Lay Me Down Lyrics

Winter comes, drown away my sorrow Life goes on, wishing for tomorrow

Set the fire, make my heart grow Touch my soul, run the way over

Winter comes, drown away my sorrow Life goes on, wishing for tomorrow

Set the fire, make my heart grow Touch my soul, run the way over

Now I lay my head down to sleep And I pray to the Lord that he take my soul to keep

Say now I lay my head down to sleep And I pray to the Lord that he take my soul to keep

I'm walking in your steps, walking in your grace Walking in your presence, the future is here

Matter of fact, that shit a present, a gift So I'm focused on the skill and the craft

And I'm trying to figure this shit out, so I adapt

And here comes the laughs, and here comes the judgment

And I'm passing on, moving like I really got disgusted

And I don't need that shit, I don't need that public

I got it and it's private, I got it, I'm the pilot

Now watch how I get goddess

I lay my head down, I tell you all about it

That lil' story with a sad lil' town

That lil' story, everybody talking round

And everybody said shit, but ain't said a sound

When the cops come around, how that shit work

Not how your mind work

But as I lay my head down and how this rhyme work

It's effortless

I worked this shit and I perfected it

Now check this shit

Say now I lay my head down to sleep

And I pray to the Lord that he take my soul to keep

Say now I lay my head down to sleep

And I pray to the Lord that he take my soul to keep

I'm still down on my knees

Thankful for the opportunity to see

I'm thankful for the opportunity to breathe

I woke up and then I'm still mobile

Old man told me all this shit is vertical

Yeah, man, it never horizontal

Unless I'm laying down just to rest up on the mantel

It really got me stuck, hm

When it comes to these fucking bucks

Man, this shit has got the world all fucking stuck

It's fucked up the way they mind work

But I can't adjust that shit like the mind works

Deep up under the ground is how the time works

When I slow it down, I find out how my mind work

That my earth is spinning like my soul do

Feeling like I told you

Spinning like I gotta show you

And then I owe you

Some time just to calm it down

Then lay it down and rest your soul

And rest your mind so you can just go ahead and grow

Just like them roots from the bottom when you plant the seed

I'm trying to tell the people, man, the shit they need

You begging please, but you never putting in the effort

I'm trying to tell you this shit is kinda like the shepherd

It's top shelf when I grabbed it, then I open

And then I tell you shit, bout some shit like golden token

When you put it in machine and ain't get shit back

I lay it down and I tell you how that shit lapse

Now I lay my head down to sleep

And I pray to the lord that he take my soul to keep

And hold it strong

So now I lay my head down to sleep

And hold it strong

And I pray to the lord that he take my soul to keep

Yeah, I done told you once, I'ma tell you twice

Everything is nice, it's how you look at life

Open up your eyes and open up your mind

And you can make a change, you can be the right

You can be the left and you can be the night

Just give me my shield and we can fucking fight

I don't need no sword and then I defend up on some shores

And then I swim when it's time to get my ass back to shore, yeah

So now I lay my head down to sleep

And have no fear

And I pray to the lord that he take my soul to keep

And I'm still here, still gripping to the vision till I focus in

And now I really think I seen some shit within

That shit was deep, and then I grabbed the wheel and reeled it in

How the fuck I get the will again

Now I lay my head down to sleep

And I pray to the lord that he take my soul to keep

So now I lay my head down
