sevin - pray 4 my hood (remix) feat. illuminate lyrics

do you believe?
do you believe that he can change things?
do you believe that he can use you to change things?
every journey that’s ever been taken
started with a step of faith
that’s right
c’mon

[verse 1: sevin]
for real
huh
tears pouring like a crystal stream
smoky on that avenue they warring through the pistol steam
straight shot toddler hit
leakin’ while he twitch and scream
momma missin’ she on a mission
she’s a crystal fiend
little angels trying to fly but we clippin’ wings
for them to make it out alive is a wishful dream
nah nah we gotta do better than this
it’s better you never exist
if you ain’t gon never -ssist
freedom
quit the talk and put some walk into it
every man find an -ssignment then we can all pursue it
disunity our communities need a makeover
blood washed us white we threw it into bake soda
am i gon’ spray soldier?
nah i’m gon’ pray for you
our biggest advancement was a non-violent takeover
his race over who gon’ fill in his shoes
we are only gonna gain what we are willing to lose
proof

[martin luther king jr.]
whatever goes up can come down
you shall reap what you sow
god has structured this universe that way
and he who goes through life not concerned about others
will be a subject victim of this law

[chorus: sevin]
yuh
yuh it’s so much deeper than the feature of some skin tissue
some say it’s racially based but it’s a sin issue
black, white, red or blue be a better you
and it don’t matter how it started
it could end with you
pray for my hood, pray for my hood
pray for my hood please pray for my hood
pray for my hood, pray for my hood
pray for my hood somebody pray for my hood

[sample]
why don’t i get you
i listen to soul babe
listen to blues
why am i confused
i listen to soul babe
listen to blues

[verse 2: illuminate]
c’mon
uh
i can’t lie my heart breaks over ferguson
but see it’s more than the police that be murderin’
and instead we fixated on the skin issue
cuz it goes much deeper, it’s a sin issue
and the antidote yeah it’s been issued
if you apply the blood of christ coulda been fixed you
but instead want to do it on ya own still
don’t trust in the lord
don’t rely on ya own will
and you a savage sprayin’ k for the hood
but homie tell me will you pray for the hood
pray for the hood
or sit back and puff on grapes like it’s good
while little girls are getting raped in the hood
so many snakes in the hood
but homie god is great to the hood
so we gon’ take this perfect love, peace and grace to the hood
yeah
and we won’t never forget from where we came
cuz there’s still goliath’s out there that need to be slain
pray for my hood

[martin luther king jr.]
now the breadth of life is the outward concern
for the welfare of others, as i said
and a man has not begun to live until he can rise
above the narrow confines of his own individual concerns
to the broader concerns of all humanity

[sample]
why don’t i get you
i listen to soul babe
listen to blues
why am i confused
i listen to soul babe
listen to blues
