Pray (feat. J Cole & JMSN)

She got on tights with the leather skin
She a rockstar, bring the heavy metal in
Girl shaped like a coke bottle, Medellín
In love with her 'til she went and let the devil in
She pop pills like medicine
She probably gon' die, it's startin' to be evident
I told her, slow down, girl you're heaven-sent
I'm a thug but I got a heart like Kev and them

And I can't let this girl throw her life away
Kick the door in the room and told her to put the knife away
Took her to the hospital like right away
She a angel with demons, the girl like night and day
Stressed out, parents getting divorced
Girl love 'em both, she ain't tryin' to sit in court
She a square so it's hard to see the angle
And that's why God gave her an guardian angel, it's me

And I'm here for her, swear to God that I'm here for her
Last nigga got her caught up in the airport
She ain't had no pride, so she went and did a year for him
She a ride-or-die, like Eve and them
Make home-cooked meals every evening
Start stripping on the side, now I'm tipping on the side
Love life like Joselin and Stevie and them

Am I wrong for being the best that I can to her?
Takin' her son and tryin' to be a man to him
She don't wanna pray, but I told her put her hands to it
I done came a long way from that tan buick
Yeah, grandmother would be proud of me
Almost got the devil all the way the fuck out of me
Remember momma knockin' on the door hounding me
Bought her a car and a crib even though she doubted me

When I wake up every day (even though she doubted me)
I thank the Lord that we are safe again (even though she doubted me)
That's why you should pray for me (even though she doubted me)

That's my momma and I love her with my heart like I love you
If you strugglin', baby daddy ain't takin' care of the kids
Girl, you can get a hug too
I'm here whenever you need me
Gon' reach out, it's that easy
I love women, 'cause without women
Wouldn't none of us niggas be breathin'
So let's

(Pray) bow your head
(Pray) bow your head
(Pray) bow your head
(Pray) bow your head
(Pray) bow your head
(Pray) bow your head
(Pray) bow your head
(Pray) Cole

Good girl at heart, I remember you wel, I remember you well
Got a husband and kid, but I flirt
Hope you do a little dirt 'cause I'm diggin' you still
That's real, but nah, you don't text back
And deep down I respect that
'Cause even though a nigga wan' tap that shit
I don't wan' be the one to wreck that shit, so

So I fall back, year go by, I got more plaques
Just to get a call from you tellin' me you miss me
And you wanna see me next time the tour's back, damn
Well, what changed then?
She tellin' me her nigga had her caged in
Every time she think about me on the road
She be cryin' realizin' all the places that she ain't been

Well, it's cool, I'll pick you up
Hold you down, lift you up
These other niggas try and fuck
I'm the only one who cut and still came back to stitch you up
So we fuck, say what?
You ain't been home lately, you ain't heard that nigga
Her man left 'cause she cheated on his ass
Found her pills in a bag, yo, she burned that nigga, she burned that nigga

Say what? She burned that nigga, burned that nigga
Say what? She burned that nigga
Dawg, she burned that nigga
He beat her ass in the crib
Then he went and did a bid all 'cause a bitch burned that nigga
Now dawg, that's real ass shit
That's word around the ville ass shit
Get the strap up, get the strap up
Please tell me that you strapped up nigga
We could kill that bitch if you want to
I'm cool, I strapped up, played by the rules, damn
While I'm sittin' here blessed, she at the crib all alone and she stressed
So nigga I pray, bow your head

(Pray) bow your head
(Pray) bow your head
(Pray) just bow your head
(Pray) bow your head
(Pray) bow your head
(Pray) bow your head
(Pray) bow your head

When I wake up every day
I thank the Lord that we are safe again (yeah, yeah)
That's why you should pray for me
Oh, when I wake up every day
I thank the Lord that we are safe, amen
That's why you should pray for me
That's why you should pray
