Monsters In My Head

I'm sitting here watching my daughter being born

For like I should thank god that nothing went wrong

Back in my days I saved the strength for the graveyard

Running from school cause enemies never stay far

Wear my colors watching colors chasing after my older brothers

Cause they was always sending shit with me we had different brothers

Playing football in the streets with the homies

And local drug dealers kicking back making money cause the crack fiend

Was always there so I start selling that cane cause nobody never cared

Mama at the post office working at late night shifts

Taking care of my sisters cause my daddy wouldn't...

Sweating on the stove and on a school clothes

Open the refrigerator like where did the food go?

Trying to do whatever I can to be a man, hope you understand

Even when shit goes wrong it's part of god's plan, amen

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to lord my soul to keep

Wake me up before I'm dead

Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah

Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head

Underneath the bed, underneath the bed

Laying here staring at this doggy style poster on my wall

... spinning this basketball, what the fuck is going on?

Ain't a nigger here, all of my homies gone to jail, or they end up dead

Got my first tattoo tear when I was 19, chasing in pipe dreams

Cause... bullet for chilling, that was a nice scene

Like the movies, niggers acting fool, when you pushing the beemer

Who gives a fuck about the school?

Mom's out of... but I was breaking all the rules

Kicked a nigger out the house so I started forming my crew

Getting a little bigger on my own, in the 12 grade creeps scheming on me

Cause they know my trap cell mate, trying to get by or getting high

That's how I survived, be a leader not a follower, that's...

Paying no... but keep my chrome too the end of time

Feeling like no nigger can see me I think they're going blind

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to lord my soul to keep

Wake me up before I'm dead

Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah

Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head

Underneath the bed, underneath the bed

Seems like just yesterday a nigger was only 21

Showing the little homie how to use a fucking gun

Now look what I become, nigger is on the run

From the cops, the slums, the right, like father like son

But I'm missing them days when I couldn't roll up a blunt

Bust the windows out of cars just to only drive it once

Yeah them was the days but now a nigger getting paid

Pouring down rose for my niggers in the grave

My nigger big wheel and my homie p

Feel like yesterday we was running in the streets

And I swear to god funny how the time fly

And the only thing certain that we all die

So let your soul fly

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to lord my soul to keep

Wake me up before I'm dead

Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah

Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head

Underneath the bed, underneath the bed.
