Kendrick Lamar - Sing About Me, I’m Dying Of Thirst
  • When the lights shut off
  • And its my turn to settle down
  • My main concern
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • I said when the lights shut off
  • And its my turn to settle down
  • My main concern
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • I woke up this morning and figured I'd call you
  • In case I'm not here tomorrow
  • I'm hoping that I can borrow a piece of mind
  • I'm behind on what's really important
  • My mind is really distorted
  • I find nothing but trouble in my life
  • I'm fortunate you believe in a dream
  • This orphanage we call a ghetto is quite a routine
  • And last night was just another distraction
  • Or a reaction of what we consider madness
  • I know exactly what happened
  • You ran outside when you heard my brother cry for help
  • Held him like a newborn baby and made him feel
  • Like everything was alright
  • And a fight he tried to put up, but the type
  • Of bullet that stuck had went against his will
  • As blood spilled on your hands
  • My plans rather vindictive
  • Everybody's a victim in my eyes
  • When I ride it's a murderous rhythm
  • And outside became pitch black
  • A demon glued to my back whispering, ”Get em”
  • I got em, and I ain't give a fuck
  • That same mentality I told my brother not to duck
  • In actuality it's a trip how we trip off of colors
  • I wonder if I'll ever discover
  • A passion like you and recover
  • The life that I knew as a young'n
  • In pajamas and Dun-ta-duns
  • When thunder comes it rains cats and dogs
  • Dumb niggas like me never prosper
  • Prognosis of a problem child
  • I'm proud and well devoted
  • This piru shit been in me forever
  • So forever I'mma push it, wherever whenever
  • And I love you cause you love my brother like you did
  • Just promise me you'll tell this story when you make it big
  • And if I die before your album drop I hope –
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • I said when the lights shut off
  • And its my turn to settle down
  • My main concern
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • You wrote a song about my sister on your tape
  • And called it section .80, the message resemble Brenda's Got a Baby
  • Whats crazy was, I was hearin about it
  • But doubted your ignorance, how could you ever
  • Just put her on blast and shit
  • Judging her past and shit
  • Well it's completely my future
  • A nigga behind me right now asking for ass and shit
  • And I'mma need that 40 dollars even if I gotta
  • Fuck, suck and swallow in the parking lot
  • Gonzales Park, I'm followed by a married man, a father of three
  • My titties bounce on the cadence of his tingling keys
  • Matter of fact he my favorite cause he tip me with E's
  • He got a cousin named David and I seen him last week
  • This is the life of another girl damaged by the system
  • These foster homes, I run away and never do miss em
  • See, my hormones just run away and if I can get em back
  • To where they used to be then I'll probably be in the denim
  • Of a family gene that show women how to be woman, or better yet a leader
  • You need her to learn something, then you probably need to beat her
  • That's how I was taught
  • Three niggas in one room, first time I was tossed
  • And I'm exhausted
  • But fuck that ”Sorry for your loss shit”
  • My sister died in vain, but what point are you trying to gain
  • If you can't fit the pumps I walk in?
  • I'll wait
  • Your rebuttal a little too late
  • And if you have a album date, just make sure I'm not in the song
  • Cause I don't need the attention bring enough of that on my own
  • And matter fact did I mention that I physically feel great?
