Dayz I Prayed

(album: Hometown Hero - 2018)

"Call my name (hey)
So sweet and plain
But now you're gone and the
Pain comes back again
And I find"

Dayz I prayed when nights were cold
Nowhere to go but still I roll
Too many lights it take it's toll
So I stay below just play my roll
[x2]

Stay in your place cause I cannot fake it
I would not hide it no
Father forgive me I know I'm sinning
I was just trying to grow
Swear they was shady played me for crazy
Thinking my eyes were closed
Thought they was was my family I ain't deserve
How they tried to play me low
[x2]

They know what it is when I spot em
They told me I'll stay at the bottom
I give it to all of my people
I want em to know that I got em
Don't matter the weight on my shoulders
I stay on roll like a motor
Imma be here when it's over
Don't matter the fight Imma soldier

Dayz I prayed when nights were cold
Nowhere to go but still I roll
Too many lights it take it's toll
So I stay below just play my roll
[x2]

Stay in your place cause I cannot fake it
I would not hide it no
Father forgive me I know I'm sinning
I was just trying to grow
Swear they was shady played me for crazy
Thinking my eyes were closed
Thought they was was my family I ain't deserve
How they tried to play me low
[x2]

Yeah too many times I felt left out
I was looking for help and nobody helped out
Soon as they got they brick, damn they cripped out
It was under they rug and got swept out
I only did it for love but wasn't nothing there
I been a one man team nobody playing fair
They way they left me alone tell them I couldn't care
I know the devil is working, somebody say a prayer
I was sick time and time the same thing
Never mention king give truth the same name
Over twenty years the heat the same flame
Tell'em they be in but leave the same game
All these dayz I prayed I'd get a fair shot
These niggas ten on one can't get a fair block
Hustle there all my life can't get a fair spot
Off the top they time off like rare clocks

Dayz I prayed when nights were cold
Nowhere to go but still I roll
Too many lights it take it's toll
So I stay below just play my roll
[x2]

Stay in your place cause I cannot fake it
I would not hide it no
Father forgive me I know I'm sinning
I was just trying to grow
Swear they was shady played me for crazy
Thinking my eyes were closed
Thought they was was my family I ain't deserve
How they tried to play me low
