I’m sure I missed a lot of stuff but Sam says at one point toward the beginning that it’s too ghetto, and then when there’s more lowkey stuff in “All the Stars” with the pleasant vocals he says, “that’s better,” to reference how black people in America have to moderate and tone down their culture to be more palatable to white people. Also being Uncle Sam, he was saying the government wants to silence him and people like him, and doesn’t approve of what he says and does.

Kendrick’s culture is so held down they had him play on the biggest stage and most watched event in the US.

He is so against the system bro

That seems like sarcasm but he grew up in Compton, I think he has the life experience to make informed social commentary.
