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 

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) 

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 

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 

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!) 

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
