Trae tha Truth
Dayz I Prayed
[Intro]
Call my name (Hey)
So sweet and plain
But now you're gone and the
Pain comes back again
And I find

[Chorus: Trae tha Truth]
Days I prayed when nights were cold
Nowhere to go but still I roll
Too many lights, it take it's toll
So I stay below, just played my role
Days I prayed when nights were cold
Nowhere to go but still I roll
Too many lights, it take it's toll
So I stay below, just played my role

[Post-Chorus: Trae tha Truth]
Stay in your place 'cause I cannot fake it, I would not hide it, no
Father forgive me, I know I'm sinnin', I was just tryna grow
Swear they were shady, played me for crazy, thinkin' my eyes were closed
Thought they was family, I ain't deserve how they tried to play me low
Stay in your place 'cause I cannot fake it, I would not hide it, no
Father forgive me, I know I'm sinnin', I was just tryna grow
Swear they were shady, played me for crazy, thinkin' my eyes were closed
Thought they was family, I ain't deserve how they tried to play me low
[Verse 1: Trae tha Truth]
They know what it is when I spot 'em
They told me I'll stay at the bottom
I give it to all of my people
I want 'em to know that I got 'em
Don't matter the weight on my shoulder
I stay on call like a motor
I'ma be here when it's over
Don't matter the fight, I'm a soldier

[Chorus: Trae tha Truth]
Days I prayed when nights were cold
Nowhere to go but still I roll
Too many lights, it take it's toll
So I stay below, just played my role
Days I prayed when nights were cold
Nowhere to go but still I roll
Too many lights, it take it's toll
So I stay below, just played my role

[Post-Chorus: Trae tha Truth]
Stay in your place 'cause I cannot fake it, I would not hide it, no
Father forgive me, I know I'm sinnin', I was just tryna grow
Swear they were shady, played me for crazy, thinkin' my eyes were closed
Thought they was family, I ain't deserve how they tried to play me low
Stay in your place 'cause I cannot fake it, I would not hide it, no
Father forgive me, I know I'm sinnin', I was just tryna grow
Swear they were shady, played me for crazy, thinkin' my eyes were closed
Thought they was family, I ain't deserve how they tried to play me low
[Verse 2: Trae tha Truth]
Yeah, too many times I felt left out
I was looking for help and nobody Helped out
Soon as they got they brick, damn, they crept out
It was under they rug and got swept out
I only did it for love but wasn't nothin' there
I been a one man team, nobody playing fair
They way they left me alone, tell 'em I couldn't care
I know the Devil is workin', somebody say a prayer
I was sick time and time, the same thing
Never mention king, give Truth the same name
Over twenty years the heat, the same flame
Tell 'em they be in but leave the same game
All these days I prayed I'd get a fair shot
These n***as ten-on-one, can't get a fair block
Hustled all my life, can't get a fair spot
Off the top, they time off like rare clocks

[Chorus: Trae tha Truth]
Days I prayed when nights were cold
Nowhere to go but still I roll
Too many lights, it take it's toll
So I stay below, just played my role
Days I prayed when nights were cold
Nowhere to go but still I roll
Too many lights, it take it's toll
So I stay below, just played my role
[Post-Chorus: Trae tha Truth]
Stay in your place 'cause I cannot fake it, I would not hide it, no
Father forgive me, I know I'm sinnin', I was just tryna grow
Swear they were shady, played me for crazy, thinkin' my eyes were closed
Thought they was family, I ain't deserve how they tried to play me low
Stay in your place 'cause I cannot fake it, I would not hide it, no
Father forgive me, I know I'm sinnin', I was just tryna grow
Swear they were shady, played me for crazy, thinkin' my eyes were closed
Thought they was family, I ain't deserve how they tried to play me low
