3AM In NY

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

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 **** weighs much more than all that clout

You cannot take my soul

All alone

Prayed alone, mmm

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

They wanna see me dead, I'm a martyr

But we win instead, mmm

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

You cannot take my soul

All alone, aye

Prayed alone, mmm

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
