Prayer (skit) Lyrics

I come to you hungry and tired
You give me food, let me sleep
I come to you weak
You give me strength, and that's deep
Called me a sheep
And lead me to green pastures
Only askin' that I keep the focus
In between the chapters
You give me the word
And only axe that I interprete
And give me the eyes
If I may recognize the serpent
You know I aint perfect
But you'd like me to try
Unlike the devil who just wants me to lie
'Til I die
Lord why is it that
I go through so much pain?
All I saw was black
All I felt was rain
I come to you because it's you who knows
Showed me dat everything was black
Because my eyes were closed
You gave me the light
And let me bask in your glory
So it was only right that
When you ax for this story
Put it together
To do our dogs some good
Our dogs being
Brothers and sisters of the hood
Plenty of times you should help my way
But I hid
And I remember once you held me close
 
But I slid
It was somethin' that
I just had to see
That you wanted me to see
So I could be what you wanted me to be
And I think I've seen it
'Cuz I don't feel the same
Matter fact I know I've seen it
I can feel the change
It's strange
But it's got me beatin' down your door
But I've never known love like this before
It's a wonderful feelin'
To get away from the pain
And up under the ceiling
I get away from the rain
And the strain that I feel when I'm here
Is gone
I know real, so I wipe away the tear
It's on
And I almost lost faith when you
Took my man
Monte, Paso, Jay's brother Dan
And I fear that what I'm sayin'
Won't be heard until I'm gone
But it's all good
'Cuz I really didn't expect to live long
So if it takes for me to suffer
For my brother to see the light
Give me pain 'til I die
But please Lord, treat him right
