One Night You
guitar chords lyrics
If only for one night, he/
Could escape his life, he/
Gladly take that flight, he/
Finally get a night's sleep, see/
If only for one night, he/
Could escape his life, he/
Gladly take that flight, he
Finally get a night's sleep/
If only for one night he could leave/
If only for one night...
He heard his momma cry last Tuesday/
Heard a victim momma cry last Monday/
It's like any day in the hood could be your doomsday/
So he vowed that he'd make it out one day/
Old man up the block said, "Son, pray"/
It's like any day in the hood could be your doomsday/
So he vowed that he'd make it out one day/
Old man up the block said, "Son, pray"/
Would go to church, but it was shot up last Sunday/
In his hood where he lived, it was not a game/
Even though there was plenty of gunplay/
Young age, barely legal, trapped in a maze, trynna parry evil/
Can't sleep, he gets awakened to a sound of a bird/
Not talking about a rooster, but a Desert Eagle/
If only for one night, he could rest in peace/
Without hearing that someone from his block 'Rest In Peace'/
Or waking up house empty because of an effing thief/
So much stress, it seems it's not even best to sleep/
He may not awake, he might have a wake/
Want a piece of the pie but can't have a taste/
Life working him hard, no lunch, can't have a break/
Feelin' outta place, even in his place/
The grounds that he walk on are very shaky/
And the Earth doesn't even really need to quake/
He seen a homicide last Thursday/
A ho fucked in the alley last Hump Day/
A normal Friday, for him would be your worst day/
So he vowed that he'd make it out someday/
He tries, and tries, and tries to have some faith/
But it's like he running the wrong way down the one way/
At night, with blinding headlights in his eyes/
Every car he's trynna dodge but it seems won't none break/
Cause his life is just as unsafe, hombre/
No umbrella, but so much rain/
No sunny days, it's like the Sun's on break/
He 'bout to go off like his lights that's unpaid/
All he hear is helicopters, sirens of hella coppers/
The screams of the future patients of several doctors/
Cries of all the babies being neglected/
All because the mother didn't like to have sex protected/
And the yelling of little rebellious hellion fellas who felons/
Because they fell in with the wrong crowd/
Now they're falling and failing all because they hailing from somewhere hellish/
Life is hell and a bitch, he call her Helen/
He be telling Helen, he don't wanna stress/
Like a cop who won't cuff you, he won't arrest/
The other night he tried to close his eyes/
But as usual, his pops stumbled in a drunken mess/
Reeking of Hennessy, speaking obscenities/
Showing his true evil identity, yelling at his moms/
He can hear the screaming off in his sleep/
So he reached for the semi piece/
Cause he's tired of him beating her seemingly endlessly/
Feeling like, "With this piece, I'll finally get some peace"/
For life he's given me, fam don't play the enemy/
So it's gonna be the end of him or it's the end of me/
Cause all this rage and anger that live in me, he finna see/
Then I'm a ask God to deliver me, give a nigga some sympathy/
Don't let the judge sentence me or cops get a grip on me/
The hood's already imprisoned me/
Somewhere secluded, I flee for serenity/
Hoping that one day, mom would have forgiven me/
And nobody would remember me/
But hopefully I get some sleep for just at least...
One night, one night, ohh ohhh, to you
(Hopefully I get some sleep for just at least)
One night, one night, ohh ohhh, to you
