Prayer For You

My darling, believe me
For me, there is no one
My darling, believe me
For me, there is no one

I be praying every time you walk out the door
To keep you safe in these streets away from the smoke
I know you think you got it, but God knows
What lies up ahead, we don't have control

You don't know how I scared I be when you don't answer the phone
I be in my own mind
Saying, "God, bring him home"
I can't change you, and my heart won't let you go
Every time you go

I say a prayer for you
That whatever you're facing
God would bring you through
I say a prayer for you
'Cause these streets don't love you like I do
Every time you leave, I say a prayer for you

Like a amma or grandmother, I'm down on my knees
Hands up in the air like, "He won't listen to me"
I know something greater that can protect you from enemies
You ain't gotta have 'em tucked
You can let the whole world see

You don't know how I scared I be when you don't answer the phone
I be in my own mind
Saying, "God, bring him home"
I can't change you, and my heart won't let you go
Every time you go

I say a prayer for you
That whatever you're facing
God would bring you through
I say a prayer for you
'Cause these streets don't love you like I do
Every time you leave, I say a prayer for you

Everybody needs love
Some need extra
We gon' lift 'em up
And let God catch 'em
Everybody needs love
Some need extra
I'm the type that's gonna pray for you and your protection

I say a prayer for you
That whatever you're facing
God would bring you through, you through
I say a prayer for you
'Cause these streets don't love you like I do (they don't love you like I do)
Every time you leave, I say a prayer for you (they don't love you like I do)

That whatever you're facing
God would bring you through (bring you through, no)
I say a prayer for you
'Cause these streets don't love you like I do
Every time you leave, I say a prayer for you
