“His Pain” by Kendrick Lamar (featuring BJ the Chicago Kid)
“His Pain” is a song about receiving the favor of God, even though the recipients may live in negative environments surrounded by life-threatening situations. K-Dot begins the track by detailing recent events in the lives of two men. The common theme between the narratives is that both of the subjects’ lives have recently been marred by very-negative experiences.
However, they are subsequently “blessed” with a surprise, seemingly-undeserved stroke of favor. BJ picks up on this theme by expressing how hopeless the world around him seems. Yet he goes on to thank God for the times He saved his life, even when he wasn’t aware it was even in danger.
