Rock a bye baby

Verse 1

I get tired of this life, but still I’m livin’ it

With all this pain deep inside, keeps on diggin’ in

I keep tryin’ to make a change, and be different

But somethin’ keeps callin’ me back, and even deeper in

And I could give a damn, if it wasn’t for my baby girl

Otherwise, my heart’d done turned to ice, in this cold world

Yeah, the fact is, that I’d straight up had enough

Tried to put enough through them needles in my veins, to blow my heart up

Let me tell ya what I coulda looked into my eyes, and seen them Klansmen

‘Cause me and the devil had a talk, yeah I got to meet his Klansmen

But at that point in time, my life had meant nothin’

My mortal coil was up in the air, with a wish to cease to function

But right before I signed on that dotted line

I seen your precious face in my mind

As I was battlin’ my mind, it came in the knick of time

‘Cause that rig was loaded & pulled back

Just to extract, and that’s a fact

Hook

Rock-A-Bye baby, I’m on a tree top

When the wind blew, my heart almost stopped

My Rock-A-Bye saved me, untied the knot

Now when the wind blows, I know you’re all I got

And you’re all that I need

Verse 2

There’s things in this life, I’m still tryin’ to understand

Like tryin’ to find myself, and how to be a good man

How to do what I gotta do, to protect this life in my hands

How to find solid ground, in the midst of these shifting sands

Yo my heart skipped a beat, but this record kept on playin’

So now I’m gettin’ back up on my feet, & now the sky is where I’m aimin’

No more changin’ what I seek

Through the storm, the weather, & the snow, the sleet

I’ll compete against the odds, slangin’ ink upon these sheets

Different colored inks, bleed out my pen ‘til I’m NSYNC

This ain’t no boy band, I don’t claim that I can sing

I’m just bleedin’ out my soul, through my pen ‘til it’s completed

And maybe along the way, someone can relate & the pain ease

So stop & enjoy the breeze, we got one life to live

So take advantage of every moment

‘Cause life’s a whisper in the wind

It’s here, gone & I don’t even know

Whoa, there it went

Hook

Rock-A-Bye baby, I’m on a tree top

When the wind blew, my heart almost stopped

My Rock-A-Bye saved me, untied the knot

Now when the wind blows, I know you’re all I got

And you’re all that I need
