As I wake up in the mornin' stretch my arms wide[00:00:12]
Before I even yawn or wipe the cold out my eyes[00:00:15]
I say Al Humdulillah givin' praise to my God[00:00:17]
Allowin' me another day blessin' me to rise[00:00:20]
Know at any given moment it could be my demise[00:00:24]
'Cause you only get a minute to pray[00:00:27]
And a second to die[00:00:29]
And realizing that I've come to terms with that[00:00:31]
One day I'm gon' burn for all my heinous acts[00:00:34]
I know a sincere prayer can only change my fate[00:00:37]
So I drop prostrate and pray it ain't too late[00:00:39]
For me to ask for forgiveness and increase my faith[00:00:42]
And guide me on the path that's straight[00:00:45]
And never lead me astray[00:00:48]
'Cause I know I can't walk this alone[00:00:49]
I'm in fear of that fork in the road[00:00:52]
The devil there waitin' to claim my soul[00:00:54]
So I pray that You hold my hand[00:00:56]
As I follow your footprints in the sand[00:00:58]
Now I know I done did some wrong[00:01:01]
And I ain't been to talk to you in so so long[00:01:03]
So I'ma hit my knees and extend my palms[00:01:06]
And send this up to you and hope you hear this[00:01:09]
I'll be prayin'[00:01:12]
Prayin'[00:01:14]
I'll be prayin'[00:01:16]
Prayin'[00:01:17]
I'll be prayin'[00:01:19]
Yeah[00:01:20]
I'll be prayin'[00:01:22]
Ayee yeah[00:01:24]
I often find myself stuck just starin' in space[00:01:25]
Feel like hours at a time my mind driftin' away[00:01:28]
Can't quite collect my thoughts or put 'em in place[00:01:31]
And I grab a glimpse of my momma with a head full of grays[00:01:35]
I know they shouldn' be there[00:01:38]
Nah[00:01:39]
Not for her age[00:01:40]
And then I think of how I stressed her and shortened her days[00:01:41]
Her long sleepless nights not knowing if I was safe[00:01:46]
Or was my name on the list of the reaper that day[00:01:47]
I sink deeper as I feel a tear creep down my face[00:01:50]
I wipe it away now my thoughts on life in the grave[00:01:53]
I know on that day that three things gon' go wit ya[00:01:56]
Ya family ya wealth and ya deeds but two gon' leave[00:01:59]
And when that last person leave that site[00:02:02]
The grave gon' squeeze so tight[00:02:05]
Ya ribs gon' overlap till every bone crack[00:02:07]
I drop my head in despair imagine going through that[00:02:11]
I smell fire then I notice the hole in my pants[00:02:15]
I drop my cigarette butt and brush off my ash[00:02:18]
I'm still stuck but I notice a car pass[00:02:21]
I hear the driver cussin' me out over his horn blast[00:02:24]
Damn this can't be right let me snap back to life[00:02:27]
How long I been stuck day dreaming at this light [00:02:30]
Wondering if that's a sign of how I'm moving through life[00:02:33]
A reckless abandon a accident just waitin' to happen[00:02:36]
Now I know I done did some wrong[00:02:40]
And I ain't been to talk to you in so so long[00:02:43]
So I'ma hit my knees and extend my palms[00:02:45]
And send this up to you and hope you hear this[00:02:48]
I'll be prayin'[00:02:51]
Prayin'[00:02:52]
I'll be prayin'[00:02:53]
Prayin'[00:02:56]
I'll be prayin'[00:02:56]
Yeah[00:02:58]
I'll be prayin'[00:02:58]
Ayee yeah[00:03:04]
