My Prayers

I be locked up in my house and I be feelin' okay
I be sendin' out my prayers for my people, oh yeah
Wonder if we all get through this will we rebuild it right?
Wonder when we all get through this, will we go back to fights?

Right, this is our chance, build up a world that makes suffering end
We don't wanna fight, only wanna love
Only return to the roots of above
This is our duty, this our right
Build up a world that we all can be proud of
Cut all the lies, cut all the lines
Earth is one country what the heck is borders, huh

We are all family, we, we, we, we
We are all family
We are all family, we, we, we, we
We are all family

I be tired of my feelings, ain't nobody wanna know
And I be tired of the thoughts that just don't wanna let me go
And I be tired of the hatred that I feel deep in my soul
Tired of the shadow man, standing on my shoulder and
Whisperin' inside my head

Forever I will keep you dead
Forever I will keep you not believin' in yourself
Forever is as long as you don't wanna face yourself

Forever is a long time, really just a moment
But if the only moment you had was just a moment
What if you were focused, what if you had frozen
Frozen in a picture, had you frozen on a moment

When you were broken
When you weren't growin'
When you weren't hopin'
When you weren't flowin', now you flowin', oh man

So tell me
It ain't the truth, huh?
When the phone be yelling you don't hit the snooze, nah?
Don't get stuck in thinking patterns, you don't do tha'?
You pay attention to the win and not the lose, huh?

And if you lose you call it winning, am I right though?
'Cause even losing is a win if you take lessons
For such a time I was depressed, I took a lesson
I looked to Yemen, and I swear, I saw His presence

I be locked up in my house and I be feelin' okay
I be sendin' out my prayers for my people, oh yeah
Wonder if we all get through this will we rebuild it right?
Wonder when we all get through this, will we go back to fights?

How come all these voices in my head they all be hatin'?
How come all these voices rather wanna see me fadin'?
What with all the pictures of me drownin' when I'm bathin'?
What with all the negativity when I be failin'?

We are not the same 'cause when I fail I call it trainin'
Watchin' all my thoughts get on a train and I be waivin'
I know I cannot identify, my thoughts are playin'
Observin' all the voices on my path to my awakenin'

Concentratin', scuba divin', willingly in my dark holes
Deeply breathin', activatin', higher me, I call it soul
Contemplatin', no debatin', only prayin', woah
Only one who saved me from myself was Him and I know

I be locked up in my house and I be feelin' okay
I be sendin' out my prayers for my people, oh yeah
Wonder if we all get through this will we rebuild it right?
Wonder when we all get through this, will we go back to fights?

I be locked up in my house and I be feelin' okay
I be sendin' out my prayers for my people, oh yeah
Wonder if we all get through this will we rebuild it right?
Wonder when we all get through this, will we go back to fights?
