Oh, and Top Dawg called the house too. I guess they want you and Dave to come to the studio. But look, you take this music business serious, and put out something me and your dad can step to. Shit, you know we from Chicago you know that's what we do."

from Kendrick Lamar (Ft. Anna Wise) – Real Lyrics on Rap Genius

She let’s him know that TDE had called when he was away, and wants him and his friend Dave to come to the studio. Kendrick’s mom (by this time) has probably heard that Dave died but she tries to stay positive because if she believes Dave is dead it may not be long before her son meets the same fate. She goes on to tell him to take his music and his craft seriously, to make some music she and his father can dance to.

Ironically his parents moved away from Chicago to get away from the gang violence, as his father was involved with the black disciples. Little did they know Compton was just more of the same thing.
