Pray
Mob Figaz AP.9 Lyrics

God taketh away, and God giveth
Everything in life has its own time and place, including both losses and gains.

The clock's tickin' away as the plot thickens today
Time is slipping away, and life is becoming more complicated and challenging.

Cause I'm sippin' hard liquor
I am trying to escape the stress and pain of life by drinking alcohol.

We couldn't suffer the same amount of losses
We can't all handle the same degree of hardship and misfortune in life.

Cause my supply's bigger
I am better equipped to handle challenges and losses because of my greater resources.

Don't associate me with nothin' but that dopest child star shit
Don't limit me to my past or stereotype me based on my early success.

That Lindsey Lo', that Todd Bridges
Don't compare me to other troubled child stars and expect me to share their same fate.

Hit your block with a tickin' bomb that'll
I am ready to come after my competition with deadly force and unstoppable power.

Leave the competition in hospital
I am willing to inflict serious harm on those who pose a threat to my success.

I'm the product of foolish pride
My arrogance and stubbornness have shaped me into the person I am today.

I'm a speeding bullet who responds to the pull of God's trigger
I am a force to be reckoned with and will follow God's will and plan for my life.

Jumpin' out the barrel, like "Excuse me, Nas, move aside, Jigga"
I am ready to take my place among hip hop's elite, including Nas and Jay-Z.

I'm hard as proving ground bricks
I am tough and resilient, like the bricks used to test the durability of construction materials.

Groundbreaking each time I spit words and they hit the street
My rhymes are powerful and groundbreaking, and they have a profound impact on listeners.

You don't like the game, you can google my dick, bitch
If you don't respect my talent and success, you can look elsewhere for entertainment.

I pray for foes, I pray for hoes
I pray for everyone, even those who have wronged me or who are often marginalized or dismissed.

Don't pray for me, pray for Paris
There are more important issues and events to focus on, like the terrorist attacks in Paris.

Pray for Nigeria, pray for peace
There are many other parts of the world that need prayer and support, like Nigeria and the search for peace.

Pray for your marriage
Pray for the strength and success of your own relationships and commitments.

Why you put all your eggs in one basket?
Why rely on just one aspect of your life for success or happiness when there are so many other factors at play?

Blowin' dumb cash on Wraiths and karats
Don't waste your money on expensive, temporary luxuries like cars and jewelry.

Your daughter ain't an heiress, I hope she's taken care of
Don't assume that your child will inherit wealth or prosperity, and instead focus on ensuring their safety and happiness.

More importantly, I hope this gun in your face don't end up in your mouth
I hope that violence and hostility doesn't lead to catastrophic outcomes for either of us.

If I approach thee, boy, please take me serious
If I engage with you, don't underestimate me or dismiss me as a joke.

Cause if I say that I shall, I shall proceed
If I commit to something or make a promise, I will follow through with it.

I don't cry wolf cause I don't enjoy wasting tears any more than I enjoy wasting shells
I don't make false claims or promises because I don't want to waste my time, effort, or resources on something that won't materialize.

I looked at the state of my health and asked the reverend 'bout it
I have reflected on my own well-being and discussed it with a religious leader for guidance and support.

But you can pray for them
Instead of focusing on me, pray for those who need it more and are in greater need of help or support.

Look around, look around, look around, look around
Take a closer look at your surroundings and become aware of the struggles and injustices present in our world.

I'm seeing children being murdered by police and then acquitted on all charges
I am witnessing a grave injustice and violation of human rights in which law enforcement kills innocent and unarmed children and faces no consequences.

It's like they're all targets, pray for them
It feels as though these innocent children are being targeted and persecuted by law enforcement, and we must pray for their justice and protection.

The block is my mother, 2Pac got it on lock in my suburb
My neighborhood and community are like a family to me, and 2Pac's influence and music resonate deeply within it.

I got dope double-wrapped up in bubble wrap on top of my cupboard
I am involved in drug trafficking and have large amounts of drugs stored and hidden in my home.

Bad influences, we the gumbo that you see inside the pot
We are the negative and harmful influences in our community, and our presence and actions affect and impact those around us.

Swimming 'round in all the saddest, truer shit
We are surrounded by and immersed in the harsh realities and struggles of life, and they deeply affect and impact us.

Attic in the coolest whip
My car is modified and customized to the point that even its interior is unique and impressive.

Riding 'round my city lookin' for the baddest newest bitch
I am constantly searching for and pursuing the most attractive and desirable women in my city, regardless of their character or personality.

Hammer in my stash, feeling too legit
I have weapons and firearms stored for protection and intimidation, and I feel invincible and powerful because of them.

90 on the dash, slammin' on the gas
I am driving recklessly and dangerously fast, careening down the street with little regard for my own or others' safety.

Passenger mad, saying that the break pedal do exist
My passenger is frustrated and angry because I am driving too aggressively and recklessly, ignoring basic road safety measures.

I'm saying "I'm late man, I got school to skip"
I am making excuses and prioritizing my own desires and whims over my education and future prospects.

Introduce me to your chick, I turn this shit to a Skip to My Lou assist
If you introduce me to a woman, I will seduce her and take her away from you effortlessly, like a basketball player making an easy assist.

I don't talk too much shit, I discuss shit by throwing hands
I am a man of action and physical confrontation, and I prefer to communicate and resolve conflicts through fighting rather than talking.

I'm a sucker for hoes in yoga pants
I am easily attracted and obsessed with women who wear revealing clothing and exhibit sexual appeal, like yoga pants.

Tell my queen I'm in this shit, like kissing and holding hands
Let my girlfriend know that I am deeply involved in my criminal activities and lifestyle, and that it holds as much significance to me as a close romantic relationship.

I keep my flings on the other end of a string with swollen glass
I keep my sexual partners at a distance and only view them as temporary, meaningless flings, like toys on the end of a string.

I'm a player, I've been to every hotel and every lobby
I am a promiscuous and experienced womanizer who has slept with countless women in various locations and settings.

Every time I pray, I send up a prayer for everybody
Prayer is an important and meaningful part of my life, and I include everyone and everything in my prayers for hope, guidance, and support.
