[Intro – soft / reflective]
Yeah… Lord…
I been talkin’ to You since I was a kid…
Mama said pray even when nobody hear you…
Grandma said He see everything, even the tears I hide…
And I’m still here… still prayin’.
⸻
[Verse 1 – story / melodic rap]
I grew up where prayers hit harder than the streets (yeah)
Grandma on her knees, askin’ God for peace (uh)
Church clothes on Sunday, hide the pain inside (ohh)
Smiles for the people, but my heart gotta cry (Lord)
Bills on my mind, demons lurkin’ around
Everybody say “trust God,” but the storm loud
I stumble, I fall, then I get back up
Prayin’ in the mirror, tryna fill my cup
Friends turn cold, some get rich, some fade away
I prayed for guidance, whispered on my knees every day
Faith ain’t perfect, it’s fightin’ through the rain
Even when the world make you question His name
Ad-libs: yeah…uh…Lord…ohh…
⸻
[Chorus – melodic / layered]
I’m still prayin’, even when my faith weak (yeah)
Still believin’, even when the pain deep (ohh)
Callin’ on Your name when I don’t sleep (uh)
Lord, You know me, yeah, You know me (yeah, yeah)
I been fallin’, tryna stand tall (stand tall)
World heavy, feel like I can’t breathe at all (ohh)
If You with me, I’ma risk it all (risk it all)
I’m still prayin’, yeah, I’m still prayin’ (uh, yeah)
⸻
[Verse 2 – struggle / street-conscious]
I seen shooters quote scriptures, but they don’t live it (yeah)
Pastors fall, made me question my vision (uh)
Temptation strong, I slipped, then repented
Same streets, same nights, devil tested relentless
Lost friends, broken hearts, nights I can’t sleep
Devil talk slick like he know me deep
But I remember the cross, scars still holy
Faith whispers softly, “I see you, don’t go lonely”
Ad-libs: uh…yeah…Lord…ohh…
⸻
[Bridge – reflective / melodic]
If You never bless me with gold or fame
Don’t let my heart ever turn to pain
I don’t need crowds, I need peace
I don’t need applause, I need relief
You seen me cry when nobody’s there
You seen the nights I couldn’t say a prayer
So if I rise or stay unknown
Just don’t let me walk this road alone
⸻
[Chorus – emotional / layered]
I’m still prayin’, even when my faith weak (yeah)
Still believin’, even when the pain deep (ohh)
Callin’ on Your name when I don’t sleep (uh)
Lord, You know me, yeah, You know me (yeah, yeah)
I been fallin’, tryna stand tall (stand tall)
World heavy, feel like I can’t breathe at all (ohh)
If You with me, I’ma risk it all (risk it all)
I’m still prayin’, yeah, I’m still prayin’ (uh, yeah)
Ad-libs: Lord…uh…ohh…yeah…
⸻
[Outro – spoken / reflective]
Not perfect… just real…
Still walkin’… still prayin’…
Lord, You know me… yeah… You know me.
