Chorus:

When night falls over the city

Gotta be ready cause it feels like

Somebody's comin to get me



Verse 1:

It's ten o'clock and darkness covers my area

And every night it's gettin a little bit more scarier

The eleven o'clock monday news is mo like a horror flick

People sure have changed, it seems that they enjoying this

Death and destruction

With no instruction

Leads to malfunction, disruption, and full consumption

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 runnin cocaine

But it still don't ease my pain

Am i insane or a victim of my own fears?

What's goin on we supposed to be happy here

God don't make no junk that's what i been told

But it seems to me that god ain't in control



Chorus:

When night falls over the city (when the night falls)

Gotta be ready cause it feels like (feels like somebody)

Somebody's comin to get me (when the night falls)



When night falls over the city (when the night falls, ooh-yeah)

I gotta be ready cause it feels like

Somebody's comin to get me (comin to get me)



Verse 2:

I need assistance, but all i get is resistance

I try to be persistent, but life can be gone in an instant

I'm scared to turn around cause i know somebody's watching

I can feel they evil stares, and i know that they plottin on me

And scheamin, i wish i was dreamin

If my mind was free i could chase away the demons

But in ain't, and they still can't understand that

All i ever wanted in life was a chance to be a man

The same old pattern has got me goin crazy, loc

Descendent of a king, but i feel like a royal joke

Is this a sequel?

Are all men created equal?

The lies you told to the people back then now they is lethal

And now we swimmin in a pool like shark bait (like shark bait!)

Feel my pulse race, abnormal 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



Chorus:

When night falls (when the night falls) over the city (over the city)

Gotta be ready cause it feels like

Somebody's comin to get me (comin to get me)



When night falls (when the night falls, yeah) over the city

I gotta be ready cause it feels like (i wanna be)

Somebody's comin to get me (comin)



Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooohhhh



Verse 3:

I'm feelin oppressed, this stifle

My life is trifle

No family, friends, or relations, so i sleep with my rifle

And my pistol, i'm seein stars and hearin whistles

One shot from a little junky ass twenty-two will tear a whole in your gristle

Wont stay to state side

Cause the unpure fall off the fall by the way side

So stay your ass on the plate side

There's 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

Hear my pleads, can somebody help a g

And, will we fight this battle for eternity

I blame you cause my mind is not my own

So, don't blame me if i trespass in yo zone

I'm your creation

The product of a twisted nation

Guess this is what you're facin (facin!)



Chorus:

When night falls (when the sun goes down) over the city (over the city)

Gotta be ready cause it feels like

Somebody's comin to get me (somebody help me!)



When night falls (when the night falls) over the city (over the city)

Gotta be ready cause it feels like (over the city, over the city, over the city!)

Somebody's comin to get me



When night falls (when the night falls) over the city

Gotta be ready cause it feels like

Somebody's comin to get me



When night falls (when the night falls) over the city (over!)

Gotta be ready cause it feels like

Somebody's comin to get me



When night falls over the city

I gotta be ready cause it feels like

Somebody's comin to get me (comin to get me, get me, get me, get me, get me)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooohhhh
