[Verse 1]
Got a heart full of hope and mouth full of gold
And a plot to hold the whole wide globe
And a plot with 40 acres and a rolls
All from the pain that I turned into quotes
Never really had any doubts that we'd take it
To the very edge of the cliff that we on
Given them a hit of the high then we off
To whatever city is up next
The danger is though
You meet with those
Trying to break the bread before the laid the yeast
Give a fuck about a man with a hand full of doh
This here is patty cake to me
I figure I'd get it first, reverse the rules
Cause those perks are cool, but that life is tipsy
I'm in it to win, in it to write this history
I'm in it to bare every bit of light that's in my
[Chorus]
What you prayin' for?
(What you prayin' for!)
What you prayin' for?
(What you prayin' for!)
What you been prayin' for? My life is good they'll never know
What you been prayin' for? My life is good, does heaven know?
[Verse 2]
Kick up the dust, stick out with that fist up
Reach up the sky pick out the big dipper
Say it out loud, play it out loud til they
Got em' up high like they stuck in a stick up
Some settle for the day to mundane
And opted out for that plan b package
Some pray to get rich and pack
And some run up in this bitch with a black ski mask like
"either make a move or you face down fucka!"
Either play to death or best you take cover
Either break bread or taste your last supper
Either bulls-eye or they circling aimless
Ain't no such thing as half -way kings
Ain't no comin' back from beneath that surface
Either we bet it all and beat all of the odds
Or either we kamikaze up out of here and body the purpose
[Chorus]
What you prayin' for?
(What you prayin' for!)
What you prayin' for?
(What you prayin' for!)
What you been prayin' for? My life is good they'll never know
What you been prayin' for? My life is good, does heaven know?
[Bridge]
Reach up so high that we can fall
Into the arms of those that would believe
Build up that place that we could call
Paradise that you and I could leave
Only you and I know
Only you and I
Only you and I know
Only you and I
Only you and I know
Only you and I
Only you and I know
Only you and I
[Chorus]
What you prayin' for?
(What you prayin' for!)
What you prayin' for?
(What you prayin' for!)
What you been prayin' for? My life is good they'll never know
What you been prayin' for? My life is good, does heaven know?
