Don't Let the World Take Me - song lyrics
I wanna get a little real here
Bear with me
It isn't that simple
I was scared of what I could become
So instead I did nothing but stared, crippled
Two heads are better than one
But all we do is bicker, wondering who's bigger
This mother fucker in the mirror
Gonna need to grow UP and get OVER himself huh
Good luck
You look as if the years laid a beating on you
You still eating though I see
Now my ego's killing me like son of a gun
Run bruh, run
It don't get easy
No it don't get easy
Yeah I've been a little fake in the past, I'll admit it
I've been slipping for a minute and can't snag a grip but I'm getting
Adamant about it, attitude and cowardice
Are teeter-tottering with all the rest of my imbalances
I wasn't ready for these challenges
Innocent to savagery they caught me with pants down no bad dream
No vaccine for cancer and bad knees
These woes inevitable
Evidently life aint sweet no ice cream for ya
Blood, sweat, tears, in the muck we toil
God I trust You but its dust, no soil here
Reminds me of a Farmer throwing Seeds at stones here
And choking on the weeds that are growing nearby
Bye bye
He Who Has Ears To Hear, Let Him Hear huh
Why try
No one listening, now check it my hands red, glistening
Sinning again and again for the Repetitions
My Reputation Represented by caricatures
Villainy, rubbing my palms together like what's your plan sir
No answer, witty banter from a wannabe chanter
Grandeur dreams, walking in his sleep he's holding hands with his
Alter ego, used to walk along the altar with Allah, we know
Now he's all alone gone Nemo
I've been taking the beaten path
And it don't get easy
I've been taking the beaten path, yeah
I don't know how long imma last
I don't know how long imma last on it
I've taken bumps and bruises
A couple shots from Cupid
I should've stayed on my stoop
I could've laid off the Fruit for a while
Minding my business like a good little child
Mourning my innocence, say hi
To Gramps for me
And ask him
To PRAY FOR ME PRAY FOR ME
Don't Let The World Take Me, World Take Me
World Take Me
PRAY FOR ME PRAY FOR ME
Don't Let The World Take Me, World Take Me
World Take Me
PRAY FOR ME
Don't Let The World Take Me, World Take Me
World Take Me
Don't let em take me
Don't let em take me
Don't Let The World Take Me, World Take Me
World Take Me
PRAY FOR ME PRAY FOR ME
Don't Let The World Take Me, World Take Me
World Take Me
PRAY FOR ME
Don't Let The World Take Me, World Take Me
World Take Me
Don't let em take me
Don't let em take me
