Praying Mantis |
Microphone check 1−2-3 |
Eric Biddines on a beat made by Danny D |
If you feeling how the vibe is now |
Listen close with your ears they’ll become you eyes |
Listen close with your ears they’ll become your eyes |
Back with another one story of a mother who |
Single parent raising babies in a single room |
Have no idea how she gone make it barely pushing through |
She hardly make enough to pay the rent and it’s reduced |
Sister you don’t know the challenge when you’re worth it |
The devil put you under surveillance for a purpose |
But you gone flourish I can feel it |
That carpet that you cry upon one to lift your spirit |
And these bills don’t never stop accumulating |
And it’s a gamble when you filling out applications |
The third time this week you don’t really want to eat the ramen noodles you |
making |
The only thing you can really do is pray |
The only thing you can really do is pray |
Yeah |
Bow your head |
We taking chances |
Whenever we take glances |
Out the window pain but we ain’t praying like the mantis |
We step on ants and spray the cockroaches |
Not their fault where they look for food |
The place we call our home it’s |
Hard being good when you accepted |
The shit that come out our mouths we cover Chloraseptic |
For when I shout out I hope the lord protect me |
Carry that umbrella when it’s raining kinda hectic |
I once was him who used to travel with no gas |
Ignore the blinking light I said I get there if I had |
I know it’s hope for each and every person lately |
I been feeling like it’s more to life than just complaining |
Forgot bout praying |
Forgot bout love |
Forgot what I was supposed to write about on this here song |
And these bills don’t never stop accumulating |
And it’s a gamble when you filling out applications |
The third time this week you don’t really want to eat the ramen noodles you |
making |
The only thing you can really do is pray |
The only thing you can really do is pray |
Back with another one student try to finish school |
Said he don’t qualify to get the help he needed so |
He work a 9−5 and overtime for minimum |
No benefits he don’t complain that’s what he gotta do |
One day he get a check up saying he got cancer |
Around the time his doctor say insurance cancelled |
There goes his savings now he coming out of pocket |
No way to pay tuition now to go to college |
