Lil Wayne — Pray to the Lord

[Chorus] Before I sleep I pray to the Lord, my soul to keep And if I should die, before I wake I pray to the Lord, my soul to take For goodness' sake Before I sleep I pray to the Lord, my soul to keep And if I should die, before I wake I pray to the Lord, my soul to take For goodness' sake [Verse 1] Yeah, I wrote my will just the other week And what's funny, it was only one sheet And I know there's only one me But I hope I am everything my son be I'm tryin' live right, stay on the drum beat But I'm in the fast lane, in the front seat I wonder will I lose control of the Maserati And hit some tree, just being young me? Is there a heaven for G's and soldiers? I can't go to hell, 'cause I'd take over I feel it approaching, but I ain't scared I made that bed and I should rest in peace [Chorus] Before I sleep I pray to the Lord, my soul to keep And if I should die, before I wake I pray to the Lord, my soul to take For goodness' sake Before I sleep I pray to the Lord, my soul to keep And if I should die, before I wake I pray to the Lord, my soul to take For goodness' sake [Verse 2] Yeah, and every time I see the sunshine I drop down and give thanks at least one time Feeling like I'm living on the front line I'm feeling like every second is crunch time I've had breakfast, will I make it to lunchtime? And I ain't joking so don't be looking for punchlines Will I be the next victim of a gun crime? I don't know the answer, that's why I brung mine Riding by myself late at night Pistol on my lap at every single red light Yeah, I made my bed right, so when I do I should sleep tight In peace I rest [Chorus] Before I sleep I pray to the Lord, my soul to keep And if I should die, before I wake I pray to the Lord, my soul to take For goodness' sake Before I sleep I pray to the Lord, my soul to keep And if I should die, before I wake I pray to the Lord, my soul to take For goodness' sake [Verse 3] Bury me a gangsta cause that's what I live Don't cry for me, I gave the best I could give I can only do me, so that's what I did And I cherish every breath of my kid And I don't want to go before she grow, that ain't cool But in this game of life, I don't make the rules Shit, so that's why I get twisted So I can't feel it when it hits me And my moms don't need that on her But I see death around the corner And if he so happens to make his way around the block You gotta answer the door when he knock, believe that [Chorus] Before I sleep I pray to the Lord, my soul to keep And if I should die, before I wake I pray to the Lord, my soul to take For goodness' sake Before I sleep I pray to the Lord, my soul to keep And if I should die, before I wake I pray to the Lord, my soul to take For goodness' sake
