Pray - The Game, J. Cole, JMSN

She got on tights with the leather skin

She a rockstar, bring the heavy metal in

Girl shaped like a coke bottle, Medellín

In love with her 'til she went and let the devil in

She pop pills like medicine

She probably gon' die, it’s startin' to be evident

I told her, «Slow down, girl you’re heaven-sent»

I’m a thug but I got a heart like Kev and them

And I can’t let this girl throw her life away

Kick her dorm room in and told her put the knife away

Took her to the hospital like right away

She a angel with demons, the girl like night and day

Stressed out, parents getting divorced

Girl love 'em both, she ain’t tryin' to sit in court

She a square so it’s hard to see the angle

And that’s why God gave her an guardian angel

It’s me, and I’m here for her, swear to God that I’m here for her

Last nigga got her caught up in the airport

She ain’t had no pride, so she went and did a year for him

She a ride-or-die, like Eve and them

Make home-cooked meals every evening

Start stripping on the side, now I’m tipping on the side

Love life like Joselin and Stevie and them

Am I wrong for being the best that I can to her?

Takin' her son and tryin' to be a man to him

She don’t wanna pray, but I told her put her hands to it

I done came a long way from that tan Buick

Yeah, grandmother would be proud of me

Almost got the devil all the way the fuck out of me

Remember momma knockin' on the door hounding me

Bought her a car and a crib even though she doubted me

(When I wake up every day) even though she doubted me

(I thank the lord that we are safe) even though she doubted me

(Again, yeah) even though she doubted me

(That's why you should pray for me)

That’s my momma and I love her with my heart like I love you

If you strugglin', baby daddy ain’t takin' care of the kids

Girl, you can get a hug too

I’m here whenever you need me, gon' reach out, it’s that easy

I love women, cause without women

Wouldn’t none of us niggas be breathin'

So let’s

Good girl at heart — I remember you well, I remember you well

Got a husband and kid, but I flirt, hope you do a little dirt

Cause I’m diggin' you still, that’s real

But na you don’t text back and deep down I respect that

Cause even though a nigga wanna tap that shit

I don’t wanna be the one to wreck that shit

So, so I fall back, year go by I got more plaques

Just to get a call from you tellin' me you miss me

And you wanna see me next time the tour’s back, damn

Well what changed then?

She tellin' me a nigga had her caged in

Every time she think about me on the road

She be cryin' realizin' all the places that she ain’t been

Well it’s cool, I’ll pick you up, hold you down, lift you up

These other niggas try and fuck

I’m the only one who cut and still came back to stitch you up

So we fuck, say what?

You ain’t been home lately

You ain’t heard that nigga?

Her man left cause she cheated on his ass

Found her pills in a bag, yo she burned that nigga

(She burned that nigga)

Say what?

She burned that nigga (she burned that nigga)

Say what?

She burned that nigga

Dawg, she burned that nigga

He beat her ass in the crib then he went and did a bid

All cause a bitch burned that nigga

Now dog, that’s real ass shit

That’s word around the ville ass shit

Did you strap up?

Did you the strap up?

Please tell me that you strapped up nigga

We could kill that bitch if you want to

I’m cool, I strapped up, played by the rules, damn

While I’m sittin' here blessed, she at the crib all alone and she stressed

So nigga I

When I wake up every day

When I wake up every day

Amen, ooooh

That’s why you should pray for me — that’s why you should pray
