Dolla - Ghetto Prayer lyrics
[Dolla - Ghetto Prayer lyrics]
11-25-87 I wep my first cry
Momma gave birth eternal twins but
One of us died a heart racing
Body aching doctors looked suprise
He's a miracle child he made it out alive
But since the womb I was doom
But I was taught to survive
Daddy could'nt stay in the room
He's losing his mind
Told the nurse to come and
Get him when everythings fine
He's outside on his knees and
Asking god for a sign
Let her make it though the labor
Cause I know she trying
I heard through the grape vine that
In you I can find
I know it's work against time
But I need you now
I could'nt stand to see my
Wife lose another born child
Meanwhile my momma 1 2 3
Sqeezing the nurse hand then out comes me
My momma's only son daddy's little man
Prayers was answered right there
Where he stand
Lord I know in these streets
This life ain't fair
But, I hope you understand, please
Forgive me for what I gotta do
Can you hear my ghetto prayer
Dear lord can you hear me please
Can you answer my prayers?
You know it's hard down here
It's seems nobody cares
I'm the man of the house but
I can use some help
I can't image all the pain
My momma heart done felt
I was only yeh high when you took my pop's
Now everybody start to say I
Look like him alot
My older sister Puda yeah she
Be runing the streets
I'm a couple much younger she
Don't listen to me
My little sister Nikki she be depending on me
I'm in the streets everyday making
Sure that she eats
It's crazy cause at the same
Time I'm stressin' my mom
I gotta call her every now and
Then so she can stay calm
Don't wanna see her baby boy
Locked down or poped up
And Tori keep telling me to
Stick to this rap stuff
It's hard believe me especially
When the rent due
My other half died and scrap
That's why they sent you my nigga
Lord I know in these streets
This life ain't fair
But, I hope you understand, please
Forgive me for what I gotta do
Can you hear my ghetto prayer
It's been times when I felt like giving up
Could'nt take the pressure stress
Start building up
You see the corner of my eye start filling up
And I can go anywhere but I'm feeling stuck
(Go)
I guess the hood got me strapped and caged in
It's getting harder everytime that
The world spins
I can't win cause it seems I was born sinner
No matter what I'm always guilty
I was born NIGGA they say the eyes never lie
Look me in my soul
I spit pain cause that's all
I ever really know i walk the hood see the
Blood stains in the streets
It's' kids dying I swear it's taking over me
I can't sleep over ghetto birds and gun shots
I'm staring at the ceiling thinking
With my gun cocked i guess it is what it is
So I'm dealing with it
It's hard to breath in the
Ghetto but I'm still living
Momma gave birth eternal twins but
One of us died a heart racing
Body aching doctors looked suprise
He's a miracle child he made it out alive
But since the womb I was doom
But I was taught to survive
Daddy could'nt stay in the room
He's losing his mind
Told the nurse to come and
Get him when everythings fine
He's outside on his knees and
Asking god for a sign
Let her make it though the labor
Cause I know she trying
I heard through the grape vine that
