[Intro]
(Uh-huh! That's right!)

[Chorus]
It's important to pray for me (Pray for me)
'Cause death is only one step away from me
And all I have left is my soul
My heart is heavy, time for me to let it go
It's important to pray for me
'Cause death is only one step away from me
And all I have left is my soul
My heart is heavy, time for me to let it go (Whoa)

[Verse 1]
Now I'm back on the corner, posted on the roll
'Cause of this glamorous lifestyle, I'm way out of control
Let the greed blind me from the knees to my soul
Let the weed high me from the problems that arose
I'm the one out of the house and I was bound to be chose
When I felt I was drownin', I was bound to be froze
'Til the right time to come out, alright, here it goes
It's my only chance, coming with the force of a avalanche
I dare you to dance with the devil whose angels is rebels
Who bang you and hand you the shovel
Leave you buried under pebbles
Time'll tell, paying off, I'm workin' the hardest
Fuck who the loudest, who the smartest artist
Rakim with all his knowledge, never been to college
Insane man who's made plan starters
A made man who's made plans retarded
Don't get me started, I'm writin' to the dearly departed
I'm broken-hearted, you ain't with me now after all we started
This ain't a flow, everybody swears, nobody knows
Exhibit A, even did it with Xzibit at the show
Lose it, If I don't get a chance to blow
I'ma bruise it, bang it up, gimme that dough
[Chorus]
It's important to pray for me (Pray for me)
'Cause death is only one step away from me
And all I have left is my soul
My heart is heavy, time for me to let it go
It's important to pray for me
'Cause death is only one step away from me
And all I have left is my soul
My heart is heavy, time for me to let it go (Whoa)

[Verse 2]
And if you think I won't leave you where you stand, you confused
Another rapper shot another rapper, seen it in the news
There's a team on each side, so which one did you choose?
I couldn't swallow my pride, came with my own crew
And I'll be all by my lonely, fuck any of his problems
Plus my heavy metal band come for me, no problem
Plus that bitch by my side, probably look like a model
Plus that clip at the side ready to go full throttle
And I made it to a master, made it through disaster
Now everything is moving faster, got my cash up
Don't fuck 'em with me, I just wanna be heard
But I have 'em cling on every word, this that and the third
I don't need to have fists or say slurs
My riff is quick, don't say the word
Anything can happen at any time
N***as get offended off of any rhyme
Any line to a critic is controversial
Then they get sued and now everything like
Who wants to merk you, who wanna jerk you
Like the truth won't hurt you
It's over, somebody you know that don't want you to blow
One talk bad about you and shit on your door
[Chorus]
It's important to pray for me (Pray for me)
'Cause death is only one step away from me
And all I have left is my soul
My heart is heavy, time for me to let it go
It's important to pray for me
'Cause death is only one step away from me
And all I have left is my soul
My heart is heavy, time for me to let it go (Whoa)
