DAMN.是由14首歌組成的故事,開頭這首BLOOD.只是一段引子,Kendrick作為敘事者(將在以下與其後的說明中稱呼為“主角”),卻在開頭就遭到槍殺,當然,也會在之後的歌曲慢慢揭露到底是怎麼回事。61Please respect copyright.PENANAcoFSM5d6bW

其中提到兩種元素:wickedness與weakness,邪惡/惡人與懦弱/弱者——如同聖經中的獅子與羔羊——這兩方對立的元素也將會在這張專輯中不斷出現,而由我們聽者來決定這些是屬於展露邪惡的歌、或是展露懦弱的歌。(這種雙面性真的很雙子座lmao)61Please respect copyright.PENANAp4SiSXIU5f

至於Outro的播報內容,是來自Fox新聞台對Kendrick Lamar某次Live演出的批評。61Please respect copyright.PENANAyH62ILzFV6
61Please respect copyright.PENANAvYGUFvvfpS
當時Live演出的曲目為《Alright》,來自2015年的專輯《美國蝴蝶夢》,被譽為美國黑人民權運動的神專輯,結果那些名嘴真的就是沒聽整首歌就在斷章取義,將音樂曲解成種族對立、鼓舞仇恨,簡直是瞎扯亂評。61Please respect copyright.PENANAA3Sr7wKoU9
61Please respect copyright.PENANA7N9iAmOk0R
Kendrick為此也有做出回應:「你們怎麼能把一首關於希望的歌,說成是仇恨?整首歌傳達的意思是『我們終將一切安好。』,而不是『我想殺人。』」61Please respect copyright.PENANArHJIuE2tCZ

主角被媒體中傷、喋血街頭(BLOOD.),所以下一首他就展示自己組成的本質(DNA.)直接向Fox新聞台開火,而且殺個他們片甲不留。61Please respect copyright.PENANAckrAZrz4k5
