Derived from the song “Sing About Me, Im Dying of Thirst” from
Kendrick Lamar’s album good kid, m.A.A.d city. The song “Sing About me, Im Dying of Thirst” is two different songs on the same titled track, but holds two different stories. The first part in the song “Sing about me” Kendrick tells the story of losing his family over gang violence in Compton,
California ( his brother) and trying to keep his brothers name alive by simply “singing about him”. The second part witch was followed by a interlude of dialogue we’re friends of Kendrick were seeking vengeance for what they did to his family hence “dying of thirst”. At the end of the song there is more dialogue where young men come into contact with an elderly woman ( more or less on the
religious side). The elderly woman sees what’s going on and the anger in the atmosphere, and sees that the young men are carrying weaponry seeking to set out vengeance on the people that took their brother, the woman goes on to say that she’s understands what they’re feeling and that they should rethink their decisions and the
unfortunate outcome and possibly being placed in a
never ending system. The elderly woman say “ your dying of thirst” and then leads them in a prayer hoping that they will continue in the right direction the good lord intended even though they are hurting.
