"Check", "Check"
If I do not make it back
To the comfort of my house tonight
Understand that was Gods will
And I've only lived this long because
I've got angels lookin' over me
Protectin' me from people who wish death on me
I've got tensions, they constantly stressin' me
People who'd love to see me restin' in peace
But they don't matter (No)
I've got angels lookin' over me
Protectin' me from people who wish death on me
I've got tensions, they constantly stressin' me
People who'd love to see me restin' in peace
But they don't matter (No)
I've felt 'em around me since I was a kid
I often wonder exactly who it is
Is it Ernie, is it Ian, is it BoeBoe, is it Nate
Is it, Kevin, is it Chapman, Is it Rog, is it Jay?
Is it pa, is it pops, is it pappy, is it mammy
Is it someone from my crew, or someone from my family?
All I know is I wouldn't have made it this far
Without them shining stars, and I know who they are
What they represent: my people that passed on
Five years, it don't even seem that long
We made it, baby
I wish you was here standin' on stage with me
Gettin' this money with me, and blowin' this haze with me
But it can't be, so I accept that, move forward
To tomorrow, long live the desperado
The big homie, the one that held it down
Even though you underground, I can feel you above me
You're like
I've got angels lookin' over me
Protectin' me from people who wish death on me
I've got tensions, they constantly stressin' me
People who'd love to see me restin' in peace
But they don't matter (No)
I've got angels lookin' over me
Protectin' me from people who wish death on me
I've got tensions, they constantly stressin' me
People who'd love to see me restin' in peace
But they don't matter (No)
Understand I've been blessed with the serenity
To accept what I can't change 'bout my enemies
But the devil tries to corrupt me
I ain't no psycho, but don't push me
Was we, trapped in a world we thought we'd wake up from?
It seems like a dream, but it seems so real
Was it those pills, was it those drinks
Was it that weed, was it just me?
Is this reality? It's what we goin' through
What you call overnight, we call overdue
Easy way up boy, if you only knew
I came up fucked up, from the same place as you
Where bullets fly and people die
Ambulances leave without 'em, Coroners pick 'em up
You can buy the paper and read about 'em
Flip to the sports page, and never even think about 'em
Other people find it hard to live without 'em, uh
I've got angels lookin' over me
Protectin' me from people who wish death on me
I've got tensions, they constantly stressin' me
People who'd love to see me restin' in peace
But they don't matter (No)
I've got angels lookin' over me

I'm the desperate souls of a thousand old MC's
Who never had an album go gold or platinum
They just rap for them people who looked after them
A hundred thousand fans
Who know the song like the back of their hands
The ones that put Stak in demand
Know that I'll never forget y'all
Wouldn't be shit without y'all
Now y'all say you the one that held me down
When I broke like a motherfucker underground
Demo tapes, payin' dues, baby food, baby shoes
Only way I made it through was way by the grace of God
God bless my family and God bless my squad
We can't take no more loses (No)
Lose no more bosses (No)
What's this I hear about some fallin' off shit
You think I'm really gonna retire?
I'm gonna let you wonder
But until then, just keep wishin' for incarceration or murder
But I've got a presence around me, that's why I don't wear a vest
Not to mention that henchmen do not aim at your chest
Death is inevitable, something you can't run from
I'll come back and look over some ye', some, what
I've got angels lookin' over me
Protectin' me from people who wish death on me
I've got tensions, they constantly stressin' me
People who'd love to see me restin' in peace
But they don't matter (No)
