[Intro: Deuce Deuce]
We are dying in every city (Right)
In every state and every town (Right)
And what is the justice department doing?
Why don't you step up to the plate?
Justice department, and fight for the rights of those
Whose rights are being trampled upon
By the force and power of the army of police
F.B.I., A.T.F., Sheriffs and what not
What are you trying to force us to do?
*Crowd applause*

Yo, can't rewind shit
When the time comes, check it
Consequences and repercussions to every action

[Verse 1: Deuce Deuce]
When the time comes and it's all said and done
I ain't do this shit for fun
Time I can't replace it, we stay tryna chase it
Ill natured, no hesitation, I get so close I can almost taste it
It's within reach
But I seem to lose my grasp, I ain't wanna ask for much (Never did)
Just some food to fill the guts and my little ones
A bed, a roof over they head
I've played this game faithfully (Play it)
Not knowing what's around the corner that awaits for me
And until then I won't leave the shit alone
I know the angels is cryin' another one dyin'
Mountains, stay tryna climb 'em
The work on consignment
One of the livest, but slept on ya, dead wrong
I ain't tryna take your life, yours or mines, won't think twice
Choose life over death, keep bumpin' 'til there's nothin' left
Ask yourself, would you really try to rep, no depth in your soul
Flossin' got astray, we try to live to see another day
Some will say, they livin' for today and the moment
They trapped in time, wake up the next mornin'
Without a dime, I've seen them days, had to change my ways
Don't speak too soon, from the womb to the tomb I presume
This is more than just a tune, this is more than music
[Chorus]
Stay with me, don't fall asleep too soon
The angels can wait for the moment
Stay with me, don't fall asleep too soon
The angels can wait for the moment

[Verse 2: Young Noble]
(Fly with me now)
Surrounded by devils, tryna walk with the angels (Angels)
Lookin' at my life, from a whole 'nother angle (Angle)
Time changes, best friends become strangers
Keep ya enemies close even though that shit is dangerous (Pain)
We just want a piece, tell me, how can you blame us? (Blame us)
I just want the bread, never wanted to be famous (Famous)
Blinded by the lights, all these cameras in our faces (Faces)
Tryna stay humble, grateful and gracious
The dirty game of life, is so amazing (Yeah)
The life and the death, the love and the hatred
All they see is the shine (Shine) Caught up in the matrix
Get up on your grind, ain't no time for wastin'
I ain't perfect prayin' for a little patience (Prayin' for a little patience)
Stickin' to the thug code, like it's sacred
Runaway slave, escapin' the plantation (C'mon)
Hope for the hopeless, my whole thug nation
We can make it!
[Chorus:E.D.I. Mean]
Stay with me, don't fall asleep too soon
The angels can wait for the moment (Yeah!)
Stay with me, don't fall asleep too soon (For the fallen angels)
The angels can wait for the moment (Edi)

[Verse 3: E.D.I. Mean]
While these n***as was gettin they feet wet
I was reppin' my set, cheatin' death, follow my steps (Follow)
Short days, long nights, on the quest for the check
Mama said no matter what you do, keep your respect
Sit back and relish the hellish times
Let that good shit embellish my mind, playboy I'm doin' fine (Fine)
When they aks how I'm doin', yeah that's what I say (That's what I say)
'Cause when you've seen what I've seen, a gift is another day
Tell 'em n***as to stay strong, we doin' it for Trayvon
For justice we won't wait long (No!)
Him and no love, the angels watchin' our backs
But it's still a shame like Newports, we dyin' in packs
Gone too soon, save a spot for us in heaven
'Cause I know it's gettin' crowded (Crowded) Will it change? No I doubt it
Gone too soon, save a spot for us in heaven
'Cause I know it's gettin' crowded (Crowded) Will it change?
I doubt it

[Chorus]
Stay with me, don't fall asleep too soon
The angels can wait for the moment
Stay with me, don't fall asleep too soon
The angels can wait for the moment
