[Intro]
Ooh, I pray
So I pray
Uh
[Verse 1: Reuben Vincent]
She love me, but she hate that I can't give her time
By 8 a.m., I'm skatin', I be on the grind
She wanna be a mother, worryin' 'bout Father Time
But before we talk 'bout diapers, need them dollar signs
Patience, shawty, I really need them payments and
You anxious 'bout it, but knowin' it don't make sense
We make love still just because we young and dumb
Shallow wounds never heal, look what we become
To pay the bills, I'm part-timin', makin' chump change
My cousin say hе make quadruple that in drugs
Quadruple that by thе time they give you front of the judge
I decided that the bars for me better behind the drums
Again, still, look what I've become
A hustler, a workaholic, scared to be in love
So once a nigga come, I gotta go, I'm on the run
'Cause if I ain't makin' funds, I feel I don't amount to nothin'
[Chorus: Kelly Moonstone]
I know you got this cake to earn
So I'm prayin' for your safe return, baby
I just worry and I have concerns
'Cause it's danger around every turn, and maybe
I might understand the game sometimes
But that don't mean that everything is gravy
You said to hold you down, to be your lady
But what about your baby, baby?
[Verse 2: Heather Victoria & Reuben Vincent]
She said, "I know that you been strugglin' with addictions"
I know you been conflicted, misusing your influence, tryna pimp it
I know that you afraid of commitment
I know that you be thinkin' makin' pay the only way to some contentment
I know that you been prayin' for forgiveness
I know that stage get hot, only Jehovah to witness
I know that as a man, you hide emotions just to keep the peace
I hope you know I'm prayin' for you when you in these streets
I pray you don't lose your soul to this industry
I pray you don't be a casualty to the enemy
Sometimes, I pray you would come back home and live with me
Come have some kids with me, redirect your energy
I guess you gotta go and get it, so go and get it
But I'ma leave you with this message, baby, don't forget it
I know you wanna chase to make the pape'
But you're never gon' be happy 'til the problems, you face
So she prays
[Chorus: Kelly Moonstone]
I know you got this cake to earn
So I'm prayin' for your safe return, baby
I just worry and I have concerns
'Cause it's danger around every turn, and maybe
I might understand the game sometimes
But that don't mean that everything is gravy
You said to hold you down, to be your lady
But what about your baby, baby?
[Outro]
I pray you get (Pray you get)
What you are working for (What about your baby, baby?)
And I pray that you wake up (But what about your baby, baby?)
Walk through the door (That door)
And I pray that they don't trick you up off these streets
And take you from me
I pray you get it together
This is my prayer for you, baby
