Knight Fall [Amended LP Version] [Version]
Coolio

[Chorus:]
When night falls over the city
Gotta be ready cause it feels like
Somebody's comin' to get me

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: x2]

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: x2]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooohhhh

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 a** twenty-two will tear a whole in your gristle
won't stay to state side
'Cause the unpure fall off the fall by the way side
So stay your a** 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: x4]

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
