Monsters In My Head (Feat. Colin Munroe)

Monsters In My Head

[Game - Verse 1] 
I'm sitting here watching my daughter being born 
Feel like I should thank God that nothing went wrong 
Back in my days I was headed straight for the graveyard 
Running from school cause enemies never stay far 
Wear my colors watching colors chasing after my older brothers 
Cause they was always into [bad word]  good thing we had different mothers 
Playing football in the streets with the homies 
And local drug dealers kicking back making money cause the crack fiend 
Was always there so I start selling that cane cause nobody never cared 
Mama at the post office working that late night shift 
Taking care of my sisters cause my daddy wasn't [bad word] 
Sweating over the stove and on a school clothes 
Open the refrigerator like where did the food go? 
Trying to do whatever I can to be a man, hope you understand 
Even when [bad word] goes wrong it's part of God's plan, Amen 

[Chorus] 
Now I lay me down to sleep,
 I pray to Lord my soul to keep 
Wake me up before I'm dead 
Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah 
Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head 
Underneath the bed, underneath the bed 

[Game - Verse 2] 
Laying here staring at this Doggystyle poster on my wall 
Banging Snoop Dogg spinning this basketball, what the f-ck is going on? 
In a n-gga head, all of my homies gone to jail, or they end up dead
Got my first tattoo tear when I was 19, chasing a pipe dreams 
Chrenshaw boulevard chilling, that was the night scene 
And like the movies, n-ggas act a fool 
When you pushing a beemer, who gives a f-ck about a School? 
Mom's seta curfew, but I was breaking all the rules 
Kicked a n-gga out the house so I started forming my crew 
Getting a little bigger on my own, in the 12 grade crips scheming on me 
Cause they know my trap self made, trying to get by or getting high

That's how I survived, be a leader not a follower, that's how them cowards die 
Pay 'em no mind but keep my chrome to the end of time 
Feeling like no n-gga can see me I think they're going blind 

[Chorus] 
Now I lay me down to sleep,
 I pray to Lord my soul to keep 
Wake me up before I'm dead 
Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah 
Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head 
Underneath the bed, underneath the bed 

[Game - Verse 3] 
Seemed like just yesterday a n-gga was only 21 
Showing the little homies how to use a f-cking gun 
Now look what I become, n-gga was on the run 
From the coptom slums, they right, like father like son 
But I'm missing them days when I couldn't roll up a blunt 
Bust the windows out of cars just to only drive it once 
Yeah them was the days but now a n-gga getting paid 
Pouring down rose for my n-ggas in the grave 
My n-gga Big Will and my homie PD 
Feel like yesterday we was just running in the streets 
And I swear to God funny how the time fly 
And the only thing certain is that we all die 
So let your soul fly 

[Chorus] 
Now I lay me down to sleep,
 I pray to Lord my soul to keep 
Wake me up before I'm dead 
Don't bury me with monsters in my head, yeah 
Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head 
Underneath the bed, underneath the bed
