GMK - Prayers For The Slums


[Verse 1]
They say I’m bout to blow
Somebody call the fire department
Remember selling weed in the apartments
Now I wake up we go to breakfast and it’s options
I got this juice from off the horse and not the carton
I'm like the Fresh Prince of the ville, you niggas Carltons
I’m slinging new metal them old glizzies is tarnished.
If I blow up then lose my fame watch how they taunt me
I don't believe in ghosts but all my choices haunt me

[Hook]
And I made mistakes
Oh, I made mistakes in my life
But that's why I pray every night
But sometimes I can't stand it
I just can't understand it
And sometimes I can't manage
It's just too much damage

[Verse 2]
The opps, them said they up’d the score
I seen my brother them on channel four
We argue when I’m going broke
Like what you need Chanel for
I just did your nails hoe
Katie still ain’t wrote me back
I'm sure he got that metal
I know I sent that envelope
Ain’t seen that nigga in two years to when I hit that fourth floor
We was shedding tears at that funeral that fourth row
Tell that judge before I set for life put me on death row

Sitting in my cell awake at night I'm thinking death wrong
I just want go sing my dawg my best songs
Sometimes I cry at night and think on where we went wrong
I wonder, would you still be dead if we just went home

Decisions vital, living off that same land that death wrong

[Hook]
And I made mistakes
Oh, I made mistakes in my life
But that's why I pray every night
But sometimes I can't stand it
I just can't understand it
And sometimes I can't manage
It's just too much damage

[Verse 3]
Now you can't tell me you been through the rain.
But you don't know what pain do
Fuck the beat I write these songs to hit from every angle
I wish I coulda write my wrongs before you was an angel
The same God that took your soul the same one I’m praying to
And if I could change my life I know you can too
I'm sick of making plays most of these hoes ran through
Still in the streets I got this stick on me like bamboo.
Don't say none to my bitch I just want head from you like Cantu

[Hook]
And I made mistakes
Oh, I made mistakes in my life
But that's why I pray every night
But sometimes I can't stand it

[Outro]
Sometimes I can't stand it
Sometimes I can’t stand it
