Pray for Me

Lyrics

[Intro] (Uh-huh! That's right!) [Chorus] It's important to pray for me (Pray for me) 'Cause death is only one step away from me And all I have left is my soul My heart is heavy, time for me to let it go It's important to pray for me 'Cause death is only one step away from me And all I have left is my soul My heart is heavy, time for me to let it go (Whoa) [Verse 1] Now I'm back on the corner, posted on the roll 'Cause of this glamorous lifestyle, I'm way out of control Let the greed blind me from the knees to my soul Let the weed hide me from the problems that arose I'm the one out of the house and I was bound to be chose When I felt I was drownin', I was found to be froze 'Til the right time to come out, alright, here it goes It's my only chance, coming with the force of a avalanche I dare you to dance with the devil whose angels is rebels Who bang you and hand you the shovel Leave you buried under pebbles Time'll tell, paying off, I'm workin' the hardest Fuck who the loudest, who the smartest artist It's Rakim with all his knowledge Never been to college, insane man who's made plan starters A made man who's made plans retarded Don't get me started, I'm writin' to the dearly departed I'm broken-hearted, you ain't with me now after all we started This ain't a flow, everybody swears, nobody knows Exhibit A, even did it with Xzibit at the show Lose it, If I don't get a chance to blow I'ma bruise it, bang it up, gimme that dough [Chorus] It's important to pray for me (Pray for me) 'Cause death is only one step away from me And all I have left is my soul My heart is heavy, time for me to let it go It's important to pray for me 'Cause death is only one step away from me And all I have left is my soul My heart is heavy, time for me to let it go (Whoa) [Verse 2] And if you think I won't leave you where you stand, you confused Another rapper shot another rapper, seen it in the news There's a team on each side, so which one did you choose? I couldn't swallow my pride, came with my own crew And I'll be all by my lonely, fuck any of his problems Plus my heavy metal band come for me, no problem Plus that bitch by my side, probably look like a model Plus that clip at the side ready to go full throttle And I made it to a master, made it through disaster Now everything is moving faster, got my cash up Don't fuck 'em with me, I just wanna be heard But I have 'em cling on every word, this that and the third I don't need to have fists or say slurs My riff is quick, don't say the word Anything can happen at any time Niggas get offended off of any rhyme Any line to a critic is controversial Then they get sued and now everything like Who wants to merk you, who wanna jerk you Like the truth won't hurt you It's over, somebody you know that don't want you to blow One talk bad about you and shit on your door [Chorus] It's important to pray for me (Pray for me) 'Cause death is only one step away from me And all I have left is my soul My heart is heavy, time for me to let it go It's important to pray for me 'Cause death is only one step away from me And all I have left is my soul My heart is heavy, time for me to let it go (Whoa)
