Prayed For

Live and direct Die for respect GB Mando Lucid Connect Yeah Know that it pays to be patient The journey's more rewarding than any final destination No matter the troubles you're facing Hope you find ways to embrace it Cause it's beauty in the struggle Raised from the jungle I know they pray for me to fumble Jack and Jill on this hill Never once did I tumble Through the years of faced fears My family shed too many tears 22 facing eviction Pops non-stop working Cause he's the family's only engine Mom still overseas Every time she calls my phone I feel the breeze through my spine Know I gotta do more So I'm hopping up on beats And I'm rapping down on keys So I can open up these doors So it's no more door to doors And it's peddles to the floor No more sleeping on the floor Know you gotta face the storm Before the sunshine comes Put a leash on your dreams Before it vanishes and runs Know you gotta break bread With the ones who stayed down with you When you had nothing on you but crumbs Was this not everything we prayed for Was it not worth being a slave for I had my back against the wall I was a lonely bird at war Four years of dedication Just to reap the separation Had to trust my intuition Put my instincts over feelings Not every story comes perfect But if it's worth it, it takes time I'm just glad I stayed patient Never missed out on the grind It was things we needed to have Couldn't just fall back And watch my family suffer and demise That's why I'm going extra hard Sacrifices made in the dark I pray someday comes to light It was nights with no lights It was chicken stew and rice Fridge empty most of the times Nothing in it but some ice Roaches crawling through the couch Water barrel filled with mice How you slow to run up the money But so quick to run your mouth You don't know a thing about this life Never in vain the claims I vouch The wolf at the top of the mountain Never as hungry as the wolf on the climb So I put my excuses to the side Cause I know I gotta shine I know I gotta shine I know I gotta shine I know I gotta shine
