Lyrics

[Intro]
Lord, prepare me
Lord, prepare me
Lord, prepare me
Lord, prepare me
[Verse 1]
I got a testimony, I done been tested, homie
Stood at that stove whippin' the work, counted the money
Money's the root to all evil, so tell me why you need it, Jesus
I'm sellin' dope out of Regals and every week payin' tithes to a preacher
I once had three women, lived multiple lives
They gave me four children, so now they get treated like multiple wives
We ain't fuckin' no more, still treat 'em with honor
Important they know that they was much more than just my baby mamas
My mama, she told me, plainly and coldly
You done made babies, fuck all the rappin', you gotta sell O-Zs
And, yeah, I did it, I gotta admit it
I slung the hard, but had to be God how I got away with it
I could be dead, I should be scared
I got away clean, but coulda got caught with that dirt by the feds
Never woulda made it traffickin' hard
Shoulda been dead or in jail, but look at me standin' here praisin' the Lord
[Chorus]
You're my strength, gimme my faith, Lord, I need you
Lord, prepare me
Turn up the headphones for me, aye
[Verse 2]
Lord, prepare me, you know these hoes scare me
I'm eatin' thousand-dollar shit, wagyu steak, ****, rare meat
I said Lord, prepare me, I let these hoes share me
A body costs a thousand dollars in my hood, I'm a boss, ****, dare me
Lord, drive for me, do a little time for me
I had a worker duct tape bricks and put 'em inside for me
Lord, hide for me, Lord, provide for me
I had a couple of pieces, they put in some work and they tried for me
Lord, kill for me, Lord, be real with me
I had to scam in a couple of stores, man, Lord, steal for me
Lord, heal for me, Lord, feel for me
I had to sell me a couple of blocks, man, Lord, deal for me
Lord, you think they was fuckin' with me when it come down to sellin' these drugs?
You think these lil' **** is talkin' like me, mane, you hear what I'm tellin' these plugs?
You think— my bad, you know I'm just scared of your love
Mad ever since I been a little boy, I been scared of your hugs
[Chorus]
You're my strength, gimme my faith, Lord, I need you
Lord, prepare me
[Verse 3]
Lord, I done been through thangs, I feel like I lived like two or three lives
Please forgive me for my wrongs, I just wanna do it right
Lord, I been smokin' weed again, really gotta take it easy, man
I been hangin' in the 'jects like I ain't just signed a deal, got a check
Lord, I know that you know me, Lord, you the one and only
They really be thinkin' they you when you the most high and holy
Real
I'm the Moses for all my people, few know what that mean
I'm isolated, but I'm never lonely, I know you won't fail me
[Outro]
No matter where I go, I know that you are with me now
You never fail me
And, Lord, you gon' be here tomorrow
You always prepare me
Your love is here forever more
And there's so much you got in store
You never fail me
I know that you are with me now
And, Lord, you're gon' be here tomorrow
You always prepare me
Your love is her forever more
And there's so much you got in store
