Chorus:
When night falls over the city
Gotta be ready cause it feels like
Somebody's
comin to get me
Verse 1:
It's ten o'clock and darkness covers my area
And every
night it's gettin a little bit more scarier
The eleven o'clock monday news is mo like a horror
flick
People sure have changed, it seems that they enjoying this
Death and
destruction
With no instruction
Leads to malfunction, disruption, and full
consumption
How can i escape this mind state that i'm in?
I been tryin, but it seems that
i can't win
I've fallen and i can't get up
And the homies that was my homies went and set
me up
Somebody tried to tell me that it was all in my brain
I tried to act a hard male
runnin cocaine
But it still don't ease my pain
Am i insane or a victim of my own
fears?
What's goin on we supposed to be happy here
God don't make no junk that's what i
been told
But it seems to me that god ain't in control
Chorus:
When night falls
over the city (when the night falls)
Gotta be ready cause it feels like (feels like
somebody)
Somebody's comin to get me (when the night falls)
When night falls over
the city (when the night falls, ooh-yeah)
I gotta be ready cause it feels like
Somebody's
comin to get me (comin to get me)
Verse 2:
I need assistance, but all i get is
resistance
I try to be persistent, but life can be gone in an instant
I'm scared to turn
around cause i know somebody's watching
I can feel they evil stares, and i know that they
plottin on me
And scheamin, i wish i was dreamin
If my mind was free i could chase away
the demons
But in ain't, and they still can't understand that
All i ever wanted in life
was a chance to be a man
The same old pattern has got me goin crazy, loc
Descendent of a
king, but i feel like a royal joke
Is this a sequel?
Are all men created equal?
The
lies you told to the people back then now they is lethal
And now we swimmin in a pool like
shark bait (like shark bait!)
Feel my pulse race, abnormal heart rate (heart rate!)
And
now i'm startin to feel like i might come up missin
I tried to tell somebody but nobody
wouldn't listen
Chorus:
When night falls (when the night falls) over the city (over
the city)
Gotta be ready cause it feels like
Somebody's comin to get me (comin to get
me)
When night falls (when the night falls, yeah) over the city
I gotta be ready
cause it feels like (i wanna be)
Somebody's comin to get me (comin)
Verse 3:
I'm feelin
oppressed, this stifle
My life is trifle
No family, friends, or relations, so i sleep with
my rifle
And my pistol, i'm seein stars and hearin whistles
One shot from a little junky
ass twenty-two will tear a whole in your gristle
Wont stay to state side
Cause the unpure
fall off the fall by the way side
So stay your ass on the plate side
There's nothin to
fear but the fear itself
And if you control the fear then the fear is wealth
Do i have
power or do i have no self control?
These long, lonely nights have made my heart grow cold
Hear my pleads, can somebody help a g
And, will we fight this battle for eternity
I blame
you cause my mind is not my own
So, don't blame me if i trespass in yo zone
I'm your
creation
The product of a twisted nation
Guess this is what you're facin (facin!)
Chorus:
When night falls (when the sun goes down) over the city (over the city)
Gotta be ready cause it feels like
Somebody's comin to get me (somebody help me!)
When night falls (when the night falls) over the city (over the city)
Gotta be ready cause it
feels like (over the city, over the city, over the city!)
Somebody's comin to get me
When night falls (when the night falls) over the city
Gotta be ready cause it feels like
Somebody's comin to get me
When night falls (when the night falls) over the city
(over!)
Gotta be ready cause it feels like
Somebody's comin to get me
When
night falls over the city
I gotta be ready cause it feels like
Somebody's comin to get me
(comin to get me, get me, get me, get me, get me)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
