Prayed For Me
I know my mama prayed for
Cause I shoulda been dead and gone
I know God made a way for me
Cause he wouldn't leave me on my own
But this is the life I chose to live
So I gotta give it everything till my last days
And I know imma fall but imma live
Got so much to give
And I'm so glad that my mom prayed
I been stuck in my head
Constantly think about people and all that they said to me
They scared of me
Scared that a young black man might get the best of me
Cool
Your opinions your own
Your actions I do not condone
If you gotta shoot
Please remember the people that you gonna leave all alone
But you did this yourself
You can't expect to get no help
From the dad, you disappointed
And the prayers your mama kept
Now you scared to go to sleep
In a bed you made yourself
Maybe now you'll get the picture
Since you starting to accept
That life what you make of it
Gotta earn it no cheating your way to the top
We all gotta stop
For the nuggets of knowledge the elderly drop
I pray you do better than you think you'll ever do
But you gotta realize your biggest enemy is you
Not the supremacists
Yeah they all gon get what's coming too
If you live by the lies then you'll die by the truth
This is not me being righteous
I just hope I'm getting through
Only reason you alive is cause she prayed for you
I know my mama prayed for
Cause I shoulda been dead and gone
I know God made a way for me
Cause he wouldn't leave me on my own
But this is the life I chose to live
So I gotta give it everything till my last days
And I know imma fall but imma live
Got so much to give
And I'm so glad that my mom prayed
Let me do some sweeping round my porch
I don't need remorse
I been thinking bout decisions, that's correcting course
Never been the one for problems
Flow but never force
The hand that feeds
Still sin but he meets my needs
If God didn't love his children
Then why would he plant these seeds
For life to expand horizons
But limit it by our greed as humans
I feel that prayers been falling on deaf ears
I feel success is limited by my fears
For years I hid behind mentoring all my peers
My tears coulda made an ocean
My goals been crystal clear
My vision muddied by people, not in my Oval Office
My path anointed, they couldn't if they wanted to stop it
Don't speak often but I know my dad been praying too
In his defense, the type of bond I need ain't make it through
Know you won't be here forever
So I hope you see
The results of every time that you prayed for me
I know my mama prayed for
Cause I shoulda been dead and gone
I know God made a way for me
Cause he wouldn't leave me on my own
But this is the life I chose to live
So I gotta give it everything till my last days
And I know imma fall but imma live
Got so much to give
And I'm so glad that my mom prayed
I know my mama prayed for
Cause I shoulda been dead and gone
I know God made a way for me
Cause he wouldn't leave me on my own
But this is the life I chose to live
So I gotta give it everything till my last days
And I know imma fall but imma live
Got so much to give
And I'm so glad that my mom prayed
Cause I shoulda been dead and gone
I know God made a way for me
Cause he wouldn't leave me on my own
But this is the life I chose to live
So I gotta give it everything till my last days
And I know imma fall but imma live
Got so much to give
And I'm so glad that my mom prayed
