[Intro]

I can't even lie

I know I didn't do it on my own, yeah

[Chorus]

I'm just tryna be the best man I could be

Thank God that I had these praying hands over me

Probably would've never made it off from the street

Thank God that I had these praying hands over me

Praying hands over me (Over me)

Praying hands over me, praying hands over me (Over me)

Praying hands over me (Over me)

Praying hands over me, praying hands over me, praying hands over me

[Verse 1]

Watching my back, I don't know who to trust

[?] my circle, it's no one but us

Tint on my windows, [?]

[?]

Look in the mirror, stare at your face

Do you see real, do you see faith?

Do you see love, do you see hate?

Do you see love, do you see faith?

Tell me what you see

[Hook]

As I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

And if I die before I will

I pray the Lord my soul is clean

I look up in the sky and say

I pray that I survive today

I swear I heard an angel

“We all protect it everyday”

Protected

[Chorus]

I'm just tryna be the best man I could be

Thank God that I had these praying hands over me

Probably would've never made it off from the street

Thank God that I had these praying hands over me (Protected)

Praying hands over me (Over me)

Praying hands over me, praying hands over me (And Lord I know)

Praying hands over me (Over me)

Praying hands over me, praying hands over me, praying hands over me

[Verse 2]

I used to want to lead a life, woo

Fancy cars and flashing lights, woo

Now I see it's all a lie, jealousy all in the eye, woo

Watching for the fakes to phone me

Judas he was Jesus' homie, most his girls all lead along him

Thousand people [?]

[Hook]

As I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

And if I die before I will

I pray the Lord my soul is clean

I look up in the sky and say

I pray that I survive today

I swear I heard an angel

“We all protect it everyday”

Protected

[Chorus]

I'm just tryna be the best man I could be

Thank God that I had these praying hands over me

Probably would've never made it off from the street

Thank God that I had these praying hands over me (Protected)

Praying hands over me (Over me)

Praying hands over me, praying hands over me (And Lord I know)

Praying hands over me (Over me)

Praying hands over me, praying hands over me, praying hands over me

[Bridge]

To anyone who ever sent up a prayer up for me

I wanna say thank you

It's the realest thing you can give me, yeah

To every angel, [?]

I wanna say thank you, yeah

Straight up

Protected, protected, protected

I'm not on my own, protected

Lord I know, protected

I know I wouldn't have made it on my own

Protected, protected

I'm not on my own

It's not me, protected

Protected, Lord I know

It's not me, protected

I know I wouldn't have made it on my own

[Chorus]

I'm just tryna be the best man I could be

Thank God that I had these praying hands over me

Probably would've never made it out of the deep

Thank God that I had these praying hands over me

Praying hands over me (Over me)

Praying hands over me, praying hands over me (Over me)

Praying hands over me (Over me)

Praying hands over me, praying hands over me, praying hands over me

[Outro]

I'm just tryna be the best man I could be

Thank God that I had these praying hands over me
