DMX Prayer Lyrics

I come to you hungry and tired
You give food, let me sleep
I come to you weak
You give strength and that's deep
You call me a sheep
And lead me to green pastures
Only asking that I keep the focus between the chapters
You give me the word and only ask that I interpet
And give me the eyes, that I may recognize the serpent
You know I ain't perfect, but you'd like me to try
Unlike the devil who just wants me to lie, 'til I die
Lord why is it that I go through so much pain
All I saw was black. All I felt was rain
I come to you because it's you who knows
You showed me that everything was black because my eyes were closed
You gave me the light and let me bask in your glory
So, it was only right that when you asked for this story
I put it together to do all dogs some good
All dogs being all the brothers and sisters in the hood
Plenty of times you sent help my way, but I hid
And I remember once, you held me close but I slid
There was something that I just had to see
That you wanted me to see so I could be what you wanted me to be
And I think I've seen it 'cuz I don't feel the same
Matter of fact I know I have seen it I can feel the change
And it's strange. Almost got me beating down your door
But I've never known love like this before
It's a wonderful feeling to get away from the pain
In up under the ceiling, I get away from the rain
And the strain that I feel when I'm here is gone
I know real so, I wipe away the tears with this song
And I almost lost faith in you when you took my man Monty Paso and Dre's brother's dad
And I fear that what I saying won't be heard until I'm gone
But it's all good, 'cuz I didn't expect to live long
So, if it takes for me to suffer for my brother to see the light
Give me pain 'til I die but please Lord treat him right
