First We Pray chords
Start Jamming...
Black people don't have nowhere to go.
[F#] You know, all we gotta [G#m] do is kick it.
We gonna kick it in our hood, you know.
[C#] We're gonna kill a couple of niggas, man.
[G#] You know, go in their hood, [G#m] do a drive-by.
Then come back in our hood and [N] laugh about this stuff.
You know, just sit there and think.
[G#m] I don't think you're really gonna get deep into it
[G#] with one of your friends, just [F#] like one of my partners did.
[G#m] We got some problems.
How do you call them, bro?
[C#m] First we pray.
[F#m] [G#m]
[C#m] Then [F#] we rise.
[G#m] First [C#m] we pray.
[F#m] [G#m]
[C#m] Then we rise.
[F#] [G#m]
[F#] He was my brother.
[G#m] Loved him like no [G#] other.
I beat all.
I introduced him to this gang.
I knew his [G#m] mother.
Loved her like my [C#m] mother.
[F#] A part of me is [G#m] gone.
I had to take my brother [C#m] home.
When [G#] the trial [C#m] [F#m] comes,
[G#m] who are you gonna run?
[G#m] First I'm gonna [C#m] pray.
[F#m] [G#m] You [C#m] motherfuckin' right.
[F#]
[C#m] Then we [F#m] rise.
[G#m]
First we pray.
[F#m] [G#m]
[G#] Then we [F#] rise.
[G#m]
I ain't got nothing but love for your loafs and hoes.
And I ain't got nothing but love for my [C#m] motherfuckin' dogs.
In [F#] the midst of the war zone.
It's sewn [G#m] on sight.
They like the knife.
The heat held close to the top.
Beware, [F#] here I come with the [G#m] DPG.
On my chest, heat's in a spit like Elliot [G#] Neck.
In the darkest [F#] zone, you feel alone and on [G#m] your own.
After I bust, niggas call me corrupt, [C#] Coleon.
All I'm [F#] about is money, loot, and [G#] cash.
Homies in the DPG, Nate Snoop, [G#] and Daz.
Now with these emotions, how do you approach yourself?
Knowing you all about your wealth and as it is to help.
First I pray.
[F#] Get my thoughts intact.
[E] Ask for forgiveness.
Cause I'm about to lay this [C#] nigga flat.
Can you adapt?
Can you feel me?
I [G#] doubt it.
Cause the closest you see it, it's when niggas write about it.
I [F#] can't live without it.
And it ain't shit I [G#m] could do but stay down with the homies
in gray and [C#] blue.
So [F#] just keep the heat close in [E] hand
cause I done seen niggas get kicked by
they homeboys [C#] rings.
[F#] Heavenly [G#m] father,
shine your light on me.
[C#] [F#] I know I [G#m] promised.
Slow down on this tweet.
[A] Seems [F#] I [G#m] remember
someone used to say
[C#] [F#] one life you [G#m] take,
and you take one life away.
[C#m] We're gonna [G#m] do
When the [C#m] trials [F#m] come
Are you gonna [G#m] run?
Or you gonna [C#m] run?
[C#] We're gonna do
[G#] First I'm gonna [C#m] pray
[F#] We're gonna [G#m] run
You motherfuckers die
First we pray
[C#] [G#m]
Then [C#m] we [F#] run
[G#m]
First we pray
[F#m] [G#m]
[C#m] Then we run
[G#m]
First we [F#] pray
[G#m]
Then [C#m] we [F#m] run
