Goodbye Lullaby - Derek Minor

Everyone tellin' me I need to calm down

I’ve been goin' crazy, feelin' like I’m losin' it

Though I got it all now, the Devil he been waitin'

I’ve been on his menu, guess I’m finally in his claws now

Trying to avoid the fall now, steal my innocence

I need to repent, I am not perfect

You should now that by now

I’ve been medicatin' everything away

I’m just trying not to ever feel the pain

I already know that it’s wrong

Quit talkin' to me, leave me 'lone

I member some people that say they the light

They be the ones that bout to make me hard as darkness

Skeletons all in my closet, skeletons turn into monster

If there is a God and you’re right here and you’re listening

I’m tired of it all, oh I’m tired of it all

Cause I see death in my nightmares

In my nightmares, in my nightmares

In my nightmares, in my nightmares

I got voices in my head that always come and talk to me

And my fear is Freddy Kruger cause they stalk me in my dreams

I see slave ship, guns, clips, gang colors, prison cells, dope fiends

Jim Crow, Jim Beam, pills, lean, no justice, no peace

Felonies and misdemeanors

Wondering if we curse

Can I get my degree first?

'Fore they murder me, no degree first

It’s America we get the green first

You feed the poor but its greed first

Livin' water but I die of thirst

If there is a God and you’re right here and you’re listening

I’m tired of it all, oh I’m tired of it all

Cause I see death in my nightmares

In my nightmares, in my nightmares

In my nightmares, in my nightmares

But just when I was drowning

Surrounded by a sea of my own darkness

Then light broke through

And just as I was swallowed by my own fears

Then light broke through

Now all I see is you, you, you

God all I see is you, you, you

All I see is you, you, you

All I see is you, you, you, you
