Prayer — текст песни (U-God f Autumn Rue)

[Intro: U-God]
Forgive me..
For all that shit I did in my past..
You know what I`m sayin`...

[U-God]
Is anyone out there? Does anyone care?
This is my testament, my bedtime prayer
I resent my sins, oh Lord, listen clear
I can feel it in the heat of the night, and in the air
Lord, give me your ear, I want you, to understand
Please forgive me, I`m a righteous man
Tryin` to do the best I can, just to feed my fam
I might die, in these streets, by some jealous hands
Now I can it`s some scam, from the root to the fruit
Cuz when they see me in the streets, grimey`s guns salute
Me, it`s the moment of truth, I got mud on my boots
Plus the sounds of the sirens, cops in hot pursuit
Pray for me..

[Chorus 2X: Autumn Rue]
As I lay thee down to sleep
I pray the Lord, the soul to keep
If I die, before I wake
I pray the Lord, the soul to take

[U-God]
All this pressure, building up in the pot
When the schemes released, I`m bout to blow my top
I`m the cream of the crop, when machine guns pop
I seen the death angel come when I see son drop
I cried, tattoo tear drops, cuz inside it hurt
I saw his life flash before him, as he lied in the dirt
And searched for heaven on earth, in his debts, sold in land
I poisoned my own community, with kilos and grams
And people don`t take a stand, politics tempers flare
They build, prisons `stead of parks, children end up in there
It`s the welfare, the precinct, the daycare`s, indecent
The churches, the priest, inside the belly of the beast
It`s, diseases, crack babies, people actin` crazy
Oh Lord, can you save me? If not, snatch up my baby
Ohhh..

[Chorus 2X]
