It’s almost that time of year again when football fans gather around the TV, indulge in tasty snacks, and watch the two best football teams of the NFL season face off in the Super Bowl. While many tune in for the game, others look forward to the food, the creative and ever-changing commercials, or, in my case, the Halftime Show. This year’s performer is none other than Kendrick Lamar, and to say I’m excited to see him take the main stage would be an understatement.
The Super Bowl LIX Halftime show is already shaping up to be one for the books. Lamar has confirmed that SZA will be joining him on stage, and if previous Super Bowl performances are any indication, there might even be more surprise collaborations. (And just a heads up, the internet has an inkling that it may include Tyler, The Creator!)
After Lamar’s very public beef with Drake and the surprise release of his album GNX, the rapper seems to be doing a victory lap with his upcoming performance, which will surely be filled with great energy and amazing lyrics. As the excitement builds for the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show, one thing’s for sure: Lamar’s performance and lyrics are bound to steal the spotlight (at least for those of us who don’t necessarily follow football.)
If you’re looking to post on Instagram during the big game day, or any other day, frankly, here are 25 lyrics you can take from Lamar himself to give your posts some flair.
