[00:14.81]When the lights shut off
[00:15.81]And it's my turn to settle down
[00:18.18]My main concern
[00:19.57]Promise that you will sing about me
[00:22.33]Promise that you will sing about me
[00:25.32]I said when the lights shut off
[00:27.49]And it's my turn to settle down
[00:29.65]My main concern
[00:31.51]Promise that you will sing about me
[00:34.32]Promise that you will sing about me
[00:37.02]I woke up this morning and figured I'd call you
[00:40.39]In case I'm not here tomorrow
[00:41.85]I'm hoping that I can borrow a piece of mind
[00:43.56]I'm behind on what's really important
[00:45.53]My mind is really distorted
[00:47.11]I find nothing but trouble in my life
[00:49.24]I'm fortunate you believe in a dream
[00:51.41]This orphanage we call a ghetto is quite a routine
[00:54.23]And last night was just another distraction
[00:56.65]Or a reaction of what we consider madness
[00:59.02]I know exactly what happened
[01:00.52]You ran outside when you heard my brother cry for help
[01:02.84]Held him like a newborn baby and made him feel
[01:05.72]Like everything was alright
[01:07.53]And a fight he tried to put up, but the type
[01:09.35]Of bullet that stuck had went against his will
[01:11.73]As blood spilled on your hands
[01:13.18]My plans rather vindictive
[01:14.88]Everybody's a victim in my eyes
[01:17.26]When I ride it's a murderous rhythm
[01:19.28]And outside became pitch black
[01:21.15]A demon glued to my back whispering, "Get em"
[01:23.60]I got em, and I ain't give a *************
[01:25.53]That same mentality I told my brother not to duck
[01:27.78]In actuality it's a trip how we trip off of colors
[01:31.21]I wonder if I'll ever discover
[01:33.19]A passion like you and recover
[01:34.74]The life that I knew as a young'n
[01:36.76]In pajamas and Dun-ta-duns
[01:37.81]When thunder comes it rains cats and dogs
[01:40.92]Dumb *************s like me never prosper
[01:42.84]Prognosis of a problem child
[01:45.35]I'm proud and well devoted
[01:46.57]This piru *************t been in me forever
[01:49.41]So forever I'm a push it, wherever whenever
[01:52.34]And I love you cause you love my brother like you did
[01:55.01]Just promise me you'll tell this story when you make it big
[01:57.95]And if I die before your album drop I hope -
[02:00.51]Promise that you will sing about me
[02:06.49]Promise that you will sing about me
[02:09.50]I said when the lights shut off
[02:11.43]And it's my turn to settle down
[02:13.62]My main concern
[02:15.31]Promise that you will sing about me
[02:18.05]Promise that you will sing about me
[02:20.93]You wrote a song about my sister on your tape
[02:24.11]And called it section.80, the message resemble Brenda's Got a Baby
[02:27.02]What's crazy was, I was hearin about it
[02:29.04]But doubted your ignorance, how could you ever
[02:31.52]Just put her on blast and *************t
[02:33.17]Judging her past and *************t
[02:34.68]Well it's completely my future
[02:36.55]A ************* behind me right now asking for ass and *************t
[02:38.82]And I'm a need that 40 dollars even if I gotta
[02:41.77]*************, suck and swallow in the parking lot
[02:43.97]Gonzales Park, I'm followed by a married man, a father of three
[02:47.19]My ******* bounce on the cadence of his tingling keys
[02:49.41]Matter of fact he my favorite cause he tip me with E's
[02:52.62]He got a cousin named David and I seen him last week
[02:55.55]This is the life of another girl damaged by the system
[02:58.41]These foster homes, I run away and never do miss em
[03:01.52]See, my hormones just run away and if I can get em back
[03:04.92]To where they used to be then I'll probably be in the denim
[03:07.63]Of a family gene that show women how to be woman, or better yet a leader
[03:11.45]You need her to learn something, then you probably need to beat her
[03:14.67]That's how I was taught
[03:16.13]Three *************s in one room, first time I was tossed
[03:18.69]And I'm exhausted
[03:20.25]But ************* that "Sorry for your loss *************t"
[03:21.97]My sister died in vain, but what point are you trying to gain
[03:24.71]If you can't fit the pumps I walk in?
[03:26.48]I'll wait
[03:27.93]Your rebuttal a little too late
[03:30.73]And if you have a album date, just make sure I'm not in the song
[03:33.45]Cause I don't need the attention bring enough of that on my own
[03:35.91]And matter fact did I mention that I physically feel great?
[03:38.77]A doctor's approval is a waste of time, I know I'm straight
[03:41.75]I'll probably live longer than you and never fade away
[03:44.86]I'll never fade away, I'll never fade away
[03:46.51]I know my fate, and I'm on the grind for this cake
[03:49.12]I'm a get or die trying, I'm eyeing every male gender with intentions of buying
[03:53.41]You lying to these mother*******s, talking about you can help with my story
[03:56.52]You can help me if you sell this ************* for me, *************
[03:59.75]Don't ignore me *************, ************* your glory *************, this bull*************t...
