Pray Lyrics by Dave East, Buda & Grandz, DJ Drama

Book of David (Deluxe)

2022

[Intro]
I'm here
As your child
Asking for mercy
Asking for your guidance
Praying that you will shine your light on my path
On this day
I come to you humbly
Asking for your guidance (yea)
Praying that you will shine your light
[Verse 1 Dave East]
For the ones that dearly departed I guitared it
That means that I'm pulling strings for people I can't even talk with (I can't)
The flow done got retarded since I started
The niggas that help me start it
We still talking
We still building
We still on it (still)
Smelling Buda smoke all through the studio knocking a Buda beat (Buda)
Fat bitches Golden corral
Shit all I do is eat (starving)
Really ain't been broke in a while check out my files
You can tell if it really comes from the heart shit like a smile (Smile)
I'm just trying to score
Couple niggas just tryna foul (foul me)
Free all of my Homies that's down the time is now (right now)
I never thought I'd see the day where I would play Tical
Cause we was in the projects trying to scrape a hundred thousand (racks)
This paper ain't gon count itself
We gotta make it now (right now)
I couldn't walk up in it straight I found my way around (around it)
Just trying to talk about the pain and all the blood that stained the ground
Got me vibin' knocking reggae thinking how Jamaica sound
Bombaclot
You can't hustle here go find another block 1
A hundred shots
Soul was lifted as soon as they spun the block (gone)
He been a loser all his life he don't care if he won or not (he don’t care)
Smoke sound like Rob Base I wanna rock
We love the block
I seen niggas switch teams like they part of the league (that’s crazy)
My cousin rocket stains green wear his heart his the sleeve (way up north)
Now everybody on my top guess the target is me (it’s me)
That was my man until he hated we hardly could speak (we don’t talk talk)
I been that nigga since the day that I started to breathe
50 bitches on the yacht
Niggas don't part like me (at all)
If you on the block you feel it (feel it)
Nobody party like me
If you on the block you feel it nobody talking like me (you feel it)
It's crazy how the streets had us blinded
We hardly could see (blind)
Niggas end up in the water be part of the sea (drowning)
Once they start blocking your vision it gets harder to see (it’s hard)
We start drowning it get harder to breathe
I just try to motivate with something we all could believe
Real shit (real shit)
Up in your crib a couple of men in black
But ain't no Will Smith (all black)
They say they want the real till you show em just how real get (it’s real)
I never really try to destroy just try to build shit (Let’s build)
You got in this shit to enjoy and try to kill shit
I never really try to destroy just try to build shit (Let’s build)
You got in this shit to enjoy and try to kill shit
I never really try to destroy just try to build shit (Let’s build)
You got in this shit to enjoy and try to kill shit
[Outro]
Forgive me for all that I have done and I have yet to do
