Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Delegating isn’t one of my strong suits
I’ve seen it take a toll and be harmful
I’ve seen what it can do when I got both of my arms full
But still continue to pile more on my back though
I learned at a young age if you wanna do something impactful
Then you gotta be willin’ to sacrifice and really go after it
With everything that you have
‘Cause if you don’t, it ain’t never gon’ happen (Listen)
Gotta prevail, gotta excel
Think I hit my peak? No, I just started climbin’ the hill
Kill or be killed, well, if that’s the way that you feel
I hope you know you ’bout to get the raw end of thе deal
I need to meditate
“I ain’t got no room to grow,” I would nеver say (No)
Conversations with the Lord should be every day
Reconnectin’ with my core, get my head on straight
Praying on my downfall, let ’em pray

[Pre-Chorus]
Résumé (Résumé)
Check the résumé (Check the résumé)
Set the pace, I don’t hesitate (I don’t hesitate)
Yeah, just get it done, let me demonstrate (Demonstrate)
Demonstrate (Demonstrate), demonstrate (Demonstrate)
Let it soak in, let it resonate (Resonate)
Blood, sweat and tears on the 808s
See ’em prayin’ on my downfall (Let ’em pray)

[Chorus]
Oh (Woah), let ’em pray (Let ’em pray)
Woo, let ’em—, let ’em pray (Let ’em pray)
See ’em prayin’ on my downfall
Ayy, let ’em pray (Let ’em pray)
Yeah, let ’em—, let ’em pray (Let ’em pray)
Woo, let ’em—, let ’em pray
Ayy, see ’em prayin’ on my downfall
Let ’em pray

[Verse 2]
Sentimental, influential
Every step I’ve ever taken in the wrong direction (Yeah)
Helped me get to where I am today and led to
Monumental moments in my life that I would not
Have got to experience if I’da
Let the mistakes that I made rob me of my
Full potential, life will test you
Don’t forget to remember the fundamentals (Woo)
I gotta get back to those
Be surprised what you find when you climb out your comfort zone
I get uncomfortable when I get too comfortable
You corner me and that’s all she wrote
I’m in a headspace I ain’t never been before
You don’t bring nothin’ to my life, then I exit yours
Let’s get right to it, yeah, I ain’t with the back and forth
You either with me or against me, a easy choice
The momentum buildin’, I can feel it
My resilience, cannot hide it, can’t conceal it (Woah)
Made me suffer some, but also made me brilliant
Pass my brilliance down and teach my children
Life is precious, life is treacherous
Life is filled with dead-end roads
Keep on pushin’, keep on healin’
See you prayin’ on my downfall
Go on, keep on prayin’, God ain’t listenin’ to you (Ayy)

[Pre-Chorus]
Résumé (Résumé)
Check the résumé (Check the résumé)
Set the pace, I don’t hesitate (I don’t hesitate)
Yeah, just get it done, let me demonstrate (Demonstrate)
Demonstrate (Demonstrate), demonstrate (Demonstrate)
Let it soak in, let it resonate (Resonate)
Blood, sweat and tears on the 808s
See ’em prayin’ on my downfall (Let ’em pray)

[Chorus]
Oh (Woah), let ’em pray (Let ’em pray)
Yeah, let ’em—, let ’em pray (Let ’em pray)
Woo, see ’em prayin’ on my downfall
Ayy, let ’em pray (Let ’em pray)
Woo, let ’em—, let ’em pray (Let ’em pray)
Yeah, let ’em—, let ’em pray (Let ’em pray)
Ayy, see ’em prayin’ on my downfall
Let ’em pray (Let ’em pray)
