The Neptunes - Watch Over Me lyrics

[Verse 1: Pusha T] Lord, I've seen em comin Please don't take my breath away from me while I'm runnin They got me jumpin, from these slugs that they gunnin Simple and plain, it ain't a game no more, they headhuntin Listen, Lord, I'm scared, fearin for dead I'm racin with these hollow points which slip past my head Who ever said that life's easy? Come teach me Lord Cause it's the only way for you to reach me So - many - nights - I've - cried So - many - times - I've - lied So - many - of mine - have died But I - still keep you - inside Lord, help me get away, give me some wings So I can fly away, please don't let my family cry today No longer am I choosin the wrong over the right away Anything you say, just show me a brighter day, huh? [Hook] X2 My eyes are so scarred Blind, so I go hard No matter the robbery I hope he watches over me [Verse 2 Malice] Lord, I never asked you for none of this Now I'm contemplatin' suicide, how it come to this? Lord, please explain what we livin in How I know right from wrong but still choose livin in sin Lord, if this a test, can you tell me that Will I pa** or at the end will I feel your wrath? I try to do right but the wrong always held me back My moms tell me this but the flack tell me that Lord, listen, I know you see the way we act up With no remorse for the cats who got clapped up I told them once, turned around, even told them twice Tried to let em live but by the third it was nothin nice Lord, is there a clue that you can send me To help me out just so that you don't condemn me? What would you have done had you would've been me How was I to know money bred envy? Uh [Hook] X2 [Verse 3: Malice] Lord, how do I live in a world that is so insane? With little joy but there's double pain I know you gonna see everything that's on my brain And I don't make the rules, I only play the game And I'ma win, lying, cheating or stealing If robbing means that I'm eating, I will If I gotta live this life then I'm packin a steel Survival of the fittest and I go for the k** [Verse 4: Pusha T] Uh, Lord, if you want then I will listen in Temptation is a b**h, diamonds be glistenin It's like the Devil be comin up and kissin men Had Terrar out there hustling, missling When I speak, you don't always respond back Right now, you got me waiting on the call back Lord, I beg that you don't ever let me fall back Regardless what I do, you know where my heart's at right? [Hook] X2
