No I.D. - Pray For The Sinners [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
What good does it do...if you don't hear...you don't listen...and you don't care into practice what you hear, what did you come to hear for? We ain't begging for ears. We are trying to get a people...to change their ways. And you're not changing your ways. You hear the word while you SPORT and while you PLAY. And you leave and you go RIGHT BACK to the CRAP that you hearing. So it don't make you BETTER. But something is gonna make you better. And I'm gonna tell you what that is

"Oh lord, oh lord, oh lord"

[No I.D.]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake...
Hmmm, check it out, check it out

[Verse One: No I.D.]
One day I was sitting and I called up the lord
Had justice on my mind and my hand on the sword
I was feeling like a fight
And feeling in my pocket, yo my money ain't right
Just one of them nights
So I'm looking for the lights so I don't let off in the pitch black
Exploding wet guys like shaking up a six pack
Hard times hit me like [?] fit me
I just called up to make sure you ain't forget me
Things be up and down and I ain't saying you ain't with me
I know that you permit me
To play you all shifty
When I go real low, yo I watch you come and get me
It's a roller coaster ride and I'm knowing how that dip be
Trying to hang on, I'll be needing some assistance
Cause every single day be breaking my resistance
I gotta get that stamina so I can go the distance
But in this world it be rougher than rough

[Hook: No I.D.]
See it's rough and it ain't gon' change
Trying to do my thing and it feels so strange
I know you with me
And if you feeling like the struggle ain't gon' change
Huh, maybe it ain't gon' change

"Help me pray for one sinner from the ghetto
You know that he's a sinner
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord would you please
Put a blessing on?"

[Verse Two: Dug Infinite]
Life will take you out make you think precise
I know a lot of cats right now that's paying the price
That's why I strive to survive
Work hard to keep a knot
You got me dropping rhymes flipping cribs on your block
No what's my M.O.?
That I'm good without a demo
Replication from Z's myself plain and simple
We bring the heat
You know the style got that fuego
We build and destroy it like a child with Lego
Master of these skills, in other words I be stable
I'm still able
To bust your shit like Kato
It's funny how the ghetto made me who I am
And at the same time, it snatched the life out my man
These be the type of things that be hard to understand
The same type of things that got me working with a plan
I hold the world like Atlas, hope my knees don't buckle
These times be tough plus they rougher than rough

[Hook: Dug Infinite]

"Help me pray for one sinner from the ghetto
You know that he's a sinner
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord would you please
Put a blessing on?"

[Dug Infinite]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
That if we die before we wake...
We praise the Lord our soul to take

"Help me pray for one sinner from the ghetto
You know that he's a sinner
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord would you please
Put a blessing on?"