  • A doctor's approval is a waste of time, I know I'm straight
  • I'll probably live longer than you and never fade away
  • I'll never fade away, I'll never fade away
  • I know my fate, and I'm on the grind for this cake
  • I'mma get or die trying, I'm eyeing every male gender with intentions of buying
  • You lying to these motherfuckers, talking about you can help with my story
  • You can help me if you sell this pussy for me, nigga
  • Don't ignore me nigga where the fuck is u going nigga, this bullshit…
  • When the lights shut off
  • And its my turn to settle down
  • My main concern
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • I said when the lights shut off
  • And its my turn to settle down
  • My main concern
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • Sometimes I look in a mirror and ask myself
  • Am I really scared of passing away
  • If it's today I hope I hear a
  • Cry out from heaven so loud it can water down a demon
  • With the holy ghost till it drown in the blood of Jesus
  • I wrote some raps that make sure that my lifeline
  • Rake in the cent of a reaper, ensuring that my allegiance
  • With the other side may come soon
  • And if I'm doomed, may the wound
  • Help me mother be blessed for many moons
  • I suffer a lot
  • And every day the glass mirror get tougher to watch
  • I tie my stomach in knots
  • And I'm sure not why I'm infatuated with death
  • My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats
  • That can come about
  • Cause the tongue is mighty powerful
  • And I can name a list of your favorites that probably vouch
  • Maybe cause I'm dreamer and sleep is the cousin of death
  • Really stuck in the scheme of, wondering whem I'mma rest
  • And you're right, your brother was a brother to me
  • And your sister's situation was the one that put me
  • In a direction to speak of something that's realer than the TV screen
  • By any means, wasn't trying to offend or come between
  • Her personal life, I was like ”it need to be told
  • Cursing the life of 20 generations after her” so
  • Exactly would have happened if I hadn't continued rappin
  • Or steady being distracted by money drugs and four
  • Fives, I count lives all on these songs
  • Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you'll be strong
  • Fighting for your rights, even when you're wrong
  • And hope that at least one of you sing about me when I'm gone
  • Now am I worth it?
  • Did I put enough work in?
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • I said when the lights shut off
  • And its my turn to settle down
  • My main concern
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • Promise that you will sing about me
  • (Dying of Thirst)
  • Tired of running
  • Tired of hunting
  • My own kind
  • But retiring nothing
  • Tires are steady screeching, the driver is rubbing
  • Hands on the wheel, who said we buzzing?
  • Dying of thirst
  • Dying of thirst
  • Dying of thirst
  • Dope on the corner
  • Look at the coronoer
  • Daughter is dead
  • Mother is mourning her
  • Strayed bullets, AK bullets
  • Resuscitation was waiting patiently
  • But they couldn't, bring her back
  • Who got the footage? channel 9
  • Cameras lookin, it's hard to channel your energy
  • When you know you're crooked
  • Banana clip split his banana pudding
  • I'm like Tre, that's Cuba Gooding
  • I know I'm good at
  • Dying of thirst
  • Dying of thirst
  • Dying of thirst
  • How many sins?
  • I'm running out
  • How many sins?
  • I lost count
  • Dreams are balled in like Spaulding
  • But only shotty bounce
  • The reaper calling
  • I'm cottonmouth
  • Money is power, yours is ours
  • Lay with a snitch, die with a coward
  • Hope we get rich, hope we can tower
  • Over the city with vanity with the music louder
  • The same song
  • A black flower
  • I'll show you how to
  • Dye your thirst
  • Dye your thirst
  • Dye your thirst
  • What are we doing?
  • Who are we fooling?
  • Hell is hot, fire is proven
  • To burn for eternity, return of the student
  • That never learned how to live right just by how to shoot it
  • Tired of running, choirs is humming
  • Tell us to visit, we lying about coming
  • Now back to business, loading the guns in
  • Back of the Buick, your hood is viewed
  • And the beef is bubbling
  • It's no discussion, hereditary
  • All of my cousins
  • Dying of thirst
  • Dying of thirst
  • Dying of thirst
  • Too many sins
  • I'm running out
  • Somebody sinned
  • Me a wealth of the draught
  • See, all I know, is taking notes
  • On taking this life for granted
  • Granted, if he provoke
  • My best days, I stress days (Lord forgive me for all my sins for I not know…)
  • My best days, I stress days
  • Say ”Fuck the world,” my sex slave
  • Money, pussy and greed was my next crave
  • Whatever it is, know its next grave
  • Tired of running, tired of running
  • Tired of tumbling, tired of running
  • Tired of tumbling
  • Back once my momma say
  • “See a pastor, give me a promise
  • What if today was the rapture, and you completely tarnished
  • The truth will set you free, so to me be completely honest
  • You dying of thirst
  • You dying of thirst
  • So hop in that water, and pray that it works”
