Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the plug prices stay cheap
If I could live to see another day
I pray that 12 don't come take me away
[Verse 2]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 3]
Pop's a dealer, step-pop's a dealer
All my cousins and some uncles is some dealers
So that story feel familiar
Oh, you never heard of this? Well, it's a thriller
It either make you stronger or will kill ya
At least what they say
How could I think about tomorrow?
I'm still starving today
Almost did some wild shit, but my heart in the way
Stayed patient, it's part of the chase
Smoke a blunt to the face
Got me paranoid, mind in the race
Got two guns by the bed, none in the safe
I keep having these nightmares that I'm running away
That's why I pray every night I don't end up in a cage
[Verse 4]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the plug prices stay cheap
If I could live to see another day
I pray that 12 don't come take me away
[Verse 5]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 6]
I wake up and thank the Lord for another day of life
If you ain't where I wanna be, then don't bother with your advice
Miss me, muhfucker, we're piffin', these bitches iffy
Baby mama toxic as Britney, the block is shifty
Look, yeah, why they plot when you doing well?
Just know that iron on me when I go shopping at Bloomingdales
**** crabs in the barrel, but only a few prevail
We can all win, my ****, we all maneuver through hell
Tryna make it, so we trap, play ball and sing songs
**** pussy when you punch 'em, they doo-doo like King Von
Rest in peace to all the young black soldiers all gone
When the flesh perish, know that the spirit will live on, church
[Verse 7]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the plug prices stay cheap
If I could live to see another day
I pray that 12 don't come take me away
[Verse 8]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
