What does Kendrick Lamar mean when he says "Dominoes"?

[Just Silver]

what if it means interracial couples

lol that caught me off guard

i always assumed he meant the game

ya never know thats the fun part with music lol... discussion

The reason it sounds like he's talking about the game is because his mother says "them dominoes". Plural. If she were talking about the pizza, you would think she would say "pizza" because Kendrick's father (if I'm remembering it right) says "Tell him to bring me my motherfuckin' dominoes". That could be either, but his mother using the plural makes it sound like game pieces, not the pizza.

But that begs the question: why does Kendrick have some dominoes that belong to his father, and why are they so fucking important?

I just thought the dad wanted Kendrick to bring him home some Dominoes pizza. Seriously. I never even thought it could be anything else.

Definitely referring to a drug, maybe it's a word his dad used to describe a drug he did that only his Dad called it that. It is a personal/story album and probably didn't see the need to say what it was.

[Elision]

it think he is literally talking about tripping on dominoes on the floor.

I thought he meant some sort of drug and didn't really even question it.

Makes sense to me, I don't think he would be that concerned over a game :P

[LEVITIKUZ]

I though he meant pizza

I really hope some of you are being silly. He just wants his dominoes to play some bones. Nothing more, nothing less. This thread is driving me crazy lol
