[Verse 1: Game] I'm sitting here watching my daughter being born Feel like I should thank God that nothing went wrong Back in my days I was headed straight for the graveyard Running from school cause enemies never stay far Wear my colors watching colors chasing after my older brothers Cause they was always into shit, good thing we had different mothers Playing football in the streets with the homies And local drug dealers kicking back making money cause the crack fiend Was always there so I start selling that cane cause nobody never cared Mama at the post office working that late night shift Taking care of my sisters cause my daddy wasn't shit Sweating over the stove and on a school clothes Open the refrigerator like where did the food go? Trying to do whatever I can to be a man, hope you understand Even when shit goes wrong it's part of God's plan, Amen [Chorus:] Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to Lord my soul to keep Wake me up before I'm dead Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head Underneath the bed, underneath the bed [Verse 2: Game] Laying here staring at this Doggystyle poster on my wall SongtexteBanging Snoop Dogg spinning this basketball, what the fuck is going on? In a nigga head, all of my homies gone to jail, or they end up dead Got my first tattoo tear when I was 19, chasing a pipe dreams Chrenshaw boulevard chilling, that was the night scene And like the movies, niggas act a fool When you pushing a beemer, who gives a fuck about a School? Mom's seta curfew, but I was breaking all the rules Kicked a nigga out the house so I started forming my crew Getting a little bigger on my own, in the 12 grade crips scheming on me Cause they know my trap self made, trying to get by or getting high That's how I survived, be a leader not a follower, that's how them cowards die Pay 'em no mind but keep my chrome to the end of time Feeling like no nigga can see me I think they're going blind [Chorus:] Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to Lord my soul to keep Wake me up before I'm dead Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head Underneath the bed, underneath the bed [Verse 3: Game] Seemed like just yesterday a nigga was only 21 Showing the little homies how to use a fucking gun Now look what I become, nigga was on the run From the coptom slums, they right, like father like son But I'm missing them days when I couldn't roll up a blunt Bust the windows out of cars just to only drive it once Yeah them was the days but now a nigga getting paid Pouring down rose for my niggas in the grave My nigga Big Will and my homie P D Feel like yesterday we was just running in the streets And I swear to God funny how the time fly And the only thing certain is that we all die So let your soul fly [Chorus:] Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to Lord my soul to keep Wake me up before I'm dead Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head Underneath the bed, underneath the bed Aus Songtexte Mania
