The Game - Monsters In My Head lyrics
[The Game - Monsters In My Head lyrics]
I'm sitting here watching my
Daughter being born
Feel like I should thank God
That nothing went wrong
Back in my days I was
Headed straight for the graveyard
Running from school cause enemies
Never stay far
Wear my colors watching colors chasing
After my older brothers
Cause they was always into shit
Good thing we had different mothers
Playing football in the streets
With the homies
And local drug dealers kicking back making
Money cause the crack fiend
Was always there so I start selling
That cane cause nobody never cared
Mama at the post office working
That late night shift
Taking care of my sisters cause
My daddy wasn't shit
Sweating over the stove and
On a school clothes
Open the refrigerator like where
Did the food go?
Trying to do whatever I can to be a man
Hope you understand
Even when shit goes wrong it's
Part of God's plan
Amen
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to Lord my soul to keep
Wake me up before I'm dead
Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah
Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head
Underneath the bed, underneath the bed
Laying here staring at this Doggystyle
Poster on my wall
Banging Snoop Dogg spinning this basketball
What the fuck is going on?
In a nigga head, all of
My homies gone to jail
Or they end up dead
Got my first tattoo tear when I was 19
Chasing a pipe dreams
Chrenshaw boulevard chilling
That was the night scene
And like the movies, niggas act a fool
When you pushing a beemer
Who gives a fuck about a School?
Mom's seta curfew
But I was breaking all the rules
Kicked a nigga out the house so
I started forming my crew
Getting a little bigger on my own
In the 12 grade crips scheming on me
Cause they know my trap self made
Trying to get by or getting high
That's how I survived, be a
Leader not a follower
That's how them cowards die
Pay 'em no mind but keep my
Chrome to the end of time
Feeling like no nigga can see me
I think they're going blind
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to Lord my soul to keep
Wake me up before I'm dead
Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah
Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head
Underneath the bed, underneath the bed
Seemed like just yesterday a
Nigga was only 21
Showing the little homies how to
Use a fucking gun
Now look what I become, nigga was on the run
From the coptom slums, they right
Like father like son
But I'm missing them days when I
Couldn't roll up a blunt
Bust the windows out of cars just
To only drive it once
Yeah them was the days but
Now a nigga getting paid
Pouring down rose for my niggas in the grave
My nigga Big Will and my homie P D
Feel like yesterday we was just
Running in the streets
And I swear to God funny how the time fly
And the only thing certain is that we all die
So let your soul fly
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to Lord my soul to keep
Wake me up before I'm dead
Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah
Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head
Underneath the bed, underneath the bed
Daughter being born
Feel like I should thank God
That nothing went wrong
Back in my days I was
Headed straight for the graveyard
Running from school cause enemies
Never stay far
Wear my colors watching colors chasing
After my older brothers
Cause they was always into shit
Good thing we had different mothers
