Lyrics
Intro / Spoken
“Hush lil baby, don’t you cry,
Moon gon ride, and the stars gon lie…”
Build
Hush lil baby
Hush lil baby
Verse 1
Twinkle, twinkle, midnight sky,
Shinin diamonds ridin high,
Bitches sing and shadows creep,
Mama prayin while the streets don’t sleep.
Pre-Chorus
Close your eyes, don’t make a sound,
The night gon keep what the dark done found.

Hook
Rock a bye, baby, in the caddy so black,
Chrome moon glow with the seats laid back.
Chorus
Hush lil baby, Cadillac Steel gonna roll,
Keep your dreams heavy, keep your secrets cold,
Sleep, lil soldier, don’t you fight,
Cadillac angels ridin through the night.
Verse 2
Night owl holla, dogs all bark,
Neon glow cuttin holes in the dark,
Wish on a star, but the star looks mean,
Got a pocket full of dirt and a broken dream.
Pre-Chorus
Close your eyes, don’t make a sound,
The night gon keep what the dark done found.

Bridge
River runs slow with a blood-red gleam,
Streetlight flickers like a crooked dream,
Wind hums low with a ghostly song,
Keep ridin’ through the night till the night is gone.
