Praying for a River - Soul Khan

Son, I’m here to bring a lil bit of heat to the climate

That you could hold forever like the peace of the silent

The same hand I used to try to reach for the sky with

Just found a black box with a piece of the pilot

I’m tryina make a movement

Like warith deen mohammed

And it ain’t gonna move if the machine ain’t behind it

You wanna be grassroots

That’s cool, but cash rules everything around

So your dream’s on consignment

You claiming independent like it’s july 4th

But you pay for them to spin it, what do you lie for

Make me wanna hit you with a fucking two-by-four

'til it’s sticking out your head like a unicorn

This ain’t a uniform

It’s my body to the belly with it

So pour another shot of belvy in it

There’s a war going on inside so either help me win it

Or suck my dick and take a selfie with it

Hook:

For the fish outta water

In his last moment

Praying for a river 'round the corner

And for the kids out of order

Living mad hopeless

I blame it on the way that they were brought up

Yo i’mma need that mic back like

Attention teachers and students

This is deeper than music

A thunder god’s speaking

Son, I’m not leaving 'til the money Joss Whedon

Can’t nothing stop me until I’m asleep the with tulips

If i ain’t on your top ten list then y’all don’t know what a top ten is

I’m all that you asked for fans from the trap to the tractor

Back court covered in the glass from the backboard

You want to see it simple and plain

The whole picture doesn’t ever really fit in a frame

And sometimes you just live with the pain

Like how my right leg gets stiff in the rain

But you don’t hear me complain cause my fam go thru it

And my mans go thru it, so i rambo through it

Shit, my mother’s got cancer in her bones

Don’t tell me watch a motherfucking throne

Soul done changed

For the fish outta water

And for the kids out of order

Living mad hopeless
