Prayed Up
Summer Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was one and done, I should try it
I don't remember the last time I had a drink
Let me think, uh, weeks on weeks
When's the last time I had some good lovin'?
Some good lovin', some good touchin'
I know I'm just feeling vulnerable
Baby, I'm trippin' but I know
I'm tryna stay afloat but I'm drowning, I
I run around with my own crew thought I told you
Talkin' me, myself and I
Swear I'm losin' my mind
Why I need to stay prayed up
Prayed up, prayed up
I need to stay prayed up
I need to stay prayed up, yeah
Oh, ooh
Hear 'em in my ear, I hear 'em in my ear talkin'
I hear 'em in my ear, I hear 'em in my ear talkin'
I hear 'em in my ear, I hear 'em in my ear talkin'
But I just stay steady walkin' on the right path
I don't know, I might spaz, but
Summer Walker's song Prayed Up is a powerful and introspective look at the struggles she is facing internally. In the opening verses, she confesses to not remembering the last time she smoked or drank, which suggests she is trying to distance herself from old habits that may not have been healthy for her. She also expresses a desire for romantic affection, but she knows that her emotional state is fragile, causing her to "trip" and feel vulnerable. This vulnerability is compounded by the presence of demons that seem to be speaking in her ear, making her feel like she is "drowning" and "losing her mind."
Despite these struggles, Walker knows that she needs to stay "prayed up" to overcome them. She repeats this phrase throughout the song, emphasizing the importance of faith and spirituality in her life. She admits that she may "spaz" or struggle with her emotions, but she remains committed to staying on the right path and maintaining a connection with a higher power. Overall, the song is a poignant expression of how difficult life can be when faced with inner demons, and the importance of having a strong faith to find the strength to overcome them.
