4AM

I don't pray, I don't pray like I used to
 I can't wait, can't keep waiting on you
 Say somethin', just say somethin'
 Say somethin', just say somethin'
 I don't pray, I don't pray like I
 I can't wait, can't keep waiting on you
 Say somethin', just say somethin'
 Just say somethin', just say somethin'
 Pray for the daylight, uh
 Pray for the daylight
 Pray for the day I
 Find me the way—I'm
 Lost and I can't find faith 'cause it ain't mine
 Momma taught me how to pray
 Pastor told me that I'm saved
 But is that really what it takes?
 I don't wanna be like, everybody that I see up on TV
 I wanna love when I walk like I seen Christ
 But it's hard when I watch what it be like
 I don't see Christ
 'Cause half the pastors in America
 Don't want my family in America
 And even Jesus was an immigrant
 But don't nobody seem to give a

 Whole house shook when the cops knocked
 Whole house shook when the cops knocked
 4AM and they want Pops
 4AM and they want Pops
 Daddy turned around said "farewell"
 Momma cryin' on the stairwell
 Little brother go look out the window, huh
 "Why Daddy got handcuffs on him?
 He ain't did nothin'
 He ain't never did nothin'
 All he ever did was work for his children
 Pay the rent, a little income
 Why they gotta take him?
 Why they gotta break us?
 I mean, I mean he drive the church bus without a license but
 He was helpin' people get to church"
 I haven't prayed as much as I prayed that year
 Prayed as much as I prayed that year
 Some days I pray that I conquer fear
 Some nights I pray that I disappear
 Momma told me we'd be okay
 But I could tell that she's not okay
 Chest pain and anxiety
 She had trouble breathing the other day
 I had trouble believing the pastor
 Say "God's got a plan in all of this"
 As he smiled in a MAGA hat, I had to question his common sense
 I mean can't you see that we strugglin'
 And you gon' hit me with Bible scripts?
 Forget religion and politics man
 I just wanna have my dad back
 I'm prayin' for the daylight, uh
 Prayin' for the daylight
 Prayin' for the day I
 Find me the way
 I'm lost and I can't find faith, faith
 Prayin' for the daylight, uh
 Prayin' for the daylight
 Prayin' for the day I
 Find me the way
 I'm lost and I can't find faith, faith
