Pray Fi Dem
(Xavy)
See they will judge the modern day youth
For choosin to express his whole pain in the booth
Or for takin somethin that helps him get by
They can't see he's a dark cloud in a blue sky
He's a rose from the concrete
The isolated find comfort in the wrong things
But it feels so right in the moment
He would finish first in a sad people contest
His mind is fully packed, man I tell you
But the kid is a genius, man I tell you
He wants to tell it all on the world stage
That he's a lion trapped in a bird's cage
(HOOK: T-Low) {Swish}
I wish you could see my war
You never know sufferin unless you have been to the ghetto
Mi brother man, mi youths livin life like they're not free, oh Lord
They've never known peace in their hearts
But you judge what you don't know
No better days, will come around, day and night
Man dem fi yah pray fi dem {atu paile}
Man dem I pray fi dem {atu paile}
Man dem fi yah pray fi dem {atu paile}
Man dem I pray fi dem, pray fi dem, man dem
(Swish)
Mwati niboza, tikonda vintu monga ba chakolwa
We'll prosper in this life and live long, Anaconda
Osayopa, ni dedication for da ghetto culture
Don't call me names like James the way I Bond with your daughter
In the ghetto without make-up to cover her scars
Am the man, the man in, her Coat of Arms
Mi pray for dem, give 'em strength by hearin mi flow
If I drop this mic you can't, pick it up 'cause am Thor
Atu paile....together now, sunga vichite weka
Atu paile....tichokamo pamodzi siniseka
Atu paile....kwasila kuvutika na poison
Mansions is what we'll wake up to in di morning

Me I pray for the ghetto youth
They strip you of your dignity and call that the naked truth
Had to step into the booth, uh
Just to tell you where I relate and am tryna walk into your shoes
Its love over everythin, am talkin everythin
When the ghetto come through better lean like medicine
Cast a stone if you never sin
And I take you to a place that you never been, never been
They say you never know peace
Uh, well it's about to get better, yuh
If they hatin tell 'em dis
Uh, say goodbye, see you later, yuh

See I don't know but everybody got a storyline
From bein a boy to bein a man, that prolly took your time
There was a lot of envy, too much jealousy
'Cause everybody wanna say some before they take a seat
Never judge another brother man's hustle
Whatever works better take your risk man, we all fall
Flashback, niggas sayin that I wouldn't
But I had to quit rap so I could be the new commercial dude
But nowadays I don't stress 'cause am flexin
Money on my mind is a blessing
Lowkey mi na choose who am textin
Oh mi gotta good vibe elevatin
