I got em, lets go
Like i dropped straight from heaven

but this is how I live, so that's how I'll die,
and do not close my eyes, so when you see me in the
casket ima look right back at ya,
cuz I don't trust money y'all,
and fuck every one of y'all,
cuz which one of y'all wanna brawl?
and ova ball ii got that pistol under every one of
my garments, torment, torture,
tragedy, catastrophe,no battery just murder in the
coldest temperature, and I mean third degree,
even if motherfucker never heard of me,
I ain't gonna let you motherfuckers worry me,
and tell that beef I'm burger king,
I represent that saint's sign,
I'm so high I can paint signs,
and if she ain't fine, she ain't mine,
and thank god that I;m alive and if he end it all today,
I have nothing more that I can say. Amen.
Lets pray, ten fingers, together for forever
Lets pray, together, forever, forever

my waist within arm's reach,

of death, forgive me Lord I had to carry my check,
I touch cash and get cheese,

I'm suited up, daddy was a hustla,
mommy was a christian, momma said prayers daddy started
cookin chicken, if I'm living life wrong I don't wanna
be right, send me blessings to the cloud,
hope I make it through the night,
yea Lord as you lay me down to sleep,
I pray to the Lord my soul to keep,
if I shall die before I wake,
then I pray to the Lord my soul to take,
there shall be no other god before thee,
Lord please forgive me of my sins if I owe thee,
slowly, I know I should not kill but I will,
if someone try to shoot me and lay me still,
though I'm so sorry for the wrong thing's that I've
done, just the end of my prayer we all say amen.
Lets pray, ten fingers together for forever
Lets pray, together, forever, forever
Dear God, as I begin this day,
my thought turn to you, and I ask for your help and
guidance in everything I say and do,
give me the patience that I need to keep my peace of
mind, and with life's cares,
I hope dear God, some happiness to find,
let me live but for today,
not worrying what's ahead,
for I have trust that you will see I get my daily bread,
give me the courage to face life's trials and not from
troubles run, and let me keep this thought in mind
"Thy will, not mine, be done.
" And if some wish I do not get though I have prayed
to thee, please help me to believe and understand you
know what's best for me. I've failed you many times,




I know, but tonight when I rest,
I hope that I can say, "Dear God, I've tried my best."

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Juelz Santana/Lil Wayne's song "Let's Pray" are about seeking protection from God even if one has done wrong in the past. The lyrics convey the idea that regardless of one's life choices, God's mercy and protection is for everyone who seeks it. The opening lines insinuate that the singer has the skills and the confidence to face any obstacle while also acknowledging the loss of a loved one named Lil Kevin. The singer then shares that while their life choices may not be perfect, they will face their end with eyes open, without any regrets.


The singers also address their distrust of money, and their readiness to fight anyone who provokes them. The lyrics also address the idea that violence follows those who live a certain lifestyle, and it's their reality. The singer acknowledges the fact that they carry a gun with them everywhere they go in case of danger, and they will not let their enemies get the best of them.


The song changes direction in the second verse, where the singers show repentance for their wrongs and ask for forgiveness. They pray to God that they don't end up in hell and ask for protection from their enemies. They speak about their family life, mentioning a father who was a hustler and a mother who was religious. They express their fear of death and hope to make it through the night. The second verse embodies the message of the song that no matter what kind of life one lives, there is always a chance for redemption and a better life through prayer.
