Drop down to my knees I say my prayers and hit the road
I ain't need a deal for me to feel like I was on
Feel like I'm in my prime ain't even thirty years old
Im with it I get it I did it fa sho
Drop down to my knees I say my prayers and hit the road
I ain't need a deal for me to feel like I was on
Feel like I'm in my prime ain't even thirty years old
I'm with it I get it I did it okay
I joke alot but when it comes down to my future I don't play
Why would I pay yall attention yall attention doesn't pay
Investment talk to me that's just another day
Another way another plate
Before I ate I said my grace in front a hater I ain't phased
You still waiting on a raise ain't no need for me to race
I don't even need a place you can see it in my face
I ain't stopping yall ain't nothing I'm hieroglyphics right and rocking
Pyrotechnics mind be sparking fired up ain't fired often
Think I got another offer this like clockwork
Tell me what you need from me
I got it wrapped up easily, easily
I'm with it I get it I did it fa sho
Drop down to my knees I say my prayers and hit the road
I ain't need a deal for me to feel like I was on
Feel like I'm in my prime ain't even thirty years old
I'm with it I get it I did it fa sho
Drop down to my knees I say my prayers and hit the road
I ain't need a deal for me to feel like I was on
Feel like I'm in my prime ain't even thirty years old
Feel like I'm in my prime but I know that isnt right
Cuz I'm turning twenty-nine I'm just ahead of my time
If you look up the statistics average age is forty-five
Where you think I'll be at that age if I'm steady on my grind
Keep your head on straight think for yourself fuck what they talking bout
Cut anybody off thats in your way they just gon hold you down
Don't wait on anybody cuz it ain't on them to walk your route
They can't show they work but acting like they got it figured out
Those of us who getting it can tell who really isn't lit
Put they stats against mine I can show you what the difference is
Been up so long I'm sick of the top Hannah with the syphilis
Ain't getting legal money you can't tell me what the business is
I'm with it I get it I did it fa sho
Drop down to my knees I say my prayers and hit the road
I ain't need a deal for me to feel like I was on
Feel like I'm in my prime ain't even thirty years old
I'm with it I get it I did it fa sho
Drop down to my knees I say my prayers and hit the road
I ain't need a deal for me to feel like I was on
Feel like I'm in my prime ain't even thirty years old
I'm with it I get it I did it fa sho
Drop down to my knees I say my prayers and hit the road
I ain't need a deal for me to feel like I was on
Feel like I'm in my prime ain't even thirty years old
I'm with it I get it I did it fa sho
I'm with it I get it I did it fa sho
I'm with it I get it I did it fa sho
Feel like I'm in my prime ain't even thirty years old
The song "Hear My Prayer" by E. Dewey Smith Jr. is a powerful plea for the return of a lost love set to the backdrop of a church choir singing "Ave Maria" and "Hallelujah." The singer sings along with the choir, pouring his heart out and sending a "special prayer" up to heaven. The lyrics are a blend of religious and romantic themes, as the singer begs for his lover's return with the intensity of a worshipper praying for salvation.
The repetition of the phrase "singing with all my heart" emphasizes the emotional depth of the singer's plea. He is not just passively listening to the choir, but actively participating in the music as a way of expressing his love and pain. The use of specific religious imagery, such as "Ave Maria" and "hallelujah," adds a sense of gravitas to the singer's words and underscores the importance of his request.
The final lines of the song, "And I'll wait, here for the answer / That you'll come back, come back I pray," express both hope and desperation. The singer is willing to wait as long as it takes for his prayer to be answered, but he is also aware that every moment without his lover is a struggle. The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the singer still waiting and hoping for a miracle.
