SLAUGHTERHOUSE - Pray (It's A Shame) lyrics
rate me<BR>
<i>[Intro: Joe Budden]</i><br>
Lord..<br>
Please continue to guide, direct, and protect my niggaz<br>
From the world, and from themselves<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus: Joe Budden]</i><br>
Lord can you please shine that light on your sons<br>
They sent you a million prayers, you ain't answered near one<br>
{"Ohh, it's a shame, baby baby"} It's a shame<br>
I'm down on both knees, Father talk to 'em please<br>
All you put 'em through is pain, but will it ever cease?<br>
{"Ohh, it's a shame, baby baby"} What a shame<br>
<br>
<i>[Joell Ortiz]</i><br>
Yowwa! What up world? I'm Joell<br>
Sixth floor, project door, broke bell<br>
Only child, no brother, no sis<br>
Moms runnin out the door to go sniff<br>
My highwater pants don't fit<br>
Afro growin all wild, no pic man<br>
{"Ohh, it's a shame, baby baby"}<br>
Is what my teacher said for class pics<br>
My pops? I don't know where he at<br>
He left one day, he said he'd be back<br>
The stove keep me warm in the winter<br>
I'm tired of Beefaroni for dinner<br>
My grandmoms got a bad liver<br>
I'm just watchin her fade away<br>
Man, I don't know what else to say<br>
So at the end of every day I pray, I say<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus]</i><br>
<br>
<i>[Royce Da 5'9"]</i><br>
What up world? I'm the SHIT<br>
I'm headed to Hell in a hand-basket<br>
I pop pills, abuse liquor and kill niggaz<br>
When I die, God ain't gon' judge, he gon' deal with us<br>
That's why them reckless quotes come with my drama<br>
My pops while coke-infested, cum in my momma<br>
{"Ohh, it's a shame, baby baby"}<br>
I know, right?<br>
For those nights that I was havin them seizures<br>
For those mornings that I was havin trouble breathin<br>
C'mon listen; I was only a fo'-pound baby<br>
So I grew up into grown and went fo'-pound crazy<br>
Daddy was gangsta, mommy was passive<br>
Boxin gloves for Christmas, I needed classes<br>
My daddy beat our ass, that's probably why we assassins<br>
But he'll do anythang for me; Joey pray for me<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus]</i><br>
<br>
<i>[Crooked I]</i><br>
What up world? I'm a lost soul<br>
Challengin the devil standin at the crossroads<br>
I just shot a dirty snake with my .38<br>
He shot me too, now I'm waitin at the Pearly Gates<br>
I seen the angel Gabriel and I came real<br>
A lame tried to kill me, so I aim steel<br>
{"Ohh, it's a shame, baby baby"}<br>
Ask God is that somethin that he can't feel<br>
I had a six-shot popper and I brought it with me<br>
I put his thinkin cap somewhere he never thought it would be<br>
I didn't son him, he's a daughter to me<br>
Instead of hangin with thugs he's slangin drugs, shoulda got a college degree<br>
But growin up in the hood'll leave your mind baffled<br>
We put haters in the past like time travel<br>
That's my murder story, I'm past purgatory<br>
I need prayer though, Joey put a word in for me<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus]</i><br>
<BR><BR>
<BR>
