Now I Lay

[Verse 1:]

'Pump it up, you came to get it krunk

A dame and shit and drunk, you came to get it onnnnnn'

That's when it all got started (I mean)

Back then I wasn't so cold hearted

With every stanza came an extravaganza

For every question he got one less answer

I was tryin' to be more than cool

Nah it was before that, maybe boarding school

That was back when I would want endanger myself

Maybe it was just to entertain myself

I don't need help, I could change myself

Fuck ya'll, I ain't gotta explain myself

Death's around the corner, I could hear his footsteps

Does he think that I'm the only nigga in the hood left

So tell any listener of mine

For twenty eight years been a prisoner of the mind

[Hook: x2]

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 I)

I pray the Lord my soul to take (I mean)

[Verse 2:]

Welcome everybody into the brain of a self proclaimed sinner

Even when he can't win, that nigga won't surrender

Bulls 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, damn it I can't win

So I don't care how you rate me

It'd take a long time to evaluate me

So if, this be the last time you hear me

Just know I got a loved one near me

Please don't cry, let a eye get teary

A nigga good, finally I'm somewhere care free

Past is frightening but the futures scary

And I'm, gettin' to the point that I fear me

In a class all alone, don't compare me

But I'll, blame God this is where he steered me

[Hook: x2]

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 I)

I pray the Lord my soul to take

[Verse 3:]

They tell me that eyes is the window to a mans soul

So what you happen to see a nigga can't control

And I turned a def ear

To any nigga anybody that'll get my head clear

Why shake the dice if you never gon roll

I told em, that the straight-jacket can't hold em

I ain't phsycho, 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

Since I learned how to lie to a lie detector

Still I'm damaged

They say if you stay in that boat long enough you'll 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 knee's

[Hook: x2]

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 I)

I pray the Lord my soul to take (Follow Me)
