[Refrain: Lecrae]
And we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray
Every day, every day, every day, every day
And we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray
Every day, every day, every day, every day
Take me up, take me up, take me up
Take me up, take me up
Take me up, take me up, take me up
Take me up, take me up (Yeah)
Take me up (Huh)

[Verse 1: Lecrae]
I remember when we hit the block
Selling candy tryna make a knot
Riding bikes up to the corner shop
Now we older and you end up locked up
All of your kids getting bigger
They missing they daddy, they wish you was with 'em
I talk to your mama, she told me don't give up
And pray for her son, 'cause she ain't raise no quitter
I wish I could run it back
I would tell us our daddies ain't coming back
I would tell us if we stick together then we can do anything
We got each other's back
Lost my cousin, I cry every summer now
I beat all of my cases, I wonder how
If it wasn't for God in my life, I'd be wearing them stripes
I'd be laying up underground, yeah
[Chorus: WHATUPRG]
Mm, been a long time waiting on an answer
Been a long time praying with my hands up
Won't You come through? Father, come through
Won't You come through? Father, come through

[Refrain: Lecrae]
Take me up, take me up
And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)
Every day, every day, every day (Take me up)
And we pray, and we pray, take me up (Take me up)
Take me up, take me up
And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)
Every day, every day, every day (Take me up)
And we pray, and we pray, take me up (Take me up)
Take me up, take me up
And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)
Every day, every day, every day (Take me up)
And we pray, and we pray, take me up (Take me up)
Take me up, take me up
And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)
Every day, every day, every day
And we pray, and we pray, and we pray

[Verse 2: Lecrae]
Can't be mad at us, if you add it up
Everything we been through, we still managing
Used to drink every night just to handle it
Losing sleep every night from the damages
I was popping them pills in Decatur
Scrolling online and responding to haters
Came from the trenches, no handouts, no favors
Lay awake close hopin' we get 'em later
Hating on me, devil preying on me
Everybody dying, it was weighing on me
Lot of power in me, lot of pain on me
I thank God for people who was praying for me
And we was struggling, tryna pay the rent
Taking losses, trying to get a win
Praying, fighting, through the hardest years
Took a minute, but we made it here
[Chorus: WHATUPRG]
Mm, been a long time waiting on an answer
Been a long time praying with my hands up
Won't You come through? Father, come through
Won't You come through? Father, come through

[Refrain: Lecrae]
Take me up, take me up
And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)
Every day, every day, every day (Take me up)
And we pray, and we pray, take me up (Take me up)
Take me up, take me up
And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)
Every day, every day, every day (Take me up)
And we pray, and we pray, take me up (Take me up)
Take me up, take me up
And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)
Every day, every day, every day (Take me up)
And we pray, and we pray, take me up (Take me up)
Take me up, take me up
And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)
Every day, every day, every day
And we pray, and we pray, and we pray (Take me up)
