The Game - Monsters In My Head lyrics

Your rating:




[Verse 1]

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



[Chorus]

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



[Verse 2]

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



[Chorus]

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



[Verse 3]

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



[Chorus]

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
