Foxy Brown - Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep lyrics

rate me

Hey...Yo Gav I'm wide awoke, fam. Fox..

[VERSE 1]

Am I the most prolific

Can it be that I'm one of the most gifted

I swear at times I'm so twisted

Outta all the occupations in the world I chose this shit

Momma, tell me, do I have what it takes to be

Irreplacably the best this place will see

And yes I'm hated

And will I go down in history as one of the most underestimated

Lord, speak to me, are these streets the key?

We don't snitch, we been sworn to secrecy

I never claimed I shot guys

I just came in the game to get my name and rep Fox 5

I'm so close yet so far but so far

No stars flow hard like I do

So many years you been lied to

I now provide you with the closest thing to rap's bible

[CHORUS]

(Now I lay me down to sleep) Oh lord

(I pray the lord my soul 2 keep)

Yes, so may years you been lied to

I now provide you with the closest thng to rap's bible

(If I should die before I awake) Oh lord

(I pray the lord my soul to take)

Fox...I gotta get my rhyme on

And everything I speak my mind on be word to Big

[VERSE 2]

The industry lately's been terrible

I swear the timing's impeccable

Labels is bringin' in thin revenue

I don't mean to toot my own horn bt damn, I'm incredible

See I gots to be...possibly

If not the best, yeah, fuck it the best MC

And I feel they testin' me now

I don't need Kelly or Beyonce to prove I'm Destiny's Child

Thin I'm losin' y'all, confusin' y'all

When I spit all I hear is "ooh's" and "aww's"

And I don't need doubt

See it's just me, Red, Gav, Curtains, Mello & Young Mouse

A small portion of a dyin' breed

It's Fox-5 slash I-N-E but still

So many years you been lied to

I now provide you with the closest thing to rap's bible

[CHORUS]

(Now I lay me down to sleep) Oh lord

(I pray the lord my soul to keep)

Yes, so may years you been lied to

I now provide you with the closest thing to rap's bible

(If I should die before I awake) Oh God

(I pray the lord my soul to take)

Fox...I gotta get my rhyme on

And everything I speak my mind on be word to Pac

[VERSE 3]

See, it's the streets that inspire me

This is my proof of what fire be

My songs will please the inquiry

My versatile personal flows written and shittin', it's like diaries

Never tired my job, I confide in God

And almost effortless simply defy the odds

With the best the placin'

Will I be able to succeed and lyrically exceed my expectations

If I gain some fame, I'll remain the same

It's so ill how one bitch changed the game

And I'mma do it a lot faster

I probly have to die before they realize I was the best rapper

Young Fox, I'm a spittin' beast

This rap game's a puzzle, I'm the missin' piece

But...so many years you been lied to

I now provide you with the closest thing to rap's bible

[CHORUS]

(Now I lay me down to sleep) Oh lord

(I pray the lord my soul to keep)

Yes, so may years you been lied to

I now provide you with the closest thing to rap's bible

(If I should die before I awake)Oh God

(I pray the lord my soul to take)

Fox...I gotta get my rhyme on

And everything I speak my mind on be word to Pac

Lord, this fever is so crazy, man

I mean...everything I speak my mind on be word to Pac, yes

Oh God
