Prayer Lyrics by Emtee

2019

[Hook]
Came up from nothing, it was bad
I  used to hate to see my momma sad
I'ma  make it alright, ain't no looking back
I used to dream about it, now look where we at
Prayers go up, up, up, up, up, up
And  the blessings come down
You  know (you know)
You know, you know, you know

[Verse 1]
Lord  forgive me for my sins
I'm just trying to win
Since I was a youngin' I was starving, going in
Told my nigga fill up that cup to the brim
Chances  of a long life not what they seem
Devil is a liar stomp a niddle to the dirt, yeah!
I'ma keep on grinding till I get what I deserve, yeah!
Nobody can stop me 'cause I'm putting in the work, yeah!
You know what we doing it's a blessing and a curse, yeah!

Nkosi sikelel’ iAfrika
Maluphakanyisw’ uphondo lwayo, ey!
Yizwa imithandazo yethu, ey!
Yizwa imithandazo yethu

[Hook]
Came up from nothing, it was bad
I used to hate to see my momma sad
I'ma make it alright, ain't no looking back
I used to dream about it, now look where we at
Prayers go up, up, up, up, up, up
And the blessings come down
You know
You know, you know, you know

[Verse 2]
I see some of them hoping I drop the ball
Already told y'all I will never fall
All the hating pushes me to stack it tall
If they got a problem I just make one call
'Was on the streets with my [?]
If I ever loose money, bet, I'm making it back
They want punchlines, like the shit I'm making is wack
Hommies who don't like me started giving me dabs
Ey, it's too late, now I'm feeling myself
No matter how it go, I ain't killing myself
Ey, I don't fight but they giving me a bag
I'm not a boxer so I'm strapped, I ain't kidding myself

[Hook]
Came up from nothing, it was bad
I used to hate to see my momma sad
I'ma make it alright, ain't no looking back
I used to dream about it, now look where we at
Prayers go up, up, up, up, up, up
And the blessings come down
You know (you know)
You know, you know, you know
