Praying Man - Big K.R.I.T.[00:00:00]
Guess I was on road[00:00:25]
Didn't know which way to go[00:00:28]
I think I hear a praying man coming[00:00:30]
A praying man coming[00:00:34]
Sometimes I couldn't read the signs[00:00:37]
My people done left me behind[00:00:41]
I think I hear a praying man coming[00:00:43]
I think I hear a praying man coming[00:00:49]
Stumble along the path,[00:00:52]
He emerged from the grass[00:00:54]
Stopped at me and asked why so sad[00:00:55]
Perhaps because they had taken what I had[00:00:58]
I'm sure it wasn't much to[00:01:00]
Them but it was all that I could grab[00:01:01]
I was on my way to church,[00:01:03]
I was running late at first[00:01:05]
But after all this riff raff here,[00:01:06]
I missed service and it hurts[00:01:08]
But what's worse I'm not sure how long[00:01:10]
I've been swaying in the breeze[00:01:11]
Tired of talking to the trees and[00:01:13]
You the first praying man that I've seen[00:01:14]
I feed you lending hand,[00:01:16]
But I see if you got some time[00:01:18]
I'm glad you looked up[00:01:19]
Because most people pay no mind[00:01:21]
He smiled and said "Son well,[00:01:23]
I can do you one better"[00:01:24]
You removed a pocket knife and[00:01:26]
Cut me down from my oppressor, forever[00:01:27]
Guess I was on road[00:01:29]
Didn't know which way to go[00:01:32]
I think I hear a praying man coming[00:01:35]
A praying man coming[00:01:39]
Sometimes I couldn't read the signs[00:01:42]
My people done left me behind[00:01:45]
I think I hear a praying man coming[00:01:48]
I think I hear a praying man coming[00:01:54]
Boating along the sea,[00:01:57]
He emerged from the mist[00:01:58]
Asked me how I got far from the beach[00:02:00]
Cause they stripped me of my pride[00:02:02]
And put these shackles on my feet[00:02:03]
I was stacked on top of my folk[00:02:05]
And it was really hard to breathe[00:02:07]
It was a little hard to believe that[00:02:08]
I had been caught up in this mess[00:02:10]
And some of my own[00:02:12]
People would sell me to my death[00:02:13]
It was a lot of us on the ride and[00:02:14]
It was a lot of us that was lost[00:02:16]
But some of us couldn't take[00:02:18]
It so some of us jumped off[00:02:19]
And I'm really glad you found me on your course[00:02:22]
I been out here for a while and[00:02:24]
There's no sign of the shore[00:02:25]
He smiled and said[00:02:27]
"Son well I can do you one better"[00:02:28]
He lended me his hand and[00:02:30]
Picked me up from my oppressor, forever[00:02:32]
Guess I was on road[00:02:34]
Didn't know which way to go[00:02:37]
I think I hear a praying man coming[00:02:39]
A praying man coming[00:02:43]
Sometimes I couldn't read the signs[00:02:46]
My people done left me behind[00:02:49]
I think I hear a praying man coming[00:02:52]
I think I hear a praying man coming[00:02:58]
Driving along the road[00:03:01]
He asked me what I was running from and[00:03:02]
Where I was trying to go[00:03:04]
"Well I was working in the field[00:03:06]
And one of my kinfolk just got killed[00:03:07]
And I knew they'd come for me and[00:03:08]
Lord knows I wanna live[00:03:11]
See I heard there's people free,[00:03:11]
Not that far but far from me[00:03:13]
To be running from these dogs[00:03:15]
With no shoes up on my feet[00:03:16]
I heard of this railroad that ventures underground[00:03:18]
And takes my kind of people[00:03:21]
To a place that we can't be found[00:03:22]
And I been wounded for some miles,[00:03:24]
So I decided to rest my head[00:03:26]
I guess they let me go cause[00:03:28]
They assumed that I was dead"[00:03:30]
Smiled and said[00:03:31]
"Son hop in this wagon and get settled"[00:03:32]
He offered me a ride and drove me[00:03:35]
Far away from my oppressor, forever[00:03:36]
Guess I was on road[00:03:38]
Didn't know which way to go[00:03:41]
I think I hear a praying man coming[00:03:44]
A praying man coming[00:03:47]
Sometimes I couldn't read the signs[00:03:50]
My people done left me behind[00:03:54]
I think I hear a praying man coming[00:03:56]
I think I hear a praying man coming[00:04:03]
