Hood Prayers

Thank you for saving

me Yeah,

from the pavement to the promise {slow 808 build-up} He loved me,

pulled me out the deep end Brought me out the hood when

my life was sinking

Now I'm praying for my brothers on the weekend

Hood prayers up to heaven while they sleeping (yeah) {heavy sliding 808

bass} Hood prayers going up,

blessings coming down He turned my whole life,

whole world around Praying for the streets,

praying for the block Keep 'em safe from the storm,

solid on the rock

{choir swelling} Used to hear the sirens,

now I hear the choir He pulled me out the mud,

set my soul on fire [Verse 2] Look at where I started,

look at where I stand

Holding to the promise,

kept inside His hand {snare rolls} For my friends on the corner,

I'm praying for peace [Verse 4] Let the chains be broken,

let the struggle cease [Verse 5] I remember the cold nights,

searching for the light

[Verse 6] Now He got me walking by faith not by sight

{intense

808

drop} Every single block,

yeah I know the pain [Verse 8] But He washed my soul,

washed away the stain [Verse 9] So I gotta lift 'em,

carry 'em in prayer

[Verse 10] Tell 'em there is hope,

He is always there

{soaring synth lead} From the corner store

to the golden gate

[Verse 12] He made a way for me,

erased the hate (thank you Lord)

{dramatic dynamic dip} He loved me,

pulled me out the deep end

Brought me out the hood when my life was sinking

Now I'm praying for my brothers on the weekend Hood prayers up

to heaven while they sleeping

(ooh yeah) {full aggressive beat drop}

Hood prayers rising... Keep 'em safe.

Amen. {music fades to

quiet organ}
