Verse 1

I be praying every time
You walk out the door
To keep you safe in these streets
Away from the smoke
I know you think you got
It but God knows
What lies up ahead
We don't have control
You don't know how I scared
I be when you don't
Answer the phone
I be in my own mind
Thank God bring him home
I can't change you
And my heart won't let you go
Every time you go

Chorus

I say a prayer for you
That whatever you're facing
God would bring you through
I say a prayer for you
'Cause these streets
Don't love you like I do
Every time you leave
I say a prayer for you

Verse 2

Like a mamma or grandmother
I'm down on my knees
Hands up in the air like
He won't listen to me
I know something greater
That can protect you from enemies
You ain't gotta have 'em tucked
You can let the whole world see
You don't know how I scared
I be when you don't answer the phone
I be in my own mind
Thank God bring him home
I can't change you
And my heart won't let you go
Every time you go

Chorus

I say a prayer for you
That whatever you're facing
God would bring you through
I say a prayer for you
'Cause these streets
Don't love you like I do
Every time you leave
I say a prayer for you

Bridge

Everybody needs love
Some need extra
We gon' lift 'em up
And let God catch 'em
Everybody needs love
Some need extra
I'm the type
That's gonna pray for you
And your protection

Chorus

I say a prayer for you
That whatever you're facing
God would bring you through
I say a prayer for you
'Cause these streets
Don't love you like I do
Every time you leave

Chorus

I say a prayer for you
That whatever you're facing
God would bring you through
I say a prayer for you
'Cause these streets
Don't love you like I do
Every time you leave
I say a prayer for you
