Lyrics proud/pray - Pink Siifu

proud/pray

Yuh
Momma raised a King, we gon' make it through
This for my sister yo I’m proud of her
She done made it through, out the soul
Parents fighting cops rolling through
Only reason wasn’t there I had to make moves, just to make it back
Back to you
Talking to the Gods when it’s dark too
Demons in the sky tryna fall through
I done seen the fire too close to standing I ain’t supposed to
Yeah they got the rope
Praying for my folks
Dying on the road
Reaper and the smoke
Get it for my folks
Written in the stones
Back turn to wings
Wings turn to gold
Hands turn to dust right in front of you
Pray for you, see the heavens right up under you
Pray for you
If you my nigga you my nigga ima ride for you
Pray for me, pray for me
Pray for me, pray for me
We say that the pets gon' kill and the pets gon' preach
We read it in papers you see on teepee
Lord gentrify, can’t recognise streets
There to get by, die in their sleep
Weed legalise but dealers ain’t free
Behind cells they want me, I can tell they want me
And them demons too whispering, can’t cover, listening, I ain’t trying to,
black man mirror too true
Pain over me blue, colour me and my truth
Wonder what day, that’s soon
Know that day creep soon
Can’t let my Mamma see me in that tomb
Can’t let my Mamma see me in that tomb
Need her feet kicked up in that room
Calling my sister making sure she cool
I say I love you when I’m praying for you
She say I love you when I’m praying for you
Hands turn to dust right in front of you (pray for you)
See the heavens right up under you (pray for you)
If you my nigga you my nigga ima ride for you
Pray for me, pray for me
Rolling, still
Still, rolling
Still, still, still, rolling
Still, yo, yo, ay
On the block shop at the
Probably kill a nigga in the shower
Wash away pain, wash away stains
Blood on your hands, Instead of my skin
Scared of my pigment
Nothing ain’t the same, we ain’t on the same shit
Paint this
New Sade at the minute, dead bodies in the yard
Got a picture?
If all I ever say
Pray for my pigment, pray for my niggas
Pray for me, pray for me
Praying for my family, used to say that’s all you say
Pray
Now I feel like niggas don’t ever pray
Pray
