[Intro: Pulp Fiction Scene]
Jules: Well, allow me to retort. What does Marsellus Wallace look like?

Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
[Verse]
I ain't been to church in a minute
But I ain't going back for a minute
And if you're with it, you're with it
You wanna know my religion?
Well I am the man I believe in
Praying to God for a ghost
Praying to God for the frost
Getting too high I’m toasted
Trevor Noah leave you roasted
In the corner nigga we was posted
Bad mami make it twerk
Go to Maars with the work
Pull out an Uzi no Vert
I ain't pullin’ out she on a pill
I'm like God this shit getting too real
I might give her a baby for real
I might, give
I might give her a baby for real
[Hook]
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
[Verse 2]
Wake up in the morning and I pray to god
Wash my away my sins
I'm with your mami playing Sims
She bend it over for the team
I'm hitting it hard for it for real
She leanin' on me like lean
She squirtin' she causin’ a scene
She bow down swallow me
She bow down and swallow me
I'm hittin' it hard from the back
I'm finna break the spine
I told her don't waste my time
Don't even love me
Baby you know love is crime
You can buy pussy
I'll buy me a farm
Tryna make money
I need a charm
Boy make it rain like he changin' the storm
[Hook]
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
[Bridge]
Jules: Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the Inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of Darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children
[Hook]
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
Every night I pray
Get on my knees and say
Don't take me Lord, not today
I'm still tryna cop a wraith
