Mama’s Prayers

[Verse 1]
Don't care about the Devil's plan
Here I am, take me out
I ain't scared
No weapon formed against me prosper, amen

[Verse 2]
Wasn't dealt a shitty hand, but shit just happens, gotta roll with it
My old man was a good man, 'til them demons got a hold of him
And now, they throwin' sin at me, he's Christian, why's he cussin'?
I'm just talkin', sorry, maybe you ain't part of this discussion

[Verse 3]
'Fore you judge him
Lookin' down at where I'm at
Look how far I climbed
Can we stop, and celebrate
I made it out a life of crime?

[Verse 4]
Used to break 'em down to dimes, friends approachin' me, like fiends
How the hell I'm s'posed to tell that testimony squeaky clean?
I done seen shit, you ain't seen
I done did shit, you ain't done
Got in young, traded off my skateboard, for my first gun

[Pre-Chorus]
Daddy like to sip them booze
Almost tripped on daddy's shoes
But my God is for me
Only thing that I can't do is lose
Momma cried herself to sleep
Son ain't playin' by the rules
But my God is for me
Only thing that I can't do is lose

[Chorus]
I went from sinner, to a winner
From a winner, to the champ
Not 'cause I ain't fought
'Cause, I learned to get up, off my back
That's a fact
Sinner to a winner, winner to the champ
Hell and back
Without my mama's prayers, Lord knows where I'd be at, yah!

[Verse 5]
Now, I lay me down to sleep
Mama's prayers echoin' in my head, while I'm rollin' down the street
I got that pistol in the glove box, prayin' they don't make me reach
And honestly, I'd rather box, but these cowards afraid of beatin's

[Verse 6]
Anxiety, testin' my sobriety
Flippin' through the news, witnessin' New Testiment on my TV
Don't make 'em like they used to, I feel bad for our society
I pray my generation ain't the last one of a dyin' breed

[Bridge]
What happened to America?
You talk about one nation under God, they try to bury ya
I said, what happened to America? Mama, I know God hear you
So I pray, you say a prayer for her

[Pre-Chorus]
Daddy like to sip them booze
Almost tripped on daddy's shoes
But my God is for me
Only thing that I can't do is lose
Momma cried herself to sleep
Son ain't playin' by the rules
But my God is for me
Only thing that I can't do is lose

[Chorus]
I went from sinner, to a winner
From a winner, to the champ
Not 'cause I ain't fought
'Cause, I learned to get up, off my back
That's a fact
Sinner to a winner, winner to the champ
Hell and back
Without my mama's prayers, Lord knows where I'd be at, yah!
