For this song I used structure 4 as a guide(verse,chorus,verse,chorus). The 1st verse are measures 1-8, the 1st chorus are measures 9-16, the 2nd verse are measures 17-24, and the 2nd chorus are measures 25-32.
Interpreting Intent
The composer changed the tempo from somewhat slow to a fast beat and he does these changes through out the song, for instance during 00:44-01:00 you can see how the tempo changes. The dynamic of the song goes back and forth from being soft to going loud, during 01:50-02:02. The rhythm of the song would go back and forth going a medium pace to a fast pace, during 02:56-03:06. Looking at the music sheet you can see how the keys are changing from major to minor and vice versa, measures 24-27 showing the song going from major to minor. The writers were trying to express several emotions through out the song having it be happy in the beginning and turning it into a more serious feel while changing it back and forth.
In the beginning of the video before Gambino shoots the musician he does it in a pose resembling Jim Crow which were laws that kept African Americans to be segregated by the white people. Through out the video there is dancing while chaos is happening in the background this shows how in this stage of society people would ignore the bad stuff happening and focus only on the entertainment. The scene where they he shoots the church choir is a reference to a church shooting that happened back in 2015. When there would be a shooting in the video the is carried out of frame with caring while the dead bodies are dragged out of frame showing how some people care so much about protecting their laws they don't care on who the guns are being used on. There is a scene where people are shown recording the stuff that is happening this is obviously referring to how when there is something bad happening people always go to recording to whats happening instead of trying to help in the situation. In the background of one of the scenes there is a figure with a black hood on a horse this can be reference to Death, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, it can also show where America is heading the way things are going.

I made my own structure having it to be Intro, Chorus, Verse, Bridge, Verse, Chorus, Outro. I changed the tempo to make the song more chilling which is what the whole song, a song that is just meant to be listened when a someone just in a chilling mood. Every part is meant to give a nice cool mood.
