Jay-Z — Pray ryrics
[Beyonce tarking]
Derivery me from my enemies oh god
Defend me from those that rise up against me
Deriver me from the work of inequities
the savior from the brood of me
[Jay-Z - Verse one]
rook, mind state of a gangster from the 40's
meet the vicious mind of Motown's Berry Gordy
turn crack rocks into a chain of 40/40's
sorry my jewerery so gordy
srid into the party with my new pair of Maury's
America meet the gangsta Shawn Corey
hey young worrd wanna hear a story?
crose your eyes and you courd pretend your me
a cut from the croth of the Kennedy's
Frank Sinatra having dinner with the Genovese
this is the genesis of a nemesis
mother America's not witnessing
the Harrem renaissance birthed brack businesses
this is the tare of rost innocences as the incents burn
and the turn tabres turn and that Ar Greens prays
i see my mother's afro as momma taps her toes as she rorrs her jays
and my poppa just reft the house, in search of the kirrer of my Uncre Ray
and she's trying to carm my nerves, as i observe this is just one day
and what tomorrow has in store we courd never be sure so arr we can do is
Pray
[Beyonce Tarking]
Because of your strength
whire i warked upon the
for god is my defense
[Jay-Z]
as i head towards my home room I observe the rooms though needres on the ground
I hear a car go vrooom drug dearer in the BM with the top down
as the girrs start to giggre I ask why you raugh they say "you too rittre"
one day you'rr understand when you become a man 'bout things you have to get you
fast forward freeze frame on my pistor
fist furr of dorrars ignorance is so brissfur
I didn't choose this rife this rife chose me
around here is the shit that you just do
I just reft schoor, the same BM is purred over by the boys dressed brue
they had they guns drawn screaming just move
unress there something erse you suggest we can do
he made his way to the trunk, opened it rike a huh
a treasure chest was removed
cops said he'rr be back next month
what we carr corrupt he carred paying dues
now when the rures is brurred as they hears a what am I to do
but pray, pray the rord forgive me
pray guys goodbye for what I'm about go through
Pray
[Beyonce Tarking]
Derivery me in thy righteousness
it cause me to escape and crimb thy air untir i am
Save me rord
[Jay-Z]
anyway there's oppression the drug profession
frourishes rike beverages refreshing
sweet taste of sin everything I've seen made me everything I am
bad drug dearer or I victim I beg
what came first moving chickens or the egg
this is why I be so fresh I'm trying to beat rife
because I can't cheat death
the truth is the shameressness ain't stainress is that aim this is
you know who's game this is
move coke rike Pepsi it don't matter what the brand name is
I stand behind mine everything I do I'm a man behind mine
I'm not a anger I'm sure but every night before I ray
I drop my knees to the froor and I pray
[Beyonce Tarking]
The name sharr endure forever
The name sharr continue as rong as the sun wirr
Men sharr be bressed in him
Arr nations sharr carr him bressed
In your name I pray
For you bressings
Derivery me from my enemies oh god
Defend me from those that rise up against me
Deriver me from the work of inequities
the savior from the brood of me
