Tonart: D major
Verse 1
A
Bm
Do you believe that he can change things?
Do you believe he can use
Em
Bm
G
you to change things?
A
Bm
Every journey that's ever been taken
started with a step of faith.
D
A
Em
Come on. For real.
Tears pouring like a crystal stream,
smoky on the avenue.
They warnin' through the pistol steam,
Bm
stray shot toddler head
Leakin' wildly, twitchin',
scream, mama missin'
G
She on a mission, she's a crystal fiend
Em
Little angels tryin' to fly,
but we clippin' wings
For them to make it out alive,
it's a wishful dream
we gotta do better than this
It's better you never exist
if you ain't gon' never assist
Em
Freedom, quit the talkin',
put some walkin' to it
Airy man, find an assignment,
D
then we could all pursue it
This unity, our communities
need a makeover
of a blood wash just white,
we threw it in the bake soda
Em
am I gon' spray soldier?
nah, I'ma pray for ya
our biggest advancement
D
was a non -violent takeover
his race over,
who gon' fill in his shoes?
we are only gonna gain
Em
when we are willing to lose truth
G
Bm
whatever goes up can come down
G
you shall reap what you sow
Bm
God has structured this
Bm
Em
and he who goes through life
Bm
Em
not concerned about others
G
Em
G
A
will be a subject victim of this law.
Em
Yeah, yeah, it's so much deeper
than the feature
of some skin tissue
Some say it's racially based,
but it's a sin issue
D
Black, white, red or blue, be a better you
And it don't matter how it started,
Em
it could end with you
Pray for my hood, pray for my hood,
pray for my hood, please
Somebody pray for my hood
G
A
Don't let them get you
Bm
And listen to some of these
Blessings you lose
Em
Somebody pray for my hood
G
A
Don't let them get you
Bm
And listen to some of these
D
A
Blessings you lose
my heart breaks over Ferguson
But see, it's more than the
police that be murderin'
D
And it's sad we fixated
on the skin issue
Cause it goes much deeper,
it's a sin issue
Em
And the antidote, yeah, it's been issued
If you apply the blood of Christ,
D
could've been fixed you
But instead, want to do it on
your own still
Don't trust in the Lord,
don't rely on your own will
Em
And you a savage, pray a K for the hood
But homie, tell me,
Bm
will you pray for the hood?
D
Or sit back and puff on grapes
like it's good
While little girls are getting raped in the hood
Em
So many snakes in the hood
But homie, God is great to the hood
So we gon' take this perfect love,
peace and grace to the hood
D
Yeah, and we won't never forget
from where we came
Cause there's still Goliaths out
there that need to be slain
Now the breath of life
Bm
is the outward concern
for the welfare of others, as I said
D
G
Man has not begun to live,
Em
Bm
until he can rise above the narrow confines
D
G
of his own individual concerns,
D
to the broader concerns of all humanity.
A
Em
Yeah, yeah, it's so much deeper
than the feature of some skin tissue,
some say it's racially based,
but it's a sin issue.
D
Black, white, red or blue,
be a better you,
and it don't matter how it started,
Em
it could end with you
Pray for my hood, pray for my hood,
pray for my hood
D
Please pray for my hood,
Pray for my hood,
somebody pray for my hood
G
A
Somebody my heart!
Bm
Em
Somebody pray for my heart!
G
