[Intro: Steve Walsh]
I pulled my shades to see the day
After sleeping way past noon
An ache inside my head was burnin'
The sky was gloomy, full of grey
And I knew I'd woke too soon
But far too late to be returning

[Chorus: Mavado]
Oh Jah please be my shield when my enemies fire
Jah please answer to my ghetto prayer
Jah please be my shield when my enemies fire
Jah please answer to my ghetto prayer, yeah

[Verse 1: French Montana]
Gone to the graves so I make a visit
Problem after problem that was staying busy
Fuck all you haters, fuck my baby momma
Fuck you n***as snitching, fuck your code of honor
N***as nagging got my own problems
Made my own comments, time to get on and spend my own dollars
Start to finish a couple killers strictly business
Life at odds bad bitches caught a million calls
American dream came through the block in that thing
N***as was fiening
You know I'm a rider
Ducking and weaving
The gun is my shield
I stop you from breathing
[Chorus: Mavado]
Oh Jah please be my shield when my enemies fire
Jah please answer to my ghetto prayer
Jah please be my shield when my enemies fire
Jah please answer to my ghetto prayer, yeah

[Verse 2: French Montana]
First I got the deal then my n***a lost appeal
Spent a hundred on the watch whole time making mill's
You scaring who? Clear ice blurred view
Bitch I'm sharing you let the other n***a marry you
Penthouse 3 floors ain't no clear view
Back blocks head-shot yeah n***a where was you?
Start up money now I'm on call up money
Never took a dollar for me
Real n***a slaughter for me
Look at stars feeling closer to God
Get bent roll one for my dogs
Hustling was a job
N***a you ask for it
Stamps on your passport
Work on the scale boy
Price on your head boy

[Chorus: Mavado (& French Montana)]
Oh Jah please be my shield when my enemies fire
Jah please answer to my ghetto prayer
Jah please be my shield when my enemies fire
Jah please answer to my ghetto prayer (Montana)
Oh Jah please be my shield when my enemies (yeah) fire (haan)
Jah please answer to my ghetto prayer (wow, "Pray for me" tatted on my neck)
Jah please be my shield when my enemies fire
Jah please answer to my (haan, wow) ghetto prayer
[Outro: French Montana]
American dreaming (haan), came in with an I-20 visa
Hit the streets up (haan)
