you don't think his perspective is interesting?

Look inside these walls and you see them having withdrawals
Of a prisoner on his way
Trapped inside your desire
To fire bullets that stray
Track attire just tell you I'm tired and ran away
I should ask a choir what do you require
To sing a song that acquire me to have faith
As the record spin I should pray
For the record I recognize that I'm easily prey
I got ate alive yesterday
I got animosity building, it's probably big as a building
Me jumping off of the roof is me just playing it safe
But what am I supposed to do when the topic is red or blue
And you understand that I ain't, but know I'm accustomed to
Just a couple that look for trouble and live in the street with rank
No better picture to paint than me walking from bible study
And called his homies because he had said he noticed my face
From a function that tooken place, they was wondering if I bang
Step on my neck and get blood on your Nike checks
I don't mind because one day you'll respect
The good kid, m.A.A.d. city

i just think its well written and delivered. I agree the subject matter isn't original, but kenderick very much has his own mark on it. A lot more intricacies and humanization with the topic, more so than any other commercial rapper I can think of at the moment.
Its a more mature record than what you'd expect considering it's a label release. The single "swimming pools" being the pop single. I mean compare it to his affiliates who have had to incorporate at least some twerk-able tracks on their releases just to get the record off.
