Flying Lotus shares Kendrick Lamar's full "Eyes Above" verse.

If you had the chance to catch Flying Lotus on his bonkers, afterlife-referencing 2014 "You're Dead!" tour, you' probably got the chance to hear some unreleased Kendrick Lamar vocals. Last night, FlyLo shared the full verse that he'd played throughout his tour, and now we've got it on today's song list for you.

Entitled "Eyes Above," this one has Kendrick going in over the producer's extraterrestrial sounds, as well as the landscape of rolling hills that Thudercat creates with his bass, the latter of which popped up all over To Pimp A Butterfly. This one's only just over a minute, but that's all Kendrick needs for an enthralling verse.

Quotable Lyrics

I don't allow the cameras, I don't allow the managers
I just break down the answers and hope humanity handles it
This is no radio fluke, this is me takin' your food
This is you bullied to school, give up your jacket and shoes
