Knight Fall (Amended LP Version) - Coolio
When night falls over the city
I gotta be ready cuz it feels like
Somebodys comin ta get me
Its ten-o-clock
And darkness comes to my area
And every night its a little bit more scarier
The eleven-o-clock Monday news
Is more like a horror flick
People sure have changed
It seems that they enjoying this
Death and distruction
With no instruction
Leads to malfunction disruption and full consuption
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 wit coc*ine
But it still don't ease my pain
Am I insane or a victim of my own fears
What's goin on we suposed to be happy here
God don't make no junk thats what I been told
But it seems to me that God ain't in control
When night falls over the city
I gotta be ready cuz it feels like
Somebodys comin to get me
When night falls over the city
I gotta be ready cuz it feels like
Somebodys comin to get me
I need assistance
But all I get is resistance
I try to be presistant
But life can be gone in an instant
I'm scared to turn around
Cuz I know somebodys watching
I can feel they evil stares
And I know that they plottin on me
An sceamin
I wish I was dreamin
If my mind was free
I could chase away the deamons
But it ain't
And they still can't understand that
All I ever wanted in life was a chance to be a man
The some 'ol pattern
Its got me goin crazy loc
Descendent of a king but I feel like a rodo joke
Is this a sequal
Or all men created equal
The lies that you told told to the people back then
Now they is leathal
And now we swimmin in a pool like shark bait (shark bait)
Feel my pulse race
Have normal 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
When night falls over the city
I gotta be ready cuz it feels like
Somebodys comin to get me
I'm feelin depressed stiffle
My life is triful
No famly friends or relations
So I stick with my rifle
And my pistol
I'm seein stars and hearin whistles
One shot from a little junky a** 22
Tear a whole in your grisle
Won't say ta say side
Cuz the up yours fell
Off the fall by the way side
So stay yo a** on the plate side
Theres 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
Give my please
Can't somebody help a gee
And will we fight this battle for eternety
I blame you cuz my mind is not my own
So don't blame me if I tresspass in yo zone
I'm your creation
The pilot of a twisted nation
Guess this is what your facin
When night falls over the city
I gotta be ready cuz it feels like
Somebodys comin to get me
When night falls over the city
I gotta be ready cuz it feels like
Somebodys comin to get me
