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


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


My metropolitan a group of honor man,
We done wrote the book of kings we had the eye of Solomon
So, conscious inside but feeling so alive,

We turn back to the crowd and we're grateful for the following.
I spoke to my girl to sort our differences,
I never said I loved her but honestly I was never thinking it

Trying be mature because we're grown people,
but we're not equal this like David and Goliath we're the grown sequel.
A cracked teethed beast unleashed when you spoke my name,

I was a prick, no good
And your friends thought the same
There was me thinking that we could make it work,

but even If we 'valued love' then
What would it be worth
A life question, depression so fluent it was so stressing,

S.O.S within that SMS I sent
Get the message
Catch the hint you was like an atheist,

you never believed in me but to me you was so blessed.
Ironic. Gin and Tonic doesn't cover pain no more,
and a J. Cole track doesn't sound the same no more,

because can you call it a love song when the loves gone?
cuz love elevates into hate when it goes wrong.
Real talk.

No fabrication in this publication,
My auto-biography consists of only three pages
2 pages were all dedicated to you

The last page spoke about what I would do If I ever lost you
So, obsession may be a word but caught-up was better,
I seen the letter from Vanessa she said

It will get better
I raised a toast to that and stopped ringing her,
To the home of the visitor from the home of the inquisitor


Hook:


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


Niece deceased it hurt Third type degree burns,
Burnt through to my heart and made me see Church
Made me see life from different perspectives, angles

So, when the tables turned Irony kicked in
when Karma got what it deserved.
Monotone flow to go with a monotone heart rate,

Couple tears to try and cope with the heart break,
For her sake
Don't let her see this

A prayer to God once I pleaded,
To give her wings a halo and family to be with
Did it work?

My time here will be shortly lived,
I just want my presence to disappear so show me The Grinch.
I'm out of my Character then I fell off my Stamina,

You was sat upon that Pedestal then that damaged Ya'.
All smiles then blood, sweat, tears,
We had to commandeer with fears, thoughts,

that you wouldn't make it here..And we was right,
but we hoped to be wrong,
Honestly, I never wanted to dedicate you a song, but it's here..
When the Nurse said you died, I died as well,
but I'm still alive so I guess I'm living in hell

And when your Mother told me man It was over the phone,
she said Dan I need you with me cuz' I'm feeling alone
I broke down crying, Isolated on an island,
Infested with demons, shadows and titans who took a liking
To pain..with nothing to gain, but I still sat beside her,

As you took one last look at those baby names
You changed and I changed with ya',
We still miss ya' and still drop tears when we see your baby picture.
With two hands clutching my heart I look to the stars,
find the brightest glowing one and sing you a song

Cheesy to say and Cliché to know,
Over-thrown with the constant heart ache I've never known.
Never felt
You never grown,
Lied to myself

Let the truth be told.
I loved you before you arrived I never wanted you to go,
But I guess that's how the story goes.

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
