Prayer

Deaunte Humphrey

Dear Lord all I see is
Murders and robberies
Bands and bodies
We're Losing the real
While The fake be plotting
You know I'm chill and always watching
Paying attention just a lil cautious
The streets are filled with snakes and vultures
Who are quick to steal, murder, or Rob Ya
So I keep it close you know my rocket
And pray I don't catch a body
 Amen.
