Pray With Me

[Verse 1]
Pray with me, don't play with me, hands together, rosary
Sins heavy on my back, weighed down like groceries
Halo crooked, wings clipped, but I’m still fly
Devil whisperin’ in my ear, I tell him, “Bye-bye”
Cash rules, but my soul ain't for sale
Tried to cage me, but I broke outta hell
Angels cryin', rain drips on my face
A sinner in the struggle, but I’m savin’ my grace
[Chorus]
Pray with me, don't play with me
Truth cuts deep, sharper than any blade could be
Pray with me, don’t stray from me
Keep your faith strong, ain’t no fakery
[Verse 2]
Nightmares in my dreams, sleep ain't sweet
Shadows lurk, streets cold, no heat
Mama said, "Child, keep your head high"
But the block loud, gunshots kiss the sky
Chains on my wrist, but I ain't no slave
Freedom in my heart, 'til I hit the grave
Prayers on my lips, world heavy on my chest
They test my patience, but I give 'em my best
[Bridge]
Light in the darkness, I’m the spark in the void
World tried to break me, but I’m self-employed
Faith in my corner, fists up, I swing
Even when I’m down, hear the angels sing
