Mass hallucination, baby Ill education, baby Want to reconnect with your elations This is your station, baby Look inside these walls And you see I'm havin' withdrawals of a prisoner on his way Trapped inside your desire to fire bullets that stray Track attire just tell you I'm tired and ran away I should ask a choir 'What do you require To sing a song that acquire me to have faith?' As the record spin I should pray For the record, I recognize that I'm easily prey I got ate alive yesterday I got animosity buildin', it's probably big as a buildin' Me jumpin' off of the roof is me just playin' it safe But what am I 'posed to do when the topic is red or blue And you understand that I ain't? But know I'm accustomed to just a couple that look for trouble And live in the street with rank No better picture to paint than me walkin' from bible study And called his homies because he had said he noticed my face From a function that tooken place, they was wonderin' if I bang Step on my neck and get blood on your Nike checks I don't mind cause one day you'll respect the good kid, m.A.A.d city. Mass hallucination, baby Ill education, baby Want to reconnect with your elations This is your station, baby All I see in this room: 20's, Xannies and these 'shrooms Grown-up candy for pain, can we live in a sane society It's entirely stressful upon my brain You hired me as a victim, I quietly hope for change When violence is the rhythm, inspired me to obtain The silence in this room with 20's, Xannies and 'shrooms Some grown-up candy I lost it, I feel it's nothing to lose The streets sure to release the worst side of my best Don't mind, cause now you ever in debt to good kid, m.A.A.d.

When I think good kid and MAAD city are together the center pieces of the album. For the most part, he is stepping out of the narrative of the story in those songs and talking more directly to the culture itself. The song itself was not released as a single, but the album “Good Kid, m.A.A.d City” is certified platinum by the RIAA in August 2013, so yes.
