Sit n' Prey - Joey Bada$$

After that day my nigga

I remember when he came back to school 3 weeks after

Gave that nigga a bible

And I was like «Yo wherever you go, take this shit with you

You feel me, and you gon' be good

Like I can’t, cause you my friend and I can’t protect niggas»

Like all I can tell niggas is sit n' pray and that’s it

But niggas be taking their life for granted like

You know being on some wild cowboy shit, you can’t

You got beef with some nigga like, don’t be in their vicinity my nigga…

I feel it

Soul music

Sometimes I just sit and pray

Sometimes I just sit and pray

Said I don’t know why do I live my life this way

Why do I live my life this way

Yo, said the apex rhymes on the empire’s eyes

Can testify I’m the best of fly

Live your life and I’m gon' live mine

Tell me what the fuck an angel does

We’re seeing kids who ain’t aged enough

Getting high off angel dust

From NY to Los Angeles

There ain’t no love

In the heart of the city

Looking where they car be at

And they party at

Cardiac arrest can feel risky

Real pissy I chase cheese and real pussy yeah

Cats used to yawn on his rap now look at 'em

Shit ain’t been the same since them niggas started booking 'em

Pull up with your pen up, looking sharper than a bulletin

With pin stripes and hollow tip bullets in it

He’s something that you’d invest in

Catch him live on late night, but he ain’t interestin'

Pop up and poop out something like intestine

No corrections cause the mic been checked in

The only time he be asking is when he sexing

My team like teenage mutants and X-men

Fire spark when I step in

He the human torch

Inhaling fumes of all sorts of course

Steez taught me how to store it in my ball shorts

So when we stop by the D we never get caught

I say it again we face L’s but never lost

Either be a warlord for 6 fees short

Each day in this living hell feel remorse

But he had a million dollar smile way before he flossed

Sometimes I just sit and pray

Sometimes I just sit and pray

Said I don’t know why do I live my life this way

Why do I live my life this way

Yo, said the apex rhymes on the empire’s eyes

Can testify I’m the best of fly

Live your life and I’m gon' live mine

Yo, I’m trying to Oprah win-win with a «L» in my hand

Remotely passed off like the generous man

And they wonder what it cost to put the pen in my hand

But don’t understand they the only one who gets the benefit, damn

Sometimes I just sit and pray

They couldn’t walk this way in my J’s

It wouldn’t feel despair, but disarray

Like their souls disappear

Son got hot flows, got dropped like disarray

Couldn’t close my ghost souls, eyes closed

Covered with Ray-Bans, I call it my eyes closed, and I know!

Even through shades of black

I see brighter days looking back in fact

So I relax my mind, see what these tracks can find

A gold mine that will make me rich in both dimes in mine

Gotta make it all mine if you don’t mind

Cause sometimes

Sometimes I just sit and pray

Sometimes I just sit and pray

Said I don’t know why do I live my life this way

Why do I live my life this way

Yo, said the apex rhymes on the empire’s eyes

Can testify I’m the best of fly

Live your life and I’m gon' live mine

Right on the block where they sit and play

Lives the vicious ways where they spit and spray

Vicious trey’s coming for the ice you kept in yesterday

It’s nothing but the history

Protecting ya' from being history

And then the next day your face is just a mystery

For niggas who really ain’t feeling me are all my fucking enemies

Even the lightest hours requires heavy artillery

Accelerate without the breaks of a break

And still I’m not eating up to now and there’s a lot on my plate

All in a day’s work of God and his grace

You wanna eat then tell God and say grace

And avoid the heat getting the boil to surface

A soft nigga caught between these rocks and a hard place

Because the Mafia is on the look out for the Scarface

But the ill-minded child, is ill minded child

Got a round of styles

Killing niggas' mental like a round of shells

Very well rounded, round it well 'til the highest number

Praying that 2047 ain’t the highest number

Sometimes I just sit and pray

Sometimes I just sit and pray

Said I don’t know why do I live my life this way

Why do I live my life this way

Yo, said the apex rhymes on the empire’s eyes

Can testify I’m the best of fly

Live your life and I’m gon' live mine

Get off my cheeks let me do my thing

Interrupt the wave length

Live and let live

And people talk smart got the balls to say

They apex and standing for this way

But got nothing to show or give

I ain’t judging
