Now I Lay Me Lyrics by Saint Dog

Ghetto Guide

2004

[Hook]
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray to lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake up
I pray the lord my soul to take
[Verse 1]
Now I lay me down to sleep
Lord take my soul if darkness tries to creep
Run up on me like a thief in the night
Better catch me sleeping so I'm ready to fight
I ain't afraid to blast so don't take it there
Fuck It I'm packing heat, I ain't unprepared
Cross my boundries I guarentee to get square
Cremate and date your death grim reaper I swear
It's like carlito's way, man I ain't gonna bend
I'm like vanny from the boss, but Imma get you in the end
You think I'm talking lead, think I'm bullshitting
But I got eyes that turn red, and a book that's been written
When I speak people listen, look at my eyes
I got intense vision, my oh so many wifes
And I swear I've lived this life before
Yet I'm still knocking on heavens door
[Hook x2]
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray to lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake up
I pray the lord my soul to take
[Verse 2]
If I should die I ain't gonna cry
It'll be the last chapter of a lonely guy
No more praying out loud talking to myself
No more doing shit that's bad for my health
I've been a wrong motherfucker down on this earth
But every now and then I pray for what It's worth
Try to say a thousand prayers, a million words
Still ask myself why people on this earth
To whom It may concern I make faces burn
Could of looked the other way my cheek was hard to turn
Got a heart of gold but it turned to stone
To many passes from stashes wouldn't leave me alone
[Whispering]
[Hook x2]
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray to lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake up
I pray the lord my soul to take
[Whispering]
