Lyrics

Psalm 27 - lord is my light, my salvation, lord shall I fear (lord fo'give fo my sins)
(I aint cryin', I aint cryin') cuz I have sinned
(The lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid)
And befo' I wrap up this +port of miami+ (please lord, please lord)
(When tha wicked, even mine enemies and foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh)
There's a lot of my brothas and sistas (they stumbled and fell)
They wasn't here to watch this come to pass
(Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear)
And since I can't do shit else, I'ma say a prayer (amen)
(Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident)
Amen

This was 12 years in tha makin'
No side deals with satan
I'm dealin' with tha maker (straight up)
Alot of homies ask what's a prayer (what's a prayer?)
A prayer is what kept me focused 12 years (12 years!)
A prayer is what saved me - I should of been indicted
Now my kids know jay-z (shawn carta)
A prayer is what kept me here, when 'em bullets cut tha air
I fell and I juss' said a prayer
A prayer's like medicine
It will heal wounds, ask bush veterans (juss' ask)
Big holes in a nigga side
Snub-nose .45, homeboy juss' close ya eyes

Put ya hands togetha, bow ya heads
One, keep me alive
Two, keep me out tha feds
Three, gotta bless tha kids
Fo', one fo' tha fam
Five, fo' tha dividends
Dear lord, here I am

So, I repent my sins, fo'give me
One, tha grapes on tha plate
Two, tha tags on they feet
Three, tha nights mama cried
Fo, I'm thuggin' with tha fam
Five, fo tha dividends
Dear lord, here I am (ross)

I swear to god I done some thangs in tha past
If I could, please lord, I'll help you bring 'em back (please lord)
I feel pain mayn', cuz I can't speak on it (shhh)
That's why I got so many songs, I can't sleep homie (damn man.. damn!)
Tattoes fo' fo'giveness (crosses)
I might not git it, but fo'give me (losses)
I'm here and I'm fightin' like a muthafucka (muthafucka)
Triple c's excited like a muthafucka (tripple c's)
Say a prayer, put tha weed in tha air
Thank god once again fo' makin' me a millionaire (amen amen amen!)
I thank god fo' makin' me a millionaire (ross)

Put ya hands togetha, bow ya heads
One, keep me alive
Two, keep me out tha feds
Three, gotta bless tha kids
Fo', one fo' tha fam
Five, fo' tha dividends
Dear lord, here I am

So, I repent my sins, fo'give me
One, tha grapes on tha plate
Two, tha tags on they feet
Three, tha nights mama cried
Fo, I'm thuggin' with tha fam
Five, fo tha dividends
Dear lord, here I am (ross)

I used to git stacks of tha ho zone (ho zone)
Now back to back, covas fo' tha ozone (jb)
Made tha magazine, billboard goin' stong
Rollin' in tha phantom, with muthafuckin' rollin' stones (stones, nigga)
You stuck with me thru thick and thin (thick and thin)
Sittin' back, got ya mama sittin' in a benz (lord)
Make you damn near wanna cry
Low 95, stack money like homicide (homicide)
Blood shed afta midnite (midnite)
It's juss' me and this weed, trynna git rite (tryin' yall..)
Blood shed afta midnite (midnite)
It's juss' ross and this kush trynna git rite (tryin' to git rite)

Put ya hands togetha, bow ya heads
One, keep me alive
Two, keep me out tha feds
Three, gotta bless tha kids
Fo', one fo' tha fam
Five, fo' tha dividends
Dear lord, here I am

So, I repent my sins, fo'give me
One, tha grapes on tha plate
Two, tha tags on they feet
Three, tha nights mama cried
Fo, I'm thuggin' with tha fam
Five, fo tha dividends
Dear lord, here I am (ross)
