Down, gotta lay me down, down, down to sleep
(Down, gotta lay me down)/
I pray to the Lord that a holy ghost
bless my soul to keep (Pray to the Lord, my soul)/
And if I should die before I wake up, wake up, wake up/
Hope that he saved a place in heaven/
So I pray every day for my soul he take up
-Flesh n Bone-
Gettin' my hustle in every day
Each day, when I would get on my knees and pray/
Everyday faced with all kinda playa hation/
Why they wanna make my sanity tighten?/
Pray, hey, hey, hey, and I got a beautiful family
A lovely wife, and my little pretty daughter
And I got two sons, handsome just like me/
So I count blessing, after each blessing/
Every last blessing I learned a lesson/
I didn't realize my blessings keep me from stressin'/
Jesus came, and died on the cross/
To save us from our sins, our sins/
The kingdom of heaven's at hand/
How much to repent to get in?/
Again and again I'm sendin' my praises up above/
And I don't know when Im entertainin' angels /
So I gotta show more love/
Gotta honor my mother and father with all my heart/
My little brothers Steven and Stewart/
We don't let demons break us apart/
Yeah, you know that's a no-no for sure/
I can put it on my soul/
I can even put it in mode/
And run the little seconds down the road/
I'm ready to go/
Steady rollin', leavin' these strangers/
If the whole world would end tomorrow/
Tomorrow just might be the end/
So wait for the Lord and follow
-Flesh n Bone-{Ms. Chaz}-Chorus-
Down, gotta lay me down, down, down to sleep
(Down, gotta lay me down)/
I pray to the Lord that a holy ghost
bless my soul to keep (Pray to the Lord, my soul)/
And if I should die before I wake up, wake up, wake up/
Hope that he saved a place in heaven/
So I pray every day for my soul he take up {Hallelujah, is the highest praise}/ Down, gotta lay me down, down, down to sleep
(Down, gotta lay me down)/
I pray to the Lord that a holy ghost
bless my soul to keep (Pray to the Lord, my soul)/
And if I should die before I wake up, wake up, wake up/
Hope that he saved a place in heaven/
So I pray every day for my soul he take up {Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Forever, amen}
-Flesh n Bone-
Must you prepare for the Judgment, baby/
Now, tell me what you've been up to lately/
Situations steady come on the daily, no/
It don't really surprise me/
It don't amaze me, but it do drive me crazy/
Demons, they keep tryin' to fade me, and it's so evil/
All they wanna do is aggrivate me/
Trip, and I flip, don't make me/
See even when i'm not lookin' for trouble/
Trouble, it seem to come find me/ That's how it is when you live in the limelight/
But I don't worry, put it all behind me/
Gotta get down, way down, stay down/
Satan up under my foot/
Gotta rebuke, and recite the scriptures from my holy book/
That's when it straight shook/
Look at the prophecy comin' down in history/
Still it ain't no mystery, can't let it repeat/
Good's gonna demolish evil/
What a miraculous, wonderful victory/
Ooh, yeah, Armageddon waitin' for the moment/
When the lid pop, when it goes down, don't be sleepin'/
Cause it'll creep on us, send a thief in the night/
Watch out, wake up, stay woke/
And gather more faith in Jesus, lead us/
Get ready to do the will of God/
So that he can keep us from the wrath of firey brimstones/
Stay strong and hold onto your faith/
And it won't greet you, yet meet you, deceit you/
We're leadin' and walkin' through heaven's gates
-Chorus-
-Ms. Chaz-
Our father, which art in heaven, hollow would be thy holy name
-Chorus-
-Ms. Chaz-
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, how majestic is thy name in all the Earth?
