COOLIO LYRICS - Knight Falls

"Knight Falls"



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 im in

I been tryin but it seems that I can't win

I've fallen and I cant 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 cocaine

but it still dont ease my pain

Am I insane or a victim of my own fears

Whats goin on we suposed to be happy here

God dont make no junk thats what I been told

But it seems to me that God aint in control



[Chorus]

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

Im 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 aint

And they still cant 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 im startin to feel like I might come up missin

I tried to tell somebody but nobody wouldnt listen



[Chorus]



Im feelin depressed stiffle

My life is triful

No famly, friends, or relations

So I stick with my rifle

And my pistol

Im seein stars and hearin whistles

One shot from a little junky ass 22

Tear a whole in your grisle

Wont say ta say side

Cuz the up yours fell

Off the fall by the way side

So stay yo ass 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

Cant somebody help a gee

And will we fight this battle for eternety

I blame you cuz my mind is not my own

So dont blame me if I tresspass in yo zone

Im your creation

The pilot of a twisted nation

Guess this is what your facin



[Chorus]
