Pray For Me - Brother Ali[00:00:00]

Somebody pray for me[00:00:11]

Bless his bless his heart[00:00:12]

Somebody please pray for me[00:00:16]

Bless his bless his heart[00:00:17]

Somebody pray for me[00:00:21]

Bless his bless his heart[00:00:22]

What more could you say to me[00:00:26]

Bless his bless his heart[00:00:27]

The first day of third grade[00:00:33]

Topic of discussion at the kick ball game[00:00:35]

Is who's the new student why he look that way[00:00:37]

A eight year old expert determined I've got aids[00:00:39]

A vote must've been taken it became my name[00:00:42]

I mean literally aids is my name okay[00:00:44]

It made its way around the school and eventually[00:00:47]

I heard a teacher try to catch herself as she yelled it to me[00:00:49]

I tried to be invisible honestly[00:00:52]

Wishing that the ground would just open up swallow me[00:00:54]

What kind of crime did I commit for this mockery[00:00:57]

Guess I must've lost some kind of cosmic lottery[00:01:00]

How am I processing this at a baby's age[00:01:02]

It felt like I had a gut full of razor blades[00:01:05]

I fantasized someone else would come take my place[00:01:08]

Because they taught me to hate my face[00:01:10]

Somebody please pray for me[00:01:12]

Bless his bless his heart[00:01:14]

Somebody pray for me[00:01:18]

Bless his bless his heart[00:01:19]

Somebody please pray for me[00:01:23]

Bless his bless his heart[00:01:24]

What more could you say to me[00:01:28]

Bless his bless his heart[00:01:29]

Imagine how my mama felt[00:01:35]

Obviously she want to offer me some kind of help[00:01:37]

Pretty white lady never probably dealt[00:01:39]

With this particular type of hell[00:01:41]

If she dyed my hair blonde maybe I can blend[00:01:43]

Get a better response maybe even a friend[00:01:46]

She took me to the salon put chemicals in my head[00:01:48]

When they took the towel off it was purple in the end[00:01:51]

Lot of money spent just to get me presentable[00:01:54]

Message that it sent the real you ain't acceptable[00:01:56]

I knew what she meant what else could she expect to do[00:01:59]

That was just the lens that she viewed protection though[00:02:02]

And so eventually I began to see that[00:02:04]

What grows out of me is my dirty little secret[00:02:06]

Had to go back every few weeks to keep it[00:02:09]

I think that part depressed me the deepest[00:02:12]

Somebody please pray for me[00:02:14]

Bless his bless his heart[00:02:16]

Somebody pray for me[00:02:19]

Bless his bless his heart[00:02:21]

Somebody please pray for me[00:02:25]

Bless his bless his heart[00:02:26]

What more could you say to me[00:02:30]

Bless his bless his heart[00:02:31]

Thank god for the grown ups[00:02:36]

That roll up when they know it's time to hold us[00:02:38]

The elder queen showed so much homegrown love[00:02:40]

She said hair doesn't die but your soul does[00:02:43]

She said Elvis wore his hair in a pompadour[00:02:46]

So he could try to look like muddy waters more[00:02:48]

But he would fry his crown so that he could lay it down[00:02:51]

Like a white boy they called it a conk before[00:02:54]

Until James brown came kicked down the door[00:02:56]

Say it loud I'm black and I'm proud my boy[00:02:59]

That the meaning behind the afros and all[00:03:01]

Get free being what it is that you know you are[00:03:04]

She said beauty's the splendor of truth[00:03:06]

You will never cut loose 'til you're suitable to you[00:03:08]

And your living is the proof just let it do what it do[00:03:11]

Now watch them follow suit and try to catch up to you[00:03:14]

Somebody musta prayed for me[00:03:16]

Bless his bless his heart[00:03:18]

Somebody prayed for me[00:03:21]

Bless his bless his heart[00:03:23]

Somebody musta prayed for me[00:03:26]

Bless his bless his heart[00:03:28]

What more could you say to me[00:03:32]

Bless his bless his heart[00:03:33]
