When the lights shut off
And it's 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 it's 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 peace 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 f**k
That same mentality that 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 sh*t 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 it's 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
Resembled "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 sh*t
Judging her past and sh*t
Well it's completely my future
Her ni**a behind me right
Now asking for a** and sh*t
And I'mma need that 40 dollars
Even if I gotta
F**k 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 women
Or better yet a leader
You need her to learn somethin'
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 f**k that
"Sorry for your loss" sh*t
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 motherf**kers
Talking about you can help 'em
With my story you can help me
If you sell this p**sy for me ni**a
Don't ignore me ni**a f**k your glory ni**a
When the lights shut off
And it's 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 it's 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 'til it
Drown in the blood of Jesus
I wrote some raps that make
Sure that my lifeline
Reeking the scent of a reaper
Ensuring that my allegiance
With the other side may come soon
And if I'm doomed
May the wound help my 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 not sure 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 a dreamer
And sleep is the cousin of death
Really stuck in the schema
Of wonderin' when I'mma rest
And you're right your brother
Was a brother to me
And your sister's situation
Was the one that pulled 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 twenty
Generations after her soul
Exactly what'd happen if
I ain't continued rappin'
Or steady being distracted
By money *** 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
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 it's my turn to settle down
My main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you'll sing about me forever
Promise that you'll sing about me for-ooooh
Promise that you'll sing about me forever
Promise that you'll sing about me for-ooooh
Promise that you'll sing about me forever
Promise that you'll sing about me for-ooooh
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 wasn't
Dying of thirst dying of thirst dying of thirst
D**e on the corner look at the coroner
Daughter is dead mother is mournin' her
Strayed bullets AK bullets
Resuscitation was waiting
Patiently but they couldn't
Bring her back who got the footage
Channel 9 cameras is looking
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 of balling like Spalding
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 righteous
But how to shoot it
Tired of running choirs is hummin'
Tell us to visit we lying 'bout comin'
Now back to business loading the guns in
Back of the Buick your hood is feuding
And the beef is bubblin'
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 send me a well for the drought
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 "F**k the world "my sex slave
Money p**sy and greed;
What's my next crave
Whatever it is
Know it's my 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"
