Pray 4 My City

Police siren everyday
People die everyday
Mommas cry everyday
Fathers tryin' everyday
Tryna get my head straight
This the city of Chi-Raq, get your bed made
See death around the corner, boy I dodge him like I owe him
I don't talk if I don't know 'em
Niggas plotting, niggas on me
Boy I lost homies
Some died, some crossed on me
I love the niggas that's down for me
Fuck the ones that send shots on me
The bill's late, they rob me just to get the bills paid
Niggas working for payout
Everyday looking for a way out
Released from jail, I'm tryna stay out
Pray to God, see how it play out
But maybe God tryna test me
This life that I'm living so stressful
In one second, I'ma let loose and everybody in here gonna catch it
Cause right now I can't take it
Lord, when I'm gon' make it
Cause it's Chi-Raq and my city's lost, I can't fall victim to Satan
Please pray for my city, hurry up

Please pray for my city
Too much hate in my city
Too many heartaches in my city
But I got faith in my city
It's Chi-Raq and I love that
You can't take away from my city
Some can't relate to my city
They die everyday in my city

Real talk, I lost plenty
But I'm still out here gettin' it
On the block with my brothers
Tryna eat cause we all hungry
Walkin' up the wrong block
And get your head up
Cause I gotta keep some on me
Can't trust none, can't be him, he ain't done nothin'
I hustle hard for my loved ones
Some was and then some was but I don't judge
Go hard for my city, cause my city got it
They ain't wanna see my city have it
I ain't have it so I went and got it
They talk down on my city but my city matter

Please pray for my city
Too much hate in my city
Too many heartaches in my city
But I got faith in my city
It's Chi-Raq and I love that
You can't take away from my city
Some can't relate to my city
They die everyday in my city

Please pray for my city
Too much hate in my city
Too many heartaches in my city
But I got faith in my city
It's Chi-Raq and I love that
You can't take away from my city
Some can't relate to my city
They die everyday in my city

I'm from where forties get clapped
The story of fact
Niggas can't shoot so babies get whacked
That's how it is in Chi-Raq
And y'all mad cause I don't call it Chicago
I don't live in no fuckin' Chicago, boy I live in Chi-Raq
