Pray

Em they never knew my struggle rose above the rubble rather live inside they bubble G then go through the trouble of havin’ they double double vision correct it they just neglect it and Am i been thinking lately will the devil take me? or will god protect me? C i know i ain’t perfect , but you should respect me they don’t want me happy they don’t want to let me live Em i’m young and i’m foolish , i’ve made bad decisions G i block out the news , turn my back on religion Am don’t have no degree , i’m somewhat naive C i’ve made it this far on my own Em but lately , that shit ain’t been getting me higher G i lift up my head and the world is on fire Am there’s dread in my heart and fear in my bones C i just don’t know what to say ( Chorus ) Em G maybe i’ll pray . . pray . . Am maybe i’ll pray . . C i’ve never believed in you , no , Em G Am C but i’m gonna pray . . Em i Am me , i’m a man , i’m a sinner G but understand , aren’t we all? so when it comes to passin’ judgements i don’t think that Am you’re the one to make the call heaven want to cast me out for being me , i know there’s others like me C that’ll break the fall i know you hater m * therf * ckers Em just can’t relate at all if i’m the first one to the line G that’s fine , i’ll take it all well logic , he gon’ let ’em know Am i ain’t perfect , but i’m worth it C i’m alive , i deserve it i been praying , i ain’t playin’ i don’t think you hear the words Em that i’m sayin’ i don’t think you know the weight on my shoulders G that gets heavier as i get older Am callin’ anybody , callin’ anybody "can you hear me?"
