(Verse 1) Now I lay me, Down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep hope you forgive mistakes if I die before I wake Please (please) keep me safe from fakes Dear god, I honestly don’t know where I’m going Making waves in life, but this world is an ocean I feel like I’m splashing, flailing, out with no umbrella On a day that It’s hailing, Rained on, Hope that I can stay strong, Maintain, in this, quest for fame, Where the, rest are sane, Let it, stress my brain, When the best are slain How is this kid from queens gonna rep his name? Cynical, cause will the people cheer when I do? I’m tryna steal their hearts like a common criminal This robin hood attire, I just wanna switch their view But will I be forgotten as another sinner too? Hope not, They tell me that you made us in your image so if you are the truth, how come liars are existing? I wanna see the triumph in ya wisdom but when I look at prisons, I see Christians all up in the system, and a-theists who be, caking up, then I’m looking at my hands like I.. prayed for what? Keeping faith is tough, every day feels the same, When homie just got jacked for his Jesus chain My god (Chorus) I hope that you can hear me I'm talking so loud so I hope that you can hear me My head bowed and my eyes grow weary But i'm talking so loud 'cause I hoping you can hear me I say what I want And Pray you respond Said I say what I want And Pray you respond Said I say what I want and Pray you respond Man I say what I want and pray you respond   (Verse 2) While I’m saying Amen, someone got the gague and they’re aiming Another son passed away, from the spraying tryina find a haven, hoping through my pleas I can find a way in Looking like a refugee, tryina ditch Satan Feeling like Jay-Z every day I May-Sin But I hope that you can hear me, Saying my hail mary’s, Something like pac did, before he was buried I thought there wouldn’t be a flood, where the sharks live So tell me why we gotta go through these hard ships? Why do some spend their lives tryina raise a smart kid? Just to hear that they died, right before college? Huh? I rewind columbine, wondering, was this designed and divine? Suffering, Or are you blind to the crying? Times hard I need a sign, cause I’m trying’ My God   (chorus) (Verse 3) Laawwwd Protect me from the many men who wanna see me end up in The fire, their sentiment is treating me like cinnamon One of your chil-der-eren, hope that you can fit me in, Keep a watchful eye on this crazy world we living in (Keep us all in health) is that asking too much? I’m praying that my si-bi-lings will get to grow up Sho’nuff All alone you know it’s so tough, hope you send some horse shoes out those with no luck and I got my hands clasped, like these white chicks who be clutching hand bags soon as I step in, like they gonna get jacked at any second man it gets me so mad, but know that I pray for them and I hope that you take pity, on my entire city wanna see my pop retire, and my moms to hit 60 hope my whole squad, gets to rise up with me and if I die tomorrow, then I hope you forgive me My God (chorus)

I Roll in the land where the soul don’t grow Just a short head on this totem pole Want a real life, till I lie dead so I’m a Lil Pinocchio, but my nose won’t grow Moving through this grid iron, like the rose bowl With this torn in my side, I’m a ride ‘till I die, See the pride in my eye? I’m kicking rhymes, for the guy In disguise, he a slave in his mind Afraid to come out, and explain what he thinks Tryina be himself, Say that he needs a shrink So he covers up, goes on the defense They make sonny d like the drink, (That’s wrong) In this world, if yer real, Then yer shat on So I catch crap fer my rap songs Unh But if you speak like an ass when you talk Then they want mo’ like the grass in a backyard So, be strong, like Honey nut cheerio’s, Even when you ain’t cheery though Son dooks, Let you know about my little theory bro You can always break their control I’m proof So, Bite the bullet with a sharp tooth Draw strength like a cartoon (with no ink) And don’t think ‘bout the scars from the war wounds Throw a little salt on the cut Small sting (chorus) Saddle up Saddle up Train Blues and, Passengers Stay Moving Been the same since I moved in and this Train Music, Use it, as a toolkit to survive when the ride ends and Saddle Up, Saddle up Saddle up On my Iron Horse, I'm a set a course, Trot my path Hop in and let the Wheels spin, let nothing set you back, set you back Saddle up, Saddle up I’ll never get enough of this Chasing birds Like snuffalofigus Son looking tough and it’s Just another day in the system Un- Clench my molars and Spread the wisdom (Roll in the land of the molemen) Where the only light comes When another train is approaching Down Below The big apple No Newton The gravity of this, is so moving With the gift of gab we yell, no union (son yer so stupid), When Life presents a mountain Go through it (Ask pops) I wouldn’t even Be sitting here If a little semen, Didn’t disappear through a condom But damn it I ain’t complaining actually I feel accomplished cause my brothers never made it when we swam through the forest Being born was hike growing up was a slalom So being alive today Is like a race to the bottom So sitting here today On a train at the bottom Of the city With you folks is like A toast to my progress And I ain’t a drunk, But I’ll sip to the process (Celebrate that I exist) And pour some beer on the pavement For those who lost their way Those heads that didn’t make it For those, under the ground Not in subways or in basements We empty our liquor bottles That’s love, we’re demonstrating If thugs, never cry Then dammit we must be fake ones And I’m a rap ‘till I’m a great one Run train on this game, till we stop at my station (Like a Jew) I don't home the bacon But This here’s the path that I’m making Under ground Under granite Cat is moving Undercover Super hero Super star Since I teleported out my mother The lone ranger with no morpher I’m john wayne, and of course This here’s the iron horse I won’t get off of Saddle up Saddle up (chorus) Saddle up Saddle up Train Blues and, Passengers Stay Moving Been the same since I moved in and this Train Music, Use it, as a toolkit to survive when the ride ends and Saddle Up, Saddle up Saddle up On my Iron Horse, I'm a set a course, Trot my path Hop in and let the Wheels spin, let nothing set you back, set you back
