[00:12.21]As I wake up in the mornin', stretch my arms wide
[00:15.26]Before I even yawn or wipe the cold out my eyes
[00:17.95]I say Al Humdulillah, givin' praise to my God
[00:20.95]Allowin' me another day, blessin' me to rise
[00:24.33]Know at any given moment, it could be my demise
[00:27.15]'Cause you only get a minute to pray
[00:29.70]And a second to die
[00:31.01]And realizing that I've come to terms with that
[00:34.01]One day I'm gon' burn for all my heinous acts
[00:37.14]I know a sincere prayer can only change my fate
[00:39.89]So I drop, prostrate and pray it ain't too late
[00:42.58]For me to ask for forgiveness and increase my faith
[00:45.83]And guide me on the path that's straight
[00:48.39]And never lead me astray
[00:49.83]'Cause I know I can't walk this alone
[00:52.08]I'm in fear of that fork in the road
[00:54.21]The devil there, waitin' to claim my soul
[00:56.33]So I pray that You, hold my hand
[00:58.58]As I follow your footprints in the sand
[01:01.14]Now I know I done did some wrong
[01:03.64]And I ain't been to talk to you in so, so long
[01:06.64]So I'ma hit my knees and extend my palms
[01:09.70]And send this up to you and hope you hear this
[01:12.77]I'll be prayin'
[01:14.77]Prayin'
[01:16.01]I'll be prayin'
[01:17.45]Prayin'
[01:19.08]I'll be prayin'
[01:20.64]Yeah
[01:22.20]I'll be prayin'
[01:24.14]Ayee yeah
[01:25.96]I often find myself stuck, just starin' in space
[01:28.26]Feel like hours at a time, my mind driftin' away
[01:31.96]Can't quite collect my thoughts or put 'em in place
[01:35.29]And I grab a glimpse of my momma with a head full of grays
[01:38.10]I know they shouldn' be there
[01:39.54]Nah
[01:40.28]Not for her age
[01:41.35]And then I think of how I stressed her and shortened her days
[01:46.41]Her long sleepless nights, not knowing if I was safe
[01:47.97]Or was my name on the list of the reaper that day
[01:50.29]I sink deeper as I feel a tear creep down my face
[01:53.91]I wipe it away, now my thoughts on life in the grave
[01:56.35]I know on that day that three things gon' go wit ya
[01:59.10]Ya family, ya wealth and ya deeds but two gon' leave
[02:02.35]And when that last person leave that site
[02:05.79]The grave gon' squeeze so tight
[02:07.97]Ya ribs gon' overlap till every bone crack
[02:11.79]I drop my head in despair, imagine going through that
[02:15.22]I smell fire then I notice the hole in my pants
[02:18.16]I drop my cigarette butt and brush off my ash
[02:21.16]I'm still stuck but I notice a car pass
[02:24.22]I hear the driver cussin' me out over his horn blast
[02:27.41]Damn, this can't be right, let me snap back to life
[02:30.97]How long I been stuck, day dreaming at this light?
[02:33.73]Wondering if that's a sign of how I'm moving through life
[02:36.35]A reckless abandon, a accident, just waitin' to happen
[02:40.28]Now I know I done did some wrong
[02:43.24]And I ain't been to talk to you in so, so long
[02:45.30]So I'ma hit my knees and extend my palms
[02:48.18]And send this up to you and hope you hear this
[02:51.30]I'll be prayin'
[02:51.99]
[02:52.98]Prayin'
[02:53.23]I'll be prayin'
[02:56.11]Prayin'
[02:56.48]I'll be prayin'
[02:58.48]Yeah
[02:58.98]I'll be prayin'
[03:04.17]Ayee yeah
