It’s Me (Standing In The Need of Prayer)

Daddy died when I was just eleven
Standing in front of the judge, mama gave me away
Papa was a preacher
Yea he taught me faith
But when he died, we had nothing
I had to seek His face
So I got down on my knees
And I prayed please

Oh, it’s me
Me, oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer
Oh, it’s me
Me, oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer
Not my mother
Not my father
Not my sister
Or my brother
But it’s me, me, me, oh Lord
Standing in the need of prayer

Sometimes you gotta kneel
Close your eyes and cross your hands
Then get up without clarity and take a chance
It takes a genius to Master P the master’s plan
It’s a daily crucifixion taking Lucy for a dance

You wanna walk off the job
Just like Enoch
But first we need a shoe deal, Nike or Reebok
Tell ‘em all who real
Preaching from the top
Purpose had a plan
And we don’t plan to stop

Jimmie Allen, everybody
It’s me
Me, oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer
Oh, it’s me
Me, oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer
Not my mother
Not my father
Not my sister
Or my brother
But it’s me, me, me, oh Lord
Standing in the need of prayer

If you see answers to world problems
You’re called to solve ‘em
Never know what’s next
Ya can’t call ‘em
Demons on your neck
Pray and fight all of ‘em
Let ‘em say what they want
But please don’t fall for ‘em

Mister steal yo girl saying please stop callin here
Pray for me
I’m giving my all in here
If I don’t stand for something
I could easily fall from him
Be patient with me if you catch me in these streets

Well, it’s me
Me, oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer
Oh, it’s me
Me, oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer
Not my mother
Not my father
Not my sister
Or my brother
But it’s me, me, me, oh Lord
Standing in the need of prayer

Come on to the prayer line
Here’s a move if you need a sign
Turn left
Turn right
Turn around and tell somebody

It’s me
Me, oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer
Oh, it’s me
Me, oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer
Not my mother
Not my father
Not my sister
Or my brother
But it’s me, me, me, oh Lord

Tarrey Torae, take it away
I’m standing
In the need of prayer
