The Hillside Scramblers - Prayer lyrics

(feat. Autumn Rue) [Intro: U-God] Forgive me.. For all that sh** I did in my past.. You know what I'm sayin'... [U-God] Is anyone out there? Does anyone care? This is my testament, my bedtime prayer I resent my sins, oh Lord, listen clear I can feel it in the heat of the night, and in the air Lord, give me your ear, I want you, to understand Please forgive me, I'm a righteous man Tryin' to do the best I can, just to feed my fam I might die, in these streets, by some jealous hands Now I can it's some scam, from the root to the fruit Cuz when they see me in the streets, grimey's guns salute Me, it's the moment of truth, I got mud on my boots Plus the sounds of the sirens, cops in hot pursuit Pray for me.. [Chorus x2: Autumn Rue] As I lay thee down to sleep I pray the Lord, the soul to keep If I die, before I wake I pray the Lord, the soul to take [U-God] All this pressure, building up in the pot When the schemes released, I'm bout to blow my top I'm the cream of the crop, when machine guns pop I seen the d**h angel come when I see son drop I cried, tattoo tear drops, cuz inside it hurt I saw his life flash before him, as he lied in the dirt And searched for heaven on earth, in his debts, sold in land I poisoned my own community, with kilos and grams And people don't take a stand, politics tempers flare They build, prisons 'stead of parks, children end up in there It's the welfare, the precinct, the daycare's, indecent The churches, the priest, inside the belly of the beast It's, diseases, crack babies, people actin' crazy Oh Lord, can you save me? If not, snatch up my baby Ohhh.. [Chorus x2]
