[00:08.52] 'Pump it up, you came to get it krunk*
[00:11.24] A dame and shit and drunk, you came to get it onnnnnn'*
[00:13.71] That's when it all got started (I mean)
[00:15.59] Back then I wasn't so cold hearted
[00:17.63] With every stanza came an extravaganza
[00:19.59] For every question he got one less answer
[00:21.90] I was tryin' to be more than cool
[00:24.17] Nah it was before that, maybe boarding school
[00:26.16] That was back when I would want endanger myself*
[00:28.21] Maybe it was just to entertain myself
[00:30.45] I don't need help, I could change myself
[00:32.63] Fuck ya'll, I ain't gotta explain myself
[00:34.86] Death's around the corner, I could hear his footsteps
[00:37.15] Does he think that I'm the only nigga in the hood left
[00:39.29] So tell any listener of mine
[00:41.54] For twenty eight years been a prisoner of the mind
[00:43.82] Now I Lay me down to sleep (And I)
[00:46.19] I pray the Lord my soul to keep (If I)
[00:48.11] If I should die before I wake (Then I)
[00:50.37] I pray the Lord my soul to take (I mean)
[00:52.66] Now I Lay me down to sleep (And I)
[00:54.85] I pray the Lord my soul to keep (If I)
[00:57.04] If I should die before I wake (Then I)
[00:59.26] I pray the Lord my soul to take (I mean)
[01:01.16] Welcome everybody into the brain of a self proclaimed sinner
[01:03.24] Even when he can't win, that nigga won't surrender
[01:05.73] Bulls fault, put the wheels in motion
[01:07.79] I felt every emotion except devotion
[01:09.85] Message in a bottle in the bottom of the ocean
[01:11.97] But I can't swim, damn it I can't win
[01:14.13] So I don't care how you rate me
[01:16.57] It'd take a long time to evaluate me
[01:18.47] So if, this be the last time you hear me
[01:20.78] Just know I got a loved one near me
[01:23.07] Please don't cry, let a eye get teary
[01:25.13] A nigga good, finally I'm somewhere care free
[01:27.24] Past is frightening but the futures scary
[01:29.55] And I'm, gettin' to the point that I fear me
[01:31.75] In a class all alone, don't compare me
[01:33.94] But I'll, blame God this is where he steered me*
[01:36.11] Now I Lay me down to sleep (And I)
[01:38.41] I pray the Lord my soul to keep (If I)
[01:40.52] If I should die before I wake (Then I)
[01:42.53] I pray the Lord my soul to take
[01:44.93] Now I Lay me down to sleep (And I)
[01:47.08] I pray the Lord my soul to keep (If I)
[01:49.13] If I should die before I wake (Then I)
[01:50.96] I pray the Lord my soul to take
[01:53.14] They tell me that eyes is the window to a mans soul
[01:55.54] So what you happen to see a nigga can't control*
[01:57.79] And I turned a def ear*
[01:59.96] To any nigga anybody that'll get my head clear
[02:02.28] Why shake the dice if you never gon roll
[02:04.26] I told em, that the straight-jacket can't hold em
[02:06.37] I ain't phsycho, don't belittle me now
[02:08.59] It's just a title cause they couldn't figure me out*
[02:10.83] If you give a damn when shit hits the fan
[02:12.96] Please know anything I ever did a nigga planned
[02:15.23] Tryin' to better, high as ever*
[02:17.42] Since I learned how to lie to a lie detector
[02:19.27] Still I'm damaged
[02:20.17] They say if you stay in that boat long enough you'll see where the land is
[02:24.06] So I'm right where I need to be
[02:26.08] Please believe it believe it please, let's get on our knee's
[02:28.48] Now I Lay me down to sleep (And I)
[02:30.57] I pray the Lord my soul to keep (If I)
[02:32.74] If I should die before I wake (Then I)
[02:34.63] I pray the Lord my soul to take (Follow Me)
[02:37.13] Now I Lay me down to sleep (And I)
[02:39.20] I pray the Lord my soul to keep (If I)
[02:41.39] If I should die before I wake (Then I)
[02:43.64] I pray the Lord my soul to take (Follow Me)
[02:46.50]
