Lyrics Now I Lay Me - Apollo Poetic

Now I lay me, down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die, before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
If I cannot find my way
I pray the lord will guide my fate
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord will help my dream

Praying up to God
Yeah
Talking to the Devil
Damn
Jumping in feet first, buried with the shovel
I'm still looking up, little down, not in trouble
Feel the dark night while I climb out the rubble
Sorta two-faced
Even Joker got a motiv
I been used to looking down, talking up, and being humble
Got this feeling, wanna drown, swimming now I feel the hustle
I know they tryna clown, gotta Phelps my way through struggle
No this ain't Olympics but Olympus how I'm feeling
God mode Apollo while I spit I'm building reverence
Preaching bout the real, the feel, what the deal is
Teaching life a lesson
So respect me as a reverend
Cause the future's what you make it
Not the cards that you're dealt with
King yourself first then discover what your wealth is
Played the cards I'm dealt
Now you're seeing how I dealt this
Yeah

Now I lay me, down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die, before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
If I cannot find my way
I pray the lord will guide my fate
Now I lay me, down to sleep
I pray the lord will help my dream

Now I lay me, down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die, before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
If I cannot find my way
I pray the lord will guide my fate
Now I lay me, down to sleep
Yeah
Now I lay me, down to sleep

Spitting all this Venom
While they Marvel at a menace
Feeling that I'm truthful
Causing Carnage with my lyrics
But they know I'm making use of all the time I be pursuing
And the lyrics that I'm writing paint tomorrow in the music
The way that I predict I'm like nostalgia from the future
Cause I know I'm gonna make it
And I know this is my field
And I own it like I'm paying
But I'm living through the present cause today is what you make it
Damn
You can never build if you're focused on the waiting
So I'm taking all my orders and I'm cooking in the kitchen
Cause the backstage work is where you're smelling all the vision
And the food I've been plating's just a product of my greatness
And the service I've been giving steady proves the dedication
And the dreams I've been hosting built the living I predicted
And now I'm serving dishes that my haters wish they minted
Damn
That my haters wish they minted

Now I lay me, down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die, before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
If I cannot find my way
I pray the lord will guide my fate
Now I lay me, down to sleep
I pray the lord will help my dream

Now I lay me, down to sleep
Na-Now I lay me, down to sleep
Now I lay me, down to sleep
Na-Now I lay me, down to sleep
Now I lay me, down to sleep
Na-Now I lay me, down to sleep

Now I lay me, down to sleep
I pray the lord will help my dream
If I die, before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
If I cannot find my way
I pray the lord will guide my fate
Now I lay me, down to sleep
Yeah
Now I lay me, down to sleep
I pray the lord will help my dream
Pray the lord will help my dream
