Konshens - Prayer

[Verse 1]
Huh
Nuff time me frass and grieve away
Fi see how much a me friend life delete wha' day
Likkle pickney inna the street a play
Drive-by, innocent life leak away
Mama 'pon her belly, weak a pray
Pastor 'tand up over coffin with reet a pray
Dem gi' the youths dem a heap a 'K
You no see fox a lead the sheep astray

[Chorus]
A Jah watch over me soul
Watch over the youth dem, dem out a control
Oh, we need prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer
Prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer

[Verse 2]
Yo, yo
Hey
Listen me
Me no love how the system a run
Bare dead man we a wake and see
Every man arm, shot a blow like storm
And the cemetery a run out a vacancy
Hey youth, you fi listen
Too much man a missing
Live up your dream, have faith and see
We no waan no more 'Gone too soon'
'Pon shirt, 'pon flag, 'pon bare taxi
Every day man a dead shot a tear ganzy
When me friend get shot me deh near and see
Me shed tears fi me dead peers
But me stone me heart, cah me no fear man, see
So stand guard and beware and see
Cah the least likkle thing dem will grave man fi it
Better must come, mek we wait and see
Just try keep your life safe and see

[Chorus]
Oh, Jah watch over me soul
Watch over the youth dem, dem out a control
Oh, we need prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer
Prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer

[Outro]
Almighty
Me a pray fi the youth dem
Show dem another way
Cah nuff a dem no know no other way
Give us strength in this time of need
Protect us from our enemies
And protect us from ourself

[Chorus]
Oh, Jah watch over me soul
Watch over the youth dem, dem out a control
Oh, we need prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer
Prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer
