| [00:02.00] | Joe Budden - Pray For Me |
| [00:11.00] | |
| [00:32.98] | I woke up without a heart beat |
| [00:35.02] | But, I remember we was just in the car deep |
| [00:38.07] | Was at a light, and got approached by a car thief |
| [00:40.73] | He pulled out but didn't ask for no car keys |
| [00:43.50] | A loud noise without a voice but i'm tryna scream out...shit is not fair |
| [00:47.31] | I can't tell you where i'm at or how I got here |
| [00:50.30] | Surrounded by all white, maybe it's just cloudy |
| [00:52.50] | Escorted by two men who knew everything about me |
| [00:55.22] | Both of 'em so strong, kept sayin' hold on |
| [00:58.23] | Feel like my soul's gone...naked no clothes on |
| [01:01.39] | I know this can't be my fate, I scream wait |
| [01:04.56] | As they drop me in front of a gate |
| [01:06.54] | They left no trace...I can see my every breath |
| [01:09.32] | Like a cold day, stood in front a man with no face |
| [01:12.18] | He said to me "please dont make this any harder" |
| [01:15.03] | Who the **** is you? "my child i'm your Father" |
| [01:17.49] | I only got one dad "is that a fact to you?" |
| [01:19.91] | "He left you when you was young, I brought him back to you" |
| [01:23.40] | "You're real close to heaven, few get to step in" |
| [01:26.02] | "Now tell me what you've done to deserve to be let in" |
| [01:28.74] | Look i'm far from a Christian, not big on religion |
| [01:31.53] | But ain't done too much wrong my entire time livin' |
| [01:34.23] | Never killed, never tried to...though I been lied to |
| [01:37.01] | Was once suicidal, never read the Bible |
| [01:39.81] | I always been a caretaker, tried to nurse people |
| [01:42.97] | At times it back fired...hurt people, hurt people |
| [01:45.77] | Plus I never used your name in vain |
| [01:48.14] | But you should know everything I'm bein' asked explained |
| [01:51.00] | "I know you stole from your mother's purse" |
| [01:52.62] | You can't count that, that was way back when |
| [01:54.16] | "It's still a sin" ...but I was ten |
| [01:56.69] | "You robbed peoples' stores" Yeah, and YOU made me see jail |
| [01:59.91] | "But I also seen you lay your hands on a female" |
| [02:02.12] | "Sold drugs to parents, none of that was needed" |
| [02:04.81] | "Abandoned your child, on every girl you cheated" |
| [02:07.44] | "Done wrong to people that only want the best for you" |
| [02:10.35] | "Anytime you thought you were alone, I was next to you" |
| [02:13.11] | When it comes to baby moms...God you gave me the worst one |
| [02:15.92] | "But that was your second child Joe...you shouldn't have killed the first one" |
| [02:18.60] | I ain't have a job...ain't have a pot to piss in |
| [02:21.44] | "Look I gave you a gift, and you made the wrong decision" |
| [02:24.12] | "Held on to resentments, even in doin' business" |
| [02:26.91] | "I lead by example, I teach forgiveness" |
| [02:29.81] | "Your entry...cannot be guaranteed" |
| [02:32.35] | "Not when you live with anger, envy, greed" |
| [02:35.41] | "Pride, sloth, lust even glutony" |
| [02:38.13] | "Everything you shouldn't if you would've joined my covenant" |

| [02:43.68] | "When I take you out a jam, you don't even think to worship" |
| [02:46.18] | "And when you do...you never talk about what... |
| [02:49.30] | "...You can do for me, it's what I can do for you" |
| [02:51.92] | "I blessed you with health, family and wealth" |
| [02:54.61] | "But all the blessings you've received...you still always want help" |
| [02:57.37] | Yeah there's been times in my life I needed help to make money |
| [03:00.36] | But why everything I love, you manage to take from me |
| [03:03.06] | Yet you stand there and question a nigga that tries hard |
| [03:05.71] | And finds a way when you keep dealin' him ****ed up cards |
| [03:08.54] | You make mistakes like me, far as I can see |
| [03:11.23] | I think it's a mockery whenever rich niggas win the lottery |
| [03:13.84] | Gave us Bush twice, God I hate to be rude |
| [03:16.76] | But you let skinny niggas starve, give obese niggas food |
| [03:19.55] | The nerve of you tellin' me I dont deserve to stay here |
| [03:22.51] | When you gave us drugs and guns, you put AIDs here |
| [03:25.34] | Take a look at chu, your actions are cold hearted |
| [03:27.87] | The harsh shit is you bring babies in the world retarded |
| [03:30.87] | I know most my actions put me in a cell |
| [03:33.51] | Now how you mad at me when you put me in the Hell? |
| [03:36.33] | "See my child, you need gratitude, maybe just a sample" |
| [03:39.16] | "I never give a person anything he can't handle" |
| [03:41.76] | "Don't tell me 'bout everything you had to go through" |
| [03:44.60] | "There's reasons for my actions even if I never showed you" |
| [03:47.29] | "Kept tryin' wit chu, all you did was hurt me" |
| [03:50.28] | "Still gave you chances to prove that you was worthy" |
| [03:53.23] | "And so I sat wit chu on a train" |
| [03:55.93] | "I asked you for change, you kept callin' me names" |
| [03:58.56] | "Prolly didn't notice, I was a store clerk" |
| [04:01.26] | "You put the gun to me, get money for more work" |
| [04:04.00] | "My child, I know you have it in you to indeed stop" |
| [04:06.83] | "This is not your final calling, just a brief stop" |
| [04:09.83] | "Hope you heed my words and understand" |
