about
Prayer For The People is my letter to the people, a way to convey my feelings, my love for family and friends, this is for them past and present. This is for my ancestors who paved the way with their love, joy, sweat, tears & pain.
Racism was always wack, we must change that! I refuse to be baptized in the blood of black people on a continuous basis.
I spoke to 6thsense about this and we both felt a need to bring something positive and strengthening to support the cause, utilizing our perspective skill sets; my vocals and lyrics, his production genius, this song is the result. I love you brother Thank You.
Platitudes and promises won't bring our loved ones back.

lyrics
Don't know where to begin or where to start
been here too many times and it breaks my heart.
Black ink on white paper that's soul on ice
A letter to the Beast who keeps taking my life
I write because I need to I write because I have too
I write because it bleeds thru what will you do ?
I write for my elders I write for my brothers
I write for my sisters who are wives and mothers
I write for the babies I write for the seeds
I write for the fighters the ones that bleed
I write for those gone I write for the dead
the ones who seek justice you heard what I said
I write for My Grandpa, Uncle and Doc
Cause 2 out 3 lost there life to a cop.
I write for the riders I write for the allies
I write for the ones who don't have to pick sides
I write for ones that film & the ones that shoot
Thank God for them they help me and you.
I write in defiance I write out of fear
I write because I love you I write because I care
Scattered existence on public assistance
Destroy your Masters, this system is backwards
We know you cowards are feeding us garbage
cut off our options you must have forgotten
without resolution there can be no progress
Let em yell and spread lies as we mobilize
I won't cry anymore to level up the score
if the truth is full of lies
I hope ❤ survives
to be honest I can't take this anymore
