[00:01.17]"Check", "Check"
[00:03.82]If I do not make it back
[00:04.99]To the comfort of my house tonight
[00:07.63]Understand that was Gods will
[00:10.02]And I've only lived this long because
[00:12.87]I've got angels lookin' over me
[00:15.80]Protectin' me from people who wish death on me
[00:19.40]I've got tensions, they constantly stressin' me
[00:23.11]People who'd love to see me restin' in peace
[00:25.82]But they don't matter (No)
[00:27.13]I've got angels lookin' over me
[00:29.40]Protectin' me from people who wish death on me
[00:33.59]I've got tensions, they constantly stressin' me
[00:37.06]People who'd love to see me restin' in peace
[00:39.67]But they don't matter (No)
[00:41.44]I've felt 'em around me since I was a kid
[00:44.11]I often wonder exactly who it is
[00:47.67]Is it Ernie, is it Ian, is it BoeBoe, is it Nate
[00:51.31]Is it, Kevin, is it Chapman, Is it Rog, is it Jay?
[00:54.92]Is it pa, is it pops, is it pappy, is it mammy
[00:58.24]Is it someone from my crew, or someone from my family?
[01:02.24]All I know is I wouldn't have made it this far
[01:04.92]Without them shining stars, and I know who they are
[01:08.65]What they represent: my people that passed on
[01:11.58]Five years, it don't even seem that long
[01:14.63]We made it, baby
[01:16.07]I wish you was here standin' on stage with me
[01:19.06]Gettin' this money with me, and blowin' this haze with me
[01:22.89]But it can't be, so I accept that, move forward
[01:26.52]To tomorrow, long live the desperado
[01:30.06]The big homie, the one that held it down
[01:32.87]Even though you underground, I can feel you above me
[01:35.95]You're like
[01:37.06]I've got angels lookin' over me
[01:38.80]Protectin' me from people who wish death on me
[01:43.27]I've got tensions, they constantly stressin' me
[01:46.44]People who'd love to see me restin' in peace
[01:48.91]But they don't matter (No)
[01:50.77]I've got angels lookin' over me
[01:52.55]Protectin' me from people who wish death on me
[01:56.22]I've got tensions, they constantly stressin' me
[02:00.11]People who'd love to see me restin' in peace
[02:02.05]But they don't matter (No)
[02:04.31]Understand I've been blessed with the serenity
[02:07.67]To accept what I can't change 'bout my enemies
[02:11.11]But the devil tries to corrupt me
[02:14.16]I ain't no psycho, but don't push me
[02:17.48]Was we, trapped in a world we thought we'd wake up from?
[02:21.00]It seems like a dream, but it seems so real
[02:24.67]Was it those pills, was it those drinks
[02:27.80]Was it that weed, was it just me?
[02:30.94]Is this reality? It's what we goin' through
[02:34.41]What you call overnight, we call overdue
[02:38.21]Easy way up boy, if you only knew
[02:41.68]I came up fucked up, from the same place as you
[02:45.00]Where bullets fly and people die
[02:47.25]Ambulances leave without 'em, Coroners pick 'em up
[02:50.65]You can buy the paper and read about 'em
[02:52.55]Flip to the sports page, and never even think about 'em
[02:56.15]Other people find it hard to live without 'em, uh
[02:59.19]I've got angels lookin' over me
[03:01.32]Protectin' me from people who wish death on me
[03:05.43]I've got tensions, they constantly stressin' me
[03:09.83]People who'd love to see me restin' in peace
[03:11.98]But they don't matter (No)
[03:13.53]I've got angels lookin' over me
[03:15.31]Protectin' me from people who wish death on me
[03:19.42]I've got tensions, they constantly stressin' me
[03:23.14]People who'd love to see me restin' in peace
[03:25.28]But they don't matter (No)
[03:26.58]I'm the desperate souls of a thousand old MC's
[03:28.95]Who never had an album go gold or platinum
[03:31.49]They just rap for them people who looked after them
[03:34.03]A hundred thousand fans
[03:35.08]Who know the song like the back of their hands
[03:35.66]The ones that put Stak in demand
[03:37.96]Know that I'll never forget y'all
[03:39.14]Wouldn't be shit without y'all
[03:40.65]Now y'all say you the one that held me down
[03:42.44]When I broke like a motherfucker underground
[03:44.41]Demo tapes, payin' dues, baby food, baby shoes
[03:47.76]Only way I made it through was way by the grace of God
[03:51.27]God bless my family and God bless my squad
[03:54.22]We can't take no more loses (No)
[03:56.59]Lose no more bosses (No)
[03:58.56]What's this I hear about some fallin' off shit
[04:01.11]You think I'm really gonna retire?
[04:03.23]I'm gonna let you wonder
[04:04.62]But until then, just keep wishin' for incarceration or murder
[04:07.87]But I've got a presence around me, that's why I don't wear a vest
[04:11.40]Not to mention that henchmen do not aim at your chest
[04:15.39]Death is inevitable, something you can't run from
[04:18.99]I'll come back and look over some ye', some, what
[04:21.92]I've got angels lookin' over me
[04:24.24]Protectin' me from people who wish death on me
[04:28.49]I've got tensions, they constantly stressin' me
[04:31.96]People who'd love to see me restin' in peace
[04:34.55]But they don't matter (No)
[04:35.91]I've got angels lookin' over me
[04:38.29]Protectin' me from people who wish death on me
[04:42.03]I've got tensions, they constantly stressin' me
[04:45.99]People who'd love to see me restin' in peace
[04:48.25]But they don't matter (No)
