M.O.G. ManOfGod - I Pray Lyrics

I'm on my knees before I go to sleep, yep I'm at the table before I start to eat
I pray and pray, I pray and pray, I pray and pray, I pray and pray, I pray
Seen mama in a casket, looking at her body, red flowers in a basket
I glanced at her face, I done blown the head gasket

I needed me some space, now I'm on my knees asking, I pray
Fear of the unknown, nowhere else to turn
I can't do this alone, pain so deep it burns
I pray, three in the morning, phone ringing off the hook

Now my daddy gone, and I stopped to take a look
In the sky im zoning, I guess that's what it took
The Lord broke me down and told me to pray
Losing my best friend, nothing left to show

Life is at an end, nowhere else to go
I pray, ah, what more can I do
Another kid gone, now they done shot him after school
You know that's dead wrong, mama crying on the news

Couldn't live in the house no more, so she moved to pray
Nothing left but memories, from the things we did
Crazy and those silly things, growing as a kid
I pray, ah, Tim call me crying

Late one night, he said cousin Floyd was dying
Cancer in his prostate, I knew he wasn't lying
Handed me an outdate, without even trying to pray
I'm on my knees before I go to sleep

Yep, I'm at the table before I start to eat
I pray and pray, and I pray and pray
I pray and pray, and I pray and pray
I'm on my knees before I go to sleep

Yep, I'm at the table before I start to eat
And I pray and pray, and I pray and pray
I pray and pray, and I pray and pray
Ah, sister she was sick

Had her own dialysis, but still she took a trip
Down in Atlanta around the time the COVID hit
It didn't really matter, Candy Call and said
That's it Darnell, Pray

Didn't get to live long before the time
I guess that's how it is, all done by design
I pray, ah, ended up a alcoholic
Almost lost my mind a couple times and couldn't talk about it

Only waist deep, but I'm still drowning in a bottle
Tossing, turning in my sleep, I heard a voice holler telling me to pray
