[Intro]
Gotdamnitdupri

[Chorus]
Every night 'fore I lay down, I pray
Please, God, I hope life go my way
Gotta keep a blick close by
'Cause there's n***as getting shot every day, it get spooky
Swear this shit like a movie
You full of shit, when you die, you gon' dookie
Scared to let anybody close to me
When I close my eyes, I think God spoke to me

[Verse 1]
Uh, yeah, dead on arrival
You could tell he gone, you ain't even gotta check his vitals
But he put up a fight
God bless his soul 'cause he donе with the life
The city do thе same shit every single year
That's why I stand alone on my own facing fears
These old n***as drinking beers
Ain't really thug the streets in the last twenty years
Fuck all that old shit, what's happening now?
The homie got hit, you gotta go back now
If you Black and you rap, they gon' play it back in trial
Guess the rap game is the new streets now
I be looking at life, I got a new lease now
It's a war in my mind, I need a new peace now
And I'm finally moving on, a million dollar business
The growing pains almost killed me
[Chorus]
Every night 'fore I lay down, I pray
Please, God, I hope life go my way
Gotta keep a blick close by
'Cause there's n***as getting shot every day, it gets spooky
Swear this shit like a movie
You full of shit, when you die, you gon' dookie
Scared to let anybody close to me
When I close my eyes, I think God spoke to me

[Verse 2]
Uh, ain't no love, ain't no peace
Don't give him no guns, he on drugs, he can't think
He gon' be in a courtroom singing
While your baby at home, newborn just started teething
Whole life been making bad decisions
Can't see the drama coming, he got real bad vision
Don't leave nothing around 'cause he gon' steal it
And these the type of motherfuckers I done had to deal with
Give me my credit
I came up from nothing, you can't not respect it
The team start melting down when you need help
To be top shit, you gotta bet on yourself
N***as gon' talk down, n***as gon' switch
N***as gon' spread rumors that could get you killed
Then act like it's nothing
You better thank God when you make it through the summer
[Chorus]
Every night 'fore I lay down, I pray
Please, God, I hope life go my way
Gotta keep a blick close by
'Cause there's n***as getting shot every day, it gets spooky
Swear this shit like a movie
You full of shit, when you die, you gon' dookie
Scared to let anybody close to me
When I close my eyes, I think God spoke to me

[Outro: Janet Jackson]
Funny how time flies when you're having fun
Ooh, baby, mm
Funny how time flies when you're having fun
Oh, baby
