Lil' Wayne - Pray To The Lord Lyrics






[Chorus:]
Before I sleep
I pray to the lord my soul to keep
And if I shall die before I awake
I pray to the lord, my soul to take
For goodness sake
Before I sleep
I pray to the lord my soul to keep
And if I shall die before I awake
I pray to the lord, my soul to take
For goodness sake

I wrote my will just the other week
And what's funny it was only one sheet
And I know there's only one me
But I hope I am everything my son be
I’m trying to live right stay on the drum beat
But I’m in the fast lane, in the front seat
I wonder will I lose control of the Mazerati
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’ll take over
I feel it approaching but I aint scared.
I made that bed and I should rest in peace.

[Chorus 2x]

Yea and every time I see the sunshine
I drop down and give thanks at least one time
Feeling like I’m living on the frontline
I’m feeling like every second is crunch time
I’ve had breakfast…will I make it to lunchtime?
And I aint 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
I made my bed right so when I do
I should sleep tight and peace I rep

[Chorus 2x]

Bury me a gangsta 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 breathe 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
Shiiit So that’s why I get twisted…So I can’t feel it when it hits 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 2x]

    Let's appreciate Wayne will he's still here🙏🏼

  2. j.... a....

    devil be like why god didn't take him instead 😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂 😇

  3. a.... b....

    I still don’t think Lil Wayne gets the credit he deserves. Countless hits, features, and records. And somehow Young thug was named 21st century most influential artist. The disrespect is real

  4. J.... P....

    "And my moms dont 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 dat."

  25. J.... W....

    2019 this is definitely around when the first Carter came out
    LIL WAYNE changed my life. I was so lost he helped me through homeless times..he helped me when my dad took his life...he helped me get through pain. Being a addict I feel alot for anyone who has been through shit..Wayne is for sure hands down my favorite rapper💪

  26. C.... w....

    It’s crazy that sample clearance, Leaks, and bird man stopping wayne from putting song like this out may have stop wayne from having the best discography of all time. I know they won’t count all the Great songs on his rap sheet when it comes to his legacy but man Wayne will
    Forever be my favorite raper and the greatest in my opinion

  27. R.... F....

    I would pay $9.99 on iTunes for this song right now!

  28. T.... M....

    One of my favorite records.

  32. T.... W....

    Amen 🙏🏾

  33. P.... M....

    Ah man, nothing like doing because you believe. With every other lyric this man writes, these are the ones that will make me not discount him. The other day at church they said Jesus came for the sinners. Few read the old testament, we just generating sinners. In anycase, K-Dot is there with the good news, so is Wayne, by choice. Where His spirit resides, may he be with you.

  34. A.... ....

    Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.” The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life. I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll. He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.

    START YOUR NEW LIFE WITH
    CHRIST

    You can have real, lasting peace today through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Start your four-step journey now!

    Step 1 – God loves you START YOUR NEW LIFE WITH
    CHRIST

    You can have real, lasting peace today through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Start your four-step journey now!

    Step 1 – God loves you and has a plan for you!

    The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, [Jesus Christ], that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Jesus said, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly”—a complete life full of purpose (John 10:10). But here’s the problem:

    Step 2 – Man is sinful and separated from God.

    We have all done, thought or said bad things, which the Bible calls “sin.” The Bible says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). The result of sin is death, spiritual separation from God (Romans 6:23). The good news?

    Step 3 – God sent His Son to die for your sins!

    Jesus died in our place so we could have a relationship with God and be with Him forever. “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). But it didn’t end with His death on the cross. He rose again and still lives! “Christ died for our sins. … He was buried. … He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Jesus is the only way to God. Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me” (John 14:6).

    Step 4 – Would you like to receive God’s forgiveness?

    We can’t earn salvation; we are saved by God’s grace when we have faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. All you have to do is believe you are a sinner, that Christ died for your sins, and ask His forgiveness. Then turn from your sins—that’s called repentance. Jesus Christ knows you and loves you. What matters to Him is the attitude of your heart, your honesty. We suggest praying the following prayer to accept Christ as your Savior:

    "Dear God,
    I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness.
    I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died
    for my sin and that you raised Him to life.
    I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord,
    from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will.
    I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen."




    has a plan for you!

    The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, [Jesus Christ], that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Jesus said, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly”—a complete life full of purpose (John 10:10). But here’s the problem:

    I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord,
    from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will.
    I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen."

