I Pray

[Verse 1: Maino] I make music for lost niggas Young bitches with babies by drug dealers Heaven help us they letting them cops kill us Black talons we loading them cop killers Shorty told me he thugging that's what it is Around the wrong niggas, he got shot up he didn't live Try to teach him I try to lead him and give him hope Give these street niggas proper vision, a way to go I pray for my people hoping we make it I pray for tomorrow hoping I face it I pray that my homies finally free I pray that my son is better than me From a place where these politicians is crooks Lebron dreams but end up like Lenny Cook Cautionary tale for Latino and black males Headed for these dark early graves and packed jails What's the difference on that rail My homey couldn't read but made millions off crack sales Still trapping finding a way out The summers hot so I'm ready I brought the K out I pray that I finally get what I'm worth I pray that I kill my enemies first I pray for a lot of millions I'm holding I pray that these bitches picture me rolling She said she was trying to make it through college Two kids, no help, dancing for dollars Still lost these daughters searching for fathers Running wild my young shooters need guidance Still city, drug dealing on God's earth Can't hear on my mama screaming keep God first A dope fiend with wounds, he said his scars hurt Couldn't beat his addiction, said it's Allah's curse I pray for a healthy life and riches I pray that these haters find 'em some business I pray that they see me hop out the Wraith I pray that these agents don't come today I got to get something niggas to follow Ten bottles, these bitches followin' sparkles Live life on the edge, pray for tomorrow Getting out of the hood's winning the lotto For my niggas in the trap who as real as me Slipped up and got nabbed on conspiracy End up co-defendants on a chow line Guess we just promised death or some jail time I pray for my dead homies in heaven I pray that they angels send me a blessing I pray that I'm never dying with fear I pray that I kill these niggas this year
