Young Noble
Stay Awake (Don’t Fall Asleep)
[Napoleon quotes the bible during intro]

[Napoleon]
I better put my.. Boots on, bullet proof vest just to keep on
Plan plot strategize, all i heard that be4 we die it ain't no mercy
I roll with the best down from west to jersey
Outlawz cemetary, Do ya feel me, be4 ya buried
Feel this curse; thatll take ya momma and her purse
Burn ya house down to tha dirt, as i watch smile and smirk
Im on a mission like im fishion plus im dommin ya Homboyz knivin
Bust tha crime, cuz ya block is down, so whys they tryin?
Enough to Drive by but i hope the blood clat, ??? ???
Tha feds dont know why its bumpin Outlawz....

[Young Noble]
Somtimes i feel like im... hollow inside!
Im down to drive, for all the times i cried
Replied, by gettin high, commitin crimes
Disobeyin orders, never snitchin or slangin quarters
Dizsazzed from the tizsnatched them motherfuckers always on us
No room to breath, steady under siege,even when we grieve
Thats why im thinkin twice about plantin seedz
Cause these is fucked up cards they delt us
Too late to try to fuckin help us
Wonder why n***as dont mind they eldaz
Pain and pleasure, its all apart of dealin with fate
Yung n***as you betta pray, open ya eyez, stay awake!!!
Comon!
[Chorus: Young Noble]
Young n***as did ya pray today?
My young n***as did ya pray today?
C'mon
Open your eyes n***a stay awake
Climbin' closer to the pearly gates
Young n***as did ya pray today?
My young n***as did ya pray today?
C'mon
Open your eyes n***a stay awake
Climbin' closer to the pearly gates

[E.D.I. Mean]
I often ask why must we live this way, I'm forced to ride on yet another day
My comrade left this life but remember, His good deeds Outweighed his sin so father let him enter
Im on a journey, where the answer dont concern me
Certainly, I wish for better thangs, be rich, stay ahead a thangs, but shit
But how much can I take? I'm halfway gone allday
My life's only mission is ridin out n gettin paid
Outlaw, till the last breath I take - forever soulja
Ridin oh so righteously, untill its ova
And it ain't gon be over n***a! no time soon
Prepare for doom, death, gloom, shit ain't no need to assume
We black Jesus disciples, takin off when we sight you
Bein led by the fact, that I can't sleep the night thru
[Chorus: E.D.I. Mean]
My young n***a did ya pray today?
But sure in heaven there's a place to stay
We was born to ride, it's gon' stay dat way
It's da pain that help me stay awake
My young n***a did ya pray today?
But sure in heaven there's a place to stay
We was born to ride, it's gon' stay dat way
It's da pain that help me stay awake

[Kastro]
While dey tryna to find me, trippin, kissin my own kitchen floor
Fucked up, plus my throat cut, fiend galore
Operating under thug lawz as a warrior!!!
Still a Bad Boy killa
Mobb Deep gon' feel it even more
Kiss dez tats on my arms daly, Talkin ta whoeva hear me!
Knownin I'm goin home soon! oh heil! Mr Makaveli!
Top dolla, thug schola father on my team, standin away, Contemplate my fate, n seein demonz
Shit, if I fall asleep soon too awake n screamin
In my sheetz, sweatin, weapon n da air, scared breatin
Fast eyes high gleamin, even seein me blasted
It's like my mind playin tricks, on my muafukin azz
Fast times or hard liqure, prolly finally catch up
But still I'm gettin fucked up, eyes, wide on a come up
So when I run up, best believe it's with a big ol thang!
The Thang I know fo sho to tear a mothafucka out da frame
[Chorus: Young Noble]
My young n***as did ya pray today?
My young n***as did ya pray today?
C'mon
Open your eyes n***a stay awake
Climbin' closer to the pearly gates

[Chorus: E.D.I. Mean]
My young n***a did ya pray today?
But sure in heaven there's a place to stay
C'mon
We was born to ride, it's gon' stay dat way
It's da pain that help me stay awake
