Ride
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray to God my soul to take
If I should live for other days
I pray the lord to guide my ways
I always wonder if there's meaning to the life I live
I feel I took so much that I forgot to give
I been discredited for the all the good that I did
I don't fake or front and I never tell no fib
I'm so sick and tired of the whole not fitting in
All my sunny days even have a little wind
Never been to jail but I'm always in a prison
My entire life is getting them to listen
Even as an artist I still feel so unheard
One fact about me is I'm a gift and a curse
There's evil in this earth but still I see much worse
Days pass by but my world don't turn
When it does spin it goes too fast
It's hard to think one day this'll be the past
Even though I'm young I still think will I last
Every second I waste is a second closer to ash
Writing my whole life
Earning all my stripes
One day I'm gon' die
But till then I'm gon' ride
Writing my whole life
Earning all my stripes
One day I'm gon' die
But till then I'm gon' ride
I feel I need a pencil just to show that I have purpose
Making life sweet so they don't look behind the curtains
Aint nothing guaranteed except for death that's certain
I wanna be famous even though there's killers lurking
Truthfully my life ain't nothing but the pen and paper
Gotta keep on working till I'm handed the eraser
And I can only hope that I'll be handed the stapler
So I can write more ups and downs like a dumbwaiter
I got a disconnect from people they don't understand
My life's a burried treasure that is hidden in the sand
If I die now will anybody shed a tear
Or will they just agree that I didn't belong here
Writing my whole life
Earning all my stripes
One day I'm gon' die
But till then I'm gon' ride
Writing my whole life
Earning all my stripes
One day I'm gon' die
But till then I'm gon' ride
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray to God my soul to take
If I should live for other days
I pray the lord to guide my ways
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray to God my soul to take
If I should live for other days
I pray the lord to guide my ways
I always wonder if there's meaning to the life I live
I feel I took so much that I forgot to give
I been discredited for the all the good that I did
I don't fake or front and I never tell no fib
I'm so sick and tired of the whole not fitting in
All my sunny days even have a little wind
Never been to jail but I'm always in a prison
My entire life is getting them to listen
Even as an artist I still feel so unheard
One fact about me is I'm a gift and a curse
