Pray

[Intro]
Ladies and Gentlemen

[Verse 1]
Uh
Yeah
I was sent to inspire
I was sent to be relevant
I was sent in inquire
I answer to a higher, but I was sent to be sire
Grip 'em like a pair of pliers and lead 'em to the Messiah
I was sent to enlighten, informin' the ill-informed
Take drastic measures with pleasure
While weatherin' through the storm
Be an oracle or a prophet
The prophecy could be torn
Try bein' a family man and a rapper going on tours
See, rap has become a circus of Kansas City
I'm on and I might as well pitch a tent though
A show had barley been born
And my attitude like a bomb
I might have to snap at Saddam
And I'm cool, calm, collected
Rested inside my palm
This frame of mind in infected
Probably oughta be tested
I be snapping on people
I probably should be arrested
I'm drinking whiskey again
So you probably should be protected
Border manic depressive
Still I'm highly respected
And I bet you wasn't aware that I'm classified as a father
They label me as a crook, let that marinate in your melon
If Area 51 was an area they would sell it
I'd buy it because I'm extraterrestrial
Nigga, tell 'em
I hear 'em talkin' about me
They tellin' me I should quit
It's causin' too many problems
And music ain't doin' shit
You gon' end up losin' your family
Your girl gon' walk with your daughter
Don't take it for granted, Joe
It's a blessin' to be a father
Especially if you able to be with her every day
Now get down on your bended knee
This seem like a good time to pray
Readin' about Sinatra then listen to what he sayin'
Get down on your bended knee
This seem like a good time to pray

[Bridge]
And they said we wouldn't walk (dear God)
And they say we won't stay (we thank you)
And They say we can't win (we thank you for walking with us on this journey)

[Verse 2]
It's a dirty game
But I continue playin'
I set examples for Adrian, Ly, and [?]
See they can do what they want to
As long as they educated
Doctors prescribing Ritalin
All that do is sedate 'em
They takin' the kiddies brains
And they mush 'em until they break 'em
Turn' 'em until they robots
And hopefully they can train 'em
Beat 'em in to submission
The mission is to detain 'em
And make sure the brain is dead
Before entering the arrangement
So the lawyers and judges tellin' his momma
They finna take him and strip him of all of his freedom
Inside of a cell they placed him
He lived the rest of his days in a place that smell like a basement
His girl was holdin' him down
Now she lookin' for his replacement
Especially since he know how she feelin' like every day
Now he down on his bended knee
This seem like a good time to pray
He was readin' up on the Bible now listen to what it sayin'
Get down on your bended knee
This seem like a good time to pray
