[Intro]
Before I sleep
I pray to the Lord
My soul to keep
If I should die
Before I wake
I pray to the Lord
My soul to take
Amen
Lets rock and roll
(India)
I pray to the Lord, yeah, aye
I pray to the Lord, yeah, aye
I pray to the Lord, aye
I pray to the Lord, yeah
I pray at night when I go to sleep
I know he ain't even wanna tell you
God watch over me
Yeah
Aye, aye
[Chorus]
I pray to the Lord
He got me on my knees
He got me on my knees
Please don't take me, please
They lookin' for me now
They tryna bury me
I keep that strap on me
These niggas can't take me
[Post-Chorus]
I prayin' every night, every day
Lord, please just make a way
So much on my plate, that if I eat I'm overweight
Angels over me, they got in me so I'm safe
When times get tough, yeah I just hit my knees and pray
[Verse]
Aye, I can't sell my soul
Lord, no, no, no
I stand on both two feet, yeah, all ten toes
He tried to put me down, yeah, under the floor, yeah
But I'm still right here, yeah, I can't go
I got the heart of a lion
The mind of a champion
Rumbled in the jungle
And you know, I swear I run
Never show no fear
These niggas, they don't scare me none
Always been a fighter
'Lil nigga I don't need a gun
[Interlude]
Aye
'Lil nigga I don't need a gun
Aye
I don't need a gun (I don't need it, I don't need it)
Aye, I pray to the Lord my nigga, I pray every night
Aye
[Chorus]
I pray to the Lord
He got me on my knees
He got me on my knees
Please don't take me, please
They lookin' for me now
They tryna bury me
I keep that strap on me
These niggas can't take me
[Post-Chorus]
I prayin' every night, every day
Lord, please just make a way
So much on my plate, that if I eat I'm overweight
Angels over me, they got in me so I'm safe
When times get tough, yeah I just hit my knees and pray
Before I sleep
