, from your fan
Richard Sherman wins a ring, another Black Boy Fly
shame Kendrick recorded the track before the last superbowl. We could've got another verse out of him lol
I think it needs to be a part 2
The game deserves more respect
A rapper who pays homage to The Game. Well that's an unseen sight
My favorite track on GKMC.
the game put Compton back up when it was at its lowest
he deserve more recognition (my english is not so good)
Reyliesonmusic I'm from the West Coast he absolutely brought it back to the main stream
This Song Is Perfect .
You did a Fantastic job in creating the video. Captured the music perfectly
Jealousy will get you nowhere. Do your own thing... Do you.
This song is beautiful.
Fly, King Kendrick, Fly!
this video deserves ALOT more views than its got
Serious props to who made this video, VERY VERY well done
This song proves that this man was destined for greatness. He was realistic, honest and genuine about his feelings, surroundings. That self-honesty? That realism? Is why where he's at in the game right now! And that's a fact!
one of the best songs on the album !!
love the way you did this... super cool. i bet Kendrick would love it too
This is really good, you did the song justice
The last verse
2020 am still jamming this 🔥🙌🏻
Word up ⬆️
If I was him, I'd be honored to have this video dedicated to me. Greatest fan made video I've ever seen.
Thank God someone discovered Kendrick and let that black boy fly.
Good Kid Maad City is the best rap album of all time. Easily.

"Black Boy Fly" lyrics
Kendrick Lamar Lyrics
"Black Boy Fly"
[Intro]
So I'm saying "What up what up. Nigga you made it."
So I'm saying "What up what up. Nigga you made it."
So I'm saying "What up what up. Nigga you made it."
So I'm saying "What up what up. Nigga I hate it."
So I'm saying "What up what up. Nigga I hate it."
Frustrated and I'm riding down the back streets
Making my conscious ask me
"Would I survive to make it up out this hole in time?"
Black boy fly
Black boy fly
Black-black boy fly
Black boy fly
[Verse 1]
I used to be jealous of Aaron Afflalo
I used to be jealous of Aaron Afflalo
He was the one to follow
He was the only leader foreseeing brighter tomorrows
He would live in the gym
We was living in sorrow
Total envy of him
He made a dream become a reality
Actually making it possible to swim
His way out of Compton with further more to accomplish
Graduate with honors, a sponsor of basketball scholars
It's 2004 and I'm watching him score 30
Remember vividly how them victory points had hurt me
Cause every basket was a reaction or a reminder
That we was just moving backwards
The bungalow where you find us
The art of us ditching classes heading nowhere fast
Stick my head inside the study hall, he focused on math
Determination ambition, plus dedication and wisdom
Qualities he was given was the shit we didn't have
Dug inside of his book bag and Coach Palmer asked for his finals
He had his back like a spinal meanwhile
We singing the same old song spinning the vinyl
11 graders gone wrong
He focused on the NBA we focused on some Patron
Now watch that black boy fly
[Hook]
Black boy fly
Watch that black boy fly
Black boy fly
Watch that black boy fly
Black boy fly
Watch that black boy fly
Black boy...
[Verse 2]
I used to jealous of Jayceon
I used to jealous of Jayceon - Taylor when I was young
Taylor made a career out of music from writing songs
A Buick had driven past bumping him when I mowed the lawn
Money laundering hustling, homies pondering up against
Schemes to make a million even if doing you harm
War's the case and just in case you wasn't alarmed
The city had fought with firearms and many had died before dawn
Its 2004 and I'm hearing the people roar
For the name of The Game they line in front of the store
Swap meets selling our mixtapes I'm like oh shit, wait
Don't wanna be another nigga stuck regretting mistakes
Mixed feelings was my opinion I was defending my insecurities
Chillin my conscience next to a villain
Compton made you believe success wasn't real
Be honest, none of us knew of a record deal
So as I peel through these lottery tickets
I see a Harley Davidson truck visit the same plaza we shopped
A tall nigga hopped out with Jordans and a white tank top
He was top of the rap game, we was the top of the block
So watch that black boy fly
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
My mama didn't raise me up to be jealous-hearted
Like most of the winners call it
Regardless of where you stay, hold your head and continue marching
That's what she said but in my head I wanted to be like Jordan
A Boy touring the country with money from mic recording
The only way out the ghetto, you know the stereotype
Shooting hoops or live on the stereo like top 40
And shortly, I got discouraged
Like every time I walked to the corner had them guns bursting
Nigga, I was rehearsing in repetition the phrase
Only one in a million will ever see better days
Especially when the crime waves was bigger than tsunamis
Break your boogie boards to pieces you just a typical homy
All these niggas facetious and they all standing beside me
They all will buy me a chopper if any one of you try me
What am I to do when every neighborhood is an obstacle
When 2 niggas making it out had never sounded logical
3 niggas making it out, that's mission impossible
So I never believed the type of performance that I could do
I wasn't jealous cuz of the talents they got
I was terrified they'll be the last black boys to fly...
