Prayers from HOLY / UNHOLY by Strange Boy

LYRICS

Bless me god when you test me
I been less of a man since shit got tough
Check me when I get empty
when this heads heavy and I feel like life’s too tough

bless me devils they tempt me
tryna convince me your the one that’s crooked
been walking this desert looking for you
come quench my thirst down and out
nobody knows you when you're down and out

loud and proud I’m shouting out
fuck anybody than me
just me and myself bad company
so it’s fuck life till death comes for me
gonna cut ties lest you got love for me

Paleboy got the vision
day ones stay committed the pay off coming quick
when i said what I said ya it is what it is
I got plans for my family struggling
I got mad dreams of us living untroubled
by the things that had us in fear

I’m a humble king nothing lavish round here
knockadali on death's door I don’t got no fear
fuck an apology no I am not sincere
do what you wanna do I don’t got no care

don’t come around here acting like you been there from the start
when you’ve licked your last arse and got nowhere hand on my heart
you are not in here devils in my ear talk shit but now shits clear
gods got me im good got lots you need to hear

Slick with the words that I spit
from a verse the first time I wrote some shit
it was back in 2013 same time I was slacking
never in school outside I was snapping social workers tryna take me away but godknows wasn’t gonna let that happen

I don’t got time to be waiting for none all my life
been patient hoping one day shit might change for the best
but I’m 22 now and shits looking hopeless
drinking smoking sleeping waking up each day
to go through the motions pleasure with pain I pay

through the nose measure my worth
with silver and gold both of which I got none of
is it enough that I’m getting by
nothing in the fridge is edible
I’m past the point of giving a shit about rap
if the cash is light and they say be grateful for the roof over your head

but that shit caved in aswell
sometimes I don’t feel so swell
long nights getting no sleep cold sweats past mistakes
cause me some regrets thoughts weigh heavy on my head
stand unsteady on my legs

many old friends went downhill ever since then
I been looking for a one way ticket
all expenses paid get away from the city that raised me
hateful thoughts wanna bother me daily

bless me god when you test me
I been less of a man since shit got rough
check me when I get empty
when this heads heavy and I feel like life’s too tough

bless me devils they tempt me
tryna convince me your the one that’s crooked
been walking this desert still looking for you
come quench my thirst
