(UTK) Pray for my neighborhood

Of offering a higher experience to the area

(NIP) We also want things of value that represent us

 

CHORUS:

Pray for my neighborhood
Cause my neighborhood need saving good die young 
The Lord keep taking all the real ones from us 
Cause they provide for my neighborhood
We tried the neighborhood way the boys keep facing racist outside 
They never gone find a job thats gone pay
It's not in my neighborhood
America ain't been great
Trump caint make it better it's no way
Settle for no fake news in my space
Pray for my neighborhood

​

VERSE 1:

NH for the neighborhood
Swear we ain't supposed to make here
Been great when they gave us good
Made us hood but it made them fear
Hear the words get misunderstood
Shook them up when we switched the gears
Shedding tears falling on the wood
Doing what we could to survive the years
In my neighborhood
Guess we gotta be the saviors of it
So we saving up to give the neighbors 
Something change the way we love cause in a way we cousins
From the neighborhood
Buy it back and don't riot
Keep 3rd eye intact for that guidance
These are Mayan facts so live by this
Please don't try to attack me that's violence
Need your mind relaxed til it's time and
We gone ride the front line aligned with
Signs seem so dIvine we can't define the grind in my neighborhood
I put on for my neighborhood
Got put on in my neighborhood
I am home in my neighborhood
We gone make it good in my neighborhood
Nipsey taught us bout the victory
Stick to the script he brought us and eventually
You'll be a winner in whatever industry
From the beginning never let them intervene
Better yet finish even if it take a century
To get it tell them that you did it and the mission is to fix how we been living

​

CHORUS

Pray for my neighborhood
Cause my neighborhood need saving good die young 
The Lord keep taking all the real ones from us 
Cause they provide for my neighborhood
We tried the neighborhood way the boys keep facing racist outside 
They never gone find a job thats gone pay
It's not in my neighborhood
America ain't been great
Trump caint make it better it's no way
Settle for no fake news in my space
Pray for my neighborhood
Pray for my neighborhood

​

VERSE 2:

NH for the neighborhood
Same place where the savior stood
Name great never hesitated kept a game face ran the same race 
With a plan laid that no one ever could
Blame fate it made him make a way take it levels up
Aim straight at places never touched
Fame demonstrated better thugs
Gang members that ain't never hugged
Came together for a better us
Changed up from being chained up to seeing heavens touch
Thought we would never connect it up
Did what they'd never expect of us
Cause they would've never respected us
And the neighborhood get so neglected 
I feel like I need the protection from them when they say that they saving us
Label us crazy and take from us
I knew that one day it would wake us up
 

(NIP)

The world said we was wrong 
But the set embraced you for who you was 
And that's the allure of gang banging 
You might've been broke 
Your momma might have been in drugs 
You might've not had material success 
But the gang don't judge you on that 
The gang judge you on your heart 
If you got heart we gon embrace you and we love you 
That's the only requirement

​

CHORUS:

Pray for my neighborhood
Cause my neighborhood need saving good die young 
The Lord keep taking all the real ones from us 
Cause they provide for my neighborhood
We tried the neighborhood way the boys keep facing racist outside 
They never gone find a job thats gone pay
It's not in my neighborhood
America ain't been great
Trump caint make it better it's no way
Settle for no fake news in my space
Pray for my neighborhood
Pray for my neighborhood
