I Pray - K.A.A.N.

It’s hard to harbor negative feelings when you this thankful

I can’t complain I just maintain that would be distasteful

I rather abstain from all the games I can"t be that wasteful

Got through the pain but I can’t claim my actions wasn’t shameful

Feeling the pressure, feeling the pressure, feeling it fucking all

Feeling the bumps, feeling the bruises, bouncing off the walls

See I survive through raging tides I know that there’s a God

Far from religious I’m just intuned with my spirit uh

I came so fucking close to giving up

My toughest critic in my reflection, I can’t look at you

When niggas was down and out, shit I just kept on looking up

Can’t throw the towel in yet, I know it’s gon' get better bruh

I pray I land on my feet

I pray my future not bleak

Pray my potential is reached

Pray I don’t suffer defeat

I know the devil is calling, I pray we don’t meet

I pray the Lord protect me from evils I can’t see

I know that money breeds envy, hatred and greed

The wicked smile in my face and plot on me

Lord keep me in your grace, I pray for peace

I pray that I don’t die before my time

I feel like it’s simple, shit ain’t complicated

I’m staying positive through all of the negative connotations

Protecting my spirit and energy, I know I’m obligated

To be grateful and thankful, feel like I’ve been highly favored

How we go from two room trailers and feeling like failures?

Shit I came from same clothes daily and negative savings

Shit I went from feeling so vacant, I ran out of patience

And shit I went from blasphemous, shameless, proclaiming it’s greatness

I mean I couldn’t tell you a lie, I gotta give you the truth

Can’t take the credit for my progression, I was lost and aloof

Baptized with my first rhyme, I was reborn in the booth

A testament of will and faith, I’m an example for you

Said it’s true, you can do anything you wishing to do

Yes it’s true, everything can change, it can get better for you

If you knew, the pain it’s only temporary, let it all pass through

The only thing we can do

I pray I land on my feet

I pray my future not bleak

Pray my potential is reached

Pray I don’t suffer defeat

I know the devil is calling, I pray we don’t meet

I pray the Lord protect me from evils I can’t see

I know that money breeds envy, hatred and greed

The wicked smile in my face and plot on me

Lord keep me in your grace, I pray for peace

I pray that I don’t die before my time
