G Perico – I Pray (Audio, Lyrics, Video)

G Perico unveils the official music video for the song, “I Pray” which was produced by Dupri.

G Perico I Pray

G Perico has been coming through with heat in the past few years. Since the beginning of 2021, he unveiled eight projects in total with no signs of slowing down. This week, he slid through with his latest release, “I Pray.” The rapper takes on a sleek beat where he paints a portrait of the bleak streets of Los Angeles. “The city do the same shit every single year/ That’s why I stand alone, on my own, facing fears,” he raps on the song. The record not only finds Perico reflecting on the evolution of the Los Angeles streets but also, on the risk of being a rapper from the city.

Lyrics

Gotdamnitdupri

[Chorus]
Every night fore I lay down, I pray
Please god, I hope life go my way
Gotta keep a blick close by
Cause there’s niggas getting shot everyday, it get spooky
Swear this shit like a movie
You full of shit, when you die, you gon dookie
Scared to let anybody close to me
When I close my eyes, I think god spoke to me

[Verse 1]
Uh, yeah, dead on arrival
You could tell he gone, you ain’t even gotta check his vitals
But he put up a fight
God bless his soul cause he done with the life
The city do the same shit every single year
That’s why I stand alone on my own facing fears
These old niggas drinking beers
Ain’t really thug the streets in the last twenty years
Fuck all that old shit, what’s happening now?
The homie got hit, you gotta go back now
If you black and you rap, they gon play it back in trial
Guess the rap game is the new streets now
I be looking at life, I got a new lease now
It’s a war in my mind, I need a new peace now
And I’m finally moving on, a million dollar business
The growing pains almost killed me

[Chorus]
Every night fore I lay down, I pray
Please god, I hope life go my way
Gotta keep a blick close by
Cause there’s niggas getting shot everyday, it gets spooky
Swear this shit like a movie
You full of shit, when you die, you gon dookie
Scared to let anybody close to me
When I close my eyes, I think god spoke to me

[Verse 2]
Uh, ain’t no love, ain’t no peace
Don’t give him no guns, he on drugs, he can’t think
He gon be in a courtroom singing..
While your baby at home, newborn just started teething
Whole life been making bad decisions
Can’t see the drama coming, he got real bad vision
Don’t leave nothing around cause he gon steal it
And these the type of muh’fuckas I done had to deal with
Give me my credit
I came up from nothing, you can’t not respect it
The team start melting down when you need help
To be top shit, you gotta bet on yourself
Niggas gon talk down, niggas gon switch
Niggas gon spread rumors that could get you killed..
Then act like it’s nothing
You better thank god when you make it thru the Summer

[Chorus]
Every night fore I lay down, I pray
Please god, I hope life go my way
Gotta keep a blick close by
Cause there’s niggas getting shot everyday, it gets spooky
Swear this shit like a movie
You full of shit, when you die, you gon dookie
Scared to let anybody close to me
When I close my eyes, I think god spoke to me
