Yohan - Bedtime Prayer Lyrics

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul he keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul he take
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul he keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul he take

But I can never fall asleep
So I smoke a blunt tryna practice deep breathin'
I read a few books in the precinct
And every time I'm booked I see a few friends
Talkin' bullshit "we aint do it"
But I'm here every year on some new shit
All these critics in my face is a nuisance
I don't care if you a dime, keep your two cents
To yourself, I been actin' irrational now
Shoutout to my GED ain't no cap and a gown
Zay moved the pack when they were pattin' me down
We just some young cash cows smoking' half of the pound
Pound for pound I'm the champion
On my high horse, lookin clean in the chariot
Put it in the air again
Can you smell the arrogance?
Unaware of all that somebody take care of him

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul he keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul he take
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul he keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul he take

But I don't ever go to sleep
All these thoughts in my head keep spinnin' and I'm queazy
Gotta dime in my bed and she sleazy
You gotta have a mind too if you wanna please me
Otherwise it's never mind to her reasons
Swear to God on my mom I'm a creature
Of bad habit sometimes I can't even keep up
Ain't the world tired of watchin' another re-run
They ain't hear me then all I had to do was speak up
Now I got the keys like Alicia, thank God
Mighta lost myself but I never let the faith die
Or maybe I'm addicted to her waist line
And what it taste like
But she don't love me like I love her
So she got the brake lights, have a great life
And I always have a safe flight
Rich got me a show in California with the grape vine

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul he keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul he take
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul he keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul he take

I did a show in California
And I met Mary J. Blige's daughter
She told me she ain't think nobody with some real music would be here
Until she heard me on the mic while the cameras recorded
And I doubt she even remembers me, I'm not important
But I still get into V.I.P, no appointment
And I think I even had a talk
With someone named Brandon Barnes
He told me that I got it I'm a star
And if I had a hit, I should give him a call
Like he tryna help my rap career takeoff
Hold up, I don't even know this muf*cker
I ain't splittin' money with you, we ain't talking numbers
In this dog eat dog world only trust my brothers
Most of these bitches ain't worthy only love my mother
And my sister, treat her wrong if you wanted trouble
I'm a diamond in the dirt what you did discover
They say money talks, and you got no rebuttals
When I'm on my job boy everything is subtle
If they know who it is, then they gotta love you
Said she love the wave, now she makin' puddles
F*ck you 'fore I leave got no time to cuddle
In this concrete jungle we still throwin' rubble
And I do it like I need it do it like it's nothin'
I still do it for the glory do it for the glutton
Now I'm making somethin'
