Lyrics The Prayer - Toke Wright

Yeah, so just uh, keep going
And uh, Imma come back on the second one
Uh, you can do all that chanting stuff
Uh, that's fine and everything
But, uh, I normally just have like a conversation
You know what I'm saying
So, uh, I'm just going to go ahead and do it
Look

God, truthfully sometimes I have a dark mind
I need you by my side to help me get through hard times
I see these rappers blowing up and I'm like what the heck
Kicking all these fast flows 'til I run out of breath
Can't help the fact that I got a lot of stuff to say
Besides that
It seems like if I don't rap fast they stray
Most don't listen to the words
They care about how I'm flowing
Got friends that fell away from you and see that they're not growing
I'm lying if I said I didn't have my disbeliefs
At times it hard to put all my faith in the unseen
The Bibles written by man
Yes, of course
It's evident
So what would we think now if there was a new New Testament
By someone claiming that every single word of his is heaven sent
Probably throw him in a psych ward
Wonder what he's peddling
Make him take his medicine and shoot him up with sedatives
Saying this 'cause lately my thoughts haven't been so excellent
I still believe in You
I just wish I had more evidence

It's like
I don't know
It's like
I don't know I'm just
I just feel lost you know
But I'm here so

Forgive me for my disbeliefs. Help me have more faith
You help me walk on water and I know you keep me safe
I doubt my doubts
I know that you will help me win this race
Said help so many times, but that just shows I need your grace
Man, I've been going through it
Look, I can't even pray
I'm like

Ugh, yo, alright
Imma keep going
Look

I pray that I would drop my will and focus on Yours
Please give me patience while I wait for open doors
I'm seeking The Holy Spirit, Father and Jesus Christ
I know that You're the only Way, The Truth and The Life
It's obvious I'm a mess
That's why I need You
I'm wanting sensitivity in everything I do
You're full of miracles
There's healing in Your name
So I ask that You would come clear me of any stains
I've done so much against Your name
But I'm asking for forgiveness
Now I guess I'll eat or sleep
That's usually how I end this
Suppose we'll talk again next time I'm in repentence

I scream 'cause I can't stop staring at a screen
Seeing all these things that I dream
But it's not love
All the money, drugs, lust
I can't trust in that stuff
Imma just look above

Sorry, man
You know what
I know who I can pray for
