Now I Lay |
| Uh, pump it up, you came to get it crunk |
| A dame to get her drunk, you came to get it on That’s when it all got started (I mean) |
| Back then I wasn’t so cold-hearted (c'mon) |
| With every stanza came an extravaganza |
| For every question he got one less answer |
| I was tryin to be more than cool |
| Now it was before that, maybe boardin school |
| That was back when I would wanna danger myself |
| Maybe it was just to entertain myself |
| I don’t need help, I could change myself |
| Fuck y’all, I ain’t gotta explain myself |
| Just around the corner, I can hear footsteps |
| Then we can get on the only nigga in the hood left |
| So child that ain’t listenin ain’t mine |
| For 28 years been a prisoner of the mind am I Now I lay me down to sleep |
| (And I) I pray the Lord my soul to keep |
| (If I) If I should die before I wake |
| (Then what?) I pray the Lord my soul to take |
| (I mean) Now I lay me down to sleep |
| (And I) I pray the Lord my soul to keep |
| (If I) If I should die before I wake |
| I pray the Lord my soul to take |
| Look, welcome everybody into greater of self but claim center |
| Even when he can win that nigga won’t surrender |
| Bull’s fault, put the wheels in motion |
| I felt every emotion except devotion |
| Message in a bottle in the bottom of the ocean |
| But I can’t swim, damnit I can’t win, uh So I don’t care how you rate me It’ll take a long time to evaluate me So if, this be the last time you hear me (nigga) |
| Just know I got a loved one near me (nigga) |
| Please don’t cry, let her eye get teary |
| A nigga good, finally I’m somewhere care-free |
| Past is frightenin but the future’s scary |
| And I’m, gettin to the point that I fear me In a class all alone, don’t compare me But I, blame God, this is where He steered me I mean |
| Look, they tell me the eyes is the windows to a man’s SOUL |
| What you happen to see a nigga can’t con-TROL |
| … And I’ve turned a deaf ear |
| to any nigga, anybody that’ll get my head clear |
| Why shake the dice if you never gon’roll 'em? |
| I told 'em that the straight jacket can’t hold him |
| I ain’t psycho, don’t belittle me now |
| It’s just a title cause they couldn’t figure me out |
| If you give a damn when shit hits the fan |
| Please know anything I ever did a nigga planned |
| Tryin to better, high as ever |
| As I learn how to lie to a lie detector |
| Still I’m damaged |
| Say if you stay in that boat long enough you see where the land is So I’m right where I need to be Please believe it, believe it please |
| Let’s get on our knees |
| One mo''gin, c’mon… |
| Follow me, let’s go OHHHH! |
| One mo''gin, OHHHH! |
| Mic check one-two one-two |
| Can anybody hear me? |
| Soul to keep, if I should die before I wake |
| I pray the Lord my soul to — uh Follow me c’mon, uhh, yeah |
