DMX - Prayer (Skit)(2007)

[00:00.30] I come to you hungry and tired, you give me food and let me sleep
[00:07.42] I come to you weak, you give me strength and that's deep
[00:13.82] You call me a sheep and lead me to green pastures
[00:17.75] Only asking that I keep the focus in between the chapters
[00:22.52] You give me the word and only ask that I interpret it
[00:28.16] And give me the eyes that I may recognize the serpent
[00:33.30] You know I ain't perfect, but you'd like me to try
[00:38.39] Unlike the devil who just wants me to lie, 'til I die
[00:42.95] Lord, why is it that I go through so much pain?
[00:47.78] All I saw was black, all I felt was rain
[00:52.29] I come to you because it's you who knows
[00:55.95] You showed me that everything was black because my eyes were closed
[01:01.24] You gave me the light and let me bask in your glory
[01:06.24] So, it was only right that when you ask for this story
[01:11.14] I put it together to do our dogs some good
[01:15.84] Our dogs being brothers and sisters in the hood
[01:20.58] Plenty of times you sent help my way, but I hid
[01:25.74] And I remember once you held me close, but I slid
[01:30.81] There was something that I just had to see
[01:33.97] That you wanted me to see so I can be what you wanted me to be
[01:38.72] And I think I've seen it, but I don't feel the same
[01:43.62] Matter of fact, I know I've seen it, I can feel the change
[01:47.64] And it's strange, almost got me beating down your door
[01:51.36] But I have never known a love like this before
[01:54.57] It's a wonderful feeling to get away from the pain
[01:57.69] And up under the ceiling I get away from the rain
[02:01.08] And the strain that I feel when I'm here is gone
[02:04.42] I know real so I wipe away the tears; it's on
[02:08.12] And I almost lost faith when you took my men
[02:11.48] Monty, Paso, and Jay's brother Dan
[02:14.88] And I fear that what I'm saying won't be heard until I'm gone
[02:17.60] But it's all good, 'cause I really didn't expect to live long
[02:22.61] So, if it takes for me to suffer, for my brother to see the light
[02:27.47] Give me pain 'til I die, but please, Lord, treat him right
[02:31.13]
