Lyrics Sundown - Patrick Spades

Praying for my downfall get up off your knees
Time to take mine I ain't even asking please
Hard times done turned my heart cold I felt it freeze
Even in the summer time I still keep on the heat
Why can't we put the guns down
If I do that I might get gunned down
You know how it go when the sun down
Momma they ain't gone lay your son down naw

Raised on the block no alarm clock
Waking up from fireworks nah them gunshots
Momma fed me and my brother out of one pot
Even when she ain't have nothing for her lunchbox
The only pops I ever had was the cereal
Until I learned how to tote that nine and keep it near me close
Yeah I pray to god but it's hard do he hear me though
Jesus take the wheel but I'm leaking power steering whoa
Slip in these streets and it's ugly
Sharks want to know where that blood be
Backstabbers with the knife always want to hug me
Talking about how they love me
These hoes will do you dirty
Yeah set you up muddy
That how I lost me a cousin
That's why I keep me a little buddy for buddy
Treat me like monkey pox better not touch me
This ain't a courtroom so please do not judge me
You don't even know my case
Why I got so many shoes cause I remember when I couldn't afford the fakes
Used to be scrapping the plate
Now I make reservations I don't wait
But still on my money hungry hustle niggas in trouble
If they don't drop to they knees and say they grace but if you

Praying for my downfall get up off your knees
Time to take mine I ain't even asking please
Hard times done turned my heart cold I felt it freeze
Even in the summer time I still keep on the heat
Why can't we put the guns down
If I do that I might get gunned down
You know how it go when the sun down
Momma they ain't gone lay your son down naw

Hustle up out of the struggle
Feeling like nobody love you
Riding solo I don't trust you
Automatic still clutching
Dead homies got a dozen
Teachers ain't teach us nothing
Dead beat daddy fuck him
Acapella I don't love him
Thank god for my momma
Thank god for my momma
Had to say it twice for you
That's my woman king warrior
Never needed no lawyer
I ain't even got a record
But that don't mean I won't do it to you
That just mean that I'm a smart stepper
Haters salty I keep pepper
I'm hot dawg better catch up
We got the same twenty four hours
What's your excuse for no lettuce
I ain't even go to college
Living better than some scholars
Time tools and street knowledge
Is all I needed to unlock these powers
Eat with us or get ate like after seven
Money talks I ain't even think I had to tell them
My name fizzing when I drop something alka seltzer
Aks ars don't let me alphabet you
Or my knife can take a swipe like credit or debit
You want come catch it
Sick my dogs on you and they going to go fetch it
Keep it clean I ain't the one you should mess with
I just checked another check off my checklist

Praying for my downfall get up off your knees
Time to take mine I ain't even asking please
