gencade - lil prayer (pray for me) lyrics

this song is dedicated, to everybody in the struggle. everybody who shares that pain, and them dreams of one day seeing better days; me personally, i’m about to embark on this journey that is my destiny, and i just need you to do one thing for me

if you love me let the lord know

[verse 1]
keep me in your prayers
tell him to bless me as i walk in the devil’s lair
been h-ll on earth since eve bit the forbidden fruit
and i’ve been nice since big said give me the loot
i’m a rap cliche another ghetto b-st-rd, mama was a crackhead
i walk around half dead
don’t want no pity cuz i’m still after the glory
if you rep my city we might share similar stories
i’m a slumdog representative
hard knock life stay woke no sedative
street disciple, a well-informed rebel
with these lines i shine like a iced out bezel
on my grind trying to hit the next tax level
trying to show you that i’m the one like kettle
so give me more b-ss and less treble
and pray for me as i play the game with these devil’s

[verse 2]
i do this for the ghetto b-st-rds with daddy’s in the caskets
single mothers with jobs taking night cl-sses
we ain’t meant to survive cuz it’s a setup
so keep that in your mind when the lord lets you get up
go out and get something, never let them trap you
from the slums we gonna make it in the castle
it’s not a need or a want it’s a have to
go do it like capital one no-h-ssle
do your own research, never let em get you
cause they ain’t gonna tell you that you special
they want us in the prisons and project buildings
they ain’t gonna tell us that we all god’s children
they say we the minority, clearly we the majority
compared to the one percent everyone lives in poverty
with that said i grind till its all ova
cause the lord gave the hardest path to his strongest soldiers

[chorus]
before i lay me down to sleep i get down and i pray
must be more in store for me, must see some better days
use the hand that i was delt, that’s how i play the game
so if you love me tell the lord and pray for me by name

[verse 3]
day by day it’s more impossible to cope
living in the ghetto need a little more hope
put the spliff to my lips i inhale the smoke
wit this package off to the post office i go
my momma locked up she need a new coat
upstate new york there’s a whole lot of snow
my uncle needs train fare to see his p.o
this rap money needs to come quick i’m going broke
and talking about broke my granddaddy broke his hip the other day
when he slipped and took a spill on the floor
grad momma too she get her check on the 1st and by the 3rd
she’s already knocking on my door
i really can’t complain when i was young they all spoiled me
so now they low i gotta act accordingly
they thought i would be the one to go away to college
but where i come from that just ain’t a promise
