Tell me how am I supposed to pray
When that's what I am everyday, prey
Wanted by the man with a gun in his hand
Aimed straight at a man who can't
Understand all his actions
Beef is RAW, WAR is backwards
Even more disaster, how the Lord let all this happen?
I should go on my knees and ask Him
I try to keep myself from snappin, I have to
Go slave for my bachelors, and get my masters
So one day, they'll take half of my check and call that taxes
Freeze up my assets after all these classes
Cause I can't pay back money from that FAFSA
That's about as real as it gets
Put your hands up if you're feeling like this
Though hope's at a distance
I embody persistence
Now I'm down on my knees
Because I need your assistance
Tried to go it alone
But Lord I wont make a difference
Can you please help me
Bet you never heard a flow so comforting
Say the words verbatim as they come to me
Make an image of the world that I want to see
Ask the Lord and the Devil what they want from me
My students tell me what they want to be
About their hopes and their dreams, and what's frustrating
They're counting on a nigga like 1, 2, 3
But these kids, they 'aint have the same luck as me
They only went to school 'cause the lunch was free
In the hood, in the ghetto, and the country
But they want to leave, I see it in their eyes
I believe that very drive is the reason I'm alive
There's purpose in the rhyme
Try to write a bar that'll free another mind
Dear Lord please give me more time
I lift my hands to sky
Though hope's at a distance
I embody persistence
Now I'm down on my knees
Because I need your assistance
Tried to go it alone
But Lord I wont make a difference
Can you please help me
Let em know what your purpose is
But don't forget whose earth this is
Let em know what your purpose is
But don't forget whose earth this is
Let em know what your purpose is
But don't forget whose earth this is
Let em know what your purpose is
But don't forget whose earth
Life can sometimes bring you down
But you never show it, just keep on going
Life can sometimes bring you down
But you never show it, just keep on going
Life can sometimes bring you down
But you never show it, just keep on going
Life can sometimes bring you down
But you never show it, just keep on going
