She gave him a F , I say that young boy deserve A
Cuz she never slept where he slept, or seen ricochet bullets rip
Through his cousins face rippin his face off

from Kendrick Lamar – The Best Rapper Alive Lyrics on Rap Genius

The teacher gives a student from the ghetto an F as a final grade, but in Kendrick’s opinion he deserves to make an A because he can barely concentrate on school with the amount of violence that is constantly surrounding him. Kendrick states that the student’s teacher doesn’t understand him because she isn’t in the same shoes as the student and hasn’t witnessed violence first-hand unlike he has.
