Prayer
M. Kansara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I prayed to GOD that's when things changed
On this road that I'm living I don't look for fame
Closest ones told me Green bo you actin strange
Told em im just tryna live don't have time for games
I pray to GOD so I move different
Yea I struggle through this life but im never quittin
Yea I almost lost my life but that bullet miss me
So at times im in my fleeings when I daughter kiss me
And at times I talk to GOD cause I know he hear me
Cause I heard HIM on em late night driving drunk
Almost took my own life but I had a son
Shed plenty tears when I heard that Johnny gone
He gave me vision to help these youngin that wanna live
I hear the mothers cryin out and they shedin tears
To lose my life to this world is my only fear
So I gotta keep praying to keep my vision clear
This road is hard and best believe I got plenty scars
This for the homies that locked away in em cold dang bars
We stay connected when we pray but yet you seem so far
We need ya light we need ya grace to find out who we are
I pray to GOD that's when things changed
On this road that I'm living I don't look for fame
Closest ones told me Green bo you actin strange
Told em im just tryna live don't have time for games
I pray to GOD that's when things changed
On this road that I'm living I don't look for fame
Closest ones told me Green bo you actin strange
Told em im just tryna live don't have time for games
I pray to GOD for all the times that I didn't pray
I pray to GOD when that gun jammed and I ran away
I pray to GOD for my homie when he got locked away
And he made it home from that system and that made my day
I pray to GOD for my enemies tryna take my life
My life is better when I pray cause I believe in CHRIST
I pray to GOD when I lost hope wit no way to go
Then he showed me HIS many blessings and I had to grow
You gotta pray you in them streets I hope you make it out
You gotta pray get on ya grind you gotta find ya route
You gotta pray the only way that you gon find ya vision
You gotta pray stay on ya grind cause man this life anit simple
A prayer is simple a conversation you have with GOD
Don't get discourage keep on praying you follow GOD
I'm giving game about this life so man I hope you listen
You pray to GOD HE change ya life cause and anit no competition
I pray to GOD that's when things changed
On this road that I'm living I don't look for fame
Closest ones told me Green bo you actin strange
Told em im just tryna live don't have time for games
I pray to GOD that's when things changed
On this road that I'm living I don't look for fame




Closest ones told me Green bo you actin strange
Told em im just tryna live don't have time for games

I’m a former British soldier and I was taught that Islam was evil!
How wrong was I
I am now a Muslim and there is no other Brotherhood like it.
Islam is a religion of peace and love.

I’ve never been treated so well

If you can’t beat em, join em
Alhamdulillah



@Jelissei

@@abdallahhakouz7682 the other side is that he is not threatening muslims?

I don't have anything against moderate muslims, but militant jihadist are dangerous and we should not celebrate them nor their ambitions (of converting, subjugating or killing "non-believers").

I have Iranian and Syrien friends. I know how murderous militant jihadist / fascist islamist leadership were to them, their family and friends.
I know how many Christians, Jews and Muslim minorities have been displaced or killed in just the last 20 years.

The Muslim nations in the Middle East are realizing was the KKK and the Nazis never achieved.
And you're celebrating that?

As an ex armed forces too you are so correct but we was told Islam was bad we was just not fully informed to the difference between Islam and the extremists and they are not the same. I have soo many Muslim people in my life right now and I talk to them for hours about belief’s and the morals and respect that they have is powerful. Inshalla

@saifekhan1732

That should be mashallah brother... inshallah means if God wills.

@2l84me8

All religions are bad and violent.

@jacobmyers5631

The extremists are the only ones who actually believe in Islam. All other Muslims cherry pick the things they like about the religion and leave out the things they disapprove of. Not only does this make you and many others not Muslim, but now you have created your own cult of a religion you don’t even fully understand. The Quran and supporting hadiths are full of contradictions and nonsense that have been scientifically disproven. The Quran doesn’t even support itself from the first page to the last page
