[Chorus]

Before I sleep

I pray to the lord my soul to keep

And if I shall die before I awake

I pray to the lord, my soul to take

For goodness sake

Before I sleep

I pray to the lord my soul to keep

And if I shall die before I awake

I pray to the lord, my soul to take

For goodness sake

I wrote my will just the other week

It was funny it was only one sheet

And I know that's only one me

But I hope I am everything my son be

I'm trying to live right stay on the drum beat

But I'm in the fast lane, in the front seat

I wonder will I lose control of the Mazerati

And hit some tree just being young me

Is there a heaven for G's and soldiers?

I can't go to hell… cause I'll take over

I feel it approaching but I aint scared.

I made that bed and I should rest in peace.

[Chorus 2x]

Yea and every time I see the sunshine

I drop down and give thanks at least one time

Feeling like I'm living on the frontline

I'm feeling like every second is crunch time

I've had breakfast…will I make it to lunchtime?

And I aint joking so don't be looking for punchlines

Will I be the next victim of a gun crime?

I don't know the answer that's why I brung mine

Riding by myself late at night

Pistol on my lap at every single red light

I made my bed right so when I do

I should sleep tight and peace I rep

[Chorus 2x]

Bury me a gangsta cause that's what I live

Don't cry for me I gave the best I could give

I can only do me so that's what I did

And I cherish every breathe of my kid

And I don't wanna go before she grow that aint cool

But in this game of life…I don't make the rules

Shiiit So that's why I get twisted…So I can't feel it when it hits me

And my moms don't need that on her

But I see dead around the corner

And if he…so happens to make his way around the block

You gotta answer the door when he knock…Believe that

[Chorus 2x]
