lyrics

Oh I wish that you were around
So I’m begging you to pray for me

Mama it’s your pain that brought me to life
It’s your struggles I reference
All the time when I need to hold a vibe
More times than not
The belly doesn’t get what it needs
Be assured I’ve learned to sacrifice today
So I may feast another day
Promises words of comfort fools
They told I that the streets were paved in gold Lies
Every step mi take mi foot bottom meets concrete
Mama can’t find a place to plant nuh seeds

Mama pray for me
Mama pray for me
Oh your son needs your guidance
Mama pray for me
Mama pray for me
Mama pray for me
Oh I need your prayers

Traversed in nooks and carnies of these concrete jungle
Encountered various creatures of all different colors all different faces all different race
Some are so mean neva wudda offer little food
Some are so mean the ones a top are awfully rude
These are stormy times but I’m holding on
It’s your courage I look to mom when I need to be brave and strong

Mama pray for me
Mama pray for me
Mama pray for me
Oh your child need your blessings
Mama pray for me
Mama pray for me
Mama pray for me
Oh I need your prayers

When you kneel beside your bed at night oh mama pray for me
As you give thanks for the rising sun oh mama pray for me
And when you pray to break your fast oh mama pray for me
When you bless the dinner table please remember

Always pray for me
Always pray for me
Always pray for me
Always pray for me
