The first verse of "Wacced Out Murals" focuses on the mixed reactions to Lamar’s announcement as the headliner for the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show. Lamar reflects on his disappointment with a lack of support from some artists. He also acknowledges his gratitude for positive recognition, notably from Nas, whom he praises for offering congratulations after his Super Bowl win.
In the second verse, Lamar addresses rapper Lil Wayne, who publicly expressed dissatisfaction with not being chosen to perform at the Super Bowl in his hometown of New Orleans, and sided with his artist Drake during his feud with Lamar. On the song he alludes to this tension with the line, “Used to bump The Carter 3, I held my Rollie chain proud. Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down.” Lil Wayne responded the same day writing on X: “Man wtf I do?!
I just be chillin & dey still kome 4 my head. Let’s not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction, not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love”.
The track also mentions Snoop Dogg, who shared the diss track by Drake, "Taylor Made," amidst their feud. Lamar references this event with the lines, “Snoop posted ‘Taylor Made,’ I pray it was the edibles. I couldn’t believe it, it’s only right for me to let it go.” Snoop responded the following day, writing on X: "K dot new album GNX 💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤 It was the edibles 🤦🏾 😆👊🏿 west west king 🔥🎶💫".
