Thurz - Prayer lyrics

[Verse 1: Thurz] I'm just an ordinary man Buck sixty, five-nine how I stand Young dude with an overzealous plan To feed his daughter with some money in his hand And probably put a nice ring on the Mrs My goals, I stare at from a distance It's a canyon between me and a cliff Tryin' to build a bridge just to get over it To the greener gra**, not fall in the pit Of depression, that stress will make you sick Along with the wolves tryin' to blow down your house Broads and n***as the same, they all run they mouth Rabbits get bold, tryin' to call you out Until you rockin' in front of their homies, knock ‘em out Yeah, I did that, but that's not what I'm all about Tryin' to be better today (day), so I pray [Hook & Throughout the song: Cheryl Johnson] Pray...you make it all right Pray...we make it all right (You gotta) Pray! We make it all right! [Verse 2: Thurz] Everybody askin' ‘bout U-N-I Plain and simple: didn't see eye-to-eye I'm sorry to the fans disappointed But I've been walkin' a new road feelin' anointed With precious cargo so I gotta catch the train Gotta get it to the ma**es, dissin' n***as ain't the aim But group business is like being married, with kids

Sacrifice, work ethic to live The life you desire, deserve, the privilege Raise my thoughts like kids, and I grew up I pulled the pin from my brain, time to blow up Me, myself and I, we all woke up And God chose us I see through his eyes, I see where real lies No man should ever piggy back, ain't no free rides And it's more than a quarter or dimes I was writin', and recitin' and lobbyin'--for the dopeness You was out partyin' Even had to compromise the sound But me and CL still held it down But ain't no hard feelings, we all grown man We learn to live, let the regret soak in And when you wring it out, hopefully we can be better today So on my knees, I pray [Hook] [Outro: Thurz, talking] See, every failure, every success--is all a life experience That gets you closer to learning What your individual purpose is, here on this Earth My whole purpose with this riot sh**, is to go against the grain, and inspire I been said f** the ‘cool sh**'. It's all about movin' people. And I just pray that me, and you, can be the best we can, today ‘Nine-Two Crew'! ‘L.A. Riot' sh**
