Lyrics:

[English]

They never knew my struggle

Rose above the rubble

Rather live inside their bubble

Than go through the trouble

Of having their double double vision corrected

They just neglect it, and

I've been thinking lately

Will the Devil take me, or will God protect me?

I know I ain't perfect, but you should respect me

They don't want me happy

They don't wanna let me live

I'm young and I'm foolish

I make bad decisions

I block out the news

Turn my back on religion

Don't have no degree

I'm somewhat naïve

I have made it this far on my own

But lately, that shit ain't been getting me higher

I lift up my head and the world is on fire

There's dread in my heart

And fear in my bones

I just don't know what to say

Maybe I'll pray

Pray

Maybe I'll pray

I have never believed in You, no

But I'm gonna pray

...

I am me, I'm a man

I'm a sinner but understand

Aren't we all?

So when it comes to passing judgments

I don't think that you're the one to make the call

Heaven want to cast me out for being me

I know there's others like me there to break the fall

I know you hater motherfuckers just can't relate at all

If I'm the first one to the line, that's fine, I'll take it all

But Logic, he gon' let 'em know

I ain't perfect, but I'm worth it

I'm alive, I deserve it

I've been praying, I ain't playing

I don't think you hear the words that I'm saying

I don't think you know the weight on my shoulders

That gets heavier as I get older

Calling anybody

Calling anybody, can you hear me?

I pray that you hear me

I pray that you hear me

Maybe I'll pray (Lord)

Pray

Maybe I'll pray (Lord)

I've never believed in You, no

But I'm gonna...

Won't you call me?

Can we have a one-on-one, please?

Let's talk about freedom

Everyone prays in the end

Everyone prays in the end

Oh, won't you call me?

Can we have a one-on-one, please?

Let's talk about freedom

Everyone prays in the end

Everyone prays in the end

Oh, I'm gonna pray

I'm gonna pray

I'm gonna pray

...

Pray for a glimmer of hope

Maybe I'll pray

...

Pray

...

Maybe I'll pray

I've never believed in You, no

But I'm gonna pray

...
