Lyrics of Pray For Me by Kendrick Lamar
intro
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
verse
I′m always ready for a war again
Go down that road again
It's all the same
I′m always ready to take a life again
You know I'll ride again
It's all the same (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tell me who′s gon′ save me from myself
When this life is all I know
Tell me who's gon′ save me from this hell
Without you, I'm all alone
chorus
Who gon′ pray for me?
Take my pain for me?
Save my soul for me?
'Cause I′m alone, you see
If I'm gon' die for you
If I′m gon′ kill for you
Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey
verse
I fight the world, I fight you, I fight myself
I fight God, just tell me how many burdens left
I fight pain and hurricanes, today I wept
I′m tryna fight back tears, flood on my doorsteps
Life a livin' hell, puddles of blood in the streets
Shooters on top of the building, government aid ain′t relief
Earthquake, the body drop, the ground breaks
The poor run with smoke lungs and Scarface
Who need a hero? (Hero)
You need a hero, look in the mirror, there go your hero
Who on the front lines at ground zero? (Hero)
My heart don't skip a beat, even when hard times bumps the needle
Mass destruction and mass corruption
The souls of sufferin′ men
Clutchin' on deaf ears again, rapture is comin'
It′s all prophecy and if I gotta be sacrificed for the greater good
Then that′s what it gotta be
chorus
Who gon' pray for me?
Take my pain for me?
Save my soul for me?
′Cause I'm alone, you see
If I′m gon' die for you
If I′m gon' kill for you
Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey
bridge
Hey, hey, hey, hey
verse
Hey, hey, hey, hey
chorus
Who gon′ pray for me?
Take my pain for me?
Save my soul for me?
′Cause I'm alone, you see
If I′m gon' die for you
If I′m gon' kill for you
Then I′ll spill this blood for you, hey
outro
Just in case my faith go, I live by my own law
I live by my own law, I live by my own
Just in case my faith go, I live by my own law
I live by my own law, I live by my own
Writer(s): Adam King Feeney, Martin Mckinney, Abel Tesfaye, Kendrick Lamar
