lyrics

So what could I say?

when you said putting your hands together to pray

resembles, so much, putting them together to hold a burner,

the same desperate movement.



We were talking on the stairs of my old block

like how black crows perch on railings

if you’ve got to believe in anything

believe in results, in things happening now.



Thats the problem with prayer, you’ve got to wait

in line, I’m telling you the wages of waiting is death,

word to my worn knuckles, my dead cousins.



Maybe prayer isn’t working cos you’re not holy.



Bro of course I’m not holy, ever since I saw

a bullet turn a man into a holey mess

I found new meaning in a holy ghost

don't talk to me about holiness and prayer.



Okay answer this, what sort of prayer do you pray

knowing the devil is eavesdropping?

What sort prayer do you pray when your area

is a bootcamp for hell?



God says get down on your knees to pray,

when you do the devil thinks you’ve come down

to his level to fellowship with him.



My father’s voice sounds like a saxophone

gunshots sounds like piano notes

I am the base that holds it all together

this is the symphony of hope.



Of my pagans wanting my blood

vampires in hoodies and ski masks

I ask them if they’ll take the blood of Jesus instead

they run me down with a blade.

I slipped, they caught me.



God says get down on your knees to pray

I don't know if I am still alive

because of God’s grace

or because the devil looks out for his own.
