Praying Mothers

Lyrics

It all makes sense now, it all makes sense now [Chorus] Praying mothers It ain't nothing like them praying mothers Y'all be listening to them praying mothers Man, I'm glad I got a praying mother [Verse 1] A mother's love runs deep, it's never known to stop All them nights that she couldn't sleep 'cause you was out on the block Big press to the face 'cause losing her child would be a waste Scared to watch the news 'cause she nervous that she might see your face Not innocent no more, what he do she ain't tryna know Streets capturеd him early, she lost him a long time ago Yеt every night leads to the flow, nothing severed the love Asking God to keep you safe from danger wherever you was It's rare when she see you, you hanging with the wildest people Even family members be telling her that her child is evil She won't ever give up on him though, every day is a downer Yeah you might got something bad to say, just don't say it around her [Chorus] Praying mothers It ain't nothing like them praying mothers Y'all be listening to them praying mothers Man, I'm glad I got a praying mother Praying mothers It ain't nothing like them praying mothers Y'all be listening to them praying mothers Man, I'm glad I had a praying mother [Verse 2] Praying every day an hour so it don't pay to doubt her Think about all the situations you shouldn't have made it out of Matters the issue, she be riding to the fullest with ya You had moments where you can't explain how them bullets missed ya And every second you was in the world thieving and reckless, she never stopped believing that you was being protected From time to time, on the porch she would see a detective As long as she knew that you was breathing, she could accept it You movin' ratchet, what you doing could prove to be tragic Got her entertaining the thought of her choosing a casket Refusing to break from the madness but promised you would But every time she tried to talk, you like, "mama, I'm good" [Chorus] Praying mothers It ain't nothing like them praying mothers Y'all be listening to them praying mothers Man, I'm glad I got a praying mother Praying mothers It ain't nothing like them praying mothers Y'all be listening to them praying mothers Man, I'm glad I had a praying mother [Verse 3] Running wild, you've been out of control for too long Mama confused, asking God what did she do wrong But still loved you when everyone else's hope was gone 'cause she praying to a power that's stronger than that dope you on Some of your partners didn't make it, they laying and stretched Others ain't never leaving prison, they saying you next You never call or visit, got your [?] lady depressed To that woman who gave you life, you ain't paying respect Missing the happy times with you, reflecting on pictures And every morning when she wake up, she texting you scriptures Waiting for you to straighten up is a true test of patience How some of us manage to make it—just one explanation [Chorus] Praying mothers It ain't nothing like them praying mothers Y'all be listening to them praying mothers Man, I'm glad I got a praying mother Praying mothers It ain't nothing like them praying mothers Y'all be listening to them praying mothers Man, I'm glad I had a praying mother
