Pray for the Morning by Tunnel Rats Lyrics
[Intro: Raphi]
Yeah roll call, Raphi, Cali Quake
And I'm here with Macho of New Breed (stop the music)
It's the next generation in the Tunnel Rat family
It's our time, we finna take it to the finish line
[Verse 1: Raphi]
Yes yes, confess I bless the mic like a master
I tangle with eternity and I flirt with disaster
The faster you trip, the quicker you will see
I'm an emcee, you just empty
To me you see a good vocabulary is a puddle
Believe I'll bust your bubble (why?)
Grab a pen and pad plus a brain and start to juggle
Chillin' while you struggle, grab the mic and rock it
Some are wishin' I would stop it cause my thoughts are catastrophic
They don't wanna be topic of my diss-discussion
So it's best you don't say nothing or you'll feel the repercussions
When I bust it don't be frontin' just because you think I'm wack
Cause if it came to verbal combat, you're flat on your back
In fact it's [?] place you cats under submission
One way trip to nowhere, now I'm in position you wishin'
Your opposition would let you get by
You don't qualify, watch what you personify
I never say die
Battle cries ring through metropolis skylines and towers
When I think, the ink showers
Get my powers from above
Respect earned, lessons learned
Fell in and out of love, knowin' that I would return
Between a simp and a pimp, a soldier and a wimp
I walk a fine line tryna find where my hope went
It left a dent in my pride, felt like my joy died
This boy cried to learn lessons of man
But no tears fell [?] I thought I know when I would slip
When you forget, logic quit when you get lovesick
And can't admit you know truth because you fear it
But when you running from the new, you always seem to hear it
But not the Holy Spirit, so now I pray he'll speak in every lyric
Cause I know that it's hard with or without any God
My only enemy comes to kill, destroy and rob
As soon as we stand fast in the fire-
Finish the job
[Hook]
Step into the background
Cause we step into the forefront
Never will we back down when the war comes
You better take caution cause you way past the warnin'
It's midnight, better pray for the mornin'
[Verse 2: Macho]
Ayo, I live the Word, learn the Word, read the Word, see the Word
They take the Word from me and burn the Word, I'll be the Word
Became flesh, the enemy test
With spiritual warfare, I'll let the Word manifest
With no stress, don't need a TEC-9 or a vest
Jehovah-Jireh got my back, I need not second guess
I'm blessed by the Father, Author and Finisher
Tempted by the enemy, his plans are mad sinister
Power of salvation through the Word of God I minister
His Word is life, don't let the devil finish
Every year a new disease to fear
Drug to bring tears to mothers' eyes
Wonderin' what happened to them wonder years
When kids was kids, growing up was mad fun
They growin' too quick, live and die by the gun
But still in all I hear the Father calling, nations are fallin'
Arms are outstretched hesitatin' and stallin'
Countries are crawlin' cause they can't stand on they two feet
Politics deep, taste of sin is just too sweet
Pray you taste and see that the Lord is good
Tired of watchin' all these innocent ones become hoods
I ain't a preacher, a teacher reachin' young and old
Teachers shine bold, praying hard the storm be like hearts o' gold
Sold out for the cause, Christ is my boss
At a loss for words, you stay away from foreign gods
Like lust and money, the many nights they plead with me
Like Jezebel saying they wanna have they seed with me
And flee with me to foreign lands, the fantasies take me too
My prayer to God was true and asked Christ to make me new
I'm a new breed, stand on His Word
And I pray that y'all heed to everything you heard
You can hear me on the radio, cyphers on the curb
I'm standing on the Bible yo, for real and that's my word
[Hook]
Step into the background
Cause we step into the forefront
Never will we back down when the war comes
You better take caution cause you way past the warnin'
It's midnight, better pray for the mornin'
Background
Cause we step into the forefront
Never will we back down when the war comes
You better take caution cause you way past the warnin'
It's midnight, better pray for the mornin'
[Outro: Raphi]
Better pray
Like that all the way to Y2K now beyond
We bring heat, TRz
Yeah roll call, Raphi, Cali Quake
And I'm here with Macho of New Breed (stop the music)
It's the next generation in the Tunnel Rat family
It's our time, we finna take it to the finish line
