3AM In NY

(I shot the sheriff) 'Cause when it all falls down, oh-oh I only got myself, um I nearly lost myse-'e-'elf All the loss I felt, I felt I pray to God I never let these inner demons get me tied out I won't ever put myself in places I can't climb out How you wanna hold me close, but still be holdin' doubt? Bein' a real nigga weighs much more than all that clout You cannot take my soul, all alone Prayed alone, mm Still aligned, I built this on my own I sensed the jealousy Can't stop my destiny I pray my soul's at peace Lost in these melodies, ah They wanna see me dead, I'm a martyr But, we win instead, mm If we check the score when it's said and done Then, I'm still ahead, ah-oh They didn't believe in a miracle, look what God did Tried to make me fold, but some things just don't bend You cannot take my soul, all alone Prayed alone, mm Still aligned, I built this on my own I sensed the jealousy Can't stop my destiny I pray my soul's at peace Lost in these melodies, ahh
