Hope and Pray Songtext
von Mavado

Yeah, check one
Yeah, definitely, it′s all good
Ha, ha
Hmmm, when yuh a run dem wah yuh crawl
(Hmmm) when yuh a rise, dem dying fi hear yuh fall

But hope and pray, hope and pray
Jah shine Him light my way
Hope and pray, hope and pray
Go out mi neva stray
Hope and pray, hope and pray
Nah go under clear
Hope and pray, hope and pray
Seh mi a hope and pray


Dem wah know, how I did it? But I did it
Di ruffest of times I've been through it
Badmind, grudgeful dying fi mi fidget
Through mi house and mi car dem legit
Mi work fi mi tings
Dem sell out every minute
Dem sell out, admit it

Dem stand beside yuh and dem wah see yuh fall
When di hennessy pull dem come sip it

But badmind and grudgeful mi nuh wah see dem nuh longer
Seh wan′ pray and pray fi my downfall mi live longer
Mi nuh eat mi nuh drink from people, no sah mi nuh wanga
Dem pray and pray fi my downfall
Jah-Jah mek mi stronger

But hope and pray, hope and pray
Jah shine Him light my way
Hope and pray, hope and pray
Go out mi neva stray
Hope and pray, hope and pray
Nah go under clear
Hope and pray, hope and pray
Seh mi a hope and pray


Mi know by now, mi enemies a wonder
Di threat weh dem send and mi still nah go under
By now dem a wonder, how di youth suh progressive
An' di youth a get stronger
A clean heart is the answer
'Nuff a dem a wither down an a nuh AIDS nor Cancer
Jus′ fi wear name brand sah
Dem do some filthy tings now dem cya answer

Badmind and grudgeful mi nuh wah see dem nuh longer
Seh gwaan pray and pray fi my downfall mi live longer
Mi nuh eat mi nuh drink from people, no sah mi nuh wanga
Dem pray and pray fi my downfall
Jah, Jah mek mi stronger

But hope and pray, hope and pray
Jah shine Him light my way
Hope and pray, hope and pray
Go out mi neva stray
Hope and pray, hope and pray
Nah go under clear
Hope and pray, hope and pray
Seh mi a hope and pray

Pray, hope and pray
Pray, seh mi a hope and pray
Pray, hope and pray
Seh mi a hope and pray
