Protected

[Intro]
I can't even lie
I know I didn't do it on my own, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm just tryna be the best man I could be
Thank God that I had these praying hands over me
Probably would've never made it off from the street
Thank God that I had these praying hands over me
Praying hands over me (Over me)
Praying hands over me, praying hands over me (Over me)
Praying hands over me (Over me)
Praying hands over me, praying hands over me, praying hands over me

[Verse 1]
Watching my back, I don't know who to trust
[?] my circle, it's no one but us
Tint on my windows, [?]
[?]
Look in the mirror, stare at your face
Do you see real, do you see faith?
Do you see love, do you see hate?
Do you see love, do you see faith?
Tell me what you see

[Hook]
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I will
I pray the Lord my soul is clean
I look up in the sky and say
I pray that I survive today
I swear I heard an angel
“We all protect it everyday”
Protected

[Chorus]
I'm just tryna be the best man I could be
Thank God that I had these praying hands over me
Probably would've never made it off from the street
Thank God that I had these praying hands over me (Protected)
Praying hands over me (Over me)
Praying hands over me, praying hands over me (And Lord I know)
Praying hands over me (Over me)
Praying hands over me, praying hands over me, praying hands over me

[Verse 2]
I used to want to lead a life, woo
Fancy cars and flashing lights, woo
Now I see it's all a lie, jealousy all in the eye, woo
Watching for the fakes to phone me
Judas he was Jesus' homie, most his girls all lead along him
Thousand people [?]

[Hook]
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I will
I pray the Lord my soul is clean
I look up in the sky and say
I pray that I survive today
I swear I heard an angel
“We all protect it everyday”
Protected

[Chorus]
I'm just tryna be the best man I could be
Thank God that I had these praying hands over me
Probably would've never made it off from the street
Thank God that I had these praying hands over me (Protected)
Praying hands over me (Over me)
Praying hands over me, praying hands over me (And Lord I know)
Praying hands over me (Over me)
Praying hands over me, praying hands over me, praying hands over me

[Bridge]
To anyone who ever sent up a prayer up for me
I wanna say thank you
It's the realest thing you can give me, yeah
To every angel, [?]
I wanna say thank you, yeah
Straight up
Protected, protected, protected
I'm not on my own, protected
Lord I know, protected
I know I wouldn't have made it on my own
Protected, protected
I'm not on my own
It's not me, protected
Protected, Lord I know
It's not me, protected
I know I wouldn't have made it on my own

[Chorus]
I'm just tryna be the best man I could be
Thank God that I had these praying hands over me
Probably would've never made it out of the deep
Thank God that I had these praying hands over me
Praying hands over me (Over me)
Praying hands over me, praying hands over me (Over me)
Praying hands over me (Over me)
Praying hands over me, praying hands over me, praying hands over me

[Outro]
I'm just tryna be the best man I could be
Thank God that I had these praying hands over me
