Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst (Mixed) [NLV Presents: Ditching The Club At 3AM To Chill]

[Verse 1]

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 little too late

And if you have an 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' 'bout 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, bullshittin'

[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 2]

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 four-fives

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— ooh

Promise that you'll sing about me forever

Promise that you'll sing about me for— ooh

Promise that you'll sing about me forever

Promise that you'll sing about me for— ooh
