[Intro]

Yeah, from hills high in heaven

To Psalms 27

It's that gospel

Take my word for it

Ah, check, listen


[Verse 1]

You see the music biz is like the devil's games

So if you play then you might adopt the devil's ways

It's an eye for an eye, a tooth's the same

I'm tired of everybody taking shots at my name

I'm just shooting for my targets

Look if you've been shooting yourself in the foot, don't hold me hostage

Making what doesn't sell

Then you're complaining when it doesn't sell

Now with that off my chest I'mma hope for the best

I'm never going back to the press, though they wanna see me stressed

Counting money and staying relevant

Made me know the difference between family and relatives

I beg the Lord show me a path

Snakes are in my bloodline, and in my grass

Stopped talking to my marge, cut my family in half

If you reap what you sow, let me break my own heart

Come on


[Chorus]

Pray for me

Yeah, please take me to a level only Heaven is above

Pray for me

Yeah, for I have sinned in my past still Heaven is a must

Pray for me, yeah

With the world on my shoulders, I bench-press the game

Pray for me, yeah

You know the Lord is my Shepherd so I can't be afraid


[Verse 2]

Pray for me I need it, the good in me is leaking

I only bought this pendant so they can see Jesus

To show what I believe in, shit's getting strange

The little change I've made has got them questioning my faith

My vision's strange when they negatively name me

I see low, does that make me crazy?

Suicidal tweets, can you blame me?

Like, look what success did to Amy

They couldn't work out my letters so they hung me

I've been fire alie, how could you bun me?

As I stay afloat, it's titanic for 'em

My confidence is made of titanium

I told everybody I'm the savior

Special like I'm born in a manger, major

Born to succeed, who's as humble as me

As long as I got an arm, I wear my heart on my sleeve

Come on


[Chorus]

Pray for me

Yeah, please take me to a level only Heaven is above

Pray for me

Yeah, for I have sinned in my past still Heaven is a must

Pray for me, yeah

With the world on my shoulders, I bench-press the game

Pray for me, yeah

You know the Lord is my Shepherd so I can't be afraid


[Bridge]

Looking back like, look what the deal did?

Still with the same circle and I'm still Chip

That's why who I share my last pound with

Is the same people that I share a meal with

Six zero's in my last mill with

Bread and wine, last supper on some real shit

The prayer's been sent, now we're ready

All Judas' has been removed already

Let's roll


[Hook]

Pray for me

Yeah, please take me to a level only Heaven is above

Pray for me

Yeah, for I have sinned in my past still Heaven is a must

Pray for me, yeah

With the world on my shoulders, I bench-press the game

Pray for me, yeah

You know the Lord is my Shepherd so I can't be afraid

Pray for me

Pray for me

Pray for me, yeah

Pray for me, yeah


[Verse 3]

Tell my chick don't leave me now, tell my feet don't fail me now

It's too late I'm in front of this crowd

When you see me bow

I'll drown in my own sweat before they take me out

Take the jewels, take the fame

Take the buzz, take the name but the talent still remains

And tell a hater change the plan

I tell the label, drop me you still won’t reach me where I land

Piss off, this ain't a big track

This is C-4 gift wrapped, I reply to every diss track

Back from the future, you plums

Thanks in advance for the apologies to come

I'm sick trust me

Eat a plate of fame and vomit, still reppin' for the hungry

Heads shots with success bullets

More Mobo's, Brits and Grammy's before I pull it

Believe mate, the flow's tight but the jeans ain't

You can't compromise these days

I opened doors and took the blame for it

'Bout time I do me and get paid for it


[Outro]

So fuck a marketing plan

I'm light skinned and I can smile, come and market me man

Pray for me and play your position

I evidently made a transition
