Hustler's Prayer

1 - My soul is so dirty I've been hustlin' everyday Now I know that I should pray But I wonder if He hear what I'd say I know my momma didn't raise me this way But I gotta feed my family If I could just make it through one more day I could live the right way Lord, you know it's been 12-15 years I've been in the game The way I live this life, forgive me, I know it's a shame But who'd a thought I'd make it this far From all the brothers and others that I've lost I know I'm fortunate not to be one of those souls you choose And I'm sorry for the ones I sent Down here is to live or die, what was I suppose to do? You know I wasn't quite ready For this soul of mine to come before you (Repeat 1) I know I may not have been right but I've been fair I guess that's why you saw it to keep me here You must have somethin' better for me Just give me a sign Lord, please show me Just wanna thank you for the ones you've placed I pray you watched over them, cuz you watched over me Until you clean us up Lord, like we should be I know you will eventually (Repeat 1) Please watch over my babies and they mommas, too Cuz they don't know what they daddy do But this one thing, I promise you I won't let my seeds do the same thing, too Lord, bless my momma, you know how much she means to me Despite the way I live, I know she still loves me She's up in church, cryin' and prayin' for me And I'mma try to see her there on Sunday, I said maybe (Repeat 1)
