Momma's Prayers
JP Cooper & Stormzy Lyrics

Many things you pulled me through and I wouldn't even know
You've faced so many challenges without my knowledge, but somehow you always made it through.

There's an army that walks with me when I step out on that road
I feel like I have a whole team supporting me every time I take a step forward in my journey.

You ask them every day to accompany me on my way
You pray every day that I have the strength and guidance to face whatever comes my way.

Woah, you never forget to ask, you got books full of prayers
You're always praying for me and keeping notes so you don't miss a single day.

And if I fall, what if I fall?
Even if I stumble or fail along the way...

These hands will catch it all
...you will always be there to catch me and help me get back up.

Yo, them brothers came 'round to the block and tried to spray us
Gang members came to our neighborhood and attacked us with guns.

Demons of the night, they came alive and tried to slay us
It was like something out of a horror movie, they were trying to kill us.

Whilst I was in my boxers playing COD and San Andreas
While I was distracted and not paying attention, you were praying for our safety.

I think I owe it all to mommy's prayers
I credit my survival and success to your unwavering faith and devotion.

I will remember in December when they never tried to play us
I won't forget the times when we were safe from harm and danger.

And tryna hit the charts without the radio is chaos
Trying to be successful in the music industry without radio airplay is extremely difficult.

And mommy sat me down and told me they could never stray us
You always reminded me that no matter what, we wouldn't be led astray from our faith and values.

I know those hands will catch it all
No matter what challenges I face, I know your prayers will always provide me with a safety net.

I've been stabbed bare times but they couldn't see the chaos
I've been physically attacked multiple times, but you kept me centered and focused despite the chaos.

Had a brother in the news, yeah, I see how they portray us
My brother was in the media and people unfairly judged and criticized our family.

But when I have kids, and they ever disobey us
If I have children who defy us...

I'ma warn 'em about the power of their grandmother's prayers, yo
...I'll make sure they understand the strength and significance of your prayers and faith.

Momma's prayers they guide me
Your constant prayers and guidance help me navigate life's challenges with confidence and grace.

I know I'll be just fine
I have faith that with your prayers and support, I will always overcome whatever comes my way.

This little light of mine
My inner strength and resilience may be small, but it shines brightly because of your prayers.

I know those hands will catch it all
I trust that your prayers will provide a safety net for me no matter what life throws my way.
