Teach Me How To Pray

I was in a recording studio a few weeks ago, and several young men, they were discussing

how hard it is to make it in the music business

They were all trying to become rap artists

And as I passed through, they were also discussing how hard it is to make it as young black males

When you're from the wrong side of town

And one looked at me and said, Mr. Williams, what do you do when you have problems

Well, I turned around and said, well, I pray about my problems

Well, this young man about 19 years old stood up and looked me right in the eyes

Then he asked me, will you teach me how to pray

Tell me what to say
