I Pray - Soom T

I pray for dem who cut me down who try to make me frown

Who push me hard into the water try to make me drown

Throwing paint into my face so I looked like a clown

And laugh at me behind my back when I head into town.

I pray for dem who say mean things and judge me like a fool

Who tell their friends and neighbours, all who’ll listen that I’m far from cool

Make up stories to hunt me down with lies and other vicious tools

Stick the knife into my back weigh me down this tired mule so I know what to do

Pray for them I pray for them

I want to dig them out the dirt like a precious gem

Pray for them, I pray for them

So I forgive the ones who throw cold water onto flames

Trying to put out the fire and then pass the blame

Speak ill of all others who’ve been allies to this dame

I believed them for a while but now I feel so ashamed

I was blind to wicked ways, hatred they used against good friends

Swaying my desires to seek what they wanted

See me fall down and live like I’ve been haunted

Pray for them I pray for them

I want to dig them out the dirt like a precious gem

Pray for them, I pray for them
