Day After Day
Laurentius Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go pray go pray
Go pray go pray go pray
Go pray go pray
It's been a long road but it's good to see my family reconnecting
Cases pending got my cousins and me recollecting
Thinking about them old days back in high school that we barely mention
I was too busy cutting class seeing my crew I stayed in detention
Graduation came
I thought my life would stay the same
Friends stepped in and out my life
Sometimes I feel like I'm to blame
Music was my first love if I let her go it'd be a shame
I'm chasing money and my dreams still don't know about the fame
They say that rap won't get you nowhere I'm a strong exception
Caught up in the wrong direction
Money long a long obsession
Feds just did a raid I hope my bros don't get a long correction
Every night I'm on my knees I got to pray for God's protection

If you ain't prayed in a while get on your knees today
Got to thank god that he woke you for another day
I know that sometimes when you look up at the sky it's gray
Them be best times to give it to the Lord above and pray
Cuz he got you in his plans
He been watching over the whole world he got you in his hands
You just gotta ask he looking for someone to give a chance
Walk within his path and you won't ever feel the same romance

My bro can't do too much talking he going in for questions
He don't know who is no more he just needs self acceptance
I got so much pain inside of me I need self repentance
Just wanted independence
How we turn into defendants
Life ain't go as we expected
Got our family so affected
So invested
Jumped inside the waters they was shark infested
Got arrested
Cousin had a meeting with the lead detective
Need a blessing
Praying is the only way to beat depression
When I can I pray to god that he let me in heaven
Strayed a long way from myself I need to see a reverend
By God's grace I'm a live until I'm ninety seven
They can't deny my presence
Steal my essence

If you ain't prayed in a while get on your knees today
Got to thank god that he woke you for another day
I know that sometimes when you look up at the sky it's gray
Them be best times to give it to the Lord above and pray
Cuz he got you in his plans
He been watching over the whole world he got you in his hands
You just gotta ask he's looking for someone to give a chance
Walk within his path and you won't ever feel the same romance

Go pray go pray




Go pray go pray go pray
Go pray go pray
