Pray For Me

INTRO (spoken prayer — DMX energy, your tone)

Father…

I ain’t come perfect, but I came honest.

I ain’t come holy, but I came hungry.

You know my scars, my secrets, my shadows,

and still You call me by my name.

So walk with me…

’cause the streets don’t show mercy,

and the devil don’t take days off.

HOOK (gospel choir + drill drums)

Pray for me while I fight, Lord, pray for me while I rise.

I been wrestling with my demons, but You keep opening my eyes.

If I stumble in the darkness, let Your angels be my light.

’Cause the battle ain’t over —

I’m still swinging for my life.

VERSE 1 (confession + testimony)

I been broken, I been bitter, I been blinded by my pride,

Tryna heal from all the trauma that I buried deep inside.

I done questioned every blessing, I done ran from every sign,

But You pulled me out the fire, said “My child, you still mine.”

I ain’t perfect — I’m in progress.

I ain’t fearless — I’m in process.

But You lift me when I’m faithless,

Turn my losses into lessons.

So I’m kneeling in the chaos,

Hands shaking, heart heavy —

But I’m ready for redemption

If redemption still ready.

HOOK (bigger choir, more urgency)

Pray for me while I fight, Lord, pray for me while I rise.

I been wrestling with my demons, but You keep opening my eyes.

If I stumble in the darkness, let Your angels be my light.

’Cause the battle ain’t over —

I’m still swinging for my life.

---

VERSE 2 (DMX‑style plea + street gospel)

Lord, I’m tired of the nightmares, tired of the guilt,

Tired of carrying the weight of everything I built.

I’m tired of losing brothers to the block and the blade,

Tired of seeing mothers at the front of the grave.

So if You hear me — hear me loud.

If You see me — lift me now.

If I fall again tomorrow,

Don’t let shame take me down.

Give me strength for the war,

Give me peace for the pain,

Give me purpose in the storm,

Give me shelter in the rain.

---

BRIDGE (choir + spoken prayer)

Choir: “Guide him… keep him… hold him…”

You:

Lord, I ain’t asking to be perfect —

I’m asking to be protected.

I ain’t asking to be famous —

I’m asking to be faithful.

Walk with me through the valley

’til the valley turns to victory.

---

FINAL HOOK (full choir, cinematic)

Pray for me while I fight, Lord, pray for me while I rise.

I been wrestling with my demons, but You keep opening my eyes.

If I stumble in the darkness, let Your angels be my light.

’Cause the battle ain’t over —

But with You… I’ll survive.
