pray 4 love
Travis Scott Lyrics

Oh, don't pray for love
Don't pray for love because it won't solve all problems

Oh, say love
Instead of praying for love, express your love in your actions

Just ask the lonely, oh
The lonely know the struggles of life and can provide insight on how to cope

Pray for who lost they fate, and died too young
Pray for those who died young or tragically

Pray for the ones I hate, the ones I love
Pray for everybody, regardless of your feelings towards them

Pray for my liver when I'm off, in this club
Pray for my health while I party and drink

I pray that the, demons go away, they hauntin' us
Pray for deliverance from negativity that is always present

Man I can't take no more of this lifestyle we been livin'
This lifestyle is unbearable and needs to change

Man I can't take no more of the white powers in position
I can't handle the oppression and inequality from those in power

Gotta grab OJ wheel, gotta scoop up J Rich
Need to get out of the current situation with the help of friends

Told Chase we ain't goin' back, you know, we gotta hitch
Not returning to the past and moving forward with determination

I mean I'm, aggravated, agitated, I admit
I am frustrated and upset, no need to hide it

Intoxicated, animated, got me feelin' kinda lit
Feeling excited and overstimulated from drugs/alcohol

Contemplatin' fornicatin', might as well fuck up some shit
Considering engaging in sexual acts and possibly causing trouble

They lookin' at me way too crazy, got me feelin' communist
Being looked at strangely and feeling like a rebel against mainstream society

But I'm just tryin' to save the throne, pray for Bones, pray for Stix
Trying to maintain a high status while praying for friends/family

If my album never sell, then we gon' hit that lick
If my album doesn't sell well, we'll find another way to make money

Tell Lamar, call up Cash, tell him buzz me at the Ritz
Getting in touch with business associates to arrange a meeting

It's the weekend, we off the deep end, you need to pray for us
Making questionable decisions on the weekend, requesting prayers for guidance

Pills
Drugs can provide temporary relief but can be harmful in the long run

Have you ever been through life's
Have you experienced the hardships of life

Challenges? Promises?
Life is full of challenges and promises, both good and bad

Get down it, I pray
Praying to be prepared for whatever comes your way in life

Let me tell the lost tell about Jacques
Telling a story about a lost person named Jacques

Let me tell you how I turned Scott
Explaining how the artist changed his life

How I went down on the block
Talking about his past in the streets

Where to fall around ten o'clock
When the action would start happening

And how we came up gettin' all the knots, dodgin' cops, yeah
Finding a way to make money while avoiding law enforcement

'Fore a nigga had the locks
Before he had the money to afford luxuries

'Fore a nigga had the chain, 'fore I had the box
Before he had the bling and fame

Always kept my city on me like it was a swatch
Being proud of his city and always representing it

Every time we in the party, took it up a notch
Making parties more lively and exciting

Now I'm thinkin' 'bout this new girl, and she doin' pop (Ohhh)
Thinking about a new love interest who does drugs

Wanna know my dick longer than a Pringle box
Boasting about his sexual prowess

(Don't pray for love)
Reiterating the message to not just pray for love

Tired of seein' these black kids on the face of FOX (Ohhh)
Sick of the negative portrayal of black people in mainstream media

And fuck CNN, they don't wanna see us win (Said I-)
Disliking another mainstream news outlet for its lack of support

Mama don't you worry no no more, worry no no more
Trying to reassure and care for his mother

I'mma take you from the first to the ninety floor
Promising to deliver a better life for his mother

You always told me what I'm playin', that shit gotta grow
Encouragement from his mother to continue to grow and succeed

And anything I detonate, that shit gotta blow
Everything he does must have a big impact and make a statement

We don't pray for love, no more
Ending the repetitive message that praying for love alone isn't enough

We don't wanna see you on the cover of [?], no more
Rejecting the idea of being featured in magazines for shallow reasons

We don't wanna see you on the news, no more
Don't want negative attention from the media

All alone
Feeling lonely and isolated

Underrated is an understatement
Being undervalued is an extreme understatement

They tryin' to test greatness, a nigga tryin' to get paid
People are doubting him even though he is trying to succeed financially

These niggas fiends watchin' all of my moves
Others are paying close attention to his every move like addicts

Cause the music like crack on me, cookin' all day
The power of music is like an addiction and he spends all day creating it

I'm right here, you know where I stay
Being in one place and staying constant

And if you don't, then ask your girl, she probably know the way
Joking that even someone's significant other knows where he is

She like my show lights, she want to be wifey
Women are attracted to his flashy and entertaining lifestyle

She know that if she got me then she gon' be good for life
Believing that being with him will lead to financial security and success

So I pull out 'fore the climax
Choosing to stop intercourse before completing it

Faster than a hi-hat, sorry baby, I don't play
Reluctant to play around and take sex seriously

And if I did, you know my kids would be ballin'
Even if he had children, they would be successful due to his wealth

And my daughter gon' never meet a nigga like me
His daughter won't find someone like him due to his uniqueness

My niggas pull up in that Rolls-Royce
His friends drive expensive cars

Like they sell that coke boy, shout out to the Coke Boys
Friends' lifestyles similar to that of drug dealers, giving a shoutout to the rap group 'Coke Boys'

They never pray for us, nobody pray for us
Others don't value or support them

Nobody pray, no, no, no, no, no
No one cares enough to pray for them

Just ask the lonely, oh
The lonely have insight on the struggle of life and can provide guidance

(just ask the lonely)
Reiterating the message to seek advice from the lonely
