There is still a bit of confusion I have seen around about what Lucy is. It took me quite a while to fully understand it so I’ll play along and explain it a bit.

First and foremost Lucy represents all of the evil desires and wishes that Kendrick has. This is everything from greed to power, the things that a young Compton kid dreams of but doesn’t real is evil. In GKMC we had Sherane which was one of the motifs to show that Kendrick was a good kid trying to find love in a m.A.A.d city. Lucy is the exact opposite.

Lucy is a romanticised form of Lucifer (a.k.a Satan). Unlike Sherane, Kendrick just want’s to fuck Lucy and is less in love with her than he is of the benefits. The devil offers great fame and power, but he requires Kendrick to turn against his people and give in completely. This gets him the fame and fortune, but at what cost?

Lucy is a common slang for another supposed evil in the world LSD. Kendrick is very much against drugs, so it is quite possible that this is another evil he is seeing in the world. The interesting thing about this is the history of the slang of Lucy. “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” was in origin a song by John Lennon that was interpreted to be about LSD, while in reality it was about his son’s drawing of his friend Lucy. The evil prevails in symbolism, by making positive songs into evil references.

Satan knows that Kendrick has in the past turned to the bible in times of trouble, like in the beginning of GKMC, “Sherane a.k.a. Master Splinter’s Daughter.” In “For Sale” Kendrick has his last romantic moments with Lucy ripped away as he realizes the evil that she holds.

Kendrick’s love for Lucy is a metaphor for the acceptance of evil into our lives. Kendrick falling for bling and material things over the importance of his home is something that he sees as evil and is upset with himself about.

Stay trill homies
