Featuring Big K.R.I.T. and Ashthon Jones Verse 1 (Big Crit): Awakened from my slumber by the thunder, lightning clappin'___ Rainin' on my window pane and praying I make something happen A preacher's prophecies never bothered me when I was younger Sittin' on my grandma's lap, and she cried, I often wondered What was her tears for? Could it be for my grandfather? Or maybe she felt for me cuz I'd see more of those cold tomorrows Than she'd see. The world would up and turn on me Cuz the morals that she often spoke were meant for 1923 I fall asleep off in her arms, a psalm was spoken The Lord is surely my shepherd and lead me to the water A thought that often stuck with me, amongst the wolves that run the streets Out here payin' dues then lose, I pray your ways would comfort me A non-believer I never have and never could be Lord, give me time to peep the signs I should see Sippin' got me feelin' like a player Ridin' clean, bendin' corners, hopin' I might find my savior On the curb, I rarely go to church False prophets rockin' Prada so I rarely feel the Word Jezebel's lurkin' in the pews on the first Preacher's weaker than the deacon cuz it's hard to fight the urge It's hard to live and serve when you on the Devil's turf Sell your soul for the loan with no sense of what it's worth Don't get it twisted, I ain't no saint, I ain't no pastor SongtexteBut prayin' ain't just for cloudy days and natural disasters Aware of what comes after, bet you ain't fo' sho' I was warned that heaven ain't the only place to go I'm doin' what I can cuz there really ain't much time I leave dis in the Lord' hands, I'm tired of cryin' Hook: Man down! Hopin', prayin', sayin' I can't turn Back now! He will find you, this world'll blind you, don't you be another Man down! Hopin', prayin', sayin' you can't turn Back now! Help is just one prayer away Don't be afraid to say, Mayday! Verse 2 (Lecrae): Father forgive us for we know not what we do In my bias, I've been pious with my nose up in the pews Like Paul, I bear good news; they think I'm pall-bearin' My message sounds like death to these hearers as they perish Scary to think we on the brink of death But no one stops look for answers on what happens next Got a couple scriptures from our grandma, sayings from a preacher But can't live out these standards that we heard it takes to reach em But when I look at Jesus, He lived the life I couldn't Suffered for my crimes so I wouldn't I used to have to sneak into the movies cause I couldn't ford to pay So splain to me how some one paid my way When hear Krit confessin' I respect him Cause most of us be lying like our lives don't need perfectin' Nothin' that we muster, Nothin' that we can change Admitting that we're imperfect, offendin' God with our games Look, I'm just being honest so don't take for me for no lame I seen it fo' myself; I'm a product of this thang Now I found true religion, and it's not inside of denim And them overpriced shades has never given us vision [Hook] Aus Songtexte Mania
