A Hustlers Prayer
Ace Hood · Other Songs - Ace Hood
No weapon formed against me shall prosper
Pray for me mama
Live, Starvation
If I should die before I wait
I'm prayin' next to lord for my soul to take
Niggas dyin' everyday so I keep that Glock on me
I'm just thankful I woke up to see another day hey ey [x2]
Man I'm tired of this bullshit
And I lost my dog and I felt like this the worst that it could get
Till I lost my daughter, felt like emptyin' out that full clip
And I put it on my mind feel for the hand, I'm just gonna slow sip
Cause I'm way to stressed and again I'm blessed cause I'm still here
Lookin' in that mirror I can see a man with no fear
Oh lord, oh lord this world is hell although we livin' in it
Gotta keep my vibe. Oh why? Oh why must I just keep on sinnin'?
Tryin' to keep it real in a world so fake, now can I get a witness?
Got niggers killing over Jordan's, getting life in prison
I'm tryin' to tell you man
Watch the ones who you hang around
The enemy approaching any second now
If I should die before I wait
I'm prayin' next to lord for my soul to take
Niggas dyin' everyday so I keep that Glock on me
I'm just thankful I woke up to see another day hey ey [x2]
Woke up early in the morning, said I gotta get it
Loadin' up my pistol, I just pray that all my sins forgiven
And I know I'm livin' wrong but mama, you just pray for me
Gotta make this money so my family forever eager
That Jesus piece around my neck keep the devil away from me
In an old school cut let's keep that problem with me on the secret
Just hopin' right but the man above before I go to sleepin'
In nothing lesser than a G, that's how they bury me
Have mercy on 'em
If I should die before I wait
Pull me out some liquor when you're at the wake
And I'll be good as long as I know daughter's straight
Realest shit I ever wrote, this has a hostile spread
If I should die before I wait
I'm prayin' next to lord for my soul to take
Niggas dyin' everyday so I keep that Glock on me
I'm just thankful I woke up to see another day hey ey [x2]
