[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Times like this, I go [?] [0:05]
Yeah, I go play [?] [0:08], go and find it
[Verse 1]
Back when I was tryna put my dawgs on
(Tryna put my dawgs, yeah, yeah)
Money low, goin' 'til the wheels fall off
('Til the wheels fall, yeah, yeah)
When I was down, didn't have no one to call on (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh), yeah
How can I hate when I tell you that it's all love?
You know I tell you that's its all love
Yeah, things got real, I had to cool off
Federale pull up when we do nothing
Mama say, "Don't forget to use your medulla
'Cause the world that we live in ain't too loving" (Nah)
[Chorus]
I'm just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)
Everything gon' be alright (Right, right, right, right)
I'm just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)
Everything gon' be alright (Right, right, right)
[Verse 2]
Back when I was chilling in the Congo
I tell you places that you can't go
Getting money, getting mbongo
Now I gotta pull up on another city
Just to make a little money for the cash flow
24/7 on the road now
Baby told me that I need to cool down
I been moving too fast, been moving too fast
[Pre-Chorus]
I been moving too fast now
I don't wanna live no fast life
She told me that she wanna tag along
I don't know what that's like
[Chorus]
I'm just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)
Everything gon' be alright
I'm just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)
Everything gon' be alright (Right, right, right)
[Verse 3]
Look, rap 'cause they wanna hear this
Yeah, show you what you really missing
When I tap into the higher spirits
I let go of the pain and the fear of dying, know I'm on a mission
See, they try and count me out, but I prefer the distance
Coast to coast, I'm really dippin'
In a pool of my own
Can't name this, tame this, play this in your playlist
Tired of the same messages they're telling our kids
Black boys gotta live
Black girls been the reason, the only reason I'm here
The crowd cheer when you're down on your luck
This for my people been supportin' since the polaroid shots
We still here, I seen the world, I had a girl, I been back to the block
Sometimes you gotta bring the value back to the, uh
Bring the value back to the block, yeah, it's all for the love
Uh, but that's all that I got
[Chorus]
I'm just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)
Everything gon' be alright (Right, right, right, right)
I'm just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)
Everything gon' be alright
[Pre-Chorus]
I been moving too fast now
I don't wanna live no fast life
She told me that she wanna tag along
I don't know what that's like
[Chorus]
I'm just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)
Everything gon' be alright
I'm just praying that we get by, get by (I said we pray this every night)
Everything gon' be alright
[Outro]
I'm just praying that we get by, get by (Get by)
I'm just praying that we get by, get by, get by (Get by, get by)
Oh
