I been locked up on a felony
A gatekeeper called to watch over me
Honest, swear he never leave
I done watched the seasons fly
While he watched my demons rise
I wondered why he stared at me
Pointed eyes
On them days he wasn’t present
Still I could feel his presence
Knowin’ not to reach to far
‘tween them bars
Everything slippin’ through my palms
Could I catch it
Light blessin’s
Life lessons
Want it all
He showed early last Tuesday
Caught me leanin’ on the corner wall
Lookin first
Not a word to be heard
Till he got the nerve
Why you wanna stand at all?
He say
So you thinkin that you want it all?
He say
Don’t you notice that its all go fall?
He say
I listen close
Takin notes
Of the scratches on the wall
He say, see yo #ss tomorrow
Lay down
Lay yo’ head by me (Lay by me)
I got somethin’ for ya
Wonder do it look familiar
Now, now
Don’t you worry ’bout me (Down you worry about me)
Ain’t a single thing wrong
Nothin’ wrong, nothin’ wrong, nothin’ wrong
Just a trip in December, all I need
A sliver of green
Simple things, a symbol of peace
Delivered to me
I been chasin’ wit my receipts
A couple a jeans
Anything, bit of relief
Folded my arms
Folded these arms
Closed crossed my chest
Guarded off from anything doin’ me harm
Another night eyes wide, next to my alarm
We chatterbox ’til early morn’
Tell me its a break thats comin’
Some break that’s comin’
Sunshine that go more than a day thats comin’
Kill off the smirnoff
My taste buds hummin’
Daily medicine for when you ain’t good
I know that I’d kill for a plan book
Kill for a pamphlet
Kill for the man that made it all to give a hand
So we kill for what matters instead of a couple bands
But I’m still fadin’ off in my head
Waitin on death
To answer
Lay down
Lay yo’ head by me (Lay by me)
I got somethin’ for ya
Wonder do it look familiar
Now, now
Don’t you worry ’bout me (Down you worry about me)
Ain’t a single thing wrong
Nothin’ wrong, nothin’ wrong, nothin’ wrong
