The Prayer by Trev Rich Lyrics
[Intro - Leonna Harper]
[Verse 1 - Trev Rich]
I had a dream I could buy my way to heaven
Then I woke up in this Hell without a necklace
Bumpin College Dropout ever since I dropped out
But I ain't blaming rap music at all - that shit's a copout
I asked God why most the Christians I know are broke
He ain't respond though, but I still kept my faith like Big did
My youngin's favourite parent, probably cause I'm a big kid
Cartoons and video games, you know, lil' kid shit
My girls say I'm immature, so I got a big...
Real shit, fornicate, break, fornicate, split shifts
Really though, I just want the big house, couple cars, couple grammies
And time to show my grannie...Nigga
Cause she the one who kept me in the church
And she the one who said all this'll work
And she the one who told me put it first
And she gon' love that I put her in this verse
I just want to be major
[Chorus - Leonna Harper]
[Verse 2 - Trev Rich]
I had a dream I could buy my way to heaven
And then I got robbed by the reverend
I woke up in a puddle of sweat - from the feet all the way up to the neck
And I still went to church Sunday, what you expect?
When that collection plate came, my granny gave me a dollar
I always wanted to put it in my pocket
I never understood who this was really for
When the preacher was living good and we was still in the hood at that time
The church changed in my eyes
I mean I cried and I cried a year straight after B died
But I still kept my faith like Big did, riding on that big wheel
Nerves so bad at the time that I couldn't sit still
But granny - she kept me in that church
And she the one who told me put it first
She the one who said all this'll work
And she gon love that I put all this in verse
I just want to be major
[Chorus - Leonna Harper]
