9th Wonder - Better Way lyrics

[Verse 1] In 89 they threw me under the water In the name of the Holy Spirit, Son, and the Father From this day forward I would always have a partner Someone to lean on as the times got harder But as the days got darker I began to question everything I was a part of Why the preacher always driving something so nice And why the leader of the choir ain't got no wife So many things that didn't flow right The ones who loved the most high always be the lowlifes So I expanded on my own route Read The Final Call, saw what Farakah was talking bout When I first quit pork it made my mother shout Did miss pepperoni, yo no doubt But I held strong, I was so devout A little man trying figure it all out [Hook] I pray for love, I pray for peace I pray for you, I pray for me I pray for the living, I pray for the deceased I pray for the people that's living in the streets I pray for my friends, pray for my enemies I pray for free healthcare and clean energy Cause this my prayer, I say it every day I pray for patience while we working towards a better way [Verse 2] Been around the world, traveled many oceans I kept a clear heart and my mind open Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines One with nature, one with the divine Find your god, find your peace Find your truth and your beliefs Weather you believe in God or the tooth fairy Bump Brother Ali or watch Tyler Perry Me, I grew up inside the Baptist church But I still do yoga because I think it works I believe in ancient aliens and in Jesus I believe in helping mother Earth cause she needs us I believe in understanding and tolerance I believe in government without the politics I believe you shouldn't place your faith in one man And remember the creator has a master plan [Hook]
