Coolio - Knight Fall lyrics

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 d**h 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 c**aine 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 a**istance, 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) Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooohhhh 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 a** 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 a** 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 trespa** 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 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooohhhh
