Prayin'
Lord above, I just killed a man, let somebody take the blameLord above, I’m kneeling down, I’m prayin’ take away this pain all up in hereI’m prayin’, oh Lord I’m prayin’ to you, take away this guilt all up in my headI’m pleadin’, oh Lord I’m pleadin’ with you, we got some dealin’s to do before the day I’m dead
He came for me, just like I knew he would, but this time I was ready and I killed him goodBut he weren’t alone, there was one more left, he took my rubber from me, put it to the testThat’s when this angel appeared, out from the door with The Devil in his eyes, but God in his heartHe slayed him down, saved me from a sudden death, but I’ve still done wrong
So now I’m prayin’, oh Lord I’m prayin’ to you, take away this guilt all up in my headI’m pleadin’, oh Lord I’m pleadin’ with you, we got some dealin’s to do before the day I’m dead
So there we are, an angel and a man, both just standing there, blood on our hands“What we gon’ do now?” is what I thought, but before I could say, the angel talkedHe said “I’m in here for life anyway, you’re only in here for 5, I’ll take the blame”He said “Go right now, don’t feel ashamed” but oh Lord I do, that’s why I’m prayin’
I’m prayin’, oh Lord I’m prayin’ to you, told me for me since weighing down on my soulI’m pleadin’, oh Lord I’m pleadin’ with you, you got some healing to do, inside I’m feeling low
So now I’m prayin’, oh Lord I’m prayin’ to you, take away this guilt all up in my headI’m pleadin’, oh Lord I’m pleadin’ with you, we got some dealin’s to do before the day I’m deadI’m prayin’, oh Lord I’m prayin’ to you, told me for me since weighing down on my soulI’m pleadin’, oh Lord I’m pleadin’ with you, you got some healing to do, inside I’m feeling low
