E-40, B-Legit, Suga-T, Bosko - Pray For Me lyrics

I've seen a lot of pain since I was a child
So pray for me
I’ve done a few things that just ain't right
So pray for me
What I’ve been through will make you cry
So pray for me (Pray for me)
Oh, I'm trying to change my life
So pray for me

OOOUH! Ain't got no dope on the streets, man
I'm behind on my rent
I ain't got nothin' to show for all
The fetti that I done spent
I told my mama to cash
Out my life insurance policy
The money that she was planning
On using to bury me mayne, my ribs touching
My papers strugglin', mayne
All my life I've been hustlin'
Runnin' in place
But can't seem to finish the race


Seen dudes get whopped in the face
Plucked like a bass
Flew into space for senselessness
That's why I stay prayed up and say
My grace even when I'm blended
Never know when your life is suspended
God can take his arms from around
You and easily end it
At any time, any place, anywhere
I know that my life done been spared
On several occasions, suckas hatin'
I’m still here
How come loved ones fall out and
Never talk again to each other?
Why does it take a funeral
To bring family together?
Bad weather always looks worse
Through a window
Stressin' and rubbin' my temples
I make it look easy but it's
Really not all that simple, oOOUH!

I've seen a lot of pain since I was a child
So pray for me
I’ve done a few things that just ain't right
So pray for me
What I’ve been through will make you cry
So pray for me (Pray for me)
Oh, I'm trying to change my life
So pray for me

Young dude full of soul food
Mama cooking pork chops
Uncle slapping dominoes
Sister playing hopscotch
And this before the block
Got hot and infected and everybody knew my
Granddaddy well respected, check it
Time went on and the game kicked in
I was losing comrades
Either death or the pen
I was losing comrades but
I'm stackin' them ends
Whoever go to 600 how we losin' our friends
When grandmama passed
That's when it all went bad
Aunties don't talk
My cousin fightin' his dad
And there's no Thanksgivings like
The ones we had and it's sad
So I express through a pen and a pad
I'm on my third wind, pimpin'
Knowin' Jesus is with me
Ain't no weapon formed against me that
Could come and defeat me
I be post in the cuts when
Them angels come get me
Until that day, homie, just pray for me

I've seen a lot of pain since I was a child
So pray for me
I’ve done a few things that just ain't right
So pray for me
What I’ve been through will make you cry
So pray for me (Pray for me)
Oh, I'm trying to change my life
So pray for me

My kinfolk baby mama on welfare
They house is bigger than ours
'Cause they got Section 8 vouchers
WIC and benefit cards
My homegirl daughter diabetic
She like to eat a whole lot
She only nine-and-a half and
Taking insulin shots
My dude got a heart condition
His ankle be swollen
'Cause he got high blood pressure and
He refuse to quit smoking
But, I'm no better than y'all
I like to drink alcohol
Break out the pen and start writing
About the things that I saw
Like kilograms of that raw
And uncut Peruvian flake
Wrapped in aluminum foil and duct tape
Bust open and throwed in a pot
Foamy and mushy
Melted and locked in a shape of
A gigantic sized white cookie
Put on the towel and dried
And broken down into zips
Quarters and halfs and sixteenths
Of yola get flipped
I maintain my faith in GOD
'cause it's just a test
Repent and confess, extra grateful
Man, yes, I'm blessed, oOOUH!

I've seen a lot of pain since I was a child
So pray for me
I’ve done a few things that just ain't right
So pray for me
What I’ve been through will make you cry
So pray for me (Pray for me)
Oh, I'm trying to change my life
So pray for me

Oh (Pray for me) , I'm here right now
I need y'all to take this (Pray for me)
I need you to take this pain away
I'm trying (Pray for me)
Feels like I'm dying (Pray for me)
I need y'all to pray for me oh Lord
(Pray for me) every time I look around
Somebody got something to say (Pray for me)
Ooh ooh, I need y'all to pray for me
I'm trying to do the right thing
(Pray for me) pray for me
