[Intro: Labrinth]
I pray for my enemies
I pray for my friends
I pray for the one who won't betray me again
Pray for the killers, I pray for the saints
Please, pray for me now
‘Cause, darling, I pray for you
I pray for you, mmm
I pray for you, mmm
I pray for you
Pray for you (You)
I, you, ooh

[Verse 1: Pusha T]
Rarely do you see the Phoenix rise from the ashes
Lightnin' struck twice on four classics
Self-preservation, we separate ourselves from the plastic
The ankle of my sweat still elastic, still do gymnastics
If Hov's still forever young
Then I'ma somersault backwards through these chapters
Land in thе soft-white, cook it till it's off-white
They quеstionin' my scorecard, hold it to a torch light
I hid it in the porch light, see, I had the foresight
My 9-1-1 was pullin' up to matchin' Porsche night, ooh
The married drug dealer, even named my son Brixx
He raps what he lives, so fuck the nanny, gon' sit
It's the grown man in me
Searchin' for the plug, that's the nomad in me
Still the X factor, that's the Rohan in me
Reluctantly a role model
That drowned in too many gold bottles
Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes
The past ten years, screamin', "Uno"
Then side step back into the duo
The kings of the Pyrex
I'm my brother's keeper if you listen and you dissect
All I talk is money if you listen to my dialect
Bitch, I shot "Grindin'" in my momma's momma's projects
I'm just being honest with you, how is that for context?
You can live forever when the shit you write is timeless
We gon' live forever 'cause the shit we write is timeless

[Bridge: Labrinth]
Oh
Oh, oh (Ooh)

[Verse 2: Malice]
Tell me what I missed
New designer drugs and emotions I don't get
I don't Hellcat, still paddle when I shift
Vietnam flashbacks, I get triggered by a sniff
Today's top fives only strengthenin' my myth
Belong on Rushmore just from chiselin' a brick
Still fightin' demons, see, that curse is now my gift
Secrets die with me, that's as deep as the abyss, that is no coincidence
When I was in the mix, opened up your nose like I'm cuttin' it with Vicks
Slavin' over stoves like I rub together sticks
Paved another road so my soul would coexist
But Heaven only knows, I won't dig another ditch
In a suit and tie, like you puttin' on the ritz
Three record deals show me ignorance was bliss
Tryna milk a game that is only two percent
X told you Hell is hot, I told you, "Repent"
Faith never waivered as I walked along the fence
Faith moves mountains, so what are you up against?
Watch my brother 'round you bitches, I know he pretends
I greet you with the love of God, that don't make us friends
I might whisper in his ear, "Bury all of them"
Light another tiki torch and carry it again
Back up on my high horse, it's chariots again
Put the ring back on her finger, marry it again

[Outro: Labrinth]
Oh
Oh, oh (Ooh)

Terrence Thornton (born May 13, 1977), better known by his stage name Pusha-T, is an American hip hop recording artist from Virginia Beach, Virginia. He currently serves as the President of Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music label.

Pusha-T entered the game in 1999 with his brother No Malice (Gene Thornton) as Clipse on “The Funeral” from Exclusive Audio Footage. While the album was scrapped, this didn’t faze the pair, who went on to release Lord Willin', Hell Hath No Fury, and Till The Casket Drops in the space of seven years. In 2009, No Malice announced he had become a born-again Christian and couldn’t rap about his former lifestyle any longer. This forced Pusha to go solo.

He was invited to attend Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sessions in Hawaii in 2010 and later signed to West’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint. In November of 2015, Pusha-T was appointed by Kanye West to be the new President of G.O.O.D. Music.
