Kurupt - First We Pray lyrics

[Intro] Black people dont have no, no where to go You know, all we got to do is kick it We gonna kick it in our hood, you know What we gonna do, we might We might go k** a couple of n***as mane You know, go in they hood and do a drive-by Then come back in the hood and laugh about that stuff You know, its just a thing Only how you really gonna get deep into it Is when one of your friends die Just like when my partners died (we got some problems) How do we solve our problems? [Hook] First we pray, then we ride First we pray, then we ride [Verse 1: Nate Dogg] He was my brother Loved him like no other To top it off I introduced him to this game I knew his mother Loved her like my mother A part of me is gone Bout take my brother home [Bridge] (What're ya gonna do) When the trials come (Are ya gonna run?) Are you gonna run? (What're ya gonna do) First I'm gonna pray (Are ya gonna run?) You muthaf**in' right [Hook] First we pray, then we ride First we pray, then we ride [Verse 2: Kurupt] I ain't got nothin' but love for you Locs and hogs And I ain't got nothin' but love for my muthaf**in' dogs In the mist of the war zone, its on on site Daylight tonight the heat held close and tight Beware here I come with the DPG on my chest Heat gonna spit like Elliot Ness In the darkest zone you feel alone and on your own And after I bust, n***as call me Kurupt Corleone All I'm about is money, loot and cash Homies in the DPG Nate, Snoop and Daz Now with these emotions how you approach yourself Knowin' you all about your wealth and as it is to health First I pray, get my thoughts intact Ask for forgiveness cause I'm bout to lay this n***a flat Can you adapt, can you feel me, I doubt it Cause the closest you see it, is when n***as write about it I can't live without it and it ain't sh** I could do But stay down with the homeys in grey and blue So just keep the heat close in hand Cause I done see n***as get sh** while they homeboys ran [Verse 3: Nate Dogg] Heavenly father shine your light on me I know I promise to slow down on this weed Seems I remember someone used to say One life gets taken, if you take one life away [Bridge] (What're ya gonna do) When the trials come (Are ya gonna run?) Are you gonna run? (What're ya gonna do?) First I'm gonna pray (Are ya gonna run?) You muthaf**in' right [Hook x2] First we pray, then we ride First we pray, then we ride
