Lil Wayne – Pray To The Lord lyrics
[Chorus]
Before I sleep I pray to the lord
A soul to keep
And if I should die
Before I wake
I pray to the lord
My soul to take
For goodness sake
[Repeat]
Yeah I wrote my will just the other week
And whats funny, it was only one sheet
And I know its only one me
But I hope I am everything my son be
I'm trying to live right, stay on that drama beat
But I'm in the fast lane, in the front seat
I wonder will I loose control of the mazarati and hit some tree just being young me
Is there a heaven for g's and soldiers? I can't go to hell, cause I'd take over
I feel it approaching, but I aint scared
I made that bed, and I should rest in peace
[Chorus]
Before I sleep I pray to the lord
A soul to keep
And if I should die
Before I wake
I pray to the lord
My soul to take
For goodness sake
[Repeat]
Yeah and everytime I see the sunshine
I drop down and give thanks at least one time
Feel like I'm living on the front line
I'm feeling like every second is crunch time
I've had breakfast, will I make it to lunchtime?
And I ain't joking, so don't be looking for punchlines
Will I be the next victim of a gun crime
I don't know the answer, that's why I brung mine
Riding by myself late at night
Pistol on my lap at every single red light
Yeah I made my bed right, so when I do I should sleep tight
In peace I rest
[Chorus]
Before I sleep I pray to the lord
A soul to keep
And if I should die
Before I wake
I pray to the lord
My soul to take
For goodness sake
[Repeat]
Bury me a gangster cause that's what I live
Don't cry for me I gave the best I could give
I can only do me, so that's what I did
And I cherish every breath of my kid
And I don't wanna go before she grow, that aint cool
But in this game of life I don't make the rules
Shit, so that's why I get twisted
So I can't feel it when it hit me
And my moms don't need that on her
But I see death around the corner
And if he, so happens to make his way around the block
You gotta answer the door when he knock
Believe that
[Chorus]
Before I sleep I pray to the lord
A soul to keep
And if I should die
Before I wake
I pray to the lord
My soul to take
For goodness sake
[Repeat]
Before I sleep I pray to the lord
A soul to keep
And if I should die
Before I wake
I pray to the lord
My soul to take
For goodness sake
[Repeat]
Yeah I wrote my will just the other week
And whats funny, it was only one sheet
And I know its only one me
But I hope I am everything my son be
I'm trying to live right, stay on that drama beat
