Hours prior to the song’s release, rumors of Kodak’s appearance on "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers" had begun to circulate, however, it wasn’t confirmed until its official release.
The song’s title, “Silent Hill” could be taken verbatim — in songs such as “Savior,” Kendrick makes mention of silence as a mechanism for his individual mental health and explicitly cites a “valley of silence.” The song’s title could again present the connotation behind Kendrick’s lyrics as he speaks about his individual silent integrity.
Silent Hill is also the name of a famous survival horror game franchise, created by Konami. Kendrick could also be comparing the horror of his outcome to the fictional horror of the series.

Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, you keep fuckin' with me?
You gon' make me jump out my skin, believe me
Push these niggas off me like, "Huh"
Push these bitches off me like, "Huh"
Push these niggas off me like, "Huh"
Pushin' the snakes, I'm pushin' the fakes, I'm pushin' 'em all off me like, "Huh"
Aha, I be immune to shit (aha)
Tuck in the broom and shit (aha)
They want to assume and shit (aha)
Know you a choke, my ancestor close
I howl at the moon and shit (aha)
Know the results, the ballot is in
Man, I'm 'bout to boom again (aha)
You funny, dawg
Peek-a-boo, can't hide behind your money, dawg
A week or two, I meditate on runnin' lost
Swerve, swerve, swerve, shake the currents off, yeah
Push these niggas off me like, "Huh"
Push these bitches off me like, "Huh"
Push these niggas off me like, "Huh"
Pushin' the snakes, I'm pushin' the fakes, I'm pushin' 'em all off me like, "Huh"
Pushin' 'em all off me like "Huh" (yeah)
Head up, chest out
Silence, I'm stressed out
Shh, be quiet, I'm stressed out
Stressed out, stressed out, stressed
Pick my daughter up, she need all the love
I need all the love, I mean all of us
It's like six o'clock, bitch, you talk too much
You makin' it awkward, love
I mean, it's hard enough, I mean, it's
They don't fuck with me even if they could
Pull out the stick, hit a bitch with the wood
First to park Rolls Royce 'vert in the hood
Don't worry about us over here, we good
The AP roman numeral, everywhere I go I need pharmaceuticals
I ran my whole conglomerate, I was just mappin' shit out in the cubicle
Suicide coupe was a funeral, Trackhawk launch like a slingshot
Big ol' ruby diamond on my pinky finger, that bitch look like a Ring Pop
Money on my mind, money on your head
Can't ride three times when you comin' through the 'jects
Red Cross, kept a nigga fed
In the studio with K. Dot fresh out the feds
Yeah, you niggas can't stand the rain, you niggas don't stand a chance
Yeah, Chevrolet candy paint, I spin the bend in a Benz
I caught a bale off a Google app
I'm the type to get my shooter whacked
I had to survive off a tuna pack
Five percent tint on the whip, like, "Who was that?"
Coupe take off like it's mad
Beat the dope with a fork, I'm whippin' up Sudafed, I'm doin' scams in the lab
Every Thursday, girls day, spendin' time with my daughter, make me go harder
Every Sunday, son's day, teach my boy to be a man, I ain't have no father
Fell in the love with the block, I ain't have no pop
Just a sawed off shotgun Mossberg
We stackin' that money up proper, awkward diamonds, look like marbles
Audemars water, aqua beatin' the block up 'til we spot 'em
I don't want your ice, boy, I want your life, but fuck it, I might still rob 'em
Yo
Push these niggas off me like, "Huh"
Push these bitches off me like, "Huh"
Push these niggas off me like, "Huh"
Pushin' the snakes, I'm pushin' the fakes, I'm pushin' 'em all off me like, "Huh"
Pushin' 'em all off me like "Huh" (yeah)

Silence, I'm stressed out
Shh, be quiet, I'm stressed out
Stressed out, stressed out, stressed out
In the song "Silent Hill," Kendrick Lamar expresses his frustration with people constantly messing with him. He feels like he is being suffocated and is about to jump out of his own skin. He compares his struggles to pushing snakes and fakes off of him. He has a lot on his mind and feels like he is constantly under stress. Amidst all this, he still finds time for his daughter and tries to teach his son to be a good man.
The chorus of the song is all about pushing people off of him, and he repeats it several times throughout the song. These lines suggest that Kendrick considers himself to be a king and doesn't want anyone to mess with him or bring him down. The heavy bass and electronic beat in the background create tension and highlight his sense of anxiousness and unrest.
Overall, the song deals with the pressure of fame and success and the struggles one has to go through to maintain their true self amidst all the noise.

@JESUSCHRIST-ONLYWAYTOHEAVEN
JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM & HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT SO IF YOU REJECT HIM YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE WITHOUT GOD OR PEOPLE... YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER!
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/NO PRIEST/NO SAINT/NO ANCESTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, MARY DIDN'T, THE POPE DIDN'T EITHER, NO IDOLS OR FALSE gods DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO MUSICIAN OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO INFLUENCER OR YOUTUBE STAR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO SCIENTIST OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR ACTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS! STOP IDOLIZING & WORSHIPING THESE PEOPLE!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6
"But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33
“For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23

Suicide crews at funeral
Track hot, launch like a slingshot
Big ole ruby diamond on my pinkey finger
That bitch look like a Ring Pop
Money on my mind, money on your head
Can't rap three times while you comin' through the jets
Red cross cap a nigga fade
In the studio with K Dot fresh out the feds
Yeah, you niggas can't stand the rain, niggas don't stand a chance
Yeah, shuffle like candy paint, I spend a band on a Benz
I call the bitch off a Google app
I'm the type to kill my shooter weapon
I had to survive off a tuna pack
Five percent tint on the wood like who was that?
Cu Tang caught niggas mad
Beat the dope with a fo', I'm whippin' up Sudafed
Only doin' scams in the lab
Every Thursday girls they spendin' time with my daughter
Made me go harder
Every Sunday Service, they teach my boy to be a man
I ain't have no father
Fell in the love with the block, I ain't have no park
Just a sawed-off shotgun Mossberg
We stackin' that money up propper
Opp with diamonds it look like marbles
Audemars water, aqua beatin' a blocker 'til we spout 'em
I don't want your ice, boy, I want your life
But fuck it, I might still rob 'em
