Secondly, another poetic device that Kendrick Lamar uses in his song is irony. Irony is when an event occurs in which is unexpected in the sense that it is somehow in mocking opposition in what would be expected or appropriate. When Kendrick Lamar uses irony, it is in a very serious and thought provoking way. For example, in line 63 the speaker says, “Cause you tried to change your life and now you live in a wheelchair.” This line is ironic because it talks about how someone tried to change their life and instead of it getting better, which is what is expected, it got worse by the person becoming handicapped. Kendrick Lamar also uses irony in line 10 when he says, “I opened my Bible in search to be a better Christian / And this

Due to people who live like there is not a God expect there to not be one when they die and find out. This poetic device is important for deepening the comprehension of the meaning of the song because it shows how Kendrick is afraid that what he might believe in God or not believe and find out that it is nothing like what he expects and almost the complete opposite of what he thought would happen, will happen. Basically, irony is keeping Kendrick from lacking complete faith in people or things.
Finally, the last poetic device that Kendrick Lamar uses in his song is enjambment. Enjambment is the continuation of a sentence or clause over a line break. An example of this not from the song is, “Don’t ask me love, about that first love.” Kendrick uses enjambment in the song to highlight a key thought or word in a line. Kendrick portrays his use of enjambment in his song in line 70 when he says, “Maybe they know Him better, or I don’t know no …show more content…
The instrumentals set a nice relaxing mood that is pleasant and the lyrics create deep, reflective, and thought provoking thoughts when I enjoy having. Also, the song talks about a serious subject that many people face, especially teenagers, so during times when I am struggling with my faith, I can listen to this song and have a sense of euphoria that everything will be better just as it once was in my life. Lastly, the song is written by my favourite artist and is in the category of my preferred music genre. The societal effects that the song, “Faith” by Kendrick Lamar has are that it promotes people to have faith and believe in God and also gives some people who are lost in this world or depressed some direction. The poetic devices sued in this song make me feel satisfied and shocked. They make me feel satisfied because of how Kendrick manages to use them to continue the song all while flowing in the same appeasing rhythm. The poetic devices make feel shocked when I investigate them and find out how much they are explaining and continuing the song’s meaning and message. Overall, I thoroughly enjoy this song and would recommend it to anyone due to its great use of poetic devices, entertaining music, and great message embedded in the
