Hood Prayers

Thank you for saving

me Yeah,

from the pavement to the promise

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) 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

Used to hear the sirens,

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

set my soul on fire

Look at where I started,

look at where I stand

Holding to the promise,

kept inside His hand

For my friends on the corner,

I'm praying for peace

Let the chains be broken,

let the struggle cease I remember the cold nights,

searching for the light

Now He got me walking by faith not by sight

Every single block, yeah I know the pain

But He washed my soul,

washed away the stain So I gotta lift 'em,

carry 'em in prayer

Tell 'em there is hope,

He is always there

From the corner store

to the golden gate

He made a way for me,

erased the hate (thank you Lord)

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)

Hood prayers rising... Keep 'em safe.

Amen.
