[Chorus: Jay Rush] I swear to tell the truth I swear to never lie I swore to keep it hood until the day I die The praying that I fail The praying that I fall But you can pray all you want it ain't no help for ya'll [Verse 1. Lazy Bone] I'm praying on my mamma, on my grandma Imma live more I swear to keep it real -????????????? (until I'm dead and gone) Imma represent the struggle And Imma stay humble so until everybody rumble But you gotta hustle Imma keep it hood 'til the day I die An I'll make sure it's understood that I never lie I never make a deal with the devil and exchange for my soul The vanity, the sanity for fang that I know They get blind by the bright light, sold by the fast cars Lost in the night life, burned by the bad girl (Ain't this material world, such an infurious world?) But everybody wanna live it And they don't really care what they got to give up to get it The industry's infested with this evil with this spirit That's why this song on radio you'll probably never hear it But I still spit the real [Chorus: Jay Rush] I swear to tell the truth I swear to never lie I swore to keep it hood until the day I die The praying that I fail The praying that I fall But you can pray all you want it ain't no help for ya'll I hope I hope I hope I hope I pray I pray I pray I pray That heaven's got a ghetto and waiting for me I hope I hope I hope I hope I pray I pray I pray I pray That heaven's got a ghetto and waiting for me [Verse 2: Cappadonna] Yo, Imma keep it real with you You ain't building with me then I can't chill with you My mind is on getting that family right The industry don't care about your family life I pray to God that we always keep the family tight Tell the truth never sellin' out for the loop Never lie but I still wanna get high So hooded with it that's how we getting' by Yea, and this deceptional world I'm an exceptional pearl I'm always gonna be street, I always live what I speak And I ain't sayin' that I'm perfect But wickedness can't defeat my spiritual purpose I'm in a God, yo my soul ain't for purchase Hoping that I pray that everything was worth it [Chorus]
