Lirik 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”
