Knight Fall Lyrics - My Soul - Coolio

When night falls over the city 

Gotta be ready 'cause it feels like 

Somebody's comin' to get me 

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 more 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 want to 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 

When night falls over the city 

Gotta be ready 'cause it feels like 

Somebody's comin' to get me 

When night falls over the city 

Gotta be ready 'cause it feels like 

Somebody's comin' to get me 

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 it 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 

Descendant 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 the pool like shark bait 

Feel my pulse race, abnormal 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 

When night falls over the city 

Gotta be ready 'cause it feels like 

Somebody's comin' to get me 

When night falls over the city 

Gotta be ready 'cause it feels like 

Somebody's comin' to get me 

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 your gristle 

Won't 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' 

When night falls over the city 

Gotta be ready 'cause it feels like 

Somebody's comin' to get me 

When night falls over the city 

Gotta be ready 'cause it feels like 

Somebody's comin' to get me 

When night falls over the city 

Gotta be ready 'cause it feels like 

Somebody's comin' to get me 

When night falls over the city 

Gotta be ready 'cause it feels like 

Somebody's comin' to get me 

When night falls over the city 

Gotta be ready 'cause it feels like 

Somebody's comin' to get me
