Somebody Praying for Me (feat. Zhé Aqueen & O-Z)

A yo I never needed recognition
They gone feel shit as long as the record spinning
Ever since I was younger I had a better vision
I been nice with it man y'all just never listened
A big nigga though I had small start
Painting pictures with words dawg it's all art
Y'all can't break me man I'm all heart
Y'all talk a lot of shit but never win I guess y'all John Starks
Y'all all cap my pens nice like Pittsburgh
Y'all wake up with my name in y'all mouth take a shit first
I was told "you better pray boy it's gets worst"
You get numb to it all the more you've been hurt
But fuck it I my nigga I gotta carry on
Hall of fame flow but they treat me like I'm Barry Bonds
Or Pete Rose
I guess when you make a lot of hits they only see you through the peephole

Man I used to want the fame and glory
I wanted to shit on everybody that hated on me
But I am who I am you can't change my story
Shit I made it this far somebody praying for me
Man how you make it out Somebody praying for me
Them struggles didn't take you down
Somebody praying for me
But I am who I am you can't change my story
Shit I made it this far somebody praying for me

Ain't sunshine in the hood again
We was trying to make it out we far from hooligans
You got an open verse they guaranteed to shoe me in
It was never 'bout the money man you got to lose to win
Fuck fame it's overrated to me
I know a couple Jordan's in the hood that ain't in the league
I know I'm here because my mama still praying for me
Don't need no standing ovation y'all stay in y'all seat
'Cause I was in the trenches with my ride or dies
Yea we was on the front porch if you was riding by
I was down and out barely sliding by
But music saved me its my guiding light
I faced every problem with it eye to eye
A lot of temptation yet I rarely had a silent night
I hope the money never change him
I pray I never forget where I came from

Man I used to want the fame and glory
I wanted to shit on everybody that hated on me
But I am who I am you can't change my story
Shit I made it this far somebody praying for me
Man how you make it out Somebody praying for me
Them struggles didn't take you down
Somebody praying for me
But I am who I am you can't change my story
Shit I made it this far somebody praying for me

Yo somebody pray
For me
I don't pray but I say what I say
Everyday like it's faith to me
Still look up at the stars and they say to me
Shine bright, tho hindsights the other way to me

They all chase me
Aye look if you wanna race me
You gon have to erase me, nigga press the escape key
Because there really is no way that im moving
Moving companies can't replace me, look

Thought I was done son the Carter 4
I'm booked like the art of war
You shook cause I took what I'm starving for
Artifact flow dinosaur
Hip hop connoisseur
Conjuring these bars from a time before
Go hard like yes indeed
My whole fam come from the West Indies
So I could never stop, ain't no less in me
But I listen where the lessons be B!

Man I used to want the fame and glory
I wanted to shit on everybody that hated on me
But I am who I am you can't change my story
Shit I made it this far somebody praying for me
Man how you make it out Somebody praying for me
Them struggles didn't take you down
Somebody praying for me
But I am who I am you can't change my story
Shit I made it this far somebody praying for me
