There is a beautiful allegory between verse one and two on Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst, by Kendrick Lamar.
Your friend is shot, and dies in your arms. The next morning, his brother calls you. He describes the moments leading up to his revenge.
His brother has a premonition. His time is limited. He asks you to sing about him when he dies. Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst is that song.
On his debut album, Section 80, Kendrick Lamar sings another song about the deceased. Keisha's Song (Her Pain) tells the story of a prostitute. It is raw, but Lamar passes judgement in the refrain.
In her heart, Keisha hates her work. She hides behind nihilism. Keisha dies at the end of the song.
In verse two of Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst, Keisha's sister speaks about Keisha's Song (Her Pain).
How dare you write a diss track about my dead sister?
Keisha's sister's lines are the verse criticizing the song. If one brother had survived, would he have the same grievances? Who is Kendrick Lamar to speak for the dead?
I love the paradox of verse two. A verse critiquing singing about the deceased, in a song about the deceased. Symmetric with verse one; A dialogue with a sibling of the deceased. Antisymmetric; The speaker does not want to be sung about.
