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 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?
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 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 resemble Brenda’s Got a Baby
What's 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
Cause I was? And 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 family jean that you’re wearing
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 my 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…
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 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 why I’m infatuated with death
My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats
That can come about
Because the tongue is mighty powerful
And I can name a list of your favorites that probably vouch
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
