In 2004, The Game was at the top of the rap game KL and his friends were only selling their mixtapes in swap meets at the time. Jayceon Taylor, better known as The Game, is the second person KL was envious of growing up. Afflalo had success on the basketball court and in the classroom, making his dreams become a reality while KL and friends were wallowing in their sorrows. Afflalo and KL went to Centennial High School together. The first example is Arron Afflalo, a shooting guard for the Orlando Magic. In the beginning of the track, KL discusses his jealousy of people who were able to make it out the hood he uses two well-known examples of guys who made it out of Compton. They both suggest that KL turns this negative event into something that fuels his music. The skit at the end of the track is KL's mother and father apologizing for his friend being killed.
He hopes through his music the degenerate, often overlooked youth will learn from his mistakes and make enlightened decisions. He makes his music in order to give back to his community. KL leaves listeners with a message, "Sing my song, it's all for you". On the last verse, he explains that he loves all people because everyone has something to offer. In the first verse KL is referring to a vanity slave to whom he is attracted and the second verse he talks about the love he has for a friend of his. KL uses the Terrace Martin production to make clever play on words by repeating Plan A, B, and C throughout the song but each verse he describes the three options as something else.

After saying the prayer, KL feels free from the troubles that haunt him the prayer helps KL focus on what is important in his life. This song rejoices KL's realization that loving yourself and being real is one of the most important things you can do in life. KL finishes up verse three as himself, apologizing for offending anyone and hoping that people will sing about him after he is gone he rhymes with gusto not to please anyone, but to tell the stories of those whose voices cannot be heard. She's overconfident and feels she will never fade away, yet by way of dramatic irony, her verse fades out. She seems stubborn and unwilling to accept that there is another way of life for her outside of prostituting herself. ("Keisha's Song " off KL's indie titan, Section.80, KL tells the story of Keisha, a prostitute he grew up with in Compton sadly, she was raped and killed.) Keisha's sister is now confronting KL for putting Keisha's business on blast. On verse two, KL channels Keisha's sister. The gangster is unable to finish the verse he is killed before finishing his message. The gang member offers a positive message to KL by praising him for believing in something bigger than the Compton lifestyle, having a passion that allows him to make it through. The first verse is told from a perspective of a gangbanger who only finds trouble in life. The "Sing About Me" portion of the song deals with people wanting their stories to live on regardless of their lifestyles it is told from three perspectives. It represents the change in how KL approached rap and life in general. This 12 minute, two-part track is the realest song on the album.
