On "The Bird", Oxnard native Anderson .Paak croons over simplistic but beautiful production.
.Paak sings of hardships of his youth, including his mother’s gambling problem and father’s absence. Despite these struggles, Anderson promises he will continue on the path of righteousness until he reaches the top.
"My mom was a farmer. She was born in South Korea and was adopted in the ’50s. They moved to Compton in the ’60s, and that’s where she grew up, in the South Central area. Then she moved to Oxnard where she had my two older sisters and my little sister and me. She never finished college, but she got into produce."
