Much like ‘Dirt On The Name Of Steven’ and ‘I Won’t Sell My Soul’, Zheani’s second song off of the album discusses many of the traumatic experiences she had to bear witness to as a child, particularly the continuous domestic violence from her stepfather towards her mother and family.

[Verse 1]
My momma had this one baby daddy that told me
He would come to my house and kill my family
He was the man with the bat
The speed had swallowed him whole
And there where no murals painted in this chemical swirl
I was just a little girl, obsessed with locking the doors
Less than ten years old, imagine what I saw
And if you relate to what I’m saying, my heart breaks for you
I pray and fucking shake for heaven sakes for you
[Chorus]
Pray, pray for you
Pray for you
My heart it breaks for you
Pray, pray for you
I pray for you
My heart it breaks
My heart it breaks for you
[Verse 2]
And I’ve wet the bed from another night terror
Heaven gave my baby sister an angel's soul in error
Georgia grew up autistic, father going ballistic
Too sweet for this world, a fucking swine and a pearl
And I’ll take care of my girl, until I’m 80 years old
Won’t let the cruelty of this life ever make me cold
Enter my circle of fire
Second that we locked eyes, foretold your demise
[Pre-Chorus]
Growin’ up I saw the blind, leading the blind
I met the the cruel, I met the kind
And all the pain has made me wise
And I pray for you
And I pray for you
(Pray, pray, for you, you)
[Chorus]
Pray, pray for you
Pray for you
My heart it breaks for you
Pray, pray for you
I pray for you
My heart it breaks
My heart it breaks for you
Pray, my heart it breaks for you
[Verse 2]
Enter my circle of fire
Second that we locked eyes, foretold your demise
[Outro]
Pray
Pray for you
Pray for you
My heart it breaks for you
(Pray, Pray)
For you, I pray for you
My heart it breaks
My heart it breaks for you
For you
