SWAY IV - I Pray

I done lost plenty of partners, so lord I pray
I done lost plenty of friends, so lord I pray
I got plenty of problems, so lord I pray
That me and my dawgs make it out the hood someday
I done lost plenty of partners, so lord I pray
I done lost plenty of friends, so lord I pray
I got plenty of problems, so lord I pray
That me and my dawgs make it out the hood someday

I pray my dawg get out of prison and be with his child forever
Though we aint talk on the phone in a long time
I just want you to know that I love you
I mean ain't nothing changed, ain't nothing sweet
But we gotta move better
We OG's in the street now, at 33 that mean we a veteran
We got patch on our arm, we got tats on our arm
Swear to god we got another story to tell
You gotta move smarter, you got a little daughter
I know you promise her you ain't going to jail
You hit me during the late hours on the phone
Probably send my homie mail
Keep a hundred with me cause I do it
Cause you know one thing I ain't never tell
If you need canteen money, books to read
It don't matter dawg, you know I got that
You too old to be on the block kid
When you free I'ma show you where them stocks at
I know your back against the wall, but it ain't gotta be
You a prisoner of war, but you're mind free
You a real ass nigga, let your time be
I know some homies let you down, don't remind me

I done lost plenty of partners, so lord I pray
I done lost plenty of friends, so lord I pray
I got plenty of problems, so lord I pray
That me and my dawgs make it out the hood someday
I done lost plenty of partners, so lord I pray
I done lost plenty of friends, so lord I pray
I got plenty of problems, so lord I pray
That me and my dawgs make it out the hood someday

Shaq, I tried to be your big brother,
But you my lil' cousin, know you heaven-sent
The homies took you out, couldn't see it, couldn't believe it
Dawg, tell me what the fuck happened
I thought my street receipt was good
Thought niggas respect me, thought I'd get you by
I guess it was some young niggas who don't respect niggas from the same side
And it's sad as hell, cause you got a daughter
And your momma strong and she gon' support her
I guess these young homies got a new order
But you ain't a real nigga if a fool taught ya
My homie G took nine to the spine and still walking, wish it been you
And I don't even dang trust nigga
Oh fuck niggas, I want a clear view
I know some hoes who really like niggas who be running around on that snake tip
A real nigga til' the death of me
You can't tell me I be on some fake shit
I don't even know how to act, I keep it 100 that's facts
I'm a big role model for the real homies who get it like that

I done lost plenty of partners, so lord I pray
I done lost plenty of friends, so lord I pray
I got plenty of problems, so lord I pray
That me and my dawgs make it out the hood someday
I done lost plenty of partners, so lord I pray
I done lost plenty of friends, so lord I pray
I got plenty of problems, so lord I pray
That me and my dawgs make it out the hood someday
