O'hene Savant - Say A Prayer lyrics

(Aretha Franklin sample: Say a little prayer for you) Verse 1: The year is 20-05 but we gotta get money no job It's looking to me like only the rich'll survive You a little cat if you in the middle cla** And everyone in poverty drown or die Now it's time to pick up the faith And believe in the king or a boundless god Clown this guy, in the Oval Office Speaking the peace with a violent eye Nonbelievers, Condoleezzas, [?] speeches The lies increases, give us Jesus No [?] go to Iraq but no gay marriage Somebody anybody everybody look I don't really really wanna get a gun so Bush I'ma (Say a little prayer for you) And your family too, while living in your own city it's a pity DC streets look gritty like Philly Silly of me to believe in a dream in a place [?] where they race for the cream First the Pilgrims raped and k**ed ‘em Elders mothers fathers children Our buildings is tumbling down One of us got to say something now Up and down round we go maybe not then but now we know How we shows and how we vote Then again we voted now he gloats Most chose hopes, folks, this is the web we wove so I'ma (Say a little prayer for you) How can we deny? This System is a lie and We cannot survive just Keeping hope alive, live Things have got to change if We got to remain in [?] pain is what we have to gain, gain History repeats so What you sow you reap so If our seeds are evil What will be our grain, grain? We must learn to [?] We must learn to ask, ask I promise to (Say a little prayer for you) Verse 2: We almost out of time, we at war with Viacom And the corporate structure's bottom line Sign the dotted line if you tryin' to shine You gotta sign if you wanna wine and dine With the celebrity cats on the TV screen You don't wanna be a wannabe you need be seen The popular people always win But I know popular people always rent If not gotta be spending the very last cent On a Bentley a Benz with the tint and the rims Gotta spend if it don't you ain't in You ain't multiplatinum like Eminem so Somebody anybody everybody please I don't wanna see you get rid of your g's homies I'ma (Say a little prayer for you) And your label too, playing you It don't make no sense You don't make no dollars it make no cents While masters owning your masters only you rappers Ain't learn from the past ‘cause that's been stupid, stupid You make music to get two cents off an album, how come? You poor and sold thousands Count them I'll get your accountant We'll see where they're gagging you Then you know why I chose this avenue To be disciplined like a Catholic school When the [?] truth like a Baptist too Half of you wanna rap the truth Other half of you wanna rap for loot, I'll (Say a little prayer for you) How can we deny? This System is a lie and We cannot survive just Keeping hope alive, live Things have got to change if We got to remain in [?] pain is what we have to gain, gain History repeats so What you sow you reap so If our seeds are evil What will be our grain, grain? We must learn to [?] We must learn to ask, ask I promise to (Say a little prayer for you)
