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
