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
i wrote my will just the other week and whats funny
it was only one sheet and i know that's only one me
but i hope i am everything my son be i'm tryna live
rite 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'sum tree just bein young me is there
a heaven for G's and soldiers i can't got to hell cuz
i'd take over i feel it aproachin but i ain't scared
i made that bed and i should rest in peace

chorus X2
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

give thanks at least one time i feelin like im livin
on the frontline im feelin like every second is crunch

for me i gave the best i could give i can only do me
so thats wat i did and i cherish every breath of my

but in this game of life i don't make the rules sh*t
so thats y i get twisted so i can't feel it wen it

death around the corner and if he so happens to make
his way around the block you gotta answer the door wen he knock believe dat

Before i sleep i pray to the lord my soul to keep and
if i should die bfore i wake i pray to the lord my
soul to take for goodness sake
