PRAYING FOR YOU (parody)
Lord, there used to be this friend of mine
used to walk the streets hardly had a dime,
'till his buddies kind of got a hold of him
he began swearing, selling weed, this life
you gave him began looking pretty slim.
He tried his very best to back out of it all
that's when they slipped a gun in his hand,
Lord he said it was the first and the last time
he'd empty a clip of lead into another man.
I feel like he feel, that he's slowly dying
tried to get him to get a job, and earn this life
but it seems to me at least he aint really trying!
He got into a class at a school jus' up the street
only for the loan, now he's back with his ole'
gang Lord, claims he can't even sleep.
My prayers aren't being answered my Lord
my knees have burn marks, I'm so tired & sore.
It's killing me I know by now it's killing you
my friend's dodging cars, stray dogs, even the
police, what else in the world do I need to do?
He aint socializing, but steadily antagonizing
and since he don't carry your master plan I
guess that I completely understand!
His pants nowadays are even sagging, he used
to have 'em up like Steve Urkel, I keep seeing
him drifting close to the edge Lord, I believe he's lost in his own circle.
I'm praying for him, but that him is really me
dangling from the edge, struggling to be fed,
telling folks that I'm starving, they say “There's
physical food, and spiritual food, what are you
carving?”.
