LYRICS:

look
it's been a year and a half.. since I screamed A TO THE G
this will come out a bit rusty
'n the only reason I've stopped rappin' is.. cause I was workin' on my boxin' dream
now that I need to stop boxin' for a while.. I'm back to rap baby
this comes out from the Christian prayers
one love to all my Muslim 'n my Christian brothers.. one Lord..

AAAAA TO THE GGGGG

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP (yeah.. lay me down to sleep on the road of dreams)
I PRAY FOR THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP (dear Lord, I pray for you)
IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE (dear Lord, if I die before I wake)
THEN I PRAY FOR THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE (please Lord, come take my soul)

yaw
lay me down to sleep
it's only gonna take a while
when I wake I will take
I will run every mile
I won't stop for a hump
gonna show everyone
I will sprint on my feet
till my legs are numb
I've been put in a position
where I can't make a decision
the precision of my vision
got me loyal to my mission
ever since I was born
my dad has been wishin'
for a son like him
'n he's been payin' my tuition
so I swear I will put my heart
in my books
put on my nerd face
and change my bad looks
I will grant his wishes
then I'll go for my dream
for a while
I will turn my fire into steam
I will go to sleep
but then I will return
when I open my eyes
my fire will start to burn
I will close my eyes today
but for the moment
there's somethin' I must say
before I lay dormant

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP (yeah.. lay me down to sleep, gonna wake up soon)
I PRAY FOR THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP (dear Lord, please keep my soul)
IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE (if I die before I wake, I pray for the Lord)
THEN I PRAY FOR THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE (dear lord, I pray for you)

see this life is a lesson
we can never fully learn
no pain no gain
you must give to earn
for a while I swear
I was flowin' like a stream
I cannot believe
I thought I'd reach my dream
in the time I planned
this life is so mean
tried livin' in the West
came back still clean
my dues are not paid
but I never ever played
I wish I had stayed
but I'm back 'n I'm laid
in Kuwait
'n my dream plans have been delayed
now I'm back to spit lyrics
'n my bars are weighed
appreciate the fact
I can write my own fate
'n I love my fans
but they're gonna have to wait
dear Lord I will pray for you
night 'n day
I believe that you will guide me
'n point me to the way
cause I'm the champion of the world
I'm gonna make it one day
but for the moment I'm stuck
with dues I must pay, hey

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP (lay me down to sleep, by A TO THE G)
I PRAY FOR THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP (dear Lord, keep your eyes on me when I sleep)
IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE (if I die before I wake, dear Lord)
THEN I PRAY FOR THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE (dear lord, please keep my soul)

never listen to motherfuckers
who can never understand
'n when you fall down on the ground
don't expect a helpin' hand
cause when you're walkin' on the street of dreams
you'll always be alone
you gotta reach for the top
'n have the power to intend
because this life is like a film
but you're the one who writes the end
so pretend you're like a prophet
'n it's time to send
the biggest message to the world
drop your words from up
and don't you never ever stop
untill you pop over the top
and every time I see a gap
on the street of dreams
it's a trap for me
but I rap you see
every time I fall
I build a rope of lyrics
to pull me right out
put me back on my route
when you talk it don't work
so learn to shout
let the waves in your voice
show the world what you're about
mamma I'ma put my whole life's drama
into gramma'
fly back to the past
'n make my own karma

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP (lay me down to sleep, sweet dreams for me)
I PRAY FOR THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP (dear Lord, please keep my soul)
IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE (who knows if I'll die before I wake)
THEN I PRAY FOR THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE (if so.. dear Lord, please keep my soul)

AAAAA TO THE GGGGG

sometimes.. you have to step on the holes.. to keep the boat floatin'
'n when the goin' gets tough.. only the tough keep goin'
it's not whether you can do it or not.. it's whether you're willin' to
it's all about will baby
this isn't just a rap song you know
this is real.. 100% from the heart
I'm out.. till next time
haah

  • Love to you, Shine On, beautiful brother!!!!!! Love your rap too.

  • I like the message that your trying to convey... God is always the "BOMB"! But the music is not that good... When you rap, you should have music that sounds more like whats on the radio if you ever want to get your music to get out there...

  • Very inspirational bro

  • AG!!!

    AtotheG!

    The DREAMER...

    still the WINNER!!!

  • Good job! But I think the voice effects at the chorus could've been softer...

  • Very Well Done! Thumbs Up!

  • Hi A to G!! I came to view again The message that comes through from you on " Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep " is heartfelt and I'd like to share it on my channel ,even though I am a Jazz person it does not matter! I liked it! And also "Relax" because I can relate to it as well as everyone out there! The words were hard to figure out, haha...(need a lesson on "rap!") but for the most part, I did like what that message was about too! Great that you know I'm taking them w/me!! HUGS, Patricia

  • I So Enjoyed Your Words Through Your Lips! Your Heart is So Loving. Thank You for Sharing You. Sending you Much Much Love and Lots of Hugs!

  • Thanks for the video. I like much, again thanks.

  • Very deep text, and you say it with the right intonation, no compromise, it is direct, proud, humble, no tricks, no fake, that's why you touch deeply the people. Respect.
