Lyrics I Pray I Make It - Kony Brooks

As I lay me down to sleep
I pray I get my soul to keep
I pray I'm never weak
I pray they keep me banging in they jeeps and feel this fire when it's underneath they feet
I pray I make it
I pray I never feel defeat
Guide me when I'm walking in these streets
I know that I'm elite I pray you keep me focused on the prize
Feed my family with this gift while I'm alive
I pray I make it

Father forgive us if we rather particular
Specifics of the pain made me grab up a nigga
Want to shake him because we can't shake this feeling of inferior
Hopping on the train with cocaine scent interior
Inhaling death for fear of intellect to interject
In conversation small talk with giants if I intercept
The key to make it out this rabbit-hole so we can live again
I'm going for the gold so we can benefit
Fighting for my people why not I'm still a warrior
Turn the front page to the story of the glorious
Home bred foreigner object of the coroner
Hoodie low waiting for Lucifer out in Florida
Soul of a system built for us to lose
Pick up my pen and vow to make it I won't make you choose
Praying for survival we require like an April Fool
Trapped inside the binds of my desire just to make you move
Race

As I lay me down to sleep
I pray I get my soul to keep
I pray I'm never weak
I pray they keep me banging in they jeeps and feel this fire when it's underneath they feet
I pray I make it
I pray I never feel defeat
Guide me when I'm walking in these streets
I know that I'm elite I pray you keep me focused on the prize
Feed my family with this gift while I'm alive
I pray I make it

My mama made me for greatness so I'm allergic to the fakeness
Pops geared me for war so on the line I'm going ape shit
Had to roam around and get my confidence back
Because a couple years ago this would've been an empty statement
You treat me like the savior all the pressure on my back
Tryna reach a generation with this clever shit I rap
Until I bomb like its Iraq now it's the mirror with the pieces
Tryna pick em up while they out here moving with they strap
They screaming no cap but ain't no gown either
After he caught a charge for that weapon and was the ringleader
His hood loved him but his soul destroyed
Was preaching product of the ghetto with metal now he the poster boy
I'm fighting just to break a cycle
Running a race cuz I was made just like you I was the main disciple
But niggas said I had a chance and told me not to blow it
Now I'm grateful for my chance to show it
Race

As I lay me down to sleep
I pray I get my soul to keep
I pray I'm never weak
I pray they keep me banging in they jeeps and feel this fire when it's underneath they feet
I pray I make it
I pray I never feel defeat
Guide me when I'm walking in these streets
I know that I'm elite I pray you keep me focused on the prize
Feed my family with this gift while I'm alive
I pray I make it
