Saadiq, Raphael - Sinners Prayer Lyrics






Eight millimeters
And microscopes
Fingers on the triggers
Aimed at my dome
They're gunnin' for me
With loaded tongues
Just tryin' to get home
Prodigal son

See I'm not running
I'm in this fight
No I'm not guilty
Hope to move high
Can see my heart is
In the right place
My hands are folded
My knees are bending when I say

God
Help me make it
God
Can we make it
God
When a sinner is praying
God
Will you hear it
God
Help me make it
God
When the sinner is praying
God
Do you still, hear it?
God
Help me make it

Living together
Make war not love
Fighting about money
We ain't got none
Our baby daughter
May not see five
This kind of hurt can't
Be justified

The girl's my bud and seed
With eyes like mine
And I can't wrap my mind
Around You taking love sometimes
I damn you then I quickly
Repent
Everybody's hoping
The end's not the beginning

My hands are folded
I hope you're listening

God
Help me make it
God
Can we make it
God
When the sinner is praying
God
Will you hear it?
God
Help me make it
God
When the sinner is praying
God
Do you still hear it?
God
Help me make it

(Hold On)
Sinners prayer
I'm in the dark
I can't see the light
Sinners prayer
If you could change water to wine
(Hold On)
Sinners prayer
Lord can you answer my prayer this time?
Is anybody out there? (Is anybody out there?)

Hold on
Hold on
This is my prayer for you
Hold on
Hold on
This is my prayer for you

    Nice Meaningful Truthful Song

  25. L.... M....

    Why can't he make songs like Just Me and You or The Blues anymore, I tried hard to enjoy this new cd but I can't like but two songs

    L.... M....

    Lamont M its not the 90s anymore thats y

    L.... M....

    Jae Jones He has a change with the sounds he still is still the greatest Nevada put together we’ve put together he takes his time he does it right if you if you listen to Waze saying listen to the message

    L.... M....

    I was voice texting just doesn’t do what he is saying he’s truly a great writer producer arranger

    L.... M....

    That Was 30 Years Ago....If You Truly Love Him As An Artist Than You Would Know This Album Is A Masterpiece!!!!

  26. W.... O....

    He’s MJ. Listen closely

  27. k.... w....

    The vibe of this entire album is dark (given the painful background) but beautiful, lyrically appropriate for the times and definitely a groove that has been missing in mainstream. I have been a fan since say one..from his days with Toni Tony Tone, as part of the groundbreaking trio Lucy Pearl, and now as this underrated and unsung solo phenomenon. He has always been on my playlist- his soundtrack contributions are rhythmic journeys of love and desire, whereas his solo efforts can be laden with controversy and committment to living your best love (yeah I meant that). Put him in the vocal and production category with Stokely, Rahsaan Patterson, and Kenny Latimore. Now THAT is a supergroup for the Musical Gods.

  28. b.... e....

    Nightshift

  29. s.... b....

    He still sounds amazing....

  30. M.... F....

    I can hear Dawn Robinson on this . We need that LucyPearl.................... ASAP

  31. M.... F....

    Damn Rapheal !!!!!!!

  32. v.... t....

    The always authentic and original Raphael Saadiq.Very Nice sir.

  33. L.... w....

    for some reason i always wanted him and stokely to do an album or a song together that would be so dope 🙆🏽‍♀️

    L.... w....

    La west philly girl i was just talkin about how Raphael and stokley still sound the same after all these years everyone else has completely lost their singing voice how they keep theirs is mystery but yet a blessing however Raphael and stokley are what you call real authentic music a certain kind of uniqueness that not too many artists have yes i strongly agree with you they both should come together and do a collaboration i think it would be great what could go wrong

  34. S.... T....

    I'm loving this!

  35. A.... M....

    Sounds like Prince and MJ mixed

    A.... M....

    I feel that too

  36. S.... M....

    Your talent is like no other... I hear the MJ... Your on a whole other level of consciousness... BLESSED

  37. M.... H....

    Wow!! This is really Good.
    God has never stopped listening.

  38. S.... S....

    Rest in Power to his Brother Jimmy Lee. This album is beautiful. 💔❤

    S.... S....

    jimmy lee rest peace brother little beautiful album great music

  39. S.... F....

    He'll be getting my coins...glad he's back. ❤

  40. A.... G....

    I seen him last night at El Rey in LA.. best concert I’ve seen to date .. 3rd time I’ve seen him .. unbelievable performance.. 😎

    A.... G....

    I was at that show 😁. The artistic presentation of that album in that show felt more like a play than a concert. It was brilliant 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    A.... G....

    TheBaybaynay I agree 💯 ...

    A.... G....

    Saw him there in 02' for Instant Vintage, one of the best shows I've been to.

  41. M.... B....

    Raphael Saadoq, where have you been Sir??? Glad you dropped another album, I thought I would have to press on without your individual flow.... Love you!!!♥️

  42. B.... ....

    The people really need this. When the sinners praying, God, will you here it? Sinners prayer. 🙏🏿

  43. J.... H....

    This song has a cool groove.

  44. P.... P....

    I get a Prince vibe from this.

    I love when artist come with authenticity and not so much a creation based on trends.

    P.... P....

    Pundi Paradox that was his first gig out of high school was playing for him on tour with Shelia E.

  45. C.... G....

    Oh Lawd !!!!!! He’s back..

  46. O.... I....

    I'm moved

  47. W.... A....

    That tv in the video is a way of revealing how distraction(s) from giving more time for spiritual development can be our detriment. I'm guilty of it. If it is not the tv, its the cell phone. I'm amazed at how more at peace my spirit becomes when I incorporate prayer, and meditation on spiritual principles.

    W.... A....

    interesting interpretation, lucky i scroll the comments i suppose ;-]

    W.... A....

    So true #WilliamAllen
