Safe

(专辑： As I Am - 2022)

Yeah, I remember like yesterday, just running and playing my plug
Then I ended up going left for no love
Hopping out that driveway, we thought we got away with doing drugs
When we hit the highway, they started to hit the car with them slugs
I was praying "Lord, I ain't going out like this
I been running 'round for a long time and I'm tired of it
Yeah, it's a whole lotta consequences when you finally rich
But if you get me out of this jam, Lord, I'ma go to church every Sunday"

Keep me safe, now lay me down to sleep
And if I'm hurting, get to my knees and pray
Every night, every day, until the sky hope for mercy
I'm not living for the trophies and fame
If today's my last day, I'ma live it up (Live it up)
Want some life and love and reason in my Solo cup (Solo cup)
So let the church say ayy, oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah)
I hope my angels keep me safe, I hope my angels keep me safe

Prayed up, amen, safe to say I had to earn my second chance
Tryna get me life up still, but they don't know I know the Big Man
Head high, Mama always told me "Boy, you better quit playing
'Cause life ain't nothing to play with, streets gon' swallow you up like quicksand"
If they cuff you up and take your life away, you screwed
I ain't tryna be another one on that list, gone too soon
'Cause I just gotta make it back to my kids, I got a few
Tryna pay my dues, I had something to lose
'Cause I always had my neighborhood on the news
And I'm living proof, but I got nothing to prove
And I brought my brothers, might as well save them too
Even when I was dead wrong, they would ride for me
And I got some dead-end gone, been inside of me
Lord, they don't play like homies, I'm for real
Fell to my knees 'cause I'm the one they tryna kill

Lord, keep me safe, now lay me down to sleep (Yeah)
And if I'm hurting, get to my knees and pray
Every night, every day, until the sky hope for mercy (Yeah)
I'm not living for the trophies and fame
If today's my last day, I'ma live it up (Live it up)
Want some life and love and reason in my Solo cup (Solo cup)
So let the church say ayy, oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah)
I hope my angels keep me safe, I hope my angels keep me safe
