That's why we pray
Pray pray we got to pray just
To make it today
I said we pray pray
Oh yeah we pray pray
We got to pray just
To make it today
That's what we pray
All my life I wanna make it to the top
That's what we pray
Some say I win they told me nobody didn't stop
That's what we pray
Working hard making those moves every day
That's what we pray
And on my knees every night you know I pray
I said we pray
I hear we pray
We got to pray just
To make it today
I said we pray
Oh yeah we pray
We got to pray just
To make it today
Now I just think that you can do whatever you want
I'm busting these rhymes making this money when I want
Forget my people or my town or my race
And on my knees every night I'm still gonna pray
That's why we pray
Oh yeah we pray
We got to pray just
To make it today
I said we pray
Oh yeah we pray
We got to pray just
To make it today
Time and time and time and time and time again
I kept on knocking but these people wouldn't let me in
I tried and tried and tried and tried to make a way
But nothing happened till that day that I pray
That's why I pray
Oh yeah we pray
We got to pray just
To make it today
I said we pray
Oh yeah we pray
We got to pray just to make it today
Children dying also best from this and that
Needing money working that ** smoking that crack
Ten years old stand outside don't look out
Dead and gone
Never had a chance that's what we claim
Oh yeah we pray
We need to pray just to make it today
I said we pray
Oh yeah we pray
We need to pray just to make it today
That's why we pray
That's why we pray
That's why we pray
That's why we pray
That's why we pray
That's why we pray
Oh yeah we pray
We need to pray just to make it today
I said we pray
Oh yeah we pray
We got to pray just to make it today
On a mission dot the count here we go
Kickin back take these words we need to know
Livin high livin good livin low
Take a minute bust a prayer you've got to go
That's why we pray
Oh yeah we pray
We need to pray just to make it today
I said we pray
Until we pray
We need to pray just to make it today
That's why we pray
