Lyrics

[Intro] I shot the sheriff 'Cause when it all falls down, oh-oh I only got myself, um I nearly lost myself All the loss I felt, I felt [Verse 1] I pray to God I never let these inner demons get me tied out I won't ever put myself in places I can't climb out How you wanna hold me close, but still be holdin' doubt? Bein' a real nigga weighs much more than all that clout [Chorus] You cannot take my soul All alone Prayed alone, mm Still aligned, I built this on my own I sense the jealousy Can't stop my destiny I pray my soul's at peace Lost in these melodies, ah [Verse 2] They wanna see me dead, I'm a martyr But we win instead, mm If we check the score when it's said and done Then I'm still ahead, ah-oh They didn't believe in a miracle, look what God did Tried to make me fold, but some things just don't bend [Chorus] You cannot take my soul All alone, ayy Prayed alone, mm Still aligned, I built this on my own I sense the jealousy Can't stop my destiny I pray my soul's at peace Lost in these melodies, ah
