Lay Down (Safe & Sound)

Enemies surround 'til I'm facedown

Where I hide away, I can't be found

Bullets may fly 'round, but I lay down

I feel safe and sound on solid ground

How can I lay down-down-down-down- down-down-down?

How can I lay down-down-down-down- down-down-down?

They can chase me 'round, don't take my crown

Find me rising high, I'm merry now

Journey into wells where joy abounds

I'll be safe and sound on solid ground

How can I lay down-down-down-down- down-down-down?

How can I lay down-down-down-down- down-down-down?

Ayy, I've been havin' dreams of flyin' bullets makin' brains leak

Enemies pursuin', need to hide away, they can't reach

Can't be angry, some peace you just can't teach

When I'm put up under pressure, gotta let that pain preach

I got scars and war stories they ain't see

They threw me lemons, I bit 'em, victory tastes sweet

Goodness and mercy, I swim in, I'm in it waist-deep

How can this man sleep? Ayy, there's levels to this legacy

My father's father said to me I'm cut from different pedigree

Bespoke my tailored specialty, He spoke

In the valley of the shadows where them weapons be, I woke

This mornin', I'll let lepers lecture me

Take up my bed and walk, hold up me head, I fall

Arrows and pharaohs and bullets flyin' from barrels

Ayy, this that Jedi talk, just check my marrow

My force feel good, I bet I'm bought

Enemies surround 'til I'm facedown

Where I hide away, I can't be found

Bullets may fly 'round, but I lay down

I feel safe and sound on solid ground
