First We Pray Lyrics

First We Pray lyrics

featuring Kurupt  

  

 Black people dont have no  no where to go  

 you know  all we got to do is kick it  

 we gonna kick it in our hood  you know  

 what we gonna do  we might  

 we might go kill a couple of niggaz mane  

 you know  go in they hood and do a drive by  

 then come back in the hood and laugh about that stuff  

 you know  its just a thing  

 only how you really gonna get deep into it  

 is when one of your homeys die  

 just like when my partnaz died  

 (we got some problems)  

  

 (Chorus)  

 First we pray, then we ride  

 First we pray, then we ride  

  

 He was my brother  

 loved him like no other  

 to top it off  

 I introduced him to this game  

 I knew his mother  

 loved her like my mother  

 part of me is gone  

 bout take my brother home  

  

 [Bridge]  

 (what're ya gonna do)  

 when the trials come  

 (are ya gonna run?)  

 are you gonna run?  

 (what're ya gonna do)  

 first I'm gonna pray  

 (are ya gonna run?)  

 you muthafuckin right  

  

 (Chorus)  

 First we pray, then we ride  

 First we pray, then we ride  

  

 [Kurupt]  

 I aint got nuthin but love for you loccs and hogs  

 and I ain't got nuthin but love for my muthafuckin dogs  

 in the mist of the war zone, its on on site  

 daylight tonight the heat held close and tight  

 beware here I come with the DPG on my chest  

 heat gonna spit like Elliot Ness  

 in the darkest zone you feel alone and on your own  

 and after I bust, niggaz call me Kurupt Coleone  

 all I'm about is money, loot and cash  

 homeys in the DPG Nate, Snoop and Daz  

 now with these emotions how you approach yourself  

 knowin you all about your wealth and as it is to health  

 first I pray, get my thoughts intact  

 ask for forgiveness cuz I'm bout to lay this nigga flat  

 can you adapt, can you feel me, I doubt it  

 cuz the closest you see it, is when niggaz write about it  

 I can't live without it and it ain't shit I could do  

 but stay down with the homeys in grey and blue  

 so just keep the heat close in hand  

 cuz I done see niggaz get shit while they homeboys ran  

  

 [Nate Dogg]  

 Heavenly father shine your light on me  

 I know I promise to slow down on this weed  

 Seems I remember someone used to say  

 one life gets taken, if you take one life away  

  

 [Bridge]  

 (what're ya gonna do)  

 when the trials come  

 (are ya gonna run?)  

 are you gonna run?  

 (what're ya gonna do?)  

 first I'm gonna pray  

 (are ya gonna run?)  

 you muthafuckin right  

  

 (Chorus) x2  

 First we pray, then we ride  

 First we pray, then we ride
