Anti-Lilly & Phoniks
Loose Prayers
[Verse 1: Anti-Lilly]
They steady asking when yo time comin
"N***a, what you waiting on?"
I check the watch on my wrist, the seconds pacing
5:29 P.M. I crack a smile cause 5:30 on the way, eh
Losing my balance, made it through another day
Man, I've been faking on a lot of shit
Ain't been as happy as I should
Been running through the woods in my mind
Time after time, I lose myself
Hitting trees, tryna make something good up out my situation
Quit that is something I never could
I pray for sunshine, think bout my angels in the clouds
From the skies where the rain be comin' down on my life
Dark come before the dawn
Can't tell my days from the night
It's all a maze, see I've been going through changes
Don't know what phase I'm in
Close my hands and shed a tear before I say Amen
Faith with no works is dead, before the grind I pray again
Don't know who down for me
My own brother fucked me over
Stabbed me in my back then got the fuck from round from me
Like who I trust out here, friends is foes
Family hoe me on occasion
Like where the fuck do I go?
Oh, my woman love me but she gets my worst
And she deserve better
Cause she been riding for me through whatever
Put her hand on my chest told me baby it's goin' get better, oh
She motivate me to get my shit so together and
Hard times don't last long, n***a, but life don't neither
This for them times where I felt like I don't need either
[Hook: Anti-Lilly]
I promise one day that imma make it out of here
Sinning every day I'm living like you ain't there
Sending these loose prayers
Me and these loose prayers
My momma told me lay all my problems by the Lord
Poppa told me problems I something I gotta wear
I'm sending loose prayers, uh
I'm sending loose prayers
[Verse 2: LC]
I say: "nam myoho renge kyo", Prepare your soul for war
Chanting these evil spirituals, spiritually I'm evolved
They say they stand for Ya but keep everything but the Lord
They took his name out the bible and replaced it with God
And I've been writing prayers on this loose leaf
Praying that Lucifer lose me
Because this noose only boost me to speak the real
And until we seek the health, we will never be healed
And I find it to be the reason our saviour was killed
I see a lot of folks at church but can't quote no scriptures
Can't trust the pastor, in my eyes he just a hopeless n***a
Cause he ain't healin', he just here to help us cope with sinning
Revoke the system, back against the wall I know that feeling
Say you ain't got your fringes on but you keep the Lord
And all that sinning in your booth ain't help you speak to ya
And Deuteronomy 31:6 tell me don't fear
Cause He here if I ever need to talk
So I'm sending loose prayers
[Hook: Anti-Lilly]
I promise one day that imma make it out of here
Sinning every day I'm living like you ain't there
Sending these loose prayers, me and these loose prayers
My momma told me lay all my problems by the Lord
Poppa told me problems I something I gotta wear
I'm sending loose prayers, uh
I'm sending loose prayers
