    The beat is a hypnotic jazzy snare pattern meant to create an unsettled sense of regularity and normalcy to the chaos in the hood. The fact that we’re all vibing to the instrumental almost hides the fact that this song is literally about the death of a close friend and his final request to Kendrick to keep him alive through his art.

    I remember listening to this album when it first released and this was my favorite song on there because it was a continuation of Keisha's Song. Then when he gets to the brother and the gunshots popped off, I almost teared up because I had become attached to the narrative. Even listening to this instrumental and hearing just the sound brings up that memory.

    [Verse 1]
    I woke up this morning and figured I'd call you
    In case I'm not here tomorrow
    I'm hopin' 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 in a fight he tried to put up
    But the type of bullet that stuck
    Had went against his will, that's blood spilled on your hands
    My plan's 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 youngin
    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'ma 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- [Gunshots]

    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'ma 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- [Gunshots]
    [Chorus]
    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
    [Verse 2]
    You wrote a song about my sister on your tape
    And called it Section.80
    The message resembled "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?
    Judgin' her past and shit?
    Well, it's completely my future
    Her nigga behind me right now askin' for ass and shit
    And I'ma need that forty dollars
    Even if I got to fuck, suck and swallow
    In the parking lot, Gonzales Park, I'm followed
    By a married man, and father of three
    My titties bounce on the cadence of his tinklin' 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 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 fuck that "Sorry for your loss" shit
    My sister died in vain, but what point are you tryna 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'ma get it or die tryin'
    I'm eyein' every male gender with intentions of buyin'
    You lyin' to these motherfuckers
    Talkin' about you can help 'em with my story
    You can help me if you sell this pussy for me, nigga
    Don't ignore me, nigga, fuck your glory, nigga, you ain't shit...
    [Chorus]
    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
    [Verse 3]
    Sometimes I look in the mirror
    And ask myself: Am I really scared of passin' 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 made sure that my lifeline reekin'
    The scent of a reaper, ensurin' that my allegiance
    With the other side may come soon, and if I'm doomed
    May the womb of my mother be blessed for many moons
    I suffer a lot
    And every day that 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'ma 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 on somethin'
    That's realer than the TV screen
    By any means, wasn't tryin' to offend or come between
    Her personal life, I was like "It need to be told"
    Cursin' the life of twenty generations after her soul
    Exactly what'd happen if I ain't continue rappin'
    Or steady bein' distracted by money, drugs and 4-5's
    I count lives, all on these songs
    Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you'll be strong
    Fightin' 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?
    [Chorus]
    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
    [Outro]
    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
    Promise that you'll sing about me forever
    Promise that you'll sing about me for- ooooh

    My intuition is
    Reinvention - kie
    Reinvention within my head
    Opening up newer gates
    God is 0guiding me to have stronger faith
    But first I need to change my mental state
    reciprocate the demons in my head
    Driving the merc but first you gotta remove the curse
    We're all one Tryna be loved
    Using colours to cover up my hurt
    Going deep within my feelings I sink
    Ppl be thinkin
    Ppl be seeking
    Different things,
    I wanna rise above from the pain
    I wanna express myself without having hate
    beauty in her eyes shows the pain from her darker nights
    Let's just rise above
    embrace the curve
    Open up your arms to those ppl who still have hate
    Rumours going around like plates passing around
    Just tryna stay on the ground
    Are you consumed by the crown
    Who are you gonna surround yourself with, you are who you mix with
    I don't brag about getting laid
    Send help she said before fades
    Let's just communicate
    Walking your path,
    nobody said it won't be tough
    Constant swipe of never ending lies
    Water your mind, you're saving your time
    Stop asking her, will ever you be mine
    Take the time, to improve what's not fine
    Stop the rewind
    What's the point of suffering your mind
    I get it she's a nine
    But is she really that divine
    gotta refine your design
    what are u tryna fix
    Inhaling so many different kind of vicks
    Expressing yourself doesn't mean that you're weak
    Just means you're embracing what cannot be fixed
    Storytelling in disguise
    Soreading love like it's a franchise
    Stop depending on people when you're sad
    Don't be mad
    I'm not done yet
    Tryna act bold but lowkey afraid of the unknown
    Don't call me back, I ain't gonna pick up my phone
    Stop telling me that you're alone
    You're gonna leave earth with a single soul
    You've been acting pretty cold
    I've been feeling pretty low
    Why can't we just go with the flow
    Tryna give out my love but bailing when the path is so blur
    Tryna stay in love
    but this is making me deter
    when can we ever concur
    good days are gonna occur
    Just stop drinking that liquor
    That shit will make u suffer
    Don't stay on the same spot
    Move on from the battles that you've once fought
    Don't let your sexual drive interfere with your inner life
    When time is right
    Go full out that night
    We gotta stop this fight
    Have a piece of my mind
    honesty over everything
    It's not the things we say but the way we portray

