Better Way
Prayers for a Harmonious Journey
Lyrics
In 89 they threw me under the water
Reflecting on a past experience where he felt overwhelmed or submerged, possibly symbolizing a challenging or difficult situation.
In the name of the Holy Spirit, Son, and the Father
Referencing a religious initiation or baptism, seeking guidance and support from the divine.
From this day forward I would always have a partner
Committing to having a constant companion or support system henceforth.
Someone to lean on as the times got harder
Having someone to rely on during tough times.
But as the days got darker
As time progressed, challenges became more intense and troubling.
I began to question everything I was a part of
Beginning to question the nature and purpose of his involvement in certain aspects of life.
Why the preacher always driving something so nice
Questioning the material possessions of religious figures.
And why the leader of the choir ain’t got no wife
Noting contradictions or discrepancies in the conduct of religious leaders.
So many things that didn’t flow right
Observing inconsistencies or things that didn't align properly.
The ones who loved the most high always be the lowlifes
Expressing disillusionment with the fact that those most devoted to spirituality sometimes live less morally.
So I expanded on my own route
Choosing to forge his own path separate from conventional norms.
Read The Final Call, saw what Farakah was talking bout
Finding resonance with certain ideologies after exploring alternative perspectives.
When I first quit pork it made my mother shout
Causing concern or disapproval from family due to personal choices, like abstaining from certain foods for religious reasons.
Did miss pepperoni, yo no doubt
Acknowledging a craving for something relinquished for personal beliefs.
But I held strong, I was so devout
Staying steadfast and resolute in his convictions despite temptations.
A little man trying figure it all out
Describing himself as a small individual navigating life's complexities.
I pray for love, I pray for peace
Expressing prayers for various aspects of humanity, including love, peace, marginalized people, personal struggles, societal issues, and the collective pursuit of improvement.
I pray for you, I pray for me
-I pray for the living, I pray for the deceased
-I pray for the people that’s living in the streets
-I pray for my friends, pray for my enemies
-I pray for free healthcare and clean energy
-Cause this my prayer, I say it every day
-I pray for patience while we working towards a better way
-Been around the world, traveled many oceans
Describing a diverse spiritual journey encompassing various beliefs, practices, and ideologies, emphasizing an open-minded approach to spirituality and a belief in coexistence and environmental stewardship.
I kept a clear heart and my mind open
-Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines
-One with nature, one with the divine
-Find your god, find your peace
-Find your truth and your beliefs
-Weather you believe in God or the tooth fairy
-Bump Brother Ali or watch Tyler Perry
-Me, I grew up inside the Baptist church
-But I still do yoga because I think it works
-I believe in ancient aliens and in Jesus
-I believe in helping mother Earth cause she needs us
-I believe in understanding and tolerance
-I believe in government without the politics
-I believe you shouldn’t place your faith in one man
-And remember the creator has a master plan
-I pray for love, I pray for peace
Reiterating prayers for patience during the ongoing pursuit of a better world.
I pray for you, I pray for me

-Cause this my prayer, I say it every day
-I pray for patience while we working towards a better way
