Various Artists - Pray 4 My City lyrics

[Intro] This is an emergency, this is an emergency [Verse 1] Police sirens, everyday People dyin', everyday Mamas cryin', everyday Fathers tryin', everyday Tryin' to get my head straight This the city of Chi-Raq, get your bed made See d**h around the corner, boy I dodge him like I owe 'em I don't talk if I don't know 'em n***as plottin' n***as on me Boy, I lost homies Some died, some crossed on me I love the n***as that's down for me f** the ones that sent shots on me, yeah If the bill's late, they rob you just to get the bills paid n***as workin' for a payout Everyday lookin' for a way out Get released from jail and try to stay out Pray to God, see how it play out But maybe God tryin' to test me This life that I'm livin' so stressful In one second I'mma let loose And everybody in here gonna catch it Cause right now I can't take it Lord, when I'm gonna make it? Cause this Chi-Raq and my city lost I can't fall victim to Satan Please pray for my city, hurry up [Hook] Please pray for my city Too much hate in my city Too many heartaches in my city But I got faith in my city This Chi-Raq and I love that You can't take it away from my city Some can't relate to my city They die everyday in my city [Verse 2] Real talk, I lost plenty But I'm still out here gettin' it On the block with my brothers Tryin' to eat cause we all hungry Walkin' up the wrong block and get ya hit up That's why I gotta keep somethin' on me Can't trust none, can't feed him, he ain't done nothin' I hustle hard for my loved ones Some wasn't and some was, but I don't judge Go hard for my city, cause my city got it They ain't wanna see my city have it I ain't have it so I went and got it They talk down on my city but my city matter [Hook] (x2) Please pray for my city Too much hate in my city Too many heartaches in my city But I got faith in my city This Chi-Raq and I love that You can't take it away from my city Some can't relate to my city They die everyday in my city, yeah [Outro] I'm from that city where forties get clapped This story of fact n***as can't shoot so babies get whacked That's how it is in Chi-Raq And y'all mad cause I don't call it Chicago But I don't live in no f**in' Chicago, boy I live in Chi-Raq Chi-Raq, Chi-Raq, Chi-Raq Boy I live in Chi-Raq
