(专辑： Church Clothes 4 - 2022)

And we pray we pray we pray we pray

Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Take me up, take me up, take me up
Take me up, take me up
Take me up, take me up, take me up
Take me up, take me up
Take me up

Yeah, huh, I remember when we hit the block
Selling candy tryna make a knot
Riding bikes up to the corner shop
Now we older and you end up locked up
All of your kids getting bigger, they missing they daddy
They wish you was with 'em
I talk to your momma, she told me "don't give up"
And pray for her son, 'cause she ain't raise no quitter
I wish I could run it back
I would tell us "Our daddies I ain't coming back"
I would tell us "If we stick together then we can do anything, we got each other's back"
Lost my cousin, I cry every summer now
I beat all of my cases, I wonder how
If it wasn't for God in my life, I'd be wearing them stripes
I'd be laying up underground, yeah

Mmm
Been a long time waiting on an answer
Been a long time praying with my hands up
Won't You come through, Father, come through
Won't You come through, Father, come through

Take me up, take me up, take me up
And we pray and we pray and we pray (Take me up)
Everyday, everyday, everyday (Take me up)
And we pray and we pray
Take me up
Take me up, take me up, take me up
And we pray and we pray and we pray (Take me up)
Everyday, everyday, everyday (Take me up)
And we pray and we pray
Take me up, take me up, take me up
And we pray and we pray and we pray (Take me up)
Everyday, everyday, everyday (Take me up)
And we pray and we pray and we pray
Take me up, take me up, take me up

Can't be mad at us, if you add it up
Everything we been through, we still managing
Used to drink every night just to handle it
Losing sleep every night from the damages
I was popping them pills in Decatur
Scrolling online and responding to haters
Came from the trenches, no handouts, no favors
Lay awake close hoping we get 'em later
Hating on me, devil preying on me
Everybody dying, it was weighing on me
Lot of power in me, lot of pain on me
I thank God for people who was praying for me
And we was struggling, tryna pay the rent
Taking losses, trying to get a win
Praying, fighting, through the hardest years
Took a minute, but we made it here

Mmm
Been a long time waiting on an answer
Been a long time praying with my hands up
Won't You come through, Father, come through
Won't You come through, Father, come through

Take me up, take me up, take me up
And we pray and we pray and we pray (Take me up)
Everyday, everyday, everyday (Take me up)
And we pray and we pray, take me up
Take me up, take me up, take me up
And we pray and we pray and we pray (Take me up)
Everyday, everyday, everyday (Take me up)
And we pray and we pray, take me up
Take me up, take me up, take me up
And we pray and we pray and we pray (Take me up)
Everyday, everyday, everyday
And we pray and we pray and we pray, take me up
Take me up, take me up, take me up
And we pray and we pray and we pray (Take me up)
Everyday, everyday, everyday (Take me up)
