Before I Wake Lyrics by Demrick

Payday

2021

[Chorus: Demrick]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the plug prices stay cheap
If I could live to see another day
I pray the twelve don't come take me away
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 1: Demrick]
Yeah, yeah, uh, yeah
Pop's a dealer, step-pop's a dealer
All my cousins and some uncles is some dealers
Don't that story feel familiar
Oh, you never heard of this? Well, it's a thriller
It either make you stronger or 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

[Chorus: Demrick (Jarren Benton)]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the plug prices stay cheap
If I could live to see another day
I pray the twelve don't come take me away
La—la—la—la—la—la—la
La—la—la—la—la—la—la—la—la
La—la—la—la—la—la—la (Yeah)
La—la—la—la—la—la—la—la—la (Okay)
La—la—la—la—la—la—la (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Jarren Benton]
I wake up and thank the Lord for another day of life (Amen)
If you ain't where I wanna be then don't bother with your advice (Uh)
Miss me, ma'fucker, we're piffin', these bitches iffy (Uh-huh)
Baby mama toxic as Britney, the block is shifty, uh (Facts)
Yeah, why they plot when you doing well?
Just know that iron on me when I go shopping at Bloomingdales
Niggas crabs in the barrel, but only a few prevail (Uh-huh)
We can all win, my nigga, we all manoeuvred through hell
Tryna make it, so we trap, play ball and sing songs
Niggas pussy when you punch 'em, they do you like King Von (Facts)
Rest in peace to all the young black souls that's all gone
When the flesh perish, know that the spirit will live on, church

[Chorus: Demrick]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the plug prices stay cheap
If I could live to see another day
I pray the twelve don't come take me away
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
