[Verse 1]

Eight millimeters

And microscopes

Fingers on the triggers

Aimed at my dome

They're gunnin' for me

With loaded tongues

Just tryin' to get home

Prodigal son

See, I'm not running

I'm in this fight

No, I'm not guilty

Hope the most high

Can see my heart is

In the right place

My hands are folded

My knees are bending when I say


[Chorus]

God

Help me make it

God

Can we make it?

God

When a sinner is praying

God

Will you hear it?

God

Help me make it

God

When the sinner is praying

God

Do you still hear it?

God

Help me make it


[Verse 2]

Living together

Make war not love

Fighting about money

We ain't got none

Our baby daughter

May not see five

This kind of hurt can't

Be justified

The girl's my bud and seed

With eyes like mine

And I can't wrap my mind

Around You taking love sometimes

I damn you then I quickly repent

Everybody's hoping

The end's not the beginning

My hands are folded

I hope you're listening


[Chorus]

God

Help me make it

God

Can we make it?

God

When the sinner is praying

God

Will you hear it?

God

Help me make it

God

When the sinner is praying

God

Do you still hear it?

God

Help me make it


[Bridge]

(Hold on)

Sinners prayer

I'm in the dark, I can't see the light

(Sinners prayer)

If you could change water to wine

(Hold on)

Sinners prayer

Lord, can you answer my prayer this time?

Is anybody out there? (Is anybody out there?)


[Outro]

Hold on

Hold on

This is my prayer for you

Hold on

Hold on

This is my prayer for you
