Better Way Murs & 9th Wonder

[Verse 1]
In 89 they threw me under the water
In the name of the Holy Spirit, Son, and the Father
From this day forward I would always have a partner
Someone to lean on as the times got harder
But as the days got darker
I began to question everything I was a part of
Why the preacher always driving something so nice
And why the leader of the choir ain’t got no wife
So many things that didn’t flow right
The ones who loved the most high always be the lowlifes
So I expanded on my own route
Read The Final Call, saw what Farrakhan was talking bout
When I first quit pork it made my mother shout
Did I miss pepperoni? Yo, no doubt
But I held strong, I was so devout
A little man trying figure it all out

[Chorus]
I pray for love, I pray for peace
I pray for you, I pray for me
I pray for the living, I pray for the deceased
I pray for the people that’s living in the streets
I pray for my friends, pray for my enemies
I pray for free healthcare and clean energy
Cause this my prayer, I say it every day
I pray for patience while we working towards a better way
