I used to pray for change, but now I just accept it how it is. A mother crying in the street cause she just lost her kid and locking up who did it wont dry away the tears. I used to pray for change Remember, there weren't food in the fridge. Left to fend for myself as a kid, realized I had to get my hands dirty to get rich. I used to pray for change. Feds got my nigga's doing bid, Shipped out, baby mother ain't got a whip, been a whole year since the last time he saw his kid. I used to pray for change yeah I used to pray ay ay for change I used to pray ay ay ay ay I used to pray ay ay for change I used to pray ay ay ay ay I used to pray ay ay for change. I know shit seems hopeless, but you're a soldier. I swear I'mma face my problems, but let me roll up. When I'm calling out to God, I wish he'd pick the phone up. My boy was sitting in his whip, when they just hit his Dome up. He never even got a chance to see his kids grow up Searching for answers why but I can't get no luck He wanted to be a rapper too that's why I gotta go up He didn't get to live his dream and her mum lost her son So many kids are left alone with no food cause of drugs Sometimes I lose faith don't believe in nuttin Still gotta prepare for the day that he comes But I don't know why I'm going all the wrong that I done They just caught my brudda lacking stabbed my darg in cold blood Don't know how long we got, **** a Spud give them hugs Sometimes it's hard to believe, so hard to believe. I used to pray for change yeah I used to pray ay ay for change I used to pray ay ay ay ay I used to pray ay ay for change I used to pray ay ay ay ay I used to pray ay ay for change.
