Pray for me
‘Cause who’s out there that’s still praying for me
Only child of immigrants, pressure’s weighing on me
Mama on a bed of nails, I say lay it on me
|Grandma holding up the heavens still, come and place it on me
I tell them what I love most so they can take it from me
They like to joke around like I don’t got the aces on me
Yeah now take it from me, don’t you get complacent on me
Three homes in seven years, my heart’s getting vacant on me
Patience, waning, the end game is drawing near
Bright smiles so inviting but shameful that it’s all veneers
See the team lose is the only way that I’m dropping tiers
The money’s obsolete, grandpa tryna shop at sears
So then I’ll hustle so they don’t work no more
And I’ll harbor what the wave brings so they don’t hurt no more
Grow flowers out their daydreams ’till they see dirt no more
All those skeletons in their closets why their shirts all torn
Between the love of their hearts there ain’t no better places
Still tryna turn our blues to green I need more yellow taping
And the green that I get from my blues considered reparations
I gotta stay hella patient ’cause I’ve been told that heaven’s waiting
Pray for me

Sing for me
Carry my legacy through these symphonies
The bitter, hurt, trauma, and emotional injuries
Won’t belittle me, burgundy floors cover cemetery histories
The money still ain’t shit to me
That thought is daunting
I light one up outside motel nights so I’m checked out by the next morning
Can’t separate bars from the artist listen close them drums are a warning
Waiter wait that’s not what I ordered
Please, careful what you bring to the table
Michelin plates to prep for a slaughter
Ask me why I won’t sing for them labels
Come paint me a villain
Don’t make me a monster when the difference I’ve done less healing
How deep is your pockets euphemism for all of the pain they concealing
You the type to entertain rumors ’cause you like how the attention’s revealing
Let’s not now get into feelings
I’m ten toes down ’till I’m six feet
Add it up my life’s in these sixteens
The rest of it lies no mystery
From the look in your eyes we got history
Comparisons taxing you mentally that’s how you end up each night in misery
See how the story unfolds maybe it’s a plus my life’s no Disney
Got a dollar and a dream to me
What more can they bring to me
I got good health and the team with me
All else is not what is seems to be
Excuse my absence but why sacrifice our decency?
Excuse our biases from the recency

Pray for us
Write a blank check whatever’s on it know it ain’t enough Illuminated on a stage not made for us, who gave a fuck
Your past discretions telling what more can you say to us
‘Cause what you saved for us don’t make you safe from us
Express checkout aisle how we bag that
Dubbing ad libs only time I’ll backtrack
The money not from CashApp
I sense the envy clear through the quiet cheers and half daps
Gotta cry first to get the last laugh
