That's parallelism. Which is a technique plenty of high schoolers don't use let alone college kids. [b]Just because lyrics have simple words doesn't mean the lyrics themselves are simple.

Yeah, this. Actually break down the techniques he’s using, his subtext, the central point of the song, and the phrasing and you will see that Kendrick isn’t actually lacking technical ability [or objectively bad within his medium].
