(C. Perkins, M. Ortega)
Now I lay me down to sleep I pray to god my soul to keep if I don't make it cause with you by my side I know I'm safe and that's cool cause with these world situations a fool would never pray remember the day you lift me from a wreckage on 880 thank you lord cause could nobody save me and the life you gave me was on the brink that made me think man if I come out of this...huh.. I'm givin' up a lot of this nonsense and runnin' around paintin' the town I'm doin' my thing now rappin and sangin I got them clappin bringin' joy to the boys and girls of the land no more robbin now that I been readin cars and money ain't exactly what I'm needin to be satisfied right.
Hook:
For so long been needin you in my life-oh, yeah
Cause all night I'm thinkin about my life no matter how it goes all of the time I'm losin my mind
Now every day it's all the same, homies dying mama cryin my buddy's almost gone and I'm tryin to conquer this mess I know this had to happen for the best. I might never understand it but I know we gotta go when you call, but let me know if you see my homie at all, I know we did our dirt but I guess it's time to use him I just don't want to lose him man. Walkin thru the park one night I remember ninth of September I made sixteen and I'm thinkin I'm grown runnin with the dealers turn to killers over night and I couldn't take what they did and now I'm glad I got out cause most of them on skid if they ain't dead and I was headin for the same just believin' what they said and what a shame.