Out of Compton
Thank God...
Black boy fly, watch that black boy fly
You got some vivid visuals to go along with the lyrics. Major props on that, this is definitely a song that needed a video to go with. Great vid, keep it up!!!
OMG. This is amazing. Awesome job.
Kdot is the mainstream connection between conscious/storytelling and popular rap
Brahhhh motivation on another level
All of Chuck haters come walk with me bk in time.... Just ask Dot!! Fuq da rest It's The West ..
This song is dope! it's cool he showed some love for Game, Kendrick can flow
Awesome video, it really helps you follow the story 100
Thank you for this video. The song was already perfect but this elevated it even higher.
lol thought this was the real video like i was wondering why it had less views than the one with just the album artwork
I started listening to Kendrick since Overly Dedicated since then I've been ridin' & bumping King Kendrick
I swear he's gunna be the next tupac
you're wrong he's better than tupac
They're great in their own ways, don't compare them.
you can't compare tupac to kendrick ,kendrick is better
that's enough to know he's better than him
Ummmmmmm 1album ? Soo overly dedicated, section 80, & good kid m.A.A.d. city are only 1 album ?
This is great man. Nice visuals to go along with the lyrics not just random footage just to match the time frame of the song.
This song is fire!!
being black is so cool
very nice video...paid awesome homage to the Game
On a good day I barely make it through this song without crying. Today is not a good day.
Amazing fan made video, admitably this being my first Kendrick Lamar song I properly listen to, I hadn't realised this wasn't the actual video for the past month.
I'm not from Compton but this song (got me ) respect
OMG this vid is so dope.. nice job. you should get paid lol n i
i wanna be the next black boy to fly
but i can't
got no wings
plus there's harp in sky
no plane
parachute or no god damn supply's
am i stuck here
am i
just a victim of gravity
living a Greek tragedy
This is an awesome fan made music video. I normally hate Fan made videos for songs but you nailed it. Ever clip fits the lyrics perfectly and puts the story together.
My favourite Kendrick Lamar track by a long way. This video is dope and is that of professional quality. Fantastic job!!!
timeless 🔥
this is now my favorite song
This is the illest fan made music video
Rip Nipsey Hussle
This track should be even on the non deluxe. It's better than several on there.
the game!!!
one of my favourite kendrick songs to date
Amazing video, nice editing.
very well done
Big up for Kendrick, inspirational as!
nice clip mannnnnn
FUCK, i almost cried 2 or 3 times listening to this.
kendrick is as real as they come
cool video dude
one of the songs that got me hooked on Kendricks fire straight up
Inspiration barely gets 30,000 views. What a damn shame.
their from the A.D.H.D and swimming pools music videos
You did an amazing job on the video, it really even more into the picture Kendrick has painted plus more.
Fam you did a great job on the video!!! This is by far my favorite song on the album and you actually did it justice with this video!!!
who could dislike this video. This was perfect in my opinion
Respect
and he isn´t probably the last black boy to fly
this beat type looks like the eminen's
Drake could never!!!
I know it gets annoying when people put their links of their songs. But I just want people to hear this song because this is a serious problem happening in Chicago
EPP-Corrupt chicago
(copy and paste that song in)^
he's more anxious over the fact that they are the only guys from Compton who "made it." And he's worried about everyone else who, before they get a chance, are already stuck with nowhere to go simply because they are from Compton.
damn, chills man, chills
After listing to his new music after since Black Panther that and crash talk by schoolboy coming back to Kendrick and the tde crew is like coming back to an old friend I haven’t speak to or seen in a long while
It doesn't make sense to put yourself on the same level when you're a different person.
the issue is that many black males from poor areas don't really have a lot to be hopeful about in regards to making it out of the hood. he wasn't worried only about would He make it out, but if the Game or Aaron would be the Last Black Boys to fly; if so neither Kendrick or anyone thereafter would have a chance. I'm glad he's able to give some insight and encouragement to our young black males.
#BlackBoysRock
fuckin Master Piece
What am I to do when every neighborhood is an obstacle
When 2 niggas making it out had never sounded logical
3 niggas making it out, that's mission impossible
HE had doubts of making out the hood from compton cus coming out the hood is a long tunnel in order to see light
Brandon Jennings & DeMar DeRozan from Compton' black boys still flyin' Kendrick ! Dope vid !
Duck Man X is going to be the newest Kendrick Lamar trust me!
This song spoke to my being. It's like listening to Kendrick Lamar rap journal entries out aloud.
Black boy fly black black boy fly this song keeps me grounded and working
