[Refrain: Lecrae]

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray

Every day, every day, every day, every day

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray

Every day, every day, every day, every day

Take me up, take me up, take me up

Take me up, take me up

Take me up, take me up, take me up

Take me up, take me up (Yeah)

Take me up (Huh)

[Verse 1: Lecrae]

I remember when we hit the block

Selling candy tryna make a knot

Riding bikes up to the corner shop

Now we older and you end up locked up

All of your kids getting bigger

They missing they daddy, they wish you was with 'em

I talk to your mama, she told me don't give up

And pray for her son, 'cause she ain't raise no quitter

I wish I could run it back

I would tell us our daddies ain't coming back

I would tell us if we stick together then we can do anything

We got each other's back

Lost my cousin, I cry every summer now

I beat all of my cases, I wonder how

If it wasn't for God in my life, I'd be wearing them stripes

I'd be laying up underground, yeah

[Chorus: WHATUPRG]

Mm, been a long time waiting on an answer

Been a long time praying with my hands up

Won't You come through? Father, come through

Won't You come through? Father, come through

[Refrain: Lecrae]

Take me up, take me up

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)

Every day, every day, every day (Take me up)

And we pray, and we pray, take me up (Take me up)

Take me up, take me up

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)

Every day, every day, every day (Take me up)

And we pray, and we pray, take me up (Take me up)

Take me up, take me up

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)

Every day, every day, every day (Take me up)

And we pray, and we pray, take me up (Take me up)

Take me up, take me up

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)

Every day, every day, every day

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray

[Verse 2: Lecrae]

Can't be mad at us, if you add it up

Everything we been through, we still managing

Used to drink every night just to handle it

Losing sleep every night from the damages

I was popping them pills in Decatur

Scrolling online and responding to haters

Came from the trenches, no handouts, no favors

Lay awake close hopin' we get 'em later

Hating on me, devil preying on me

Everybody dying, it was weighing on me

Lot of power in me, lot of pain on me

I thank God for people who was praying for me

And we was struggling, tryna pay the rent

Taking losses, trying to get a win

Praying, fighting, through the hardest years

Took a minute, but we made it here

[Chorus: WHATUPRG]

Mm, been a long time waiting on an answer

Been a long time praying with my hands up

Won't You come through? Father, come through

Won't You come through? Father, come through

[Refrain: Lecrae]

Take me up, take me up

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)

Every day, every day, every day (Take me up)

And we pray, and we pray, take me up (Take me up)

Take me up, take me up

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)

Every day, every day, every day (Take me up)

And we pray, and we pray, take me up (Take me up)

Take me up, take me up

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)

Every day, every day, every day (Take me up)

And we pray, and we pray, take me up (Take me up)

Take me up, take me up

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)

Every day, every day, every day

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)

[Interlude: Lecrae]

Yeah, yeah, uh (Take me up)

Yeah, uh (Take me up), yeah, yeah, yeah

Uh, yeah, uh (Take me up), yeah

Uh (Take me up), yeah, yeah

[Outro]

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray

Every day, every day, every day, every day

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray

Every day, every day, every day
