Pray

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for watching over us today. I pray for the sick and [?] and for those who have lost loved ones. Lord, I pray for the homeless. Lord, I pray for our soldiers and their families. I pray for everyone here today...
 God taketh away, and God giveth
 The clock's tickin' away as the plot thickens today
 Cause I'm sippin' hard liquor
 We couldn't suffer the same amount of losses
 Cause my supply's bigger
 Don't associate me with nothin' but that dopest child star shit
 That Lindsey Lo', that Todd Bridges
 Hit your block with a tickin' bomb that'll
 Leave the competition in hospital
 I'm the product of foolish pride
 I'm a speeding bullet who responds to the pull of God's trigger
 Jumpin' out the barrel, like "Excuse me, Nas. Move aside, Jigga"
 I'm hard as proving ground bricks
 Groundbreaking each time I spit words and they hit the street
 You don't like the game, you can google my dick, bitch
 And that goes to everybody
 I pray for foes, I pray for hoes
 I pray for everybody
 But you can pray for them
 If you gon' pray for somebody, pray for them
 Don't pray for me, pray for Paris
 Pray for Nigeria, pray for peace
 Pray for your marriage
 Pray your horse don't sway far away from your carriage
 Why you put all your eggs in one basket?
 Blowin' dumb cash on Wraiths and karats
 Your daughter ain't an heiress, I hope she's taken care of
 More importantly, I hope this gun in your face don't end up in your mouth
 I'll make you taste the terror of the kickback of this gat that could break the barrel
 More court cases, hate betrayal
 If I approach thee, boy, please take me serious
 Cause if I say that I shall, I shall proceed
 I don't cry wolf cause I don't enjoy wasting tears any more than I enjoy wasting shells
 I looked at the state of my health and asked the reverend 'bout it
 I didn't just pray for myself, I prayed for everybody
 But you can pray for them
 They need you more than me, pray for them
 Pray for everybody
 Look around, look around, look around, look around
 Pray for everybody, tell me exactly what you're seeing
 I'm seeing children being murdered by police and then acquitted on all charges
 It's like they're all targets, pray for them
 Pray for everybody
 Live from the gutter, my father's a [?]
 The block is my mother, 2Pac got it on lock in my suburb
 I got dope double-wrapped up in bubble wrap on top of my cupboard
 Old ladies watching from shutters
 Tellin' all the children keep watching out for us
 Bad influences, we the gumbo that you see inside the pot
 Swimming 'round in all the saddest, truer shit
 Attic in the coolest whip
 Riding 'round my city lookin' for the baddest newest bitch
 Hammer in my stash, feeling too legit
 90 on the dash, slammin' on the gas
 Passenger mad, saying that the break pedal do exist
 I'm saying "I'm late man, I got school to skip"
 Introduce me to your chick, I turn this shit to a Skip to My Lou assist
 I don't talk too much shit, I discuss shit by throwing hands
 I'm a sucker for hoes in yoga pants
 Tell my queen I'm in this shit, like kissing and holding hands
 I keep my flings on the other end of a string with swollen glass
 I'm a player, I've been to every hotel and every lobby
 Every time I pray, I send up a prayer for everybody
 Don't pray for me, nigga
 Pray for them
 You gon' pray for somebody?
 Pray for them
 Don't pray for me, pray for respect
 Pray to get something different from rich and away from your debt
 Nigga, I'm straight to cassette
 Y'all digital, y'all about as physical as finger under some balls, coughin' while taking a test
 Too many artists get mistaken with best
 Cause they on the charts, you sleepin' on me, I'll come and wake you to death
 While I pray against all the violence and shootin'
 ISIS got Obama sittin' down with Vladimir Putin
 A saw a child online ask his father "Why did they do this?"
 His father then replied to him, "We gotta fight 'em with flowers growing out the ground"
 I look at violence the same way I look at slavery
 It's never ending in light of abolishment
 These are my finest hours, then
 I pray for everybody
 Look around, look around, look around, look around
 Pray for everybody, tell me exactly what you're seeing
 I'm seeing children being murdered by police and then acquitted on all charges
 It's like they're all targets, pray for them
 (Let us pray)
 Lord, please keep Your arms around us, and protect us from danger. In Your son Jesus' name, amen. (Amen!)
