Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I pray
[Verse 2]
Now we lay me
Down to sleep
I pray the Lord
My soul to keep
You see
[Verse 3]
They pray for my downfalls, but I'm up
They pray for my downfalls, but I'm up
They pray for my death, but I wake up
They pray for my death, but I wake up
[Verse 4]
I gotta get mine, I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine, I gotta get mine
I better get mine, you ain't gon' get yours
I'm from the ghetto, from the ghetto where it's hard
[Verse 5]
God, forgive us, I know we don't pray as much as we should
We call on bad times, don't stay in touch when we good
'Less it's your downfall, they don't pray for much in the hood
So when they ask for supper, I don't say as much as I could
[Verse 6]
Can't tell **** who never been up, you leveling up
That's like going to Hell and tell the Devil what's up
Can't even bless your food 'round here, **** hate that
You close your eyes and bow your head and get your plate snatched
[Verse 7]
So I keep it with me faithfully, you demons stay away from me
Love don't cost a thing and y'all still got hate for me
Sometimes the one's clapping for you ain't happy for you
Thought they was rooting for you, really shooting for you
[Verse 8]
Hoes ain't loyal, **** ain't either
People lie religiously, we just ain't believers
Pastor said, let us pray for our enemies
Fuck that, we let it spray for our enemies, blaow
[Verse 9]
Now we lay me
Down to sleep
I pray the Lord
My soul to keep
You see
[Verse 10]
They pray for my downfalls, but I'm up
They pray for my downfalls, but I'm up
They pray for my death, but I wake up
They pray for my death, but I wake up
[Verse 11]
I gotta get mine, I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine, I gotta get mine
I better get mine, you ain't gon' get yours
I'm from the ghetto, from the ghetto where it's hard
[Verse 12]
Amen
Lord, amen
Oh, amen
Amen
[Verse 13]
Lord, I know I call in the time of need
These **** come around in the time of greed
I got five children I'm trying to feed
They killing to follow, I'm dying to lead
[Verse 14]
You ain't wearing the vest, it's time to bleed
Thirty seconds or less, it's time to leave
You dealing with death, it's time to grieve
Cherish every breath, just trying to breathe
[Verse 15]
I don't do the rappers, I be around ball players
Too much fake jewelry and downfall prayers
Yeah, everything is irrelevant
You mistaking the elements with the elegance
[Verse 16]
Your emotions supersedes your intelligence
Then they might just kill you for the hell of it
Yup, one thing about the Devil
He gon' always pop up, pitchfork with a shovel, let's pray
[Verse 17]
Now we lay me
Down to sleep
I pray the Lord
My soul to keep
You see
[Verse 18]
They pray for my downfalls, but I'm up
They pray for my downfalls, but I'm up
They pray for my death, but I wake up
They pray for my death, but I wake up
[Verse 19]
I gotta get mine, I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine, I gotta get mine
I better get mine, you ain't gon' get yours
I'm from the ghetto, from the ghetto where it's hard
[Verse 20]
Amen
Lord, amen
Oh, amen
Amen