[04:03.02]When the lights shut off
[04:06.53]And it's my turn to settle down
[04:08.82]My main concern
[04:10.47]Promise that you will sing about me
[04:13.25]Promise that you will sing about me
[04:15.96]I said when the lights shut off
[04:17.99]And it's my turn to settle down
[04:20.15]My main concern
[04:21.55]Promise that you will sing about me
[04:24.54]Promise that you will sing about me
[04:27.26]Sometimes I look in a mirror and ask myself
[04:30.72]Am I really scared of passing away
[04:32.37]If it's today I hope I hear a
[04:34.00]Cry out from heaven so loud it can water down a demon
[04:36.71]With the holy ghost till it drown in the blood of Jesus
[04:39.18]I wrote some raps that make sure that my lifeline
[04:42.65]Rake in the cent of a reaper, ensuring that my allegiance
[04:44.97]With the other side may come soon
[04:47.28]And if I'm doomed, may the wound
[04:48.89]Help me mother be blessed for many moons
[04:50.86]I suffer a lot
[04:52.68]And every day the glass mirror get tougher to watch
[04:54.69]I tie my stomach in knots
[04:56.81]And I'm sure not why I'm infatuated with death
[04:59.41]My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats
[05:02.39]That can come about
[05:03.45]Cause the tongue is mighty powerful
[05:05.36]And I can name a list of your favorites that probably vouch
[05:08.01]Maybe cause I'm dreamer and sleep is the cousin of death
[05:10.98]Really stuck in the scheme of, wondering when I'm a rest
[05:13.79]And you're right, your brother was a brother to me
[05:16.17]And your sister's situation was the one that put me
[05:18.99]In a direction to speak of something that's realer than the TV screen
[05:22.81]By any means, wasn't trying to offend or come between
[05:25.59]Her personal life, I was like "it need to be told
[05:28.37]Cursing the life of 20 generations after her soul"
[05:30.70]Exactly would have happened if I hadn't continued rappin
[05:34.47]Or steady being distracted by money drugs and four
[05:36.48]Fives, I count lives all on these songs
[05:39.80]Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you'll be strong
[05:42.71]Fighting for your rights, even when you're wrong
[05:46.04]And hope that at least one of you sing about me when I'm gone
[05:48.54]Now am I worth it?
[05:49.83]Did I put enough work in?
[05:53.50]Promise that you will sing about me
[05:56.55]Promise that you will sing about me
[05:59.39]I said when the lights shut off
[06:02.01]And it's my turn to settle down
[06:04.88]My main concern
[06:06.39]Promise that you will sing about me
[06:09.51]Promise that you will sing about me
[07:29.08]Tired of running
[07:30.33]Tired of hunting
[07:31.60]My own kind
[07:32.95]But retiring nothing
[07:34.37]Tires are steady screeching, the driver is rubbing
[07:36.94]Hands on the wheel, who said we wasn't?
[07:39.74]Dying of thirst
[07:41.41]Dying of thirst
[07:43.07]Dying of thirst
[07:44.33]**** on the corner
[07:45.76]Look at the coroner
[07:47.12]Daughter is dead
[07:48.54]Mother is mourning her
[07:50.34]Strayed bullets, AK bullets
[07:51.74]Resuscitation was waiting patiently
[07:54.62]But they couldn't, bring her back
[07:56.53]Who got the footage? channel 9
[07:58.19]Cameras looking, it's hard to channel your energy
[08:02.46]When you know you're crooked
[08:04.14]Banana clip split his banana pudding
[08:06.61]I'm like Tre, that's Cuba Gooding
[08:09.47]I know I'm good at
[08:11.04]Dying of thirst
[08:12.74]Dying of thirst
[08:14.01]Dying of thirst
[08:15.51]How many sins?
[08:17.33]I'm running out
[08:18.64]How many sins?
[08:20.27]I lost count
[08:21.60]Dreams of ballin like Spalding
[08:23.30]But only shotty bounce
[08:24.41]The reaper calling
[08:25.73]I'm cottonmouth
[08:27.40]Money is power, yours is ours
[08:29.66]Lay with a snitch, die with a coward
[08:32.23]Hope we get rich, hope we can tower
[08:36.21]Over the city with vanity with the music louder
[08:38.37]The same song
[08:40.09]A black flower
[08:41.55]I'll show you how to
[08:42.92]Dye your thirst
[08:44.32]Dye your thirst
[08:45.98]Dye your thirst
[08:47.08]What are we doing?
[08:48.63]Who are we fooling?
[08:50.05]Hell is hot, fire is proven
[08:52.47]To burn for eternity, return of the student
[08:55.43]That never learned how to live righteous but how to shoot it
[08:58.31]Tired of running, choirs is humming
[09:00.96]Tell us to visit, we lying about coming
[09:03.93]Now back to business, loading the guns in
[09:06.85]Back of the Buick, your hood is feuding
[09:09.01]And the beef is bubbling
[09:10.07]It's no discussion, hereditary
[09:12.30]All of my cousins
[09:14.16]Dying of thirst
[09:15.77]Dying of thirst
[09:16.93]Dying of thirst
[09:18.55]Too many sins
[09:20.15]I'm running out
[09:21.37]Somebody send
[09:22.72]Me a well for the drought
[09:24.02]See, all I know, is taking notes
[09:26.74]On taking this life for granted
[09:28.50]Granted, if he provoke
[09:29.90]My best days, I stress days (Lord forgive me for all my sins for I not know...)
[09:33.83]My best days, I stress days
[09:36.00]Say "************* the world, " my *** slave
[09:39.81]Money, ************* and greed what's my next crave
[09:42.37]Whatever it is, know it's my next grave
[09:45.23]Tired of running, tired of running
[09:48.10]I'm tired of tumbling, tired of running
[09:50.66]I'm tired of tumbling
[09:52.47]Backwards my mama say
[09:53.73]"See a pastor, give me a promise
[09:54.80]What if today was the rapture, and you completely tarnished
[09:58.15]The truth will set you free, so to me be completely honest
[10:00.67]You dying of thirst
[10:02.39]You dying of thirst
[10:04.10]So hop in that water, and pray that it works"
