[Chorus: Demrick]

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the plug prices stay cheap

If I could live to see another day

I pray the twelve don't come take me away

La—la—la—la—la—la—la

La—la—la—la—la—la—la—la—la

La—la—la—la—la—la—la

La—la—la—la—la—la—la—la—la

La—la—la—la—la—la—la


[Verse 1: Demrick]

Yeah, yeah, uh, yeah

Pop's a dealer, step-pop's a dealer

All my cousins and some uncles is some dealers

Don't that story feel familiar

Oh, you never heard of this? Well, it's a thriller

It either make you stronger or kill ya, at least what they say

How could I think about tomorrow? I'm still starving today

Almost did some wild shit, but my heart in the way

Stayed patient, it's part of the chase, smoke a blunt to the face

Got me paranoid, mind in the race

Got two guns by the bed, none in the safe

I keep having these nightmares that I'm running away

That's why I pray every night I don't end up in a cage

[Chorus: Demrick (Jarren Benton)]

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the plug prices stay cheap

If I could live to see another day

I pray the twelve don't come take me away

La—la—la—la—la—la—la

La—la—la—la—la—la—la—la—la

La—la—la—la—la—la—la (Yeah)

La—la—la—la—la—la—la—la—la (Okay)

La—la—la—la—la—la—la (Yeah)


[Verse 2: Jarren Benton]

I wake up and thank the Lord for another day of life (Amen)

If you ain't where I wanna be then don't bother with your advice (Uh)

Miss me, ma'fucker, we're piffin', these bitches iffy (Uh-huh)

Baby mama toxic as Britney, the block is shifty, uh (Facts)

Yeah, why they plot when you doing well?

Just know that iron on me when I go shopping at Bloomingdales

Niggas crabs in the barrel, but only a few prevail (Uh-huh)

We can all win, my nigga, we all manoeuvred through hell

Tryna make it, so we trap, play ball and sing songs

Niggas pussy when you punch 'em, they do you like King Von (Facts)

Rest in peace to all the young black souls that's all gone

When the flesh perish, know that the spirit will live on, church


[Chorus: Demrick]

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the plug prices stay cheap

If I could live to see another day

I pray the twelve don't come take me away
