ghetto prayer lyrics

{Master P prays in the background}

Our father, who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done

On earth, as it is in heaven

{spoken over prayer}

Hail Mary (Hail Mary) Hail Mary (Hail Mary)

Hail Mary (Hail Mary) Hail Mary..

Hail Mary..

Hail Mary (Hail Mary) Hail Mary..

{singing part comes in} + {Hail Mary spoken over}

Now I lay me down to sleep..

I pray the Lord.. my soul to keep..

and if I die before I wake..

I pray the Lord.. my soul to take..

(UNGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH)

[Master P]

Did I live my life as a killer, did I grow up with the thugs?

See I coulda been a doctor, instead I sold drugs

My best partner was bloated, probably live if he wasn't loaded

I got so many questions Lord, that's why I told it

That ida like mosquita, don't wanna be the beaver

But on judgement day, I know I wanna see ya

Momma pray for you baby {*echoes*}

See this ghetto got me crazy {*echoes*}

Lord help me don't slay me {*echoes*}

I'm just tryin to feed my babies {*echoes*}

In the world where it's phony, where your enemies be your homies

And Lord, won't ya be there when the Devil run up on me

{singing part comes in} + {Hail Mary spoken over}

Now I lay me down to sleep..

I pray the Lord.. my soul to keep..

and if I die before I wake..

I pray the Lord.. my soul to take..

[Magic]

Where do we go from here

Cause I want to see ? without a ounce of fear

Hopin that my time ain't near

Wishin that I'd NEVER seen my momma shed a tear

I've done so much wrong in my life, at night

I sleep with my eyes open, hopin

that the Reaper pass me by, I'm tryin to change

But my life's deranged

Jackin my own color for they rangs and change

Forgive me I was tryin to be a MAN

with this pistol in my hand

but took a forty-four, slug in my back

just to make me understand (my Lord)

So can I still be an angel?

Or on judgement day, will you treat me like a stranger?

{singing part comes in} + {Hail Mary spoken over}

Now I lay me down to sleep..

I pray the Lord.. my soul to keep..

and if I die before I wake..

I pray the Lord.. my soul to take..

{singing part}

Now I lay me down to sleep..

I pray the Lord.. my soul to keep..

and if I die before I wake..

I pray the Lord.. my soul to take..

Now I lay me down to sleep..

I pray the Lord.. my soul to keep..

and if I die before I wake..

I pray the Lord.. my soul to take..
