Prayer
Mod Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And you being too reckless
With all of those words that you throw around
You never learn your lesson
You keep falling further down

And you're gonna block your blessings
You're living way too messy
You forgot to take the time to be grateful
Trust and believe and be faithful

Pray on it, pray on it
I found a better path I need to stay on it
Pray on it, pray on it
I was killing myself, let's be honest
Tell me how to feel, yeah
Remind me that it's real
'Cause I can't really deal

I was living reckless
Designer clothes with a snotty nose
Doing drugs for breakfast
All of the white lines on the road

I was drowning for so long
I was alone feeling so numb
I forgot to take the time to be grateful
Have trust and believe and be faithful

Pray on it, pray on it
I found a better path, I need to stay on it
Pray on it, pray on it
I was killing myself, let's be honest
Tell me how to feel
Remind me that it's real
'Cause I can't really deal

It's no longer "Who I am" but "Who will I become"
I gotta grow up because I didn't die young
I finally stopped choking every breath I take
Let my best advice come from my worst mistake
I've accepted that I'm not like the masses
I'm meditating in a castle out in Calabasas
Every action has a reaction
What did you think would happen?

Say a prayer for me
And I'll say a prayer for you




Say a prayer for me
And I'll say a prayer for you

"Live fast, die young" was the anthem of my generation. I lost a lot of childhood friends over the years as we all got hooked on binging and druggin. 35 now 1yr sober and my Son will be born in a few weeks. "Gotta grow up because I didn't die young" 🤙 Thanks for this album Brother.

@brianhlp30

@TylerPlace69x2

Thank you guys. All I have to say is dont wait around for it because it just sorta sparks but one day it just clicked in me "do I want to be gone and tap out?" or "Do I want to start a new life with the people still here that care about me?" and the pieces just started falling into place after that. People are there to help just reach out. It starts within just keep telling yourself over and over you want change. Wish y'all the best 🙏❤💪
