[Intro:]
Yea, check one
Yea, definitely, it's all good
Ha ha
Hmmm, when yuh a run dem wah yuh crawl
Hmmm, when yuh a rise, dem dying fi hear yuh fall
[Chorus:]
Mi hope and pray, hope and pray
Jah shine him light my way
Hope and pray, hope and pray
Go out mi neva stray
Hope and pray, hope and pray
Nah go under clear
Hope and pray, hope and pray
Seh mi a hope and pray
[Verse 1:]
Dem wah know, how I did it but I did it
Di ruffest of times I've been through it
Badmind, grudgeful dying fi mi fidget
Through mi house and mi car dem legit
Mi work fi mi tings
Dem sell out every minute
Dem sell out, admit it
Dem stand beside yuh and dem wah see yuh fall
When di hennessy pull dem come sip it
But badmind and grudgeful mi nuh wah see dem nuh longer
Suh gwaan pray and pray fi my downfall mi live longer
Mi nuh eat mi nuh drink from people, no sah mi nuh wanga
Dem pray and pray fi my downfall
Jah Jah mek mi stronger
[Chorus:]
Mi hope and pray, hope and pray
Jah shine him light my way
Hope and pray, hope and pray
