Carl Thomas Lyrics
"My Life"

I can hear it in the cold of the night, y'all niggas wanna take my life, oh
I been tryin' to do right, but they still wanna take my life, oh
I can hear it in the cold for the night,
y'all niggas wanna take my life, oh
I been tryin' to do right, but they still wanna take my life, oh

I can feel it in the night time
I say the Lord gave life, but these niggas wanna take mine
I heard it through the grapevine
They have to feel, they'd rather see me burnin' in
hell, and that's the truth

They'll set you up got proof, think about the 12 disciples
With one trade it dead to Christ, for small cheese
And they'll do it to me, damn and they'll do it to you
It only takes one in you crew
To cock back, bla, and take your life from you
To cock back, bla, and take your life from you

I can hear it in the cold of the night, y'all niggas wanna take my life, oh
I been tryin' to do right, but they still wanna take my life, oh
I can hear it in the cold for the night,
y'all niggas wanna take my life, oh
I been tryin' to do right, but they still wanna take my life, oh

Think about the slave trade, we sold our own just to get paid
And all days it's the same thang, till it's brains hang
White folks contributed, it's a gang bang
Dope slang, gain, mayn but we all some thugs
The same one that you love will kill your ass for drugs

Come to the funeral with kisses and hugs
For your mom, your sister, your brother and all
And really all they wanted was to see you fall
Best friend dead for these nigga can ball
Best friend dead so the streets can ball

I can hear it in the cold of the night, y'all niggas wanna take my life, oh
I been tryin' to do right, but they still wanna take my life, oh
I can hear it in the cold for the night,
y'all niggas wanna take my life, oh
I been tryin' to do right, but they still wanna take my life, oh

Sometimes I tend to lose my faith
I'm askin' God to hear my case
If you could see it through my eyes
They all wanna see me read my dimize

I feel alone to lose my mind
Beggin' God just send me a sign
Tryin' to do the best that I can
Be a man and follow Gods plan

I been tryin' to do right but niggas wanna take my life
I been tryin' to do right but niggas wanna take my life

I can hear it in the cold of the night, y'all niggas wanna take my life, oh
I been tryin' to do right, but they still wanna take my life, oh
I can hear it in the cold for the night,
y'all niggas wanna take my life, oh
I been tryin' to do right, but they still wanna take my life, oh
