E-40 - Pray For Me [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus]
Hey e e oh oh oh
Ouu
I seen a lot of pain since I was a child so pray for me I’ve done a few things that just ain't right so pray for me
What I’ve been through will make you cry so pray for me, pray for me ( pray for me )
I'm trying to change my life so (pray for me )

[Verse 1]
Uh ain't no dope on the streets man I'm behind on my rent, I ain't got nothing to show for all the fatty that
I had spent I told my momma to cash out my life insurance policy the money that she was planning on using
To bury me man my rims touching my papers struggling man all my life
I've been hustling running in place but can't seem to finish the race
Seen dudes get blocked in the face plucked like a bass flew into space for senselessness
Thats why I stay prayed up and say my grace even when i'm glinding never know when your life is suspended
God can take his arms from around you and easily end it at any time any place anywhere
I know that my lifes been a spared on several occasions suckas hating I’m still here
How can loved ones fall out never talk again to each other ?
Why does it take a funeral to bring family together bad weather always looks worse through a window
With my temple I make it look easy but its really not all that simple

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Young dude full of soul food mama cooking pork chops uncle slapping dominos sister playing hopscotch
And this before the block got hot and infected and everybody knew my granddaddy where i was respected check it !
Time went on and the game kicked in I was losing comrades either death or the pen
I was losing comrades but i'm stackin the wins (2:06) where I would got the 600 how
I be losing your friends when grandmama passed is when it all went bad
Ain't ts gon dropped my cousin’s fighting is dead and theres no thanksgivings
Like the ones we had and its sad so i express through a pen and a pad
Im on my third win pimpin Lord Jesus is with me ain't no weapon formed against me that could come in the scene
I be post in the cut when them angels gon get me until the day homie, Just pray for me

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
My kin folk baby mama on welfare they house is bigger than ours
Cuz they got section 8 vouchers WIC and benefit cards my homegirl daughter diabetic
She like to eat whole lot she only nine and a half and taking insulin shots
My beau got a heart condition his ankle be swollen cuz he got high blood pressure and he refuse to quit smoking
But I'm no better than ya’ll I like to drink alcohol
Bring out the pen and start writing about the things that I saw
Like kilograms of that raw and kemp peruvian fleckb wrapped in aluminum foil and duct tape bust open
And thrown in a pot foamy and mushy melted and locked in a shape of a gigantic sized white cookie;
Put on the towel and dried and broken down into zips whole uns and halfs and sixteenths
So ya’ll all get flicked I maintain my faith in G.O.D cuz its just a test, repent and confess as per grateful man yes Im blessed uh

[Chorus]

[Outro]
