Lyrics Before I Wake - Lionheart, Mr. Jet Black

Before I Wake

If I should die
Before I wake
I pray my eyes stay open
And I see you hate
I pray your heart stays broken
So you feel my pain
You better feel my pain
And I pray my god
He don’t look away
Cause He been dodging my calls, man
Like every day
And the motherfucker never answered me
Any time I’ve prayed
MY GOD
He never answered me
Why he never answered me
MY GOD
He never answered me
When I been treading water
But the water too deep
I lost my cousin to jealousy
And a couple rounds or two
Provoke me, no telling what I’m down to do
I struggle so I can struggle harder
The trash in my driveway make me hustle harder
«The art of war» that’s in my bloodline
Boy, I’ll start a war behind tough times
It’ll all get addressed, I’ll get around to it
That poking out your chest could get a round to it
MY GOD
He never answered me
Why he never answered me
MY GOD
He never answered me
When I been treading water
But the water too deep
When I been treading water
But the water too deep
Shadowboxing waves
Just trying to breathe
When I been treading water
But the water too deep
Shadowboxing waves
Just trying to breathe
MY GOD
He never answered me
Why he never answered me
MY GOD
He never answered me
When I been treading water
But the water too deep
Knocking on heavens door
Ain’t begging for entry
I came for the lord
He won’t answer my calls
I wanna drag him to my world
This is hell on earth
I been praying on my knees
But I’m not reaching to ya
I feel like it’s on me
And I’m not breathing through ya
My reaction getting drastic
You not taking time
Life’s getting cheap
But you not taking mine
Life’s getting cheap
But you not taking mine
Life’s getting cheap
But you not taking mine
Life’s getting cheap
But you not taking mine
Life’s getting cheap
But you not taking mine