  • @Bane3472
    @Bane3472 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The greatest artist have given you joy from the pain they have experienced
    They have given you an abstract image
    of the feelings that they feel is vivid
    They create characters and actors that are larger than life
    They are small, bitter and timid
    They can only channel the things that they cannot admit
    To themselves, they translate seamlessly through another person soul
    They can only emit, but cannot absorb the light in their deep dark hole
    People like Hemmingway, Shakespeare and others can only know
    This burden, I am burdened
    And saddened by this never changing pattern
    If I cannot express this passion
    I feel there is something in my life that I am lacking
    I am drawn to pain
    I am drawn to people believing that I am insane
    If your brain believes it is crazed what’s to stop it from thinking that way
    The addictions just allow this addiction to live a life of fiction
    While someone else has to bare living his life in omission
    Sometimes I wonder if I am blessed
    My mom believes in God a 110%
    I think she loves Him more than me
    I don’t blame her though, I know where she is coming from
    She believes He completely believes in me
    Even if I don’t believe in myself
    He will always help me if I am need
    I’ve been seeing images of a clown
    A tear streaming down its face
    Removing the paint as it amplifies his pain
    But you just see a small glimpse of his skin
    I wonder if that has meaning
    The crooked smile looks broken
    But the fact that he is trying
    Atleast justifies that in a panchromatic portrait
    You can still see the bright sight

      brother. I'm going to be as honest as possible right now. What you're doing may seem like some Get Rich or Die Tryin' shit, but it will not work. Girls will only like that shit if it's from who's successful in music already. You're being a little too emotional, and if there's something that girls absolutely do not want, it's being too emotional.
      That being said -- good luck.

    When you think about me, are they positive/
    Can I think back on the days that we had time to live/
    And replay the memories where it was love to give/
    And while I think back on it all it feels so counterfeit/
    Illusions of Grandeur that I'm encountering/
    A road trip down memory lane you could count me in/
    Will this adventure be everything that I doubt it is/
    Or will I end up on a path that leaves me powerless/
    Was I really there or was it all imagination/
    I can think of feels but cannot fathom their creation/
    Counting down the hours can't connect the days of waiting/
    And when I sit and reminisce can't stand to weigh my patience/
    But these thoughts will make me famous/
    Pouring out my brain so that these verses can be dated/
    But as I sit in sickness does it mask my words in tainted/
    Visions or is it true that my passion's too contagious/
    Try to skip those days in Vegas,/
    The land of distant memories and dreams of those who've wasted/
    Dolla after dolla just to get their mindstream faded/
    But in this day and age is it wrong of me to blame em/
    I'll pop the pill but won't swallow/
    So much on mind but the rest of me hollow/
    Don't trust my own decisions put my faith into a bottle/
    Fail this test of life even though I know that a lot will/
    Passing up experience to build the love I fondle/
    Seen too many deaths, off to buy another laurel/
    If I had only hope to borrow/
    Would it be my life dream to drown down all my sorrows/
    Buy a round of shots and try to usher in tomorrow/
    It's a sad reality such a merry dream we follow/

    i see a life evolving, lookin at my daughter peekin, eye's slightly open, when she really should be sleeping/ mind frozen/ something's stopping my mouth from speaking/ hearin the words Da Da/ softly spoken wit arms reaching / in a motion for me to hold her in total freedom/ who needs a reason for feeling this kind a whole completion/ I know my roll is teaching/ i hope we grow & deepen/ to be the father figure she can put her soul belief in/
    and if she sing about me it will be a song of seasons.Q

      It's not like we hear this type of hip hop on the radio anyways. There's no way to put these poems to a trap song. It wouldn't even match some of rappers personas anyways. They're main concern is money, cars, weed, and bitches. I don't see that coming from these poems these brothers are trying to share, the struggle ain't nobody trying to hear. The truth, the real.......you tell me, just lend us an ear.

    Sometimes I look in the mirror
    And ask myself: Am I really scared of passin' 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 made sure that my lifeline reekin'
    The scent of a reaper, ensurin' that my allegiance
    With the other side may come soon, and if I'm doomed
    May the womb of my mother be blessed for many moons
    I suffer a lot
    And every day that 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'ma 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 on somethin'
    That's realer than the TV screen
    By any means, wasn't tryin' to offend or come between
    Her personal life, I was like "It need to be told"
    Cursin' the life of twenty generations after her soul
    Exactly what'd happen if I ain't continue rappin'
    Or steady bein' distracted by money, drugs and 4-5's
    I count lives, all on these songs
    Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you'll be strong
    Fightin' 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?

    Coming from the light realm, flight form is inner being/

    high fly wi fi as ravens watch time fly/
    serenades of stars as we watch riders on the night sky/
    memories lost as love leaves begin to fall/
    veins in the leaves as smoke and sin covers all/
    can't feel my face again sinning in dream/
    she haunts all memories as a face smiles with a scream/
    scene ends cinematic watching time go serene/
    just another memory in a museum of broken dreams/
