m.wade - sing about me lyrics
[intro]
or steady being 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
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?
[hook: kendrick lamar]
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 1: m.wade]
before you make it make this promise to me
that you tell my life story and how i gave you peace
peace of mind cause it was my situations giving you grief
my goals motivating you to become whatever you dreamed
this ain’t scripted, this real life
and as i eat this meal tonight
i pray to god and thank him that he kept me in the fight
i’ll never forget the time you had my back when i was jumped
in village knoll, where no one seemed to hear me or give a f-ck
it stuck with me
and all the other times we argued
i knew it was outta love
i could always depend on you
even being in school
it felt like it was only us two
especially being the new kids that no one wanted to talk to
you were there for my first audition
saw me being in good position
always had an open ear when no one else wanted to listen
even when i left college things weren’t the same
i couldn’t come home to no problems
and yeah we going through it
but that’s how we dealt with the pain
our baby brother always got into trouble
never listened to mom and dad and just adding to the struggle
we were all we had when we lived in that motel
could barely afford room service
i could tell you were going mad
this ain’t life for us, man just look at how they serve us
wanting that red light district lifestyle
who could a ho tell?
but that’s just a brother thing right?
make sure you mention me every time you try to sing right?
nothing could break us apart and we never made excuses
we never accepted trust cause we only learned to abuse it
life taught me a lot of lessons and i was never late to cl-ss
had to do more than just p-ss
and if i die before your signed i hope i –…
[hook]
[verse 2]
we met two years ago
i told my friends about you
what we had was beautiful
it was, i never doubted you
talked almost everyday and established a relationship
you were the only one for me i couldn’t have asked for a better gift
but being in different cities this love could never get me
but i knew what we had was real
i couldn’t wait for you to come and see me
but just like love, promises are sure to fade away
i waited; my feelings started dying cause i waited
how ironic is that?
the dog got tired of chasing the cat
everyday i’m asking myself like: “where is this n-gga at?
is he lying?” you don’t really love me
you said nothing comes above me
i’ve had dreams of you kissing on me and wanting to hug me
them other girls can’t be ugly
why’d you have to pick me?
there’s so many other girls in the world man what do you see in me?
n-ggas over tryna make moves
i’m in a state of apprehension
my brother told me i don’t need a man to successful i’m independent
relationships make me forget what it meant to be on my own
they’re only to have someone else when you hate feeling alone
i don’t need that and i think i’m starting to believe him
he always gives me good advice even when i f-cking deceive him
fact of the matter is, see i love you i really do
but things will never be the same now
i can only care for you
and you don’t have to come and see me
i’m sure i’ll be fine
yo malik, what’s yours is yours
and what’s mine will be mine
i’m sure, meeting someone like you, will be hard to find
but what if i’m different in person?
i’d rather not waste your time
i’d rather be safe than sorry
and what about all your glory?
no way they’ll ever accept you if you ever told this story
what if they just laugh at your attempts to win me back?
and i think that’s pretty selfish if you turn this into a track
this supposed to stay in private
i was getting so much mileage just from talking to you
now it’s hard to find someone to confide in
you stay stressing for my impression never second guessing
i’m still tryna learn a lesson
using that long distance sh-t as a message
i’m still tryna learn a lesson
i’m still tryna learn a lesson mo’f-cker…
[hook]
[verse 3]
but i find it cliche to make it
i’m hypocritical, and any chance i get know i’mma take it
i’ve only kept it real overtime i never faked it
my style is unique there’s a reason i never changed it
i paid commission with ambition
it’s tradition for rappers to make it and get lost in their positions
becoming puppets to the industry
a lot of people won’t let you breathe
we forget about our past and f-ck broads to keep our sanity
all the money in the world doesn’t bring happiness
people try to k!ll your career but they just pacifist
i’ll p-ss a fist to anybody who ain’t made for this
gave blood, sweat, and tears to the game and now i’m saving it
i’ve never asked for a lot–so i’m thinking i deserved it
all then some and yeah i’m winning with this income
the f-ck can you tell now that i made it this far?
no one was ever around to see my wounds turn into scars
i got drafted made the team and now i’m ready to ball
funny how they pick the phone up now when they see that i call
where was you at when you was needed
a bunch of messages deleted
never once care about the quarterback if it wasn’t you receiving
d-mn, there goes another friend
why the h-ll do things go wrong when you try to make amends?
was it all worth it? the hard work or was it just pretend?
just to fit into a place where they normally wouldn’t let you in?
if you didn’t have that speech, or rap differently from him
a lot of religious -ss christians who claimed they never sinned
where do i begin?
this just made me a better man
writing into the late nights like i’m david letterman
man i got a lot of issues
some of them against you
but when it’s all said and done i can’t say i won’t miss you
[hook]
[outro]
this goes out to my brothers
my mom and dad, yaritza, and myself
we making history
