Ihateking - Pray Vs Prey Lyrics

Every time I leave the house
My momma praying for me
When I see the police
It's like they're preying on me
Our father who art in heaven
I just hope you get the message
Every day that I'm alive
I count my blessings
So Every day I pray
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Dear lord please keep
Me from these people
So Every day I pray
Look down and
See a set of prints in the sand
Through the drama
God carries me man
So every day I pray

Where I'm from
You're either the prey or the predator
But I don't glorify the life
Of the Junkies or no peddler
Pushing poison to people
Look at the sheep we cull
How can I be so gleeful
It's time to start an upheaval
Born to the same genus
I'll change the way that you see us
Before the day that they freed us
They knew that I am negus
And we just study law
So you cannot infringe it
My descendants
Keep on exercising your second amendment
You took the oath
Swore to protect and uphold peace
When you're corrupt
Who gone police the police
I'm on eBay all night
Searching for gloves and a knife
I'm might purchase a flight
And if I do then it's on sight
Evil, racist people
Celebrate your acquittal
I knew the fix was in
When they let you auction your pistol
See I got a fucking issue
For the coward signing skittles
I hope they clap your mother
Your dog up at your vigil

Every time I leave the house
My momma praying for me
When I see the police
It's like they're preying on me
Our father who art in heaven
I just hope you get the message
Every day that I'm alive
I count my blessings
So Every day I pray
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Dear lord please keep
Me from these people
So Every day I pray
Look down and
See a set of prints in the sand
Through the drama
God carries me man
So every day I pray

Brock turner rapped a chick
Three months then his sentence ends
Tell me he didn't benefit
Sit and pray with the innocent
Kill a couple of witnesses
Dylan roof did the shit
That's what white privilege is
Y'all claim it's mental
They shoot up shit like its Fortnite
They made it out alive
Without using deadly force right
But that's the reason
Kaepernick keeps on kneeling
But you have yet to empathize
With the families grieving
They bust niggas for some weed
And send em to penitentiaries
But turn around and
Open up shop here's a dispensary
When Regan came
He flood the hoods like hurricanes
That's how they trapped
All our people inside the drug game
They traded drugs t
They set us up and we traded lives
No war on drugs
They wanted a war on black lives
Ugh I see fallacy in your policy
I brought my people
With me to smash your glass menagerie

Every time I leave the house
My momma praying for me
When I see the police
It's like they're preying on me
Our father who art in heaven
I just hope you get the message
Every day that I'm alive
I count my blessings
So Every day I pray
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Dear lord please keep
Me from these people
So Every day I pray
Look down and
See a set of prints in the sand
Through the drama
God carries me man
So every day I pray

Police are tainted and dirty
As the water in Flint is
We rather go build a wall
Than clean up these harsh conditions
Cameras on every corner
Can recognize your appearance
But can't locate no children
When children go disappearing
The media is coming for you
Even if your records clean
I can't believe the shit
That they're doing to Botham jean
Ugh What took so long
To indict her with murder charges
They decorate them as noble
And make us out to be Heartless
I'm supposed to be calm
But you're the one with the training
I know it's some people waiting
Who never got an arraignment
Father dead or in prison
Either way he ain't fruitful
Preying on black babies
Corrupting em while they're youthful
Harvey Weinstein's a monster
And Hollywood is his sponsor
Tell me my holy father
Why do these people prosper
Bomb threats
With a napoleon complex
Got me fucking head bowed
And my palms pressed
