(Verse 1)
Now I lay me, Down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
hope you forgive mistakes if I die before I wake
Please (please) keep me safe from fakes
Dear god, I honestly don’t know where I’m going
Making waves in life, but this world is an ocean
I feel like I’m splashing, flailing, out with no umbrella
On a day that It’s hailing,
Rained on,
Hope that I can stay strong,
Maintain, in this, quest for fame,
Where the, rest are sane,
Let it, stress my brain,
When the best are slain
How is this kid from queens gonna rep his name?
Cynical, cause will the people cheer when I do?
I’m tryna steal their hearts like a common criminal
This robin hood attire, I just wanna switch their view
But will I be forgotten as another sinner too?
Hope not,
They tell me that you made us in your image
so if you are the truth, how come liars are existing?
I wanna see the triumph in ya wisdom
but when I look at prisons, I see Christians all up in the system,
and a-theists who be, caking up,
then I’m looking at my hands like I.. prayed for what?
Keeping faith is tough, every day feels the same,
When homie just got jacked for his Jesus chain
My god

(Chorus)
I hope that you can hear me
I'm talking so loud so I hope that you can hear me
My head bowed and my eyes grow weary
But i'm talking so loud 'cause I hoping you can hear me
I say what I want
And Pray you respond
Said I say what I want
And Pray you respond
Said I say what I want
and Pray you respond
Man I say what I want
and pray you respond
 
(Verse 2)
While I’m saying Amen, someone got the gague and they’re aiming
Another son passed away, from the spraying
tryina find a haven, hoping through my pleas I can find a way in
Looking like a refugee, tryina ditch Satan
Feeling like Jay-Z every day I May-Sin
But I hope that you can hear me,
Saying my hail mary’s,
Something like pac did, before he was buried
I thought there wouldn’t be a flood, where the sharks live
So tell me why we gotta go through these hard ships?
Why do some spend their lives tryina raise a smart kid?
Just to hear that they died, right before college?
Huh?
I rewind columbine, wondering, was this designed and divine?
Suffering,
Or are you blind to the crying? Times hard
I need a sign, cause I’m trying’
My God
 
(chorus)

(Verse 3)
Laawwwd
Protect me from the many men who wanna see me end up in
The fire, their sentiment is treating me like cinnamon
One of your chil-der-eren, hope that you can fit me in,
Keep a watchful eye on this crazy world we living in
(Keep us all in health) is that asking too much?
I’m praying that my si-bi-lings will get to grow up
Sho’nuff
All alone you know it’s so tough, hope you send some horse shoes
out those with no luck
and I got my hands clasped, like these white chicks who be clutching hand bags
soon as I step in, like they gonna get jacked at any second
man it gets me so mad, but know that I pray for them
and I hope that you take pity, on my entire city
wanna see my pop retire, and my moms to hit 60
hope my whole squad, gets to rise up with me
and if I die tomorrow, then I hope you forgive me
My God

(chorus)
