Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.9/100, a mean average of 81.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.1.

This song sucks! One of the worst choruses ever. The rest of album is perfect though

Worst song on the album. I can't get behind the vocals in the chorus. Anna Wise adds a lot to this album but when they start adding effects on her vocals things go south more often than not. The instrumental on this keeps me from giving it a worse rating. Sounds like a b-side to me.
On it's own, this track probably doesn't make much sense, but it's my favourite on the album. It pretty perfectly encapsulates the maturity that Kendrick takes on and the monologue his mother gives is especially moving. Perfect final chapter to a beautiful album (before the 'end-credits' track Compton, which is a pretty excellent way to leave the whole thing ending on a high note).

The hook is terribly annoying which is a shame because the rest is good.
Annoying song.
I love it, I think its a little under rated, its an important part of the story, he's talking about self respect and redemption and his new found maturity.

"I do what I wanna do,
I say what I wanna say when I feel like."

good
It's a cool song
