Prayer of An Oversoul

Dear Most High, I pray for the crimes I tend to commit My mind that will justify my actions legit My cronies in their trials I pray for their lives For haters come hatin' with their guns and knives My enemies loathe me and fear me the same I pray that their envy don't make me their blame My family, despite being dysfunctionally grimy-- I love 'em the same, from the proud to the whiny The ladies that serve my multiple reasons-- I pray for their purpose from lessons in seasons For the real folks that's seekin' my progress and theirs-- I pray our success will endure through the years I pray for these streets which bore me and raise me I pray reconstruction 'cause these times gettin' crazy I pray for the knowledge I'm continually shown But most of all I pray for the unseen and the unknown.
