Hip Hop Prayer

[QuietTruth]

Our Father's Who Aren't In Heaven But Jail Instead
Help Guide Us To Give Us This Day To Get Our Daily Bread
Give Us Strength To Make It Thru The Night Wit Another Plan
And Lead Us Not Into Temptation To Kill Another Man

It's pretty funny how the world works, though it's no joke
Workin' two different jobs but still comin' home broke
Hustlin' to make ends, let alone making them meet
Got ur kids rasin' themselves gettin' taught by the streets
I started but I didn't finish like every nigga in the hood
Now I'm another statistic I'm goin' balistic and it ain't all good
Niggas told me to get mine and I said I'm gon shine
I saw the light of my life even when times was blind
I walked over my luck like seein' a penny on the ground
Had more chances than one and shot each one of 'em down
I slacked up, backed up now life gettin' me slapped up
Call me Chris Rock cuz niggas on the block got me laughed up
I put a 'curse' on myself and nigga I'm a terrible 'speller'
I was the star but now I'm the background like space to stellers
Skippin' school to analyze a KRS One lyric and learn your hip hop history
But failed ur whole English class cuz you couldn't piece together Antigone
Now life is flashing by, and you was independent all your life
U want guidance from ur pops but like JCPenny's 'they're all inside'
So what to do now?.......................Write your story down
Put it in a Prayer..........................Let the Lord hear

Our Father's Who Aren't In Heaven But Jail Instead
Help Guide Us To Give Us This Day To Get Our Daily Bread
Give Us Strength To Make It Thru The Night Wit Another Plan
And Lead Us Not Into Temptation To Kill Another Man

Coming from where I'm from is like bein' locked in the pens
Surrounded by a gate keep the niggas like inmates and don't become friends
To us hell ain't the end, it's where it begins
Heard the talk? Another nigga died over something stupid again
Projects is like jail once they released, they'll come right back in
Lessons is never learned and sometimes losing everything is a win
Especially if it prevents somebody from gettin' hurt again
If low income creates crime, are you saying bein' poor is a sin?
Cuz God musta loved poor people since he made alotta of dem
Wit that bein' said what to do now but write a story down
Put it in a Prayer..........................Let the Lord hear

Our Father's Who Aren't In Heaven But Jail Instead
Help Guide Us To Give Us This Day To Get Our Daily Bread
Give Us Strength To Make It Thru The Night Wit Another Plan
And Lead Us Not Into Temptation To Kill Another Man

Pray For The Evil, Pray For The Hate But Pray For The Best
Pray For Us Sinners Now And At The Hour Of Our Death
