Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of T...by Kendrick Lamar

This is one of the deepest, most personal tracks on Good Kid, M.A.A.d City. "Just life, in general, is the meaning behind it," Lamar explained. "It's a certain situation that I had to go through; I had to bump my head a few times to know what I had to do to get back right." -- The video was directed by Darren Romanelli, who also helmed Wilco's Popeye-starring animated clip for "Dawned on Me." The visual finds Lamar reflecting on his life as he rolls slowly through the streets of Compton whilst graffiti artist Eddie Peake creates a mural using lyrics from the song.: www.youtube.com From his brilliant 2012 major label debut studio album 'Good Kid, M.A.A.D City'.
