Safe

Yeah, I remember like yesterday, just runnin' and playin' my plug Then I ended up goin' left for no love Hoppin' out that driveway, we thought we got away with doin' drugs When we hit the highway, they started to hit the car with them slugs I was prayin' "Lord, I ain't goin' out like this I been runnin' 'round for a long time and I'm tired of it Yeah, it's a whole lotta consequences when you finally rich But if you get me out of this jam Lord, I'ma go to church every Sunday" Keep me safe, now lay me down to sleep And if I'm hurting, get to my knees and pray Every night, every day, until the sky hope for mercy I'm not livin' for the trophies and fame If today's my last day, I'ma live it up (Live it up) Want some life and love and reason in my Solo cup (Solo cup) So let the church say ayy, oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah) I hope my angels keep me safe, I hope my angels keep me safe Prayed up, amen, safe to say I had to earn my second chance Tryna get me life up still, but they don't know I know the Big Man Head high, Mama always told me "Boy, you better quit playin' 'Cause life ain't nothin' to play with, Streets gon' swallow you up like quicksand" If they cuff you up and take your life away, you screwed I ain't tryna be another one on that list, gone too soon 'Cause I just gotta make it back to my kids, I got a few Tryna pay my dues, I had somethin' to lose 'Cause I always had my neighborhood on the news And I'm livin' proof, but I got nothin' to prove And I brought my brothers, might as well save them too Even when I was dead wrong, they would ride for me And I got some dead-end gone, been inside of me Lord, they don't play like homies, I'm for real Fell to my knees 'cause I'm the one they tryna kill Lord, keep me safe, now lay me down to sleep (Yeah) And if I'm hurting, get to my knees and pray Every night, every day, until the sky hope for mercy (Yeah) I'm not livin' for the trophies and fame If today's my last day, I'ma live it up (Live it up) Want some life and love and reason in my Solo cup (Solo cup) So let the church say ayy, oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah) I hope my angels keep me safe, I hope my angels keep me safe
