Kendrick Lamar is in the midst of his The Big Steppers Tour right now, but he took some time out of his schedule to pen a reflective message for fans.

In an Instagram Story last night, Lamar wrote about the personal importance of rap and his place in it:

“ngl jesus jojo and mary. took a n**** twenty years to find mother i sober. rap has truly helped my expansion of self. beyond the perception of who I believed to be. on jojo. music is air to a young n**** at this point. mr morale. the catalyst of my self expression. ill never forget the process of falling in love with imperfection. the piano. my fans. the stories of reconciliation i hear from penitentiaries to small villages. Some words will find you today. Some will find you in 10. find your children type sh*t. sitting in the corner like an old book. im forever underground. infratrating the mainstream a la carte. these cities still beautiful to watch. on jojo. ily

-ok ok!”

In the hours before the message, Lamar also took to his Instagram to share 50 photos from his tour, each picture getting its own post.
