Its a quiet night
All the doors locked tight
And the boys are sleeping
Economies changed
Pays the same
But the weights increasin
How do you expect a man to get up
While the game is cheatin
They sayin do the best I can
3 Jobs work on the weekend

Lord, please hear my prayer
Fo I lay me down
My back against the wall
oh lord come get me
Protect my seed from evil deed
I need you
Oh lord, bless me
Fo I lay me down

The last few years
I see some things
Just couldn't believe it
There I go but for
The grace of God
Read it in the paper
People on the street
Its a legal sweep, put'm in a cage
Sellin tickets to the moon
But you can't pay rent on minimum wage

Lord, please hear my prayer
Fo I lay me down
My back against the wall
oh lord come get me
Protect my seed from evil deed
I need you
Oh lord, bless me
Fo I lay me down

No sense loosen my mind over struggle
Cause some things will never change
And when the wheel at the well is broken
You still remain

Lord, please hear my prayer
Fo I lay me down
My back against the wall
oh lord come get me
Protect my seed from evil deed
I need you
Oh lord, bless me
Fo I lay me down
