Yea
I ain't never need no new friends, still got the same niggas around me
It's crazy how some niggas love me now but they was doubting
I know they love to hate me, tryna say I ain't gone make it
Ain't nothing been given so I'm a take it
Told myself that I'm a give it all I got until I can't
I been moving different, tryna stay away from all the fake
I been praying for my future hoping millions in my fate
Know my nana in the trenches tryna get her out the state
I ain't tripping cause my time coming
I been chasing love tryna find something
Kinda hard cause I know I ain't living right
Drugs keep my mind running
Bought a quarter pound it cost me five hundred
Wondering if I'm a smoke it through the night
I be thinking bout all my niggas, I know some dead and gone
I don't need to vent to nobody I put my pain in songs
I know how it feel to be misunderstood
Wanna bring my dawg back shit I wish I could
I been praying for forgiveness, I been praying for my mother
I been praying for my niggas, I been praying for my brothers
I been praying for my aunties, I been praying for my uncles
I been praying for my father, all we got now is each other
I been praying for my granny's, hoping they can see me farther
I been praying for my haters, they the reason I go harder
I been praying for some lightness hope it take me out the darker
I been praying for my life just want success before I'm under, yea
I made a promise to my uncle got your kids forever
Told my brother that I got your daughter yea this shit forever
Told my niggas we in this for life man yea this shit forever
Said this ain't no one man army let's get paid together
So cold I can change the weather
Told her I ain't no perfect type of nigga, all I ask that you accept for who I am
Uh, I been going crazy, shawdy think that I'm a snake my own man for her
That ain't even who I am shawdy
We is not the same
I'm a stand up for what I stand on
How you say you real you so selfish to put your man on
Did everything for you, you turned your back and know you dead wrong
I can't complain it is what it is I keep my head on straight
Tryna come back to me but it's too late
Can't finesse a finesser baby you trippin tryna fool me
How the hell you tryna judge me off the internet and you ain't never knew me
Swear to God I be thinking that they foolish
I been praying for forgiveness, I been praying for my mother
I been praying for my niggas, I been praying for my brothers
I been praying for my aunties, I been praying for my uncles
I been praying for my father, all we got now is each other
I been praying for my granny's, hoping they can see me farther
I been praying for my haters, they the reason I go harder




I been praying for some lightness hope it take me out the darker
I been praying for my life just want success before I'm under, yea
