Watch and Pray Lyrics

Watch and pray watch and pray

Thank the Lord for another day

Watch and pray watch and pray

Thank the Lord for another day

You don't get to choose greatness it chooses you

Sometime what we wanted most we have to lose

Paid the dues to sing these motherfucking blues

Hopefully the air at the top can soothe

My withering soul from a world too cold

If there was any good in man my son would be 15 years old

All that glitters isn't gold

But under the weight the least of us fold

The devil latches onto everything we hold dear

Empty souls from what their fucking hearts stole

Now the world is gonna pay back what was owed

I don't need a blimp to tell me the world is mine

Shoot it down anyway read it when I have the motherfucking time

Watch and pray watch and pray

I'm trying not to just go my own way

Making sure everything's OK

Thank the Lord for another day

No longer the person I was before

Used to think I was the devil to the core

Never forgetting always kept score

Until the day I heard somebody knocking on my door

Lonely was my companion through my youth

Sneaking out of my friend's house smoking on the roof

Drinking 80 Proof

And if we couldn't afford the shit we made a run or two

Like that seven-Eleven the day I turned 22

See you in heaven one day but today, fuck you too

Felt like we knew the Truth

Blind leading the blind missing eye for tooth

Steal and lie to Jew

Motherfuckers out of their last dollar or two

Get a scratcher to lose

That was the LA crew that I knew

Watch and pray watch and pray

I'm trying not to just go my own way

Making sure everything's OK

Thank the Lord for another day

No longer the person I was before

Used to think I was the devil to the core

Never forgetting always kept score

Until the day I heard somebody knocking on my door

Drive along the old streets that I knew

Things we been through

Thank God at least I kept it true

Lakers jerseys Dodger blue

Angels in red violence aloof

Drink the bitches brew

Drink the bitches brew

People in line for methadone not soup

Wine of wrath read from Genesis to Revelations 22

Whatever happens from here on out

Believe it and it's true, believe it and it's true

Been fighting since the womb

Devil, make some room

Hung by my umbilical cord

First, I saw the tomb

Before the light

Before the sunrise

Before anybody gave a fuck about why I'm alive

So lonely won't leave me alone

Got no happy home

Sometimes I just want to put the chrome

Life has shown to be so unfair, you know

What was once Solomon's Temple gone to Babylon

Spent all of my days for a fucking forgone tomorrow

Yet I'm still broke and my life still full of sorrow

I begged, stole, and I borrowed

Couldn't duck one-time so I've become another lost soul

And even though I tried hard

The devil tried harder also

Watch and pray watch and pray

I'm trying not to just go my own way

Making sure everything's OK

Thank the Lord for another day

No longer the person I was before

Used to think I was the devil to the core

Never forgetting always kept score

Until the day I heard somebody knocking on my door
