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.
