Children of the night, don’t give up the fight
The world did you wrong, so I’mma do you right
Children of the night, don’t give up the fight
The world did you wrong, so I’mma do you right
No, Mommy, don’t make me pull that belt
At 5 I watched my momma almost kill herself
She made me pull until she found a vain
“Oh no, Mommy,” her baby cried her name
She turned down the flame
Shot herself in the neck
Collapsed, then fell on me
Oh god, it’s hell I see
Mommy, Mommy, please wake up, don’t die
That’s when I started to cry
‘Cause lord knows, I saw myself through my mother’s eyes
I saw myself through my mother’s eyes
Her body started shaking
A tear rolled off her cheek
She took the needle out her neck
that’s when I started to speak
Children of the night, don’t give up the fight
The world did you wrong, so I’mma do you right
Children of the night, don’t give up the fight
The world did you wrong, so I’mma do you right
They say I died in these streets
But I was just resurrected
Waiting on life
I got the blood of christ
If god is our father
That means we’re brothers
But how could that be?
We ain’t got the same mother
See your mother was a virgin
My mother she wasn’t
Every night the devil made her
sleep with her cousin
Every night she tried
To tell the devil to leave
But he would suffocate her
Tell her never to breathe
And now I’m in the world
With the gene of a serpent
He can feel me when hurtin’
I can see when he’s lurking
Then one day
an angel told me satan my dad
Then they felt fire
when the devil get mad
Children of the night, don’t give up the fight
The world did you wrong, so I’mma do you right
Children of the night, don’t give up the fight
The world did you wrong, so I’mma do you right
