Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Lyrics - Foxy Brown

Hey...Yo Gav I'm wide awoke, fam. Fox.. 

[VERSE 1] 

Am I the most prolific 

Can it be that I'm one of the most gifted 

I swear at times I'm so twisted 

Outta all the occupations in the world I chose this shit 

Momma, tell me, do I have what it takes to be 

Irreplacably the best this place will see 

And yes I'm hated 

And will I go down in history as one of the most underestimated 

Lord, speak to me, are these streets the key? 

We don't snitch, we been sworn to secrecy 

I never claimed I shot guys 

I just came in the game to get my name and rep Fox 5 

I'm so close yet so far but so far 

No stars flow hard like I do 

So many years you been lied to 

I now provide you with the closest thing to rap's bible 

[CHORUS] 

(Now I lay me down to sleep) Oh lord 

(I pray the lord my soul 2 keep) 

Yes, so may years you been lied to 

I now provide you with the closest thng to rap's bible 

(If I should die before I awake) Oh lord 

(I pray the lord my soul to take) 

Fox...I gotta get my rhyme on 

And everything I speak my mind on be word to Big 

[VERSE 2] 

The industry lately's been terrible 

I swear the timing's impeccable 

Labels is bringin' in thin revenue 

I don't mean to toot my own horn bt damn, I'm incredible 

See I gots to be...possibly 

If not the best, yeah, fuck it the best MC 

And I feel they testin' me now 

I don't need Kelly or Beyonce to prove I'm Destiny's Child 

Thin I'm losin' y'all, confusin' y'all 

When I spit all I hear is "ooh's" and "aww's" 

And I don't need doubt 

See it's just me, Red, Gav, Curtains, Mello & Young Mouse 

A small portion of a dyin' breed 

It's Fox-5 slash I-N-E but still 

So many years you been lied to 

I now provide you with the closest thing to rap's bible 

[CHORUS] 

(Now I lay me down to sleep) Oh lord 

(I pray the lord my soul to keep) 

Yes, so may years you been lied to 

I now provide you with the closest thing to rap's bible 

(If I should die before I awake) Oh God 

(I pray the lord my soul to take) 

Fox...I gotta get my rhyme on 

And everything I speak my mind on be word to Pac 

[VERSE 3] 

See, it's the streets that inspire me 

This is my proof of what fire be 

My songs will please the inquiry 

My versatile personal flows written and shittin', it's like diaries 

Never tired my job, I confide in God 

And almost effortless simply defy the odds 

With the best the placin' 

Will I be able to succeed and lyrically exceed my expectations 

If I gain some fame, I'll remain the same 

It's so ill how one bitch changed the game 

And I'mma do it a lot faster 

I probly have to die before they realize I was the best rapper 

Young Fox, I'm a spittin' beast 

This rap game's a puzzle, I'm the missin' piece 

But...so many years you been lied to 

I now provide you with the closest thing to rap's bible 

[CHORUS] 

(Now I lay me down to sleep) Oh lord 

(I pray the lord my soul to keep) 

Yes, so may years you been lied to 

I now provide you with the closest thing to rap's bible 

(If I should die before I awake)Oh God 

(I pray the lord my soul to take) 

Fox...I gotta get my rhyme on 

And everything I speak my mind on be word to Pac 

Lord, this fever is so crazy, man 

I mean...everything I speak my mind on be word to Pac, yes 

Oh God
