歌詞: Jae B. Academix Vol. 1. I Pray.

[Verse 1:]
He was taught to never let 'em see tears
And even when he's alone, he battles 'em when their near (yes)
But sometimes he wins, but most times he loses
... So he loses himself within his music
When most people tried to walk - he ran
He just tried to bring the sky a little closer to his fam
He wanted to be a man, but the prop of a father
Another black soul of a path of [? ]
He didn't bother, guess it was too much for him
So he took it out on everybody who had love for him
What's the point of tryin' everyday?
When he could be innocent & get locked up, any way
Shot up any day, they say [? ]
To empty a clip, and a nigga' just forgets
Got damn, they left him no choice, but to leave you no choice
He rather die then to be with no voice
Like thaat,

[Chorus:]
Baby when the skies is grey, I pray this music always takes me away
Please gimme a sign, and let 'em know the way I'm livin' is right
And baby when the skies is grey, I pray this music always takes me away
Please gimme a sign, and let 'em know the way I'm livin' is right

[Verse 2:]
Pledge by the innocents of ignorant's
Diligence might of been his only common sense
[? ] of music
So rap & ball didn't become excuses
For him to quit school, for him to leave work
For him to pray for this to happen 'til his knees hurt
But being hard headed, he let that dream rise
Like the sun on the East over peek skies
Now he's sittin' here, with his engineer
Tryna' put a little pain in 'em people's ear,
I hope you listen man, & for your sake
KEEP YOUR FUCKIN' MOUTH SHUT 'TIL YOUR JAW BREAKS!
This is his time, ya'll niggas had yours
He's about to be the man, his momma' asked for
They left him no choice, but to leave you no choice
He rather die then to be with no voice
Like thaat,

[Chorus:]
Baby when the skies is grey, I pray this music always takes me away
Please gimme a sign, and let 'em know the way I'm livin' is right
And baby when the skies is grey, I pray this music always takes me away
Please gimme a sign, and let 'em know the way I'm livin' is right

[instrumental for 8 bars]

[Chorus: fades]
Baby when the skies is grey, I pray this music always takes me away
Please gimme a sign, and let 'em know the way I'm livin' is right
And baby when the skies is grey, I pray this music always takes me away
Please gimme a sign, and let 'em know the way I'm livin' is right
