Pray
V.E.I.L Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You couldn’t walk a mile in my shoe
You don’t know half the shit I went through
All of the trials I was put through
Praying to god for the day to come through
You made a sacrifice, I made one too
Matter of fact had to make more than a few
Been through the phases and I still kept it true
Cause People been changing so I’m gripping the tool
Every night, Every day
I say my grace, I gotta pray
Pray for the real, Pray for my sake
Pray for the ones who ain’t make it today
Pray I accomplish the dreams that I chase
Pray cause my family got food on the plates
I Pray to God to keep my family safe
I pray that we never run out of this cake
I roll me some gas I pour up a drank
I mix it both It eases the pain
I came to ball Go hard in the paint
One up on y’all I’m feeling like James
I play for keeps The Fuck did you think
Me and you others we is not the same
I had to live through the hardaway
Made me the man that I am today
If there’s a will then there must be a way
Ima take all of the chance today
I’m stacking up on the Benjamin’s
Counting this cash put a smile on my face
Nights in the studio I overstayed
Prayin we ball til end of days
You couldn’t walk a mile in my shoe
You don’t know half the shit I went through
All of the trials I was put through
Praying to god for the day to come through
You made a sacrifice I made one too
Matter of fact had to make more than a few
Been through the phases and I still kept it true
Cause people been changing so I’m gripping the tool
Every night, Every day
I say my grace, I gotta pray
Pray for the real, Pray for my sake
Pray for the ones who ain’t make it today
Pray I accomplish the dreams that I chase
Pray cause my family got food on the plates
I Pray to God to keep my family safe
I pray that we never run out of this cake
Every night, Every day
I pray the lord my soul to take
I give my grace Cause I am awake
Then get to the money no time to waste
Hungry for more then what I just made
How can I stop when there’s more to make
How can I stop when I got no brakes
An empire to build I Got limits to break
Accomplish the mission before it’s too late
Deposit my check before the delay
Hustle till I own a crib by the bay
When I’m in my city I ball like d-wade
The series all black, I feel like Bruce Wayne
Boxing the whip while I'm switching the lanes
Fuck a new bitch they gon switch by the days
Latinas to Asians expanding my taste
Take her to 4th base
Put her in 4s when we at my place
When you got money you gon beat the case
But when you determined you gon beat the race
Ain’t talking money get out of my face
I’m only concerned bout the digits I make
Doubling up I’m raising the stakes
Cause you don’t know shit bout the pain that I’ve faced
You couldn’t walk a mile in my shoe
You don’t know half the shit I went through
All of the trials I was put through
Praying to god for the day to come through
You made a sacrifice, I made one too
Matter of fact had to make more than a few
Been through the phases and I still kept it true
Cause People been changing so I’m gripping the tool
Every night, Every day
I say my grace, I gotta pray
Pray for the real, Pray for my sake
Pray for the ones who ain’t make it today
Pray I accomplish the dreams that I chase
Pray cause my family got food on the plates




I Pray to God to keep my family safe
I pray that we never run out of this cake

most women in Biblical times did put on headscarves as a sign of modesty. But what is most important as the Bible says is to put on the garments of righteousness.

​@WithoutIslamIamNothing Paul said that not jesus, paul never even met jesus and he was a Pharisees

Major Mohit Sharma

​@Tasi Luadid Muhammed met Jesus. Then why do I hear Jesus speaking in the Qur'an ? Paul never met Jesus so did many believers who were known by christ through preaching of deciples. Are they wrong now ? Your understanding should be put on Qur'an first. If it is then your book will be refuted first.

Tasi Lua

@Major Mohit Sharma Muhammad already knew of jesus being that the bible was about 200 years old when Muhammad was around

I'm a Muslim but I get so happy seeing religious Christians or any religious people, because it shows that Islam isn't the only religion that's not fading or modernised
