| [00:12.21] |
As I wake up in the mornin', stretch my arms wide |
| [00:15.26] |
Before I even yawn or wipe the cold out my eyes |
| [00:17.95] |
I say Al Humdulillah, givin' praise to my God |
| [00:20.95] |
Allowin' me another day, blessin' me to rise |
| [00:24.33] |
Know at any given moment, it could be my demise |
| [00:27.15] |
'Cause you only get a minute to pray |
| [00:29.70] |
And a second to die |
| [00:31.01] |
And realizing that I've come to terms with that |
| [00:34.01] |
One day I'm gon' burn for all my heinous acts |
| [00:37.14] |
I know a sincere prayer can only change my fate |
| [00:39.89] |
So I drop, prostrate and pray it ain't too late |
| [00:42.58] |
For me to ask for forgiveness and increase my faith |
| [00:45.83] |
And guide me on the path that's straight |
| [00:48.39] |
And never lead me astray |
| [00:49.83] |
'Cause I know I can't walk this alone |
| [00:52.08] |
I'm in fear of that fork in the road |
| [00:54.21] |
The devil there, waitin' to claim my soul |
| [00:56.33] |
So I pray that You, hold my hand |
| [00:58.58] |
As I follow your footprints in the sand |
| [01:01.14] |
Now I know I done did some wrong |
| [01:03.64] |
And I ain't been to talk to you in so, so long |
| [01:06.64] |
So I'ma hit my knees and extend my palms |
| [01:09.70] |
And send this up to you and hope you hear this |
| [01:12.77] |
I'll be prayin' |
| [01:14.77] |
Prayin' |
| [01:16.01] |
I'll be prayin' |
| [01:17.45] |
Prayin' |
| [01:19.08] |
I'll be prayin' |
| [01:20.64] |
Yeah |
| [01:22.20] |
I'll be prayin' |
| [01:24.14] |
Ayee yeah |
| [01:25.96] |
I often find myself stuck, just starin' in space |
| [01:28.26] |
Feel like hours at a time, my mind driftin' away |
| [01:31.96] |
Can't quite collect my thoughts or put 'em in place |
| [01:35.29] |
And I grab a glimpse of my momma with a head full of grays |
| [01:38.10] |
I know they shouldn' be there |
| [01:39.54] |
Nah |
| [01:40.28] |
Not for her age |
| [01:41.35] |
And then I think of how I stressed her and shortened her days |
| [01:46.41] |
Her long sleepless nights, not knowing if I was safe |
| [01:47.97] |
Or was my name on the list of the reaper that day |
| [01:50.29] |
I sink deeper as I feel a tear creep down my face |
| [01:53.91] |
I wipe it away, now my thoughts on life in the grave |
| [01:56.35] |
I know on that day that three things gon' go wit ya |
| [01:59.10] |
Ya family, ya wealth and ya deeds but two gon' leave |
| [02:02.35] |
And when that last person leave that site |
| [02:05.79] |
The grave gon' squeeze so tight |
| [02:07.97] |
Ya ribs gon' overlap till every bone crack |
| [02:11.79] |
I drop my head in despair, imagine going through that |
| [02:15.22] |
I smell fire then I notice the hole in my pants |
| [02:18.16] |
I drop my cigarette butt and brush off my ash |
| [02:21.16] |
I'm still stuck but I notice a car pass |
| [02:24.22] |
I hear the driver cussin' me out over his horn blast |
| [02:27.41] |
Damn, this can't be right, let me snap back to life |
| [02:30.97] |
How long I been stuck, day dreaming at this light? |
| [02:33.73] |
Wondering if that's a sign of how I'm moving through life |
| [02:36.35] |
A reckless abandon, a accident, just waitin' to happen |
| [02:40.28] |
Now I know I done did some wrong |
| [02:43.24] |
And I ain't been to talk to you in so, so long |
| [02:45.30] |
So I'ma hit my knees and extend my palms |
| [02:48.18] |
And send this up to you and hope you hear this |
| [02:51.30] |
I'll be prayin' |
| [02:51.99] |
|
| [02:52.98] |
Prayin' |
| [02:53.23] |
I'll be prayin' |
| [02:56.11] |
Prayin' |
| [02:56.48] |
I'll be prayin' |
| [02:58.48] |
Yeah |
| [02:58.98] |
I'll be prayin' |
| [03:04.17] |
Ayee yeah |
