P.R.A.Y.

(Must we all suffer from what one man has done) Yeah What I see from my level, the devil's in a serious phase For a smart fight, God might have to stop workin' in mysterious ways The ghetto's unfairness prepared us to live in a cage Still tryin' to find that silver lining from when niggas was slaves It wasn't good where I stood at the precipice, looking for a exodus Was trying, but tried to keep it alive during the death of this Defined by most strenuous times, now told effortless If urge for more proverbs, check my old testaments I like to write righteous, even though it's secular Birthed from the dirt like Adam, the pattern's in my molecular She's in line to be mine? Make sure she woke before I slept with her It's not respected wise to heckle Gods who got the Heckler A past passion is what I pursued in my solitude Was never gas, you can ask, I'm a solid dude I learned to quiet my mind, I'm nice, we was out of food A few times almost expired, should've been tired what I renew The place I fell from, I embrace and welcome Played bad cards bad? Can't be mad at whoever dealt 'em If he ain't from the maelstrom, I never felt him Friends that died, I feel would've survived if I was there to help 'em As we bow our heads, may we please receive any yield Please receive any yield, for real May we please receive any yield With my last I ask me and my man's sacred matter At the end, ascend Jacob's Ladder As youngin', had to be hunters, was the only way to gather He's built prime on that filth time, now I'm tryna make it lather Get banged tryna hang before you learn ropes My brave folks stay cold, they was never turncoats In the hood, handsome don't matter, girls want who earn most Seen killers let off steam, then return to scenes as concerned folks Price your brew, and whatever you decide to do At the height of that ready rock, every block was volatile Here to blast, any day could be your last, that was probable They shot the guns, lots of sons never returned as prodigal For what I know, now my cup, it runneth over This drive that kept me alive is my cunning motive End of month, cops tend to front when they under quota Where it's hard to walk that straight line drunk or sober As we bow our heads, may we please receive any yield (please) Please receive any yield, for real May we please receive any yield (as we bow our heads) (Please receive any yield) As we bow our heads, may we please receive any yield Please receive any yield, for real May we please receive any yield
