LORD PREPARE ME

[Intro]

Lord, prepare me

Lord, prepare me

Lord, prepare me

Lord, prepare me

[Verse 1: Killer Mike]

I got a testimony, I done been tested, homie

Stood at that stove whippin' the work, counted the money

Money's the root to all evil, so tell me why you need it, Jesus

I'm sellin' dope out of Regals and every week payin' tithes to a preacher

I once had three women, lived multiple lives

They gave me four children, so now they get treated like multiple wives

We ain't fuckin' no more, still treat 'em with honor

Important they know that they was much more than just my baby mamas

My mama, she told me, plainly and coldly

You done made babies, fuck all the rappin', you gotta sell O-Zs

And, yeah, I did it, I gotta admit it

I slung the hard, but had to be God how I got away with it

I could be dead, I should be scared

I got away clean, but coulda got caught with that dirt by the feds

Never woulda made it traffickin' hard

Shoulda been dead or in jail, but look at me standin' here praisin' the Lord

[Chorus]

You're my strength, gimme my faith, Lord, I need you

Lord, prepare me (Turn up the headphones for me, ayy)

[Verse 2: Belly Gang Kushington]

Lord, prepare me, you know these hoes scare me

I'm eatin' thousand-dollar shit, wagyu steak, nigga, rare meat

I said Lord, prepare me, I let these hoes share me

A body costs a thousand dollars in my hood, I'm a boss, nigga, dare me

Lord, drive for me, do a little time for me

I had a worker duct tape bricks and put 'em inside for me

Lord, hide for me, Lord, provide for me

I had a couple of pieces, they put in some work and they tried for me

Lord, kill for me, Lord, be real with me

I had to scam in a couple of stores, man, Lord, steal for me

Lord, heal for me, Lord, feel for me

I had to sell me a couple of blocks, man, Lord, deal for me

Lord, you think they was fuckin' with me when it come down to sellin' these drugs?

You think these lil' niggas is talkin' like me, mane, you hear what I'm tellin' these plugs?

You think— my bad, you know I'm just scared of your love

Man, ever since I been a little boy, I been scared of your hugs

[Chorus]

You're my strength, gimme my faith, Lord, I need you

Lord, prepare me

[Verse 3]

Lord, I done been through thangs, I feel like I lived like two or three lives

Please forgive me for my wrongs, I just wanna do it right

Lord, I been smokin' weed again, really gotta take it easy, man

I been hangin' in the 'jects like I ain't just signed a deal, got a check

Lord, I know that you know me, Lord, you the one and only

They really be thinkin' they you (Real) when you the most high and holy

I'm the Moses for all my people, few know what that mean

I'm isolated, but I'm never lonely, I know you won't fail me

No matter where I go (You never fail me), I know that you are with me now

And, Lord, you gon' be here tomorrow (You always prepare)

Your love is here forever more

And there's so much you got in store (You never fail me)

I know that you are with me now

And, Lord, you're gon' be here tomorrow (You always prepare me)

Your love is here forever more

And there's so much you got in store
