Praying To The Sky
Lil Peep Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know it's fucked when the pain feel nice
Cheap liquor on ice, nice
I'm tryna get you out my head tonight (tonight)
I'm tryna get you out my fuckin' life (fuckin' life, right)
Then we fucked, then she sucked me off twice
Then I left that bitch alone like I was right, fuckin' right (wrong)
In your thong, smokin' strong outta bong
What the fuck, and I'm tryna make this song (hey, hey)
Young white prick, I get a kick out hittin' licks
Watch out I kick out yo bitch, just so I could cut my wrist
Bitch, I'm tatted out my shirt so I can't work, I make it flip
Pour my forty in the dirt, then light my dutch and take a sip
I hear voices in my head, they tellin' me to call it quits
I found some Xanax in my bed, I took that shit, went back to sleep
They gon' miss me when I'm dead, I lay my head and rest in peace
I'm prayin' to the sky, I don't even know why, man

Oh, I don't think I can take this anymore
No, I shed the blood from my wrist on the floor
Oh, fuck is you talkin' 'bout? My shit is dope
Play this shit when they put me in a hole
For eternity, so they can reap what they sow
Oh, I don't think I can do nothin' but flow
No, I don't know what she be fuckin' me for
Oh, I don't know why you in love with me, ho
I keep amphetamines up in my coat
I'm in the zone, I'm all on my own

You know it's fucked when the pain feel nice
Cheap liquor on ice, nice
I'm tryna get you out my head tonight (tonight)
I'm tryna get you out my fuckin' life (fuckin' life, right)
Then we fucked, then she sucked me off twice
Then I left that bitch alone like I was right, fuckin' right (wrong)
In your thong, smokin' strong outta bong
What the fuck, and I'm tryna make this song (hey, hey)
Young white prick, I get a kick out hittin' licks
Watch how I kick out yo bitch, just so I could cut my wrist
Bitch, I'm tatted out my shirt so I can't work, I make it flip
Pour my forty in the dirt then light my dutch and take a sip
I hear voices in my head, they tellin' me to call it quits
I found some Xanax in my bed, I took that shit, went back to sleep




They gon' miss me when I'm dead, I lay my head and rest in peace
I'm prayin' to the sky, I don't even know why, man

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lil Peep's "Praying To The Sky" are dark, explicit, and vivid. They speak of the artist's struggles with mental illness, addiction, and toxic relationships with women. The opening lines, "You know it's fucked when the pain feel nice, Cheap liquor on ice, nice," suggest that Lil Peep is numbing himself to the pain by getting drunk. He then goes on to describe a sexual encounter with a woman, but reveals that he only used her for pleasure and then discarded her. He talks about his addiction to drugs, especially Xanax, which he found in his bed and took before going back to sleep.


The chorus, "Oh, I don't think I can take this anymore, No, I shed the blood from my wrist on the floor, Oh, fuck is you talkin' 'bout? My shit is dope, Play this shit when they put me in a hole For eternity, so they can reap what they sow," is a reference to Lil Peep's struggles with self-harm and suicide. He reveals that he is at a breaking point, unable to cope with his pain anymore. However, he acknowledges that his music will live on even after his death, and his critics will see how much of a impact he made on the world.


Overall, "Praying To The Sky" is introspective and vulnerable. It showcases Lil Peep's raw talent as a songwriter and paints a picture of his complicated, tormented soul.
