Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep lyrics

[Intro]
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 sh*t
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

[Hook]
(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 thng 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 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 but damn, I'm incredible
See I gots to be, possibly
If not the best, yeah, f*ck 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 god
(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 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 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 sh*ttin', 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 b*tch changed the game
And I'mma do it a lot faster
I probably 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

[Hook]
(Now I lay me down to sleep) Oh lord
(I pray the lord my soul to keep)
Yeah, 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
[Outro]
Lord, this fever is so crazy, man
I mean, everything I speak my mind on be word to Pac, yes
Oh God!
Lord..
