I Pray

Wake up every morning close my eyes and then I pray
Gotta thank the Lord he let me see another day
Cuz I know without him there won't be another way
See it's been a couple times I coulda seen an early grave
I know they be plotting they waiting on me to fall
Ain't no hesitation when my back against the wall
And if you ever try to touch a hair up on my head
Not saying I'm a killer but you going down instead
I used to be posted out the house playing checkers
Trying to be great but where I'm from they never let us
So I had to up and leave cuz I'm tryna get that lettuce
Stack up on the cheese and then wash it down with a beverage
So you better watch your plate cuz they gon try to take your food
Cuz only when you up is when they recognize you
Watching your every step, waiting on you to slip
But I can peep the fake cuz nigga I'm way too legit
So call it determination, I can never quit
You say that you bout it but my niggas wit the shits
They be loading up the mags, like they shooting pictures
You never learn your lesson so I guess you missed the lecture
Tried to take my life as if imma ever let ya
I'm tryna see my kids grand kids
So that's why I'm finna act like I never met ya
Cuz if I ever see you, you know what it is
Wake up every morning close my eyes and then I pray
Gotta thank the Lord he let me see another day
Cuz I know without him there won't be another way
See it's been a couple times I coulda seen an early grave
I know they be plotting they waiting on me to fall
Ain't no hesitation when my back against the wall
And if you ever try to touch a hair up on my head
Not saying I'm a killer but you going down instead
Ain't got no time to waste so know I gotta keep it pushing
These niggas act like bunnies they be hiding in the bushes
Took my homie Ibra but now they the ones who cry
The peep hole on the tommy so you know they always looking
Wake up every morning close my eyes and then I pray
Gotta thank the Lord he let me see another day
Cuz I know without him there won't be another way
See it's been a couple times I coulda seen an early grave
I know they be plotting they waiting on me to fall
Ain't no hesitation when my back against the wall
And if you ever try to touch a hair up on my head
Not saying I'm a killer but you going down instead
