For my brothers and sisters
Who couldn't witness this rise
I carry their spirit
Their dreams
Up in the skies
Though wars may arise
My confidence surpass
With God by my side
I'll never fear the sunrise
So
As I can't do much else
I'll bow my head and pray
Amen to the struggle
To the triumphs on display
Just respect and homage paid
As I breathe new life and upgrade
In the depths of souls
The fire burns bright
The harder the rhymes the harder flows
I take flight
Psalm27
The anthem of strength and might
Twelve years in the making
No pact with Satan
I'm dealing with the Maker
Straight up
No fakin
Homies wonder
What's a playaz prayer all about?
It's what kept me focused
Silenced all doubt
A prayer saved me
Should've faced indictment
Now my kids know shakur enlightenment
A prayer's my lifeline
When bullets pierced the air
I fell
But prayed
Escaping despair
Medicine for the soul
Healing wounds deep
A Bush veterans
The scars they keep
Big holes on the side
From a snub-nose 45
Close your eyes
Bow your heads
Don't strive
Hands together
One
Keep me alive
Two
Out the clutches of the feds
Let me thrive
Three
Blessings upon the kids
Guide their way
Four
Protect and uplift my fam every day
Five
For the dividends
The wealth I pursue
Dear Lord
Here I am
Repenting
It's true
One
The grapes on the plate
Blessings I taste
Two
Tags on my feet
Walking with grace
Three
Nights mama cried
I push through the pain
Four
Thuggin' with the fam
We rise and reign
Five
For the dividends
We amass
Dear Lord
Here I am
With gratitude
I surpass
Swear to God
I've walked paths stained with my past
If I could turn back time
I'd right those wrongs amassed
The pain within
Silenced
Can't speak on it loud
That's why my songs overflow
Sleep eludes me
I'm proud
Shedding tattoo tears for years
Through the years
I've lent my ears
To laughter
Joy
Even tears
Friendships forged
Strong as piers
Shared moments
Cherished souvenirs
In youthful years
With eager ears
I sought wisdom from many peers
Learning life's truths
Dismissing jeers
Gaining courage to face my fears
Midlife years attentive ears
To family's laughter
Music cheers
Navigating trials
Shifting gears
Finding strength as the road appears
Golden years
With gentle ears
Recalling memories
Like souvenirs
Oh nope
Its end nears
Grateful heart
No regrets
It clears
Seeking forgiveness divine
Siping fine wine
I may not fully comprehend
But forgive me for my grind
I'm here
Fighting demons
Relentless ferocity
Triple C excited
Audacity
Say a prayer
Let the smoke fill the air
Thank God once more
For making me a millionaire share
I thank God
For blessing me wealth untold
Put your hands together
Bow your heads
Let our souls unfold
Once stacked off the hoe zone
Now covers of Ozone JB
No hoe zone
Magazine spreads
Billboard charts
My legacy
Phantom rides
Rolling Stones
Co-sign in my wake
Through thick and thin
You stayed
Mama's in a Benz
No mistake
Emotions run deep
Almost tears in your eye
On the Low 96
Stacking money
We defy
Bloodshed after midnight
The streets on fire
Just me and this weed
Seeking solace
Aspire
Bloodshed after midnight
The don and shakur unite
Hands together
Heads bowed
The prayers take flight
One
Keep me alive
Protect me from harm
Two
Evade the feds
Stay away from the alarm
Three
Bless the children
Guide their steps on the way
Four
Unity and strength for my family each day
Five
For the dividends
The fruits of labor we earn
Dear Lord
Here I am
Repentance I discern
One
The grapes on the plate
Taste of success
Two
Tags on my feet
Steps toward progress
Three
The nights mama cried
Pain that we bear
Four
Thuggin' with the fam
A bond we declare
Five
For the dividends
The rewards we receive
Dear Lord
Here I am
In Your grace I believe
