[Chorus х2] 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
[Verse 1] 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 х2] 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
[Verse 2] 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 х2] 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
[Verse 3] 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 х2] 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
