The Prayer

[Intro]
Hallelujah

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I don't have the timing, that's why you in my corner
Around this same time last year I put rap on the back burner
Thought I'd get it out the mud but you already gave the pavement to me
I wonder why you never gifted me the patience

[Chorus]
You can judge me if you wanna but ung'xolele uThixo
You can judge me how you wanna but ung'xolele uThixo
Nkosi ung'xolele for today and tomorrow
Me and the devil got a little bitty tango
I know you got plans for me I don't even know about
You do way morе for than I ask for
Ngapha sometimes I act like you ain't еven there so-
Sometimes I be in the way of what you got in store for me

[Verse 1]
My mama tried to take me to rehab and I said “No”, the fuck no
I'm geeked up as we speak
Percocet, Mylon Aprozalium and Codeine like it ain't kill DJ Skrew, Fredo Santana and Pimp C
But you talkin’ to umuntu okhohlakele ang'na nhliziyo
Neighbourhood I'm from they jack they friends then help them find they shit
Can't change my DNA, I'm slimey
Ak'siyimi imali, ak'siyim' iSenaoane

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I don't have the timing, that's why you in my corner
Around this same time last year I put rap on the back burner
Thought I'd get it out the mud but you already gave the pavement to me
I wonder why you never gifted me the patience

(Chorus)
Nkosi ung'xolele for today and tomorrow
Me and the devil got a little bitty tango
I know you got plans for me I don't even know about
You do way more for than I ask for
Ngapha sometimes I act like you ain't even there so
Sometimes I be in the way of what you got in store for me
Nkosi ung'xolele for today and tomorrow
Me and the devil got a little bitty tango
I know you got plans for me I don't even know about

[Verse 2]
Still ducking the police yeah
I'm a trapper baby, ain't got no life policy
Still ride with that thing on me
If I die, what my mama 'dem gon' do ‘bout this shit?
‘Cause I'm still gon' slide if someone got a problem with me
‘Cause I still det hah like l'm not a million dollar business
I cannot deny umusawakho ang'u-deserve but don't desert me

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I don't have the timing, that's why you in my corner
Around this same time last year I put rap on the back burner
Thought I'd get it out the mud but you already gave the pavement to me
I wonder why you never gifted me the patience

(Chorus)
Nkosi ung'xolele for today and tomorrow
Me and the devil got a little bitty tango
I know you got plans for me I don't even know about
You do way more for than I ask for
Ngapha sometimes I act like you ain't even there so
Sometimes I be in the way of what you got in store for me
Nkosi ung'xolele for today and tomorrow
Me and the devil got a little bitty tango
I know you got plans for me I don't even know about
