[00:22.98] |
I'm sitting here watching my daughter being born |
[00:24.80] |
Feel like I should thank God that nothing went wrong |
[00:27.98] |
Back in my days I was headed straight for the graveyard |
[00:30.73] |
Running from school cause enemies never stay far |
[00:33.91] |
Wear my colors watching colors chasing after my older brothers |
[00:37.29] |
Cause they was always into shit, good thing we had different mothers |
[00:40.17] |
Playing football in the streets with the homies |
[00:42.36] |
And local drug dealers kicking back making money cause the crack fiend |
[00:46.67] |
Was always there so I start selling that cane cause nobody never cared |
[00:50.98] |
Mama at the post office working that late night shift |
[00:53.30] |
Taking care of my sisters cause my daddy wasn't shit |
[00:56.73] |
Sweating over the stove and on a school clothes |
[00:59.67] |
Open the refrigerator like where did the food go? |
[01:02.23] |
Trying to do whatever I can to be a man, hope you understand |
[01:05.92] |
Even when shit goes wrong it's part of God's plan, Amen |
[01:08.16] |
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to Lord my soul to keep |
[01:14.85] |
Wake me up before I'm dead |
[01:17.79] |
Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah |
[01:22.60] |
Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head |
[01:28.37] |
Underneath the bed, underneath the bed |
[01:30.50] |
|
[01:31.36] |
Laying here staring at this Doggystyle poster on my wall |
[01:34.36] |
Banging Snoop Dogg spinning this basketball, what the f**k is going on? |
[01:38.61] |
In a nigga head, all of my homies gone to jail, or they end up dead |
[01:42.92] |
Got my first tattoo tear when I was 19, chasing a pipe dreams |
[01:46.80] |
Chrenshaw boulevard chilling, that was the night scene |
[01:49.92] |
And like the movies, niggas act a fool |
[01:51.67] |
When you pushing a beemer, who gives a f**k about a School? |
[01:54.61] |
Mom's seta curfew, but I was breaking all the rules |
[01:57.48] |
Kicked a nigga out the house so I started forming my crew |
[02:00.36] |
Getting a little bigger on my own, in the 12 grade crips scheming on me |
[02:04.67] |
Cause they know my trap self made, trying to get by or getting high |
[02:07.67] |
That's how I survived, be a leader not a follower, that's how them cowards die |
[02:13.12] |
Pay 'em no mind but keep my chrome to the end of time |
[02:15.49] |
Feeling like no nigga can see me I think they're going blind |
[02:17.81] |
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to Lord my soul to keep |
[02:24.37] |
Wake me up before I'm dead |
[02:27.25] |
Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah |
[02:31.81] |
Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head |
[02:37.37] |
Underneath the bed, underneath the bed |
[02:41.68] |
Seemed like just yesterday a nigga was only 21 |
[02:43.63] |
Showing the little homies how to use a f**king gun |
[02:46.75] |
Now look what I become, nigga was on the run |
[02:49.63] |
From the coptom slums, they right, like father like son |
[02:52.62] |
But I'm missing them days when I couldn't roll up a blunt |
[02:55.31] |
Bust the windows out of cars just to only drive it once |
[02:58.18] |
Yeah them was the days but now a nigga getting paid |
[03:01.13] |
Pouring down rose for my niggas in the grave |
[03:04.12] |
My nigga Big Will and my homie P D |
[03:07.25] |
Feel like yesterday we was just running in the streets |
[03:09.88] |
And I swear to God funny how the time fly |
[03:12.44] |
And the only thing certain is that we all die |
[03:15.44] |
So let your soul fly |
[03:16.88] |
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to Lord my soul to keep |
[03:22.21] |
Wake me up before I'm dead |
[03:24.95] |
Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah |
[03:29.14] |
Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head |
[03:33.95] |
Underneath the bed, underneath the bed |
