Prayer For You

My darling, believe me

For me, there is no one

My darling, believe me

For me, there is no one

I be praying every time you walk out the door

To keep you safe in these streets away from the smoke

I know you think you got it, but God knows

What lies up ahead, we don't have control

You don't know how I scared I be when you don't answer the phone

I be in my own mind

Saying, "God, bring him home"

I can't change you, and my heart won't let you go

Every time you go

I say a prayer for you

That whatever you're facing

God would bring you through

I say a prayer for you

'Cause these streets don't love you like I do

Every time you leave, I say a prayer for you

Like a momma or grandmother, I'm down on my knees

Hands up in the air like, "He won't listen to me"

I know something greater that can protect you from enemies

You ain't gotta have 'em tucked

You can let the whole world see

You don't know how I scared I be when you don't answer the phone

I be in my own mind

Saying, "God, bring him home"

I can't change you, and my heart won't let you go

Every time you go

I say a prayer for you

That whatever you're facing

God would bring you through

I say a prayer for you

'Cause these streets don't love you like I do

Every time you leave, I say a prayer for you

Everybody needs love

Some need extra

We gon' lift 'em up

And let God catch 'em

Everybody needs love

Some need extra

I'm the type that's gonna pray for you and your protection

I say a prayer for you

That whatever you're facing

God would bring you through, you through

I say a prayer for you

'Cause these streets don't love you like I do

They don't love you like I do

Every time you leave, I say a prayer for you

They don't love you like I do

That whatever you're facing

God would bring you through

Bring you through, no

I say a prayer for you

'Cause these streets don't love you like I do

Every time you leave, I say a prayer for you
