Kendrick Lamar’s new song “Reincarnated (Stargazer) / Broccoli” was teased on July 4, 2024, as part of the opening of his music video for “Not Like Us“.
The song features lyrics that suggest themes of reincarnation, ambition, and family: “I am reincarnated” and “I was stargazin'” indicate a spiritual or metaphysical element to the song. “Life goes on, I need all my babies” implies Kendrick is focused on providing for his family and moving forward in life. “Woke up, lookin’ for the broccoli” and “High key, keep a horn on me, that Kamasi” reference money and collaborating with musician Kamasi Washington.
The song samples “When I Hear Music” by Debbie Deb. The song was produced by Scott Bridgeway and is expected to appear on Kendrick’s upcoming album. Fans are excited about the potential Kendrick-Kamasi Washington collaboration hinted at in the lyrics.
Broccoli Kendrick Lamar Lyrics
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
I am reincarnated (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
I was stargazin’ (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
Life goes on, I need all my babies (Gyah, gyah)
Woke up, lookin’ for the broccoli
High key, keep a horn on me, that Kamasi
IP ownership, the blueprint is by me
Mr. Get Off, I get off at my feet
