[Chorus]
Pray for the days that our mothers could be proud of us
Hold onto your love, 'cause this life can take it out of you
Fate keeps you straight on the days it's not so obvious
Some will say it's energy, some say it's the God in us
I don't really care about the book you chose to read
'Cause the only thing that matters is the message was received
Stay in a wait from the things that only bother us
I don't gotta rush

[Verse 1]
Off in the Uber, the ride ain't that smooth, yeah, I'm so weak
Before I make my ascent and have to repеnt at the pearly gates
I want my mama to say "That's my son", watch mе shine like I light the globe
I want my father to say I was right, man, I wish they got along, I wish they got along
But I pray for the day that I ain't just in my head
Got my weight in solid gold and I ain't holding no regrets
If I fail, at least I tried, that's way more than some can say
What's important's not the fortune, but not forfeiting the game, so I—

[Chorus]
Pray for the days that our mothers could be proud of us
Hold onto your love, 'cause this life can take it out of you
Fate keeps you straight on the days it's not so obvious
Some will say it's energy, some say it's the God in us
I don't really care about the book you chose to read
'Cause the only thing that matters is the message was received
Stay in a wait from the things that only bother us
I don't gotta rush
[Verse 2]
Pray for the day I won't cry no more
On my phone, I'm just home, eatin' Domino's
Life is so bizarre, tryna learn the things that I don't know
Reading books of audio, don't wanna swim in this pond no more
Hey, I heard a voice in my soul, don't got a guide on my own
Learnin' to take time with mine, funny the pain don't seem so
Far from safety, in hindsight, it's obvious
Starin' at the top until it's finally us

[Chorus]
Pray for the days that our mothers could be proud of us
Hold onto your love, 'cause this life can take it out of you
Fate keeps you straight on the days it's not so obvious
Some will say it's energy, some say it's the God in us
I don't really care about the book you chose to read
'Cause the only thing that matters is the message was received
Stay in a wait from the things that only bother us
I don't gotta rush
