prayers - Jay Prince

Yeah

Yeah, yeah

Times like this, I go

Yeah, I go play, go and find it

Back when I was tryna put my dawgs on

(Tryna put my dawgs, yeah, yeah)

Money low, goin' 'til the wheels fall off

('Til the wheels fall, yeah, yeah)

When I was down, didn’t have no one to call on (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh), yeah

How can I hate when I tell you that it’s all love?

You know I tell you that’s its all love

Yeah, things got real, I had to cool off

Federale pull up when we do nothing

Mama say, «Don't forget to use your medulla

'Cause the world that we live in ain’t too loving» (Nah)

I’m just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)

Everything gon' be alright (Right, right, right, right)

I’m just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)

Everything gon' be alright (Right, right, right)

Back when I was chilling in the Congo

I tell you places that you can’t go

Getting money, getting mbongo

Now I gotta pull up on another city

Just to make a little money for the cash flow

24/7 on the road now

Baby told me that I need to cool down

I been moving too fast, been moving too fast

I been moving too fast now

I don’t wanna live no fast life

She told me that she wanna tag along

I don’t know what that’s like

I’m just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)

Everything gon' be alright

I’m just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)

Everything gon' be alright (Right, right, right)

Look, rap 'cause they wanna hear this

Yeah, show you what you really missing

When I tap into the higher spirits

I let go of the pain and the fear of dying, know I’m on a mission

See, they try and count me out, but I prefer the distance

Coast to coast, I’m really dippin'

In a pool of my own

Can’t name this, tame this, play this in your playlist

Tired of the same messages they’re telling our kids

Black boys gotta live

Black girls been the reason, the only reason I’m here

The crowd cheer when you’re down on your luck

This for my people been supportin' since the polaroid shots

We still here, I seen the world, I had a girl, I been back to the block

Sometimes you gotta bring the value back to the, uh

Bring the value back to the block, yeah, it’s all for the love

Uh, but that’s all that I got

I’m just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)

Everything gon' be alright (Right, right, right, right)

I’m just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)

Everything gon' be alright

I been moving too fast now

I don’t wanna live no fast life

She told me that she wanna tag along

I don’t know what that’s like

I’m just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)

Everything gon' be alright

I’m just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)

Everything gon' be alright

I’m just praying that we get by, get by (Get by)

I’m just praying that we get by, get by, get by (Get by, get by)

Oh
