Mama's Prayers
Don’t care about the devils plan, here I am
Take me out I ain’t scared, no weapon formed against me prosper. Amen!
Wasn't dealt a shitty hand, but shit just happens gotta roll with it
My old man was a good man til them demons got a hold of him
And now you throwing sin at me, he’s Christian, why’s he cussing?
I’m just talking sorry maybe you ain’t part of this discussion
Fore you judge him, looking down at where I’m at, look how far I climbed
Can we stop and celebrate I made it out a life of crime?
Used to break em down to dimes, friends approaching me like feins
How the hell I'm supposed to tell that testimony squeaky clean?
I done seen shit you ain’t seen, I done did shit you ain’t done
Got in young, traded off my skateboard for my first gun yup
Daddy like to sip them booze
Almost tripped on daddy’s shoes
But my God is for me only thing that I can’t do is lose!
Mama cried herself to sleep
Son ain’t playing by them rules
But my God is for me only thing that I can’t do is lose baby!
I went from sinner to a winner, from a winner to the champ
Not cause I ain’t fall, cause I learned how to get up off my back
That’s a fact! Sinner to a winner, winner to the champ
Hell n back, without my mama’s prayers Lord knows where I’d be at.. Yay!
Now I lay me down to sleep
Mama’s prayers echoing in my head while I’m rolling down the street
I got that pistol in the glovebox, praying they don’t make me reach
And honestly I'd rather box, but these cowards afraid beatings
Anxiety, testing my sobriety
Flipping thru the news witnessing New Testament on my TV
Don’t make em like they used to, I feel bad for our society
I pray my generation ain’t the last one of a dying breed
What happened to America?
You talk about one nation under God they try to bury ya
I said What happened to America?
Mama I know God hear you so I pray you say a prayer for us!
Daddy like to sip them booze
Almost tripped on daddy’s shoes
But my God is for me only thing that I can’t do is lose!
Mama cried herself to sleep
Son ain’t playing by them rules
But my God is for me only thing that I can’t do is lose baby!
I went from sinner to a winner, from a winner to the champ
Not cause I ain’t fall, cause I learned how to get up off my back
That’s a fact! Sinner to a winner, winner to the champ
Hell n back, without my mama’s prayers Lord knows where I’d be at.. Yay!
