[Hook x2: Fella]
That's why i, faithfully pray at night
I, don't wanna live this life
I, pray to the lord that he change my ways
An im, prayin for love, and im, prayin for peace
And i pray every night that i don't die in the streets
And im prayin for you, and im prayin for me
[Verse 1: Fella]
And i don't wanna sell but it's hard to prevail
When you live where i live
And you from where im from
You start seein it young talkin drugs and guns
When i turned 16 i seen this nigga get slumped
I know some niggas caught life
And half that shit wasn't right
But when the structure for a loss
You tell me how to fight back
That's why we fussin and bussin out here causin these problems
And us young niggas heartless we never met our fathers
I never met my daddy
And yeah my momma had habbit's
She left her 3 boys behind and yeah that fucked me up badly
That's why im so damn ratched and never givin a damn
Just know im prayin every night before you judge who i am
[Hook x2: Fella]
That's why i, faithfully pray at night
I, don't wanna live this life
I, pray to the lord that he change my ways
An im, prayin for love, and im, prayin for peace
And i pray every night that i don't die in the streets
And im prayin for you, and im prayin for me
[Verse 2: Fella]
And im, prayin for you, but im, prayin for me
Cuz i, know i ain't right, but i, know he got me
So im , prayin for you cuz i know you ain't right
Cuz if you lived like he say
You wouldn't be worried bout my life
You wouldn't ask why i smoke, or why i drank like i do
Or why im sellin these drugs and why i kick it with thugs
And why i walk with a pistol
And i don't see these niggas
And why i fucked her one time if i ain't want nuthin with her
Before you judge this nigga, criticize this nigga
It ain't bout what's on the out
But what's inside this nigga
Watch what you say to this nigga
How bout you pray for a nigga
Cuz lord knows im prayin that he change this nigga
[Hook x2: Fella]
That's why i, faithfully pray at night
I, don't wanna live this life
I, pray to the lord that he change my ways
An im, prayin for love, and im, prayin for peace
And i pray every night that i don't die in the streets
And im prayin for you, and im prayin for me
