Pray (Remix)

[Verse 1: Logic]

They never knew my struggle

Rose above the rubble

Rather live inside they bubble

Than go through the trouble

Of having they double-double vision corrected

They just neglect it and—

I've been thinkin' lately

Will the Devil take me?

Or will God protect me?

I know I ain't perfect, but you should respect me

They don't want me happy

They don't want to let me live

[Verse 2: Sam Smith]

I'm young and I'm foolish, I made bad decisions

I block out the news, turn my back on religion

Don't have no degree, I'm somewhat naïve

I've made it this far on my own

But lately, that shit ain't been gettin' me higher

I lift up my head and the world is on fire

There's dread in my heart and fear in my bones

And I just don't know what to say

[Chorus: Sam Smith]

Maybe I'll pray, pray

Maybe I'll pray

I have never believed in you, no

But I'm gonna pray

[Verse 3: Logic]

I am me

I'm a man, I'm a sinner

But understand, aren't we all?

So when it comes to passin' judgements

I don't think that you're the one to make the call

Heaven want to cast me out for being me

I know there's others like me that'll break the fall

I know you hater motherfuckers just can't relate at all

If I'm the first one to the line, that's fine, I'll take it all

Well, Logic, he gon' let 'em know

I ain't perfect, but I'm worth it

I'm alive, I deserve it

I been praying, I ain't playin'

I don't think you hear the words that I'm sayin'

I don't think you know the weight on my shoulders

That gets heavier as I get older

Callin' anybody, callin' anybody

"Can you hear me?"

I pray that you hear me

I pray that you hear me

[Chorus: Sam Smith]

Maybe I'll pray (Lord), pray (Lord), maybe I'll pray

I've never believed in you, no, but I'm gonna...

[Bridge: Sam Smith]

Won't you call me?

Can we have a one-on-one, please?

Let's talk about freedom

Everyone prays in the end

Everyone prays in the end

Oh, won't you call me?

Can we have a one-on-one, please?

Let's talk about freedom

Everyone prays in the end

Everyone prays in the end

[Outro: Sam Smith]

Oh, I'm gonna pray

I'm gonna pray

I'm gonna pray

Pray for a glimmer of hope

Maybe I'll pray, pray

Maybe I'll pray

I've never believed in you

No, but I'm gonna pray
