Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Heavenly father, creator of all things
I humble myself, as I bow to Your throne
I pray for love, joy, peace, and happiness
I pray for love, I pray for love
I pray for love, joy, peace, and happiness
I pray for love, I pray for love
I pray for love, joy, peace, and happiness
[Verse 2]
They say the closest ones to ya
Be the ones that sneak up behind ya
And stick the knife through ya
That's why now I keep my friends to a minimum
Check for the ones with the venom on they tongue
'Cause **** is snakes, they hugs be fake
Steal from they best friend at his own wake
I did all I can do and I took all I can take
This is it, crossing me was ya biggest mistake
And was it enough that I split 20 percent of what I make?
Was it enough that I cut **** half of what I bake?
Ain't enough that I almost lost all my bread
Bailing **** out, keeping a roof over out head
Enough is enough, I wash my hands, I'm done with it
I ain't playing with you motherfuckers, come with it
Keep the fam together, God knows I tried
But shit ain't been the same since B.I. died
[Verse 3]
I pray for love, every day
I pray for love, every night
I pray for love, joy, keep the fam together
God knows I tried
I pray for love, every day
I pray for love, every night
I pray for love, joy
Shit ain't been the same since B.I. died
[Verse 4]
Lil' Kim the first rap bitch to shake up the charts
Act like I ain't the leader of this Million Bitch March
Who got y'all rocking the Prada?
The Gucci, Dior, Chanel, Versace, and Louis
Please, I'm the reason this rap game is unisex
I'm the reason bitches want bigger breasts
Show some respect, where respect is due
Without who? Without me, there'd be no you
These next few lines is to you women abusers
Last **** I was with, straight fucking loser
**** think 'cause you give 'em ya heart
Then can, dissect it and rip it apart
Mm-mm, not I, one ****'s in my eye
Payback's a motherfucker, put that on the stye
You lose a good bitch, ****, you can't front
Lil' Kim is everything a man could ever want
And that's real
[Verse 5]
I pray for love, every day
I pray for love, every night
I pray for love, joy, peace, and happiness
Mm-mm, not I, one ****'s in my eye
I pray for love, every day
I pray for love, every night
I pray for love, joy, peace, and happiness
Payback's a motherfucker, put that on the Stuy
[Verse 6]
When the money is gone, so is ya friends
When the gas runs out, there goes ya Benz
They just don't make my breed no more
Nobody lives by the code of the street no more
I don't deal with the nonsense, I'm keeping it real
Wanna do business with me? Get in touch with Hill
[Verse 7]
That's right, any questions? No, you can't ask me
Put ya name and ya number on a letterhead and fax me
You want Kim? Name the location
75 grand and that's just for conversation
[Verse 8]
I'ma remain loyal while y'all crumble like the foil
It's tradition to rock diamonds in my crown, I'm royal
**** ain't believe in me, they thought it was over
Baby girl rising up like the early morning sun
Y'all think y'all know but y'all have no idea
What the fuck I been going through these last seven years
[Verse 9]
I pray for love, every day
I pray for love, every night
I pray for love, joy, peace, and happiness
They just don't make my breed no more
Word, that's it
I pray for love, every day
I'm the last of the Mohicans
Every night after me, there will be none
Nobody lives by the code of the street no more
[Verse 10]
I'm saying, I just wanna be happy, that's all, I don't ask for much
It makes me happy to see my people smile you know what I'm saying
I ain't a hater, I don't even like saying the word
Nobody lives by the code of the street no more
I'd sacrifice everything I got right now to have my man Biggie here with me
You see, that's just how I am, cause I'm a rider
Keep the fam together, God knows I tried
What good is it to have everything if you can't share it with the ones you love?
If you can't be with the ones you love
The love the ones you with
Don't take nobody for granted
You ain't promised tomorrow
Karma's a motherfucker
I'm appreciative, La Bella Mafia, 2003, Sugar Shaft, the Beehive
We coming
