Pray (It’s a Shame) Slaughterhouse

[Intro: Joe Budden]
Lord, please continue to guide, direct, and protect my niggas
From the world, and from themselves

[Chorus: Joe Budden, Unknown Vocalist]
Lord, can you please shine that light on your sons?
They sent you a million prayers, you ain't answered near one
Oh, it's a shame, baby baby
It's a shame
I'm down on both knees, Father, talk to 'em please
All you put 'em through is pain, will it ever cease?
Oh, it's a shame, baby baby
What a shame

[Verse 1: Joell Ortiz, Unknown Vocalist]

What up, world? I'm Joell
Sixth floor, project door, broke bell
Only child, no brother, no sis
Mom's runnin' out the door to go sniff
My high water pants don't fit
Afro growin' all wild, no pick, man
Oh, it's a shame, baby baby
Is what my teacher said for class pics
My pops? I don't know where he at
He left one day, he said he'd be back
The stove keep me warm in the winter
I'm tired of Beefaroni for dinner
My grandmom's got a bad liver
I'm just watchin' her fade away
Man, I don't know what else to say
So at the end of every day I pray, I say
