AK-47 - Bed Time Story lyrics
rate meThis is a bed time story
Look, with no sleep tonight
I pray to God that I reach my heights
Young black brother tryna school these devils
I should probably be a teacher, right?
What’s wrong with the youth if they teach them right?
What’s wrong with the truth, they ain’t preaching right
What’s wrong with the sales, I be thinking right
Shit, it’s kinda hard if you ain’t eating right
And we starving, my people is hardly getting it
They don’t know about the truth ‘cause we hardly spending
And for real on a ledge so from now I’mma pledge
I’mma keep spitting bullets till I die from the lead
Yeah, I’m like I’m carving this one, I’mma part seas, I’m gone with this one
I might have…better yet, let me chill ‘cause he’s got the deal
Can I elevate myself? I should be a ten if I rate myself
To me I’m the shit like I hate myself
To me you should quit if you ain’t yourself
How can I feel right if I fake myself? How am I god if I hate myself?
How can we arrive if you break ourselves
But it’s all for the glory of bed time story, look
Tell this one to the kids tonight
Let them know you gonna be alright
Tell this one to the kids tonight
Let them know you gonna be alright
Tell this one to the kids tonight
Let them know you gonna be alright
Tell this one to the kids tonight
Let them know
It’s no sleep for you and me
Let’s go to work, we gotta go to work
It’s no sleep for you and me
Let’s go to work, we gotta go to work
It’s no sleep for you and me
Let’s go to work, we gotta go to work
Go to work, let’s go to work
Go to work, we gotta go to work
Wake up in the morning, fresh up out my head
He hit me but it ain’t reflected in the bread
Pockets hurting off the mouths a nigga fed
It’s time to get it, only sleeping if you dead
Don’t know if we really grasp the concept
…400 years and we declined the progress
I don’t know if we really got it or not
Never grabbing a book but never really grabbing the Glock
Never given a shit so you’re ever given a shot
Gotta take what’s mine, homie, that’s the way I was taught
That’s everything that’s going on in my head
Only ever knew we’ve been giving what’s giving us bread
Only leaving us the crumbs but the family was fed
I’m just tryna sing it loud so the family can hear
I just keep on working hard so the family can bear
All the fruits of my labor, don’t know if Adam was there
I just know that if we able we could actually live
To see a better future, I see you’re actually scared
And leave enough devices to actually bow on your head
We ain’t living for him, it’s like we actually there
But wait, I ain’t tryna make a sell…it’s all for the glory, bed time story, look
Tell this one to the kids tonight
Let them know we gonna be alright
Tell this one to the kids tonight
Let them know we gonna be alright
Tell this one to the kids tonight
Let them know we gonna be alright
Tell this one to the kids tonight
Let them know
And I’ll tell the same story to my enemies
The same one…
The same one that hate a nigga doing good
The same one that put the homies in that neighborhood
The same one…
Now I know, I see the blood on the leaves…
When you gonna see that they don’t care about us
…they scared of us, soldiers in the hood, they prepared for us
When the ten blast go ain’t no air for us
And we…you niggas scaring us, no way, the boys is grown up
