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
