Lyrics
(Self, Self, Self Protection)
Pacin' the room back and forth like a zoo lion
I can hear my heartbeat, and I'm so cryin'
It was all good a week ago
We was lit on a strip just a week ago
Now it's dominoes and ramen noodles
When the day bold-face screaming hallelujah
Waitin' on my court date
Prayin' that I'll be dead in case
I can't help myself
I've got no one to lean on
I can't catch my breath
I've got no one to breathe for
No matter how hard
I tried to do the right thing
The devil still sings
It's killing me softly (Yeah)
I worry you when I was laying in the bushes
Time's moved on I forgot about the stitches
Hit a couple licks just to make ends meet
Troubling your boy livin' live in the street
Predicted of fail, post-bail, I'll go to jail
I was lost in a fall, thank god I had y'all
Cuts a devilish lick, matter of fact, his ass sick
You can fall like a brick from my house on Deuce 6 in a hurry
One shot will leave your ass buried
Big bro deep cause his lil' ass is worried
Pulled a break of SWAT
Send the ops' on the block
Let out ten shots like a GM pulling van
I can't help myself
I've got no one to lean on
I can't catch my breath
I've got no one to breathe for
No matter how hard
I tried to do the right thing
The devil still sings
It's killing me softly
(Dear god, I've come before you)
(To lay my paving and anxiety at your feet)
(When I'm crushed by my fears and worries)
(You remind me of your pop, and your grace)
(You fear me with your peace)
(As I trust in you)
(And you, alone)
(Amen)
I can't help myself
I've got no one to lean on
I can't catch my breath
I've got no one to breathe for
No matter how hard
I tried to do the right thing
The devil still sings
It's killing me softly
(I can't help myself)
(I've got no one to lean on)
(Can't catch my breath)
(I've got no one to breathe for)
(And I tried to do the right thing)
(The devil still sings) (Still sings)
(Killing me softly) (Softly)
