Think About Me
CalenRaps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I was your age, I got sad. A lot.
I didn't come from such a great home, but one day, I started running,
And that seemed to make sense, so then I just kept running.
When you get sad, you run straight ahead and you keep running forward,
No matter what. There are people in your life who are gonna try to
Hold you back, slow you down, but you don't let them.
Behind you there's nothing for you.
Behind you all that exists is what's ahead

I know you won't listen, but bro please get off the drugs
Cause they can't get you high enough
Tell me do you think about me?
Think about me
Think about me, do ya?
I just wanna know what be racing through your mind
When you be faded all the time
Tell me do you think about me?
Think about me
Think about me, do ya?

I've seen your path of destruction
I try to have a discussion, but our last one did nothing
You trapped by the substance
Leading the lapses in judgment
And half of you loves it, but half of you is fucking disgusted
You drunk, you druggie, you junkie
To put this shit bluntly
You hit my phone once on the monthly to get some more money
I give it to you 'cause I can't see my nigga go hungry
Though there might not be nothing
Good to know, it's good to know something
We breathing, so keep believing this your path of survival
I hope that you can succeed in all your battles with rivals
And one day you'll be the reason that I'm cracking a smile
I love to laugh 'cause I ain't laughed in a while

I know you won't listen, but bro please get off the drugs
Cause they can't get you high enough
Tell me do you think about me?
Think about me
Think about me, do ya?
I just wanna know what be racing through your mind
When you be faded all the time
Tell me do you think about me?




Think about me
Think about me, do ya?

Bro I’ve been listing to you for a while now and honestly I know probably 70 percent of your shit by heart. I’ve said it before but I just feel like you really need to know what kind of impact you have on someone’s life. Your my hero man! Listing to your music Is like being in church when your 18 and don’t know what your doing with your life. Overcome with a feeling that simply can’t be explained. I’m a 22 year old father, from Mount Vernon, Ohio. Your words are like a day of my life and I’ve never truly found that in music before. True definition of the word REAL. Don’t ever switch up man. Keep doing you. I can’t wait to see you up there one day.

Slayer Prime
