Kenan Eames - Prayers Lyrics

I will make of him a great nation...
Call me Ishmael I ain't killin' a whale
Sons of Abraham telling the tale of profits
Drinking from the well of knowledge tipping the scale
I'm just raising a vail just trying dodge heaven and hell
Find the balance In this world that we livin' in
Caught up in the swell the current keep on drifting in
By the coast coastin'
I'm lost but I'm open
I find the wave then I ride it feeling emotions I get
Lost in these lyrics I spit yeah I'm feeling this
Kicking game to the little homies yeah they getting it quick
We gotta stop the ignorant shit
Each one teach one Ken Swift That Bboy shit
Zulu uh representing the clique the only nation representing the kids and the lesson is this
Fake friends can put an end to you quick
Marathon don't stop gotta a hustle for Nip, Slauson

Listen, Be wary of the peace makers, they ain't all trying to save us, control yo fate
Yo, I avoid the Internet at times so I try to redefine the truth through the books I find
But I know that books lie sometimes so I try to lie in Find Mother Nature, nature don't lie
Wish I could live amongst the animals plants and shit
Damn I'm smoking grass kicking back laughing and shit
By myself reflecting on life understanding my motivation what I do on this Mic
So I try to find this truth and the light imma never stop doing what's right

Mama forgive me if I die young Why do all the legends gotta die young
This is Gods work yeah the godson, father God forgive me for my sins we all got some
We all got something to give yo we got love
You gotta give it to get it give to those who got none
Give it all in this life give until you got none nothing left
The limit I ain't got none, God damn they killing us all
He unarmed and they shot em? F*ck That!
We got to change this they killing us aimless they shameless rearrange the racist
They fear our greatness so they changed us and locked us in cages
Fast forward they take away our rights and lower our wages?
Single mothers grinding on minimum wages
I paint this picture so our pain lift
From the gutter scrapin' concrete rolling through heaven and pavement
Life wouldn't be life if it was painless
I painted this picture with patience this shit took 27 years in the makin'
Bitch...
