One Night You |
If only for one night, he |
Could escape his life, he |
Gladly take that flight, he |
Finally get a night’s sleep, see |
If only for one night, he |
Could escape his life, he |
Gladly take that flight, he |
Finally get a night’s sleep |
If only for one night he could leave |
If only for one night… |
He heard his momma cry last Tuesday |
Heard a victim momma cry last Monday |
It’s like any day in the hood could be your doomsday |
So he vowed that he’d make it out one day |
Old man up the block said, «Son, pray» |
Would go to church, but it was shot up last Sunday |
In his hood where he lived, it was not a game |
Even though there was plenty of gunplay |
Young age, barely legal, trapped in a maze, trynna parry evil |
Can’t sleep, he gets awakened to a sound of a bird |
Not talking about a rooster, but a Desert Eagle |
If only for one night, he could rest in peace |
Without hearing that someone from his block 'Rest In Peace' |
Or waking up house empty because of an effing thief |
So much stress, it seems it’s not even best to sleep |
He may not awake, he might have a wake |
Want a piece of the pie but can’t have a taste |
Life working him hard, no lunch, can’t have a break |
Feelin' outta place, even in his place |
The grounds that he walk on are very shaky |
And the Earth doesn’t even really need to quake |
He seen a homicide last Thursday |
A ho fucked in the alley last Hump Day |
A normal Friday, for him would be your worst day |
So he vowed that he’d make it out someday |
He tries, and tries, and tries to have some faith |
But it’s like he running the wrong way down the one way |
At night, with blinding headlights in his eyes |
Every car he’s trynna dodge but it seems won’t none break |
Cause his life is just as unsafe, hombre |
No umbrella, but so much rain |
No sunny days, it’s like the Sun’s on break |
He 'bout to go off like his lights that’s unpaid |
All he hear is helicopters, sirens of hella coppers |
The screams of the future patients of several doctors |
Cries of all the babies being neglected |
All because the mother didn’t like to have sex protected |
And the yelling of little rebellious hellion fellas who felons |
Because they fell in with the wrong crowd |
Now they’re falling and failing all because they hailing from somewhere hellish |
Life is hell and a bitch, he call her Helen |
He be telling Helen, he don’t wanna stress |
Like a cop who won’t cuff you, he won’t arrest |
The other night he tried to close his eyes |
But as usual, his pops stumbled in a drunken mess |
Reeking of Hennessy, speaking obscenities |
Showing his true evil identity, yelling at his moms |
He can hear the screaming off in his sleep |
So he reached for the semi piece |
Cause he’s tired of him beating her seemingly endlessly |
Feeling like, «With this piece, I’ll finally get some peace» |
Though life has given me, fam 'gon play the enemy |
So it’s gonna be the end of him or it’s the end of me |
Cause all this rage and anger that live in me, he finna see |
Then I’m a ask God to deliver me, give a nigga some sympathy |
Don’t let the judge sentence me or cops get a grip on me |
The hood’s already imprisoned me |
Somewhere secluded, I flee for serenity |
Hoping that one day, mom would have forgiven me |
And nobody would remember me |
But hopefully I get some sleep for just at least… |
One night, one night, ohh ohhh, to you |
(Hopefully I get some sleep for just at least) |
One night, one night, ohh ohhh, to you |
