Not only the money attracts the chicks, but also because alot of girls think its thrilling with a tough “bad boy” from the hood, which also makes girls feel more secure going out.

And I can sing song and I can unite the you that I love

This may relate to the idea of a predetermined destiny and how humans want to be in control, but in reality, we are on the same path to the destination death. He can’t come to terms with this, therefore asking it to be true that there is an afterlife and at least he can do what he wants on this earth since he can do so much good here such as unite people with music.
This could also be a reference to the song “Control” in which Kendrick Lamar name drops and disses several modern-day rappers. Meaning is he in control of the rap game now.
Sentiments of my words ain't been so sincere
The sentiment of my nerves that I just persevere
The big thought of fallin' off disappeared to my fate Flying Lotus (Ft. Kendrick Lamar) – Never Catch Me

Despite him having a very successful start to his career he is no different than anyone else while confessing he hasn’t been true to his emotion and that’s why he is always seen as calm and collective on the surface but on the inside it might be bubbling which we have seen erupting in songs such as “Jealous,” “Control,” and “Really Be (Smoking N Drinking).”
He doesn’t think about falling off anymore, there is no use in pondering over that; only time will tell. What´s occupying his mind right now is death.
This song is telling the listener if you don’t start living what you’re meant to do then you are already dead!

If you look inside Kendrick´s mind you’ll find many things that are a part of his personality including his anger that could be aligned at the industry and lack of competitiveness in the rap game, his curiosity to try different things such as rap over this Flying Lotus beat, as well as being a deep thinker.
This could also represent that him as complete human being not just a one sided and put in the conscious rapper box. In Kendrick’s music you won’t just find Chief Keef, “I Don’t Like” angry, drill music or an album full of “Super Lupe” verses, as seen on tracks like “Backstreet Freestyle.” You’ll find a mixture of all of these things.
Reminiscent how Nas started his verse on “No Idea´s Original”:

Nas’s sins may land him in hell, but his diamond jewelry (“ice”) will keep him safe down there, seeing that ice is quite the antidote to fire.
Cormega’s been on record saying that he lent Nas his famous, “I’ll be flooded with ice so hell fire can’t scorch me,” on The Firm’s “Affirmative Action.” The rest of Nasty’s verse was all his.

Raheem with The Furious Five and Grandmaster Flash are pioneers that started their career and changed the game with “The Message” before the Crack Epidemic in the early 80s, before Missy Elliot blew up and before Rev Run of Run-D.M.C. made the song “My Addidas”.

Reference to the album this song is featured on You’re Dead!.
This is not something physically as a human – It’s an out-of-body experience that many have had who’ve been near dead but lived to tell it. So at the end of the song he dies.
Honestly I think it’s even deeper than that. There’s no denying the psychedelic aspects of the album clearly heard throughout the music and explicitly shown on the album cover with the faceless man. This is meant to represent ego death and the faceless nature of every human being in that, we all are essentially the same when it comes down to it and we shed our face (or cultural, personal identities). This is why Kendrick says it “ain’t physical” because he means to suggest there is something much larger beyond us that gives us the amazing skills and talents we have than just the physical biology that supports us. The intensity of the music, the power of the possible drugs users could be on while listening could bring an “out of body experience”, the feeling of nirvana that many can get from this combination and Kendrick’s rapid words is not a “coincidence” because he believes we have been to that place already before. “You been died” is really remarkable because he’s basically saying we came from this magical place, our time on earth still is part of it so in effect we are already dead because we will once again fade back into the cosmos at the end of it all. Really deep stuff. Lemme know if anyone else agrees or if I’m just stretching.