    "The Long Run"

    I see blank sheets
    College ruled, looks neat
    Such a parent
    Dotting I's and crossing T's
    They all think we're worth it
    Apparently

    The blocks have the opinion
    Glean more of the vision
    An architect from a prisoner
    Lego stacks to Cathedrals &
    Thanksgiving Dinners
    Build them to be people
    Build us better equal

    This is not a program
    This is not the prequel
    This is not dishonest
    This is not deceitful

    Send the invoice
    Check the passage
    Electronics mean zip
    With no hunters
    With no gatherers

    Series of dots and dashes
    Easy for fingers to slip
    Injure it with penmanship
    Click
    Each letter a good bullet
    26 rounds to the clip
    Strict
    Language, no tricks
    That's English, tight grip,
    Minimized spin.
    MC Hammer in.

    Bleeding out or bleeding in
    It's a heart of gold
    Who guards children
    True before anything is said
    Follow directions, take them to task
    We're too legitimate to quit.

    I retrained the action

    Run out of gas,
    Already walk stranded
    Call when you can
    The voice hits the masses
    You've got to make cents
    Not a penny less.
    Not a penny left.
    Keep it red letter, correct.

    When the world is watching now,
    Dare I speak so boldly
    While the sky is falling down?
    Do I question every aspect
    Do I cite my sources

    "Not only do we request the proof,
    we implore it."

    Whisper when you feel like just staying in, "Am I deserving of myself as a best friend?"

    Stratocaster, pocket lint
    I could learn to play
    Promise more than riffs
    If they'd pay me to sing
    I could earn an honest dollar
    I could try to keep a promise
    Explain to them "why bother."

    Do me the first, do me the solid
    Show them respect, by softly responding
    The things that connect us
    The same things that hurt
    All worth laughing about
    When you are the worst.

    Craft your future
    To every which end
    Leave nothing to rattle
    When they come for your head
    The sleek escape
    Would startle any end.
    But that's just the beginning
    When you've still got your best.

    You can feel like a failure
    You don't have many friends
    You can say it all
    Over and over
    Until then,
    You can lie to yourself
    You can feel like you're dead
    Until then,
    You can make another excuse up just to challenge your chest.
    Blame it on them
    Think of how it should've been

    Reasoning with nevertheless
    Small talk by bigger fish
    Winding up turrets, counting the steps
    Searching for signs
    When it's mostly a guess
    That corridor only curves again
    Voice I remember,
    Fading by gusts
    Trailing away
    Our tendrils of luck.

    Were we halfway there?
    Pretending to feel a draft?
    Squinting into the timid flicker
    Too stubborn to turn back?
    Losing wit with patience
    Can't climb steps any quicker.

    Could this castle
    Be just the same?
    Was it made of sand?
    Like a wave
    Like a memory
    Like a blink.
    Like a gaze.

    Two different things
    Still no mention
    Of the beautiful day
    Where words are worlds
    Not our way to mean.

    Imagining leads to silly
    Discover how that seems
    The message is important
    Get serious, don't leave.

    Rake it all up into a pile
    Maybe you don't dive in
    But when you see that second glint
    You've taken some time to think.
    If every leaf, a figurine.
    So many I could choose to be.
    I could jump, I could jump right in and mess up this pile of freshly raked leaves.

    Jeeze, myself, making more work for me.

    Halfway up or just half past?
    Did you lose your cool?
    Ignite the fire fast?

    Are you less lost?
    Can you even fold a map?
    Are you walking across the grass,
    just to make your neighbors mad?
    Is this really all that bad?
    Sometimes, simple just feels so sad.

    You call yourself a failure
    You don't feel like you're winning
    You want a pinch hitter
    But can't keep a record spinning
    You step up to the plate
    More sitting than you're living
    Make up something quick
    You're the giver, get to giving.

    You don't have anything to prove
    You just protect yourself from you.
    Let them paint with the colors they have.
    Subdued
    When the weather is bad, plan to wear a jacket, please lace up your boots and please double knot your shoes.
    They will say that you're crazy
    But we know you,
    When you show up in the snow
    Shivering because you misplaced your coat.
    You were early to the job.
    You put yourself on hold.
    Trying to imagine, a new way home.

    That is the action they will either recogonize or they won't.

    The long run,
    Until I am old.
    Our colors,
    Warmth in the cold.
