Ratatat - The Prayer, Pt. 2 lyrics

[Verse: G, The Wiz] Deep thoughts, inside my head And my account is in the red Some words best said I've put to bed Because my own damn book is hard to sell And my last mixtape it couldn't trend Because my label team is thin is as thread I dropped it all clocked in at work Since eighteen I've been mopping floors And yesterday I didn't ask what for I can't believe it when the system won And in my heart I couldn't say I'm done This was the first thing I fell in love When I made a beat and wrote a rhyme It didn't cheat on me for a different life I don't need a wife and I don't need kids If I can't live a life where I don't pretend That I can make it, make ends meat And time I know I can't defeat d**h catches you when you expect it least So I remember I still pay the lease For my soul, for my body For my words, for my journey Ones in you, and ones in me You wake up daily but are you free? Are you your person or the catch Are you the bait or the fact Just a number on an epitaph Between two years you had a chance But you left it all thinking that I had tomorrow, but it's today Yesterday I tell myself just what I said Right now today And my biggest fear is that I'll fall in love With a girl who loves me back Because heaven knows I don't stand a chance Of loving I, I don't know who is that But still I'll try to be that guy Who does his grind and falls in line On the web with a rhyme Without a limelight, without a dime Who am I to say that I'll be famous Who said I ever wanted to be famous So if I die tonight let my words be the light To all the struggle rappers who bought their first mic Thinking One day I'll be just like my idols Who stand hours in the lines to get their name on posters To ones desire I look forward to the day when I walk to the pearly gates Where I'll know for sure, I'll know for sure If this life I lived was the one I was required And I'm sorry, I'm sorry for what I say I never took a sip of gin to k** a day I only hit it once on a foggy day So you would never know Of things I know I shouldn't feel ashamed This is my will, my prayer, Kid Cudi, part two This is the hardest written part I couldn't tell you And this life design was so divine That if I could make it in a sound Guess what I would find? This is my song My anthem to the afterlife This is the only thing that I was able to call life So sleep tonight So sleep tonight Dear brother, dear sisters Dear mom, sleep tonight So sleep tonight So sleep tonight Dear brother, dear sisters Dear mom, sleep tonight So if I die alone, if I die in my sleep If I don't wake up to go to work this upcoming week Just know god had other plans A person to seek A tired old soul watching stars as you sleep So If I die tonight, if I die in my sleep If the pulse goes flat in high pitch beep Just know I did everything I could Everything I could be And god made no mistake on this fingerprint Yeah
