Specifics of the pain made me grab up a nigga

Want to shake him because we can’t shake this feeling of inferior

Hopping on the train with cocaine scent interior

Inhaling death for fear of intellect to interject

In conversation small talk with giants if I intercept

The key to make it out this rabbit-hole so we can live again

I’m going for the gold so we can benefit

Fighting for my people why not I’m still a warrior

Turn the front page to the story of the glorious

Home bred foreigner object of the coroner

As I lay me down to sleep

I pray I get my soul to keep

I pray I’m never weak

I pray they keep me banging in they jeeps and feel this fire when it’s underneath they feet

I pray I make it

I pray I never feel defeat

Guide me when I’m walking in these streets

I know that I’m elite I pray you keep me focused on the prize

Feed my family with this gift while I’m alive

I pray I make it

My mama made me for greatness so I’m allergic to the fakeness

Pops geared me for war so on the line I’m going ape shit

Had to roam around and get my confidence back

Because a couple years ago this would’ve been an empty statement

You treat me like the savior all the pressure on my back

Tryna reach a generation with this clever shit I rap

Until I bomb like its Iraq now it’s the mirror with the pieces

Tryna pick em up while they out here moving with they strap

They screaming no cap but ain’t no gown either

After he caught a charge for that weapon and was the ringleader

His hood loved him but his soul destroyed

Was preaching product of the ghetto with metal now he the poster boy

I’m fighting just to break a cycle

Running a race cuz I was made just like you I was the main disciple

But niggas said I had a chance and told me not to blow it

Now I’m grateful for my chance to show it

Race

Reiteration of the prayer for success, strength, guidance, and the ability to provide for family with the unique talent or "gift."

I pray I get my soul to keep

I pray I’m never weak

I pray they keep me banging in they jeeps and feel this fire when it’s underneath they feet

I pray I make it

I pray I never feel defeat

Guide me when I’m walking in these streets

I know that I’m elite I pray you keep me focused on the prize

Feed my family with this gift while I’m alive

I pray I make it
