ty herndon - pray for me lyrics

(feat. todd nitty)

[todd nitty]
here’s the tale of a young black male
raised in these city streets
out here hustling to make ends meet
in a world thats so corrupt
thats ran by greed
money and the power
for me i’m a survivor
i do what i have to and only god can judge me for that
so before you cash your stones down on me
i want you to take a look at yourself in the mirror
and ask somebody to pray for you
cause that’s all i’m asking is to pray for me, understand

i was born around gangstas, hustlers, and killers
drug dealers with math figures making h-lla scrilla
in the city of chi the home of the g’s
if ya dont work ya dont eat that’s been the code of the streets
as for me i was brought up at an early age
learned how to cook cane started to gang bang
and its a d-mn shame i chose game
but see i’ma knuckle headed n-gg- with no one to blame
and i’ma gonna keep on tipping under the street lights
and be wondering which n-gg- wanna take my life
until then i’m staying two feet in front of you haters

[chorus]
i’m living the street life
and i just cant get away
i dont know if i’ma gonna make it to another day
so everynight i pray
oh i pray
i’m living the street life
and i just cant get away
i dont know if i’ma gonna make it to another day
so everynight i pray

well i’m surrounded by rats, roaches, and dope fiends
my whole world is being weighed up on a triple beam
man i dont know whats in store for me god
will i reach 21
why is life so d-mn hard
see thats the question thats asked
and is there a heaven or h-ll can the young black live
or will he be chained in the cell
i don’t know as for me i only trusted a few
i had to hustle to survive now what else could i do
they say theres chances for everybody thats bullsh-t
that little girl had no chance when that bullet hit
i mean it blew to the sky
and all you heard was a cry
oh lord don’t let my baby die

[chorus]

til the day that i die i’ll stay true to my neighborhood
f-ck with my neighborhood n-gg- i wish you would
ain’t sh-t changed like oh once said
and oh no fool my n-gg- fred ain’t dead
neither is pook or kansas city
true og’s still here with me
my homie boo, boo what up
and you know i cant forget about my n-gg- n-gg- novesnake
nightime boats and herbie
shine and cherelle would ya pray for me
i rock genue death so dam sensless
big houses what the f-cking radio been missing
and theres one more n-gg- that be true to my heart
mr. motion you the reason while i’m breaking em off
so our
i peed em to dead
whole reason was love
to that n-gg- twist for believing in me
i got a shorty to feed
my priority is to make sure this sh-t dont have to struggle like me
and if i could ask for one more wish
i tell em i wanna hug ya cuz i’m missing ya since

[chorus]

so i’m asking to pray for me
mamma pray for me
daddy pray for me
baby pray for me
please pray for me
pray for me
pray for me
pray for me
