Kendrick Lamar released a video for his new single, titled "The Heart Part 5," and it features only Lamar against a dark burgundy backdrop in a white T-shirt as he raps: "As I get a little older, I realize life is perspective and my perspective may differ from yours."
Lamar also thanks "everyone that's been down with me, all my fans, all my beautiful fans."
During the second verse, Lamar then morphs into O.J. Simpson, "Donda" rapper Ye, former "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett, then back to himself.
He raps, "In the land where no equal is your equal … in the land where hurt people hurt more people, (expletive) callin' it culture," before transforming into Will Smith.
Lamar also morphs into the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant and rapper Nipsey Hussle, who was shot and killed in March 2019.
Kendrick's fifth album "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers" is due Friday.
