E-40 - Pray For Me lyrics

rate me

Seen a lot pain

Since I was a child

So PRAY FOR ME!

I've done a few things that just ain't right

So PRAY FOR ME!

What I been through would make you cry

So PRAY FOR ME!

I'm trying to change my life

So PRAY FOR ME!

(Uuuuggghhhh!)

Ain't no dope on the streets mane

I'm behind in my rent

I ain't got nothing to show for all the fedi that I done spent

I told my mom where the cash at

My live insurance policy is the money

She been planning on using to bury me

My ribs touching

My paper struggling mane

All my life I been hustling

Running in place

But can't seem to finish the race

See dudes get whopped in the face

Get plucked like a bass

Flew in the space

For senselessness

That's why I stayed prayed up

And say my grace

Even when I'm blended

Never know when your life is suspended

God can take his arms from around you

And easily end it

At any time, any place, any where

I know my life has been spared on several occasions

Suckas hating

I'm still here

I can block

Why does it take a funeral to bring a family together

Bad weather always looks worse through a window

Stressing and rubbing my temples

I make it look easy but it's really not all of that simple

Young dude full of soul food

Mama cooking pork chops

Uncle slapping dominos

Sister playing hop scotch

This was before the block got hot & infected

And everybody knew my grand daddy well respected

Time went on and the game begin

I was loosing comrades either death or the penn

I was loosing comrades but I'm stacking them ends

We ever go to 600 we losing our friends

When grand mama passed that's when it all went bad

Aunties taught my cousin fighting is bad

In the snow Thanksgiving is like the ones we had

And it's sad

So I express through a pen and a pad

I'm on my 3rd wind pimpin'

And knowing Jesus is with me

Ain't no weapon form against me

Back in common defeating

Posted in the cut til those angels come get me

Until that day homie

Just pray for me

My kinfolk

My baby momma on welfare

They house is bigger than ours

Cause they got section 8 vouchers, W.I.C. & benefit cards

My home girl daughter diabetic she like to eat a whole lot

She only 9and a half and taking insulin shots

My dude got a heart condition his ankle be swollen

Cause he got high blood pressure and he refuse to quit smoking

But I'm no better than ya'll

I like to drink alcohol

Break out the pen and start writing about the things that I saw

Like kilo grams of that hard and Peruvian flake

Wrapped in aluminum foil and duck tape

Bust open and throwed in the pot

Foamy and mush

Melted & locked in a shape of a gigantic size white cookie

Put on the towel to dry & broken down into zips

Quarters & half of 16's and yola get flipped

I maintain my faith in GOD cause it's just a test

Repent, we confess

Ask for gratefulness, yes I'm blessed

I'm here right now

I need ya'll to take this pain away

I'm trying

Feels like I'm dying

I need ya'll to pray for me

Oh Lord

Every time I look around

Somebody got something to say

I need ya'll to pray for me

I'm trying to do the right thing

PRAY FOR ME!
