[Max Minelli] 

I got three prayers 

For real niggaz,thugs, and gangstas . . 



Uh. Yeah. You know wha'm sayin'? Yeah 

Look, 'till I do it again like this here 

This gone be the realest way I ever done it 

Ya understand? (Yeah, yeah, yeah) 



[Verse One] 

Look 

Man, I been tryin' ta find my way up out this stress 

Brushin' this dirt off my chest 

I think I'm spittin' clearly now 

I know the nigga with the nest is the more best 

Than a motor show I been passin' all my tests 

So can you hear me now? 

I'm two knees to the dirt, two tears to my eyes 

Two arms to the sky 

Can you hear me now? 

I know the streets done planted somethin' inside of me 

Cause somehow, some way, I still know I'm makin' you proud of me 

I ain't come here to make excuses for my foolishness 

I'm only doin' what I think I'm really 'posed ta do with this 

Gifts you hand me so now I feel like I'm spittin' on the 

Behalf of the streets and every single nigga on 'em 

So when we feel like we drifted too far away from you 

And really wanna pray to you, but don't know what to say to you 

I try ta spit it right, but none of us ain't livin' right 

Usually, we ain't even tryin' hard enough to get it right 

But I'ma try again, tell ya come back into my heart 

This a new day, fresh start, can you hear me now? 

And hopefully niggaz gone learn it 

I don't play if they burn it 

They sing along to it, we'll be saved yeah 



I know it ain't one man that can save the world 

I know that. But I figure if I touch one nigga 

That'd be a start. With God in my heart, I know 

I'ma survive out'chere, thug 



[Chorus] 

(One) God can you hear a nigga way up there? 

When I'm way down here, sayin' my real nigga prayer? 

(Two) God can you hear a thug way up there? 

When I'm way down here, sayin' my thugged out prayer? 

(Three) God can you hear a gangsta way up there? 

When I'm way down here, sayin' my gangsta prayer? 

I'm so down bad, and even after all that 

You still never turned your back, uh.. 



[Verse Two] 

I do this sick 'cause this what keep a nigga sane 

I do this here to keep me in the game 

This how I vent my anger and my pain 

When my struggle for the strain 

Feel like a vice grip on my brain 

Here go my sunshine, after the rain 

Cause now I understand 

I can come to you, look up and holla at you like a man, cause 

I'm just really really tryin' ta right a few of my wrongs 

I holla at you in a few of my songs 

Like, this one instead of "make them girls shake they backside" 

I thank you for forgivin' me for everytime my back slide 

Just tryin' ta spread my vision 

Now that I'm in a position to talk to the skreets and they listen 

We all thug niggaz, feelin' like we too far gone 

We too down bad, we too far wrong 

And I realize, we never too far from home 

So I'm hopin' they sing along to the song 

Cause so many of them hear me now 



[Chorus] 



[Verse Three] 

I know the real feel when I put it down like 

When my heart bleed on the beat, this what it sound like 

Even them fake niggaz feel when I'm spittin' that 

But they got too much pride to be admittin' that 

But they can learn every word to it, listen back 

This ain't a fabricated rap, nigga this is fact 

This is exactly what my heart told to my soul 

What my soul told me 

What I told to the beat 

What I hold to the skreets, that's God still love you 

No matter what you do or what a nigga think of you 

Even if you got a monkey on yo back 

And every prostitutes and thugs too, God still love you 

And every woman that done had an abortion 

And my niggaz sellin' drugs too, God still love you 

He right there to see us fall in them traps 

With his arms out, waitin' for us to come back 

Hah 



[Chorus] 



[Max's voice slowed] 

See I knew... I knew I had to keep it real with God 

When I picked up my pen and wrote this right here 

You know Wha'm sayin'? 'Cause after everything he 

Done blessed me with, know wha'm sayin',nigga still 

Be out here glorifying that foolishness, You know 

Wha'm sayin. But at the end of the day, what's real 

Is real, Ya heard me? And you can't run from that 

You can't hide from that, know wha'm sayin'? You got 

To keep it real with him, so that's what I did. That's 

Why I say, 'til I do it again like this, this gone 

be the realest way I ever done it. It's Young Minelli 

World, Nigga...
