Pray 歌詞
Mind state of a gangster from the 40's
Meets the business mind of motown's Berry Gordy
Turned crack rock into a chain of 40/40's
Sorry my jewerly is so gaudy slid into the party with my new pair of Mauri's
America meet the gangster Shawn Corey hey young world
Wanna hear a story
Close your eyes and you can pretend you're me
I'm cut from the cloth of the Kennedys Frank Sinatra havin' dinner with the Genovese'
The is the genesis of a nemisis
Mother America not witnessed since
The harlem renaissance birthed black businessman
This is the tale of lost innocence
And the incense burns and the turntables turn
And that Al Green plays
I see my mothers afro as mama taps her toes
As she rolls her j's
And my papa just left the house
In search of a killer of my uncle Ray and she's trying to calm her nerves
As i observe this is just one day
And what tomorrow has in store
We can never be sure so all we can do is pray
As i head to my home-room
I observe the ruins d**e needles on the ground
I hear a car go vroom
Drug dealer in the bm with the top down
As the girls start to giggle
I ask why you laugh
They say you're to little
One day you'll understand
When you become a man
'Bout things you have to get you
Fast forward freeze frame
On my pistol fistful of dollars
Ignorance is so blessful
I ain't choose this life
This life chose me
Around here it's the sh*t
That you just do
I just left school the same bm is pulled over
By the boys dressed in blue
They had their guns drawn
Screaming "just move"
Or is there something else you suggest we can do
He made his way to the drunk
Opened it like "huh" a treasure chest was removed
Cops said he'll be back next month
What we call curpt he call's payin' dues
Now when rules is blurred as they were
What am i to do but pray
Pray the lord forgives me
Pray he guides me for what i'm 'bout to go through pray
Anywhere there's oppression
The drug profession flourishes like beverages
Refreshing sweet taste of sin
Everything i seen made me everything i am
Bad drug dealer or victim i beg
What came first moving the chickens or the egg
This is why i be so fresh
I'm trying to beat life 'cause i can't cheat death
Treat shame like shamelessness aim
Stainless at anuses
You know the game this is
Move coke like pepsi don't matter what brand name it is
I stand behind mine everything i do i'm a man behind mine
I'm not an angel I'm sure
But every night before i lay I drop my knees to the floor
And I pray
