[Intro]
Yeah, yo, we all go through some things in life, that makes us think like, yo, is there really a God? Because, ah, he's he's paying no attention to me, you know what I'm saying? Like, "Hello, I'm over here. Will you please answer at least one prayer, please?"
[Verse 1]
Let's take it back, to 1985
When I was first born, when God gave me life
But I was too small, to understand strife
But now I know too much, and I hate it, right?
[Chorus]
But there's nothing I can do but pray tonight
Pray to who, I don't know, but I hope it's bright
And they answer at least one prayer
But it seems like they don't care
But I don't think anyone's there
Who knows? You don't, so shut up
I don't wanna hear it, no no ugh ugh
[Verse 2]
I look at life like a b**h on her period
And she's mad at me, man, I gotta hear it
All that kicking when I'm down, that is serious
All I wanna do is be a little finer
I wanna wake up once with a smile on
It kinda s**s when I look in the mirror
And I think to myself, "is this it?"
Cause if it is, why the hell was I brought here?
I wanna leave somewhere far where my car steers
Where I have cash and my friends are still here
But I can't grasp the fact that I'm still here
I wanna be him, yeah, I wanna be there
Look at him, big house and a great career
But me, I'm stuck down, yeah, down here
Where the rats run around, 'round here
[Chorus]
But there's nothing I can do but pray tonight
Pray to who, I don't know, but I hope it's bright
And they answer at least one prayer
But it seems like they don't care
But I don't think anyone's there
Who knows? You don't, so shut up
I don't wanna hear it, no no ugh ugh
[Verse 3]
I'm sick of living this life, I'm getting tired
I pray day and night, is someone out there?
Can someone hear me? Hello? I'm down here!
I need a ray of light, it's getting very dark here
I need some proof to prove there's something higher
Is there a God, if there is, does he like me?
Cause it seems like he's screaming "just bite me"
And all these demons are all up inside me
And they're having a drug addicted party
I wanna go back like Doc Brown and Marty
I made a few mistakes and I'm really sorry
I'm tryna ride far but I can't find the car keys
There's no meds that'll heal where life scarred me
Listen up, when your down, just stiffen up
Nobody ever made it anywhere by giving up
[Chorus]
But there's nothing I can do but pray tonight
Pray to who, I don't know, but I hope it's bright
And they answer at least one prayer
But it seems like they don't care
But I don't think anyone's there
Who knows? You don't, so shut up
I don't wanna hear it, no no ugh ugh
[Verse 4]
I'm tired of being broke yo, with no dough
Grab the fo'-fo', and snatch a polo
Hand over the keys to your Volvo
Oh no, and we thought he was soulful
He was peaceful, became deceitful
Went from good and crossed over to evil
He's above the law like Steven Seagal
I'm ready for war like Beanie Sigel
I've lost it all, there's no sequel
We all look alike but we're not equal
It's now or never man, the goal I gotta reach it
Whatever obstacle I got, I gotta beat it
We can't defeat everything in one weekend
You're not a man if you quit and you leave it
Keep trying 'til you find what you seeking
[Chorus x3]
But there's nothing I can do but pray tonight
Pray to who, I don't know, but I hope it's bright
And they answer at least one prayer
But it seems like they don't care
But I don't think anyone's there
Who knows? You don't, so shut up
I don't wanna hear it, no no ugh ugh
