Lyrics Down 2 Sleep - Şevin

Down 2 Sleep

I loved you first and loved them next
I paid my dues I ain’t got no debts Lord I
I’m ready to come home (ready to come home)
I done preached your Word through the blood and tears
And I still believe after all these years Lord I
I’m ready to come home (ready to come home)
Now I lay me down to sleep
Purple flag folded deep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Yeshua they know the sheep
I dedicate this to the Mob
My family and my neighborhood
Elevated by the hand of God
Now I’m standing right where my hater stood
It wasn’t effortless but yes, success is feeling much better
Than anybody was saying it would
For I hang with the fake in the church
Do my thing in the dirt
My nigga I’ll stay in the hood it ain’t nothing
Reborn, reformed
And ready to handle whatever the business is
Strolling through where this sicknesses is
With a multitude of his witnesses so lets go
Used to bang for the blood game touched cane
Did a couple of things in the drug game
Thugs reign in the land where the slugs bang
Things change now I’m stained by the blood man
No regrets no apologies it doesn’t bother me
Because I been forgiven my nigga
I don’t play that man I’m saved
So I can’t hang where the graves at I’m living my nigga
Yea, running toward the mark of the high call
With a full clip and I’m gunning to the sky fall
I’m a sing his name until I die y’all
You going to see the flame in my eyeball?
Now I lay me down to sleep
Purple flag folded deep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Yeshua they know the sheep
Dear Lord I sick of all the dishonest practices taught us
Wicked hearts submitted to darkness cause pain
Like sniffing sawdust
But it’s a trip you saw this
Never thought I’d ever witness who God is
Now my only aim is to gain the fame that’s going to come
When my name is on the list of martyrs
To die is gain man but to live is Christ
The cross cost and I’m with the price I give my life
Pray to the Lord, face to the floor, and let the healer wash ya
No fear when Jesus gotcha bury me a mobster
Now I lay me down to sleep
Purple flag forty deep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Yeshua they know the sheep
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
If I am to live in the flesh,
that means fruitful labor for me.
Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell.
I am hard pressed between the two.
My desire is to depart and be with Christ,
for that is far better.
But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your
account.
Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all,
for your progress and joy in the faith, so that in me you may have ample cause
to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.
Only let your
manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and
see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one
spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,
and not frightened in anything by your opponents.
This is a clear sign to them
of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God.
For it has been
granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him
but also suffer for his sake
