Artist: Joe Budden Album: Mood Muzik 4 Song: Intro (Pray for Them) Typed by: jaysscholar@gmail.com Pray for me, need y'all to just pray for me pray for me, somebody just pray for me Somebody pray for me, need y'all to just pray for me Somebody pray for me, need y'all to just pray for me Now if it goes to the wire I will never fall, I got the soul of a fighter Walk barefoot over the coal through the fire I thought the toll would be lighter But make sure that blunt's rolled a little tighter I tell them I'm just looking for some piece of mind But they say I'm only working with a piece of mine If I'm a do it it be on my own accord, no crutch Swear to God I've never called upon the Lord so much Play the corner of the club, laughing at the wannabes It's ironic cause they everything I want to be Would light a ton of reef But that's going unleash Everything I'm trying to hide underneath Then I'd lose all I've earned And if there's two things that I've learned Is I'm the only thing at stake And when you the only thing real Really you the only thing fake It must be time to escape from that And fuck rhymes, might be time to escape from rap Why should I be the only nigga to escape from the act? So I lie since everybody just escape from fact Yo that sucker shit niggas be on, I can't dig it Joe, won't lose even if you plan to rig it Yeah, nothing to prove with no fear of how I'm depicted I'm here, won't move, I don't care to be evicted You don't like how I move? Well I ain't going to keep still Any nigga want me killed Want to leave me in the streets peeled Well if it happens, it happens, I believe in free will Just know that ain't how we built I'll call niggas that'll dead you for a cheap thrill When the clips empty they going to try to refill And I'm a be the dude to try and stop them like, “Please chill” Y'all know all I'm about They keep putting up roadblocks, I keep finding alternate routes Now success seems likely everybody want to try me I'm all for it, can't trip me up, I won't fall for it I'm just a man without a care Neighbor to heartache, roommate with despair Reminded my past is darker Cause when A.M. died, I was staring at Travis Barker Wishing it was something I could say to make him cheer up And so I prayed and he teared up I ain't want to see him go through that The same shit that I feel, just never showed you that Cause it's none of nobody business And it just makes you look weaker Every joke is just smoke, got to look deeper Never mind, don't bother, cuz some of y'all smarter Enough ain't got sense that if you try harder You'll get a glimpse of everything that I harbor We all ain't got the strength to be a martyr So to anyone who ever loved me I apologize and I'm sorry Wholeheartedly, can't change, it's just part of me It's not music, it's just art to me Too fucked up to drive, here's the car key I don't care where we go just get it far from me Choices I don't want to make But I know I have to, world's going faster Since my ride or die chose the latter Looking for a rush out of habit Proof there's a such thing as too much for a addict Ain't the nigga I'm belittled as, little as nigga come from middle class When you speak to me show a little class Dropped out of school cause a nigga couldn't sit through class Learned to fall asleep through the sound of a pistol's blast I come from where dad taught mom to get high Well she strong so we still got by When I picked up the drug why the fuck was they surprised? If it wasn't for your genes I wouldn't lust the supply I come from a whole hood telling me that I'm next Handed me a mag, must've noticed I was +Complex+ They say that you a wild individual You just not getting my style, you too typical Everybody got a word for me Shit y'all deem important ain't pertinent to me, nigga Put your opinion with a feather and balance that Grab medicine when the success and the talent match Now pray for them, somebody please pray for them Pray for them, need y'all to just pray for them Pray for them, somebody pray for them Somebody pray for them, need y'all to just pray for them
